Jeongyeon was jolted awake by a blood-curdling scream. She sat up in bed, her heart pounding in her chest. The sound came from Momo's side of the room.

She looked over and saw Momo standing on her bed, her eyes wide with terror. She was jumping up and down, flailing her arms wildly.

"What's wrong?" Jeongyeon asked, her voice filled with concern.

Momo pointed to the floor. "There's a cockroach!" she shrieked.

Jeongyeon looked down and saw a small, brown insect scurrying across the floor.

Momo's fear was far from subsiding. "I hate bugs!" she wailed. "Please get rid of it!"

Jeongyeon was about to help her when she remembered the red tape that Momo had taped across the room the night before. She stood there, contemplating the situation.

Finally, she spoke. "Sorry, not sorry but I can't help you." 

Momo's jaw dropped. "What do you mean? You can't just let me deal with this alone."

Jeongyeon shrugged. "The cockroach is on your side of the room. According to the rule you made last night,  you should deal with it."

Momo was shocked."But I'm scared of bugs!" she protested.

Jeongyeon simply replied, "Tough luck."

Momo's screams continued as the cockroach started to fly, its wings creating a buzzing sound.  She failed her arms in a vain attempt to swat it away.

Suddenly, something else flew past Momo, striking the cockroach mid-air. The insect was squashed to the wall, its wings pinned against its body.

Momo looked down, her eyes wide with surprise. Jeongyeon was laying on her bed, her hand held high. She had thrown a slipper at the cockroach, knocking it to the floor.

"How did you do that?" Momo asked, her voice filled with awe.

"You're welcome. Next time, try not to wake up the entire dorm with your screaming. I was trying to get some sleep.", came Jeongyeon's snarky remark.

Momo, crossing her arms let out a scoff before getting off the bed. She looked at the squashed cockroach  now dropped down on the floor one last time and walked towards the bathroom.

Jeongyeon and Jihyo were walking towards the campus entrance when they heard a car horn honking repeatedly. They turned to see a beautiful girl standing beside a parked car, her face flushed with frustration.

The girl was wearing a simple white t-shirt and denim shorts. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes sparkled like diamonds. She was clearly the most beautiful girl Jeongyeon had ever seen.
