"FUCK OFF!"

Minji absolutely did her usual swing of slap. She has done this countless time to men who were insisting to keep their so called "Relationship" going. Of course in reality, they didn't have anything going in. In fact, the only one who gained from that is Minji. Because at the end of the day, Minji wasn't even looking for a relationship but wanting to gain everything from the guy leaving him with nothing.

And if push comes to shove, She will swing for the fences. And that's her infamous slap. She doesn't know when it started but slapping people always felt good for her. The sight of seeing the poor guy with a look of fear excites her. It pumps the blood running through her vains faster than normal. The pained expression and helplessness just excites her.

So having the opportunity to see that expression from you, was the day it will be her happiest day in life.

But unfortunately, that day wasn't today.

Because you saw that kind of action coming from a mile away. Even an idiot level brain could see the reaction Minji was about to do. Although you didn't mean to startle her, you gotta admit, it was fun teasing her this way.

Before the events of this transpired, you and Dave were arguing about the fact that you just learned that the stall given by the University is so small. The plan was to have a traditional Japanese food place that can be able to serve both take-outs and dine in customers. But with the small space given to them, it seems that the staff itself will be limited. This in turn annoyed you because this was mistreatment straight from the university.

But of course many people would just brush it off because many casuals would say

"Oh this University is the best for students"

When they haven't even, first hand experience what you experienced in the first place. It's a problem not just in your university but in society in general. It's quite saddening to think about it but you have to move on and continue with what you have. So you tried asking Rei for advice but seeing her with Minji all the way back made you move to closer to them.

And that's the story before Minji tried to slap Your head off. That description wasn't exaggerated by the way. As you moved out of the slaps trajectory, a small gust of winds passed your face. It was there that you realized, that Minji was really trying to take your head off.

"Do you always lean into violence? The last we met, You slapped me when I only did good for you. Now that I just asked nicely, you tried to do it again but this time, you want my head off my body."

"That's because you were invading my personal space you dip shit!"

"Why I atta-"

"Y/N-Kun! I think your friend is asking for us now."

Rei's words was enough to break up the possible implosion of anger between you two. If there's one thing Rei hates more than being poverty is people arguing, especially those people she deeply cares about. She really doesn't understand why you hated Minji's gut, same goes with Minji. Rei isn't a fan of hating on people because she knew that hatred doesn't feed her stomach nor does it help her anxious mind.

The more sight of people arguing only makes her more stressed and worried about what would happen next. She knows confrontation isn't always end in good terms. Her eyes has recorded encounters of people dying just because of a small argument. The countless times she has heard gunshots and people dying infront of her still scares her to this day.
