001. Fuck Men

It was supposed to be a normal Saturday evening

for you, you know, the ones where you stopped giving shits about everything like they were freebies? Yeah. That was the plan.

It was simple, wake up, grab a snack that your roommate Shoko leaves for you, grab a quick read for the bookstore a corner down the street, hop onto the train and arrive at the company, staying hours planning blueprints and taking walks around the floor you share with no name co-workers for inspiration; before finishing and going home for the day. Not forgetting to pick up a pack of cigarettes and cake for your best friend on the way home.

This was a routine you found true comfort in. Despite the fact it sounded mild and boring, you found your joy designing structures. It was an art that gave you purpose, and with that you became a renowned architect.

You had a side hobby which was playing music but you never really pursued it and made it into a job, something to help wind down when life was getting too stressful.

The thing that made life so stressful was no other than your amazing ball sucking boyfriend. You went out with him a while after starting your career. He was such a sweet guy at first, bringing roses every time he visited and complimenting you every occasion. Hell, he even bought you a new car to carry all your stuff more efficiently! The internet never knew about him because you never wanted to be on of those people who share every single detail of your life.

The fame was never an issue, it was only things that interfered with your work. So you made sure if there was any problem in your relationship, you'd address it and talk it through so there was clear communication.

Before he started acting a bit weird. He had a really big social media presence but he never posted about you either. Until one day you found out he was cheating openly with his side. He asked for money saying it was to get through the day and thank the heavens you never gave it to him.

Such a sly bastard.

"Are you sure you're fine?" The brown haired girl laying on your lap eyes narrowed with a scrutinizing gaze. Her being oozed out concern you've never seen before. Almost confused.

"the guy basically—" the sound of plastic popping open caught her attention. "You're fucking with me" She stared with annoyance as you casually popped a ring pop between your lips. Your index finger playing with the small handle at the bottom with mild disinterest. A satisfied hum left your throat.

"how so?" You questioned after discarding the candy back into the plastic and focusing on your phone. "Hottest trending designs featuring L/N" was in the search bar. You absentmindedly scrolled on the screen before turning your attention back to the girl who was now reaching for a pack for cigarettes.

"the dick head basically tried to fuck up your life and now you're sitting here with a stash of candy as if nothing happened? [Name], I know you better than anyone" opening the oxygen reducing pack with ease before looking around for a lighter. "I at least expected some complaining.." she trailed off.

It was a hassle to admit, but you knew she was right. It'd be a total lie to say it hadn't affected you somehow. But it would create more trouble if you went off bawling about how your ex-boyfriend is a bitch. That's exactly what he wants and the last thing you want is to give the logic deprived slug what he wants.

"Too tired." You muttered. "I have 12 deadlines due for the end of the month. Can't be bothered"

"sooo.." shoko paused

"so?" You added. You knew the girl was planning something devious whenever she gets more worked up than you do. "Actually, before you finish I'll let you know in advance Im not doing whatever shit you have planned" hurrying to clear up the air before she could get her sentence through, sweat dripped from your forehead.

"come on..I never even got to finish" she sat up while putting down her cigarette, settling for the unfinished ring pop you put down a few minutes prior.

"How about..a break."

Now that caught your attention. It's not like you couldn't take a break and had a severe case of workaholism, there was just never that need for one.

Shoko was naturally lazy, however she was talented in the medical field. But the second she was offered a chance for a break? She would leap at it like no other.

Yet, if she's worked up the nerve to ask you of all people to take a break, theres gotta be a catch.

"..whats the catch"

Shoko placed her backhand to her forehead with dramatics. "You think so low of me! I merely just want a good friend of mine to take a break is all"

A chuckle escaped your lips as your eyed crinkled "yeah yeah sure there isnt. Now cut the bullshit"

you turned to eye her.

"what 'trip' do you have in mind for me?"

Shokos face brightened with glee, and the next words that came from her lips made your mind go blank.

"Suguru's House"
