*ALL CONVERSATIONS ARE IN KOREAN IN THIS CHAPTER AND THE FOLLOWING ONES UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED*

I'm doing a pretty good job at not talking to Jackson. It's already been a week and I haven't spoken a word to him. I mean, I do react to what he says or does through body language but only cause I can't help it. I'm naturally reactive. If there's such a word.

But with all that aside, Today is a very special day for me and I'm so excited. I invited Eric, Soo Hyun unnie, and my manager to come to the house today. Most of the roommates, Kang Joon, Guk Joo, Jackson, Youngji, Joon Hyung, and Nana, are staying in as well so I know we'll have so much fun. The PD's of the show prepared food for us to cook and games for us to play when our guests get here.

"OPPAAAA! What time are you getting here?" I asked my manager who was on the phone. "Oh, unnie!! You're coming together?" I asked, when I heard Soo Hyun say hi to me from the background noise. It sounded like someone grabbed the phone to say, "*E* HELLO WHAT'S UP??? *E* We're all coming together and we're on our way!" It was Eric. I panicked when I heard that they were already on the way. I'm not done with what I'm cooking yet and I haven't even taken a bath. Fortunately, Gook Ju, Nana, and Youngji volunteered to finish the rest of what I was cooking. The boys were outside, setting up chairs and tables.

I hurriedly went to our room to take a bath and dress up.

"Heeeeeeey!!" I ran to greet my visitors as soon as I saw them down the stairs.

Eric was already mucking around with Jackson. So I didn't even try interrupting them.

"So how has our Sammy been doing?" Eric asked the roommates while patting my head.
Jackson was the first one to answer. "Baaad." He said. "She never does chores and always comes home late!" I glared at him then denied what he said. "Hey! That's not true." Nana was quick to back me up saying I've been a really good roommate and I'm easy to get along with. Youngji agreed with her but added that sometimes she feels bad for me whenever she sees or hears me sobbing in bed. I told them I just really miss my family sometimes and that it's nothing. Eric hugged me after. I've never had a big brother but I know that he's what a big brother is like. To lighten up the mood again, I changed the topic to Eric's new song.

"Heard you got number 1 this week!!" I exclaimed, making Eric blush. Everyone cheered and chanted for him to show us a bit of his song. We had a piano in the living room so we all gathered there to hear it. Eric ended up singing the whole song. When he finished, he requested me and Jackson to sing a duet. He didn't know that I was ignoring Jackson and I didn't want him to know so I just made an alibi to prevent Jackson from singing with me. I told Eric Jackson had a sore throat but he didn't buy it. He insisted we sing together. So we did. We sang Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colby Collait. Everyone starting getting giddy and went on to teasing us.

When the visitors all left, Se Ho suggested we play truth or dare cause they haven't played it in a while. I got kind of nervous because they might ask me about Jackson and things might get awkward. I hope they don't.
We all gathered in the living room on the second floor. The bottle first landed on GookJu. She chose dare and was ask to sing and dance a trot song in front of everyone. Of course, she did it with no fuss. I thought to myself, if this was the kind of dares we have to do then I'll pick dare for sure. But they started asking people to drink vinegar and eat a spoonful of salt. I was so grossed out, when the bottle landed on me, I immediately said "TRUTH!!!"

"I have a question for her!" Jackson said. I looked at him with a surprised face. Is he gonna ask me why I'm ignoring him? Don't make this awkward, Jackson. Please.

"Do you have a crush on me?" Everyone burst out laughing, including me.

"She's been ignoring me for the past few days, I think it's cause she's falling for her Oppa."
