MY CELEBRITY ROOMMATE (Romantic Comedy)

CHAPTER 5 - TROUBLESOME AHJUMMA

“I’m-sorry-for-what-I-did-to-your-apartment-may-I-stay-here-tonight?”

After saying that in one breath, Dara thought laser beams are going to shoot out of Jiyong’s eyes as he glared at her. It’s as if he’s deciding whether to boil her body or just swallow her whole.

“H-Hello”, she said sheepishly and waved her hand for added effect. “I-…” Dara jerked back in surprise when Jiyong abruptly slammed the door shut, almost knocking her face.

Jiyong crossed his arms over his chest and heaved a deep sigh when he heard the knocks again. He has to calm himself because his mind is filled with dark thoughts like picking up that pesky woman and javelin-throw her to the end of the galaxy. The knocks came again and he decided to open the door to talk some sense to the ahjumma girl. But upon opening it, his eyes widened at the sight of Dara with a huge belly.

“I’m pregnant. Please help a pregnant woman”, she said while holding her tummy, which is obviously full of the stuff that she was holding earlier. He can even see the silhouette of her bag in her makeshift belly.

Yep, she’s crazy. He closed the door again and this time, he decided not to open it anymore. He was about to walk away when he heard her knocking on the door again while calling his name.

“KWON JIYONG! Please, open the door! KWON JIYONG!”

Shit. She knows him.

“KWON JIYONG!”

He immediately dashed towards the door but to his surprise, nobody was standing on his doorstep. He then lowered his gaze and found the subject of his frustration in kneeling position while her arms are stretched forward and her face almost touching the floor.

“Kwon Jiyong, please let me stay for the night”, she begged and lifted her gaze, staring at him with pleading eyes.

“Stop saying my name!” He hissed and immediately checked the vicinity in case someone heard her.

“Arasso! I won’t! Please, I’m begging you. I don’t have anywhere else to go”, she said and clasped her hands together.

“Excuse me miss, but I don’t know you.”

“I’m Sandara Park!”

Patience, Kwon Jiyong. “I'm not referring to your name. I don't personally know you. We just met last night because you got on the wrong apartment. So, will you please stop this”, he said between gritted teeth.

“I really have nowhere to go tonight. I can sleep on the couch, on top of your cabinet, or anywhere! Just please let me stay over tonight! I'll find a place tomorrow!”

“Stay on a hotel then.”

“I don’t have any money either”, Dara replied in a dispirited voice.
