Sangwoo x Yoonbum: If Things Were Different

Julia

"Are you still enjoying Korea so far?" Sangwoo asked the brunette across the table from him. It was now 8pm. The pair had just ordered their meals, and the waitress was pouring them some glasses of water.

"It's so different! But in a good way I think. If nothing else, it's been so good to have this experience!" Julia spoke all things with such enthusiasm. It was exhausting, but she was attractive enough to make it worth it. She was an exchange student from America, and was taking the same Finance class as Sangwoo.

"I'm glad to hear that." Sangwoo took a sip of his water, trying to decide where he wanting to move this conservation to. "How are you doing in Ms. Kyoka's class, if you don't mind me asking?"

Julia blushed slightly. "I'm- I'm doing alright. I probably could be doing better if I was simply able to focus on my studies more. But being here... Somewhere so new... How can I focus on school when I only have a couple months here?"

Sangwoo let out a chuckle. "So, when I took you to the amusement park last weekend, I was helping you escape your studies?"

"Heh. Sort of! I really enjoyed it though, thank you so much for taking me!" Julia reached across the table and placed her hand on top of Sangwoo's.

God, this was going to be easy. I was hoping that going after someone in my own class would prove more of a challenge.

Sangwoo flipped his hand over so that he could lightly hold Julia's fingers within his hand. "We should hang out at my place next time so that there are less things to distract you." Sangwoo said this with just a bit of flirtatious inflection, as he did not want it to come across sleazy.

Julia smiled awkwardly; slightly taken aback by his offer, but not in a negative way. She was about to respond when the waitress came back, one plate in each hand. Julia thanked the waitress as she set down the plates and then turned back to Sangwoo.

"Are you sure there's nothing to distract me at your house?" Julia said skeptically once the waitress was gone.

Sangwoo leaned forward so that he could say his next words softer. "Not unless you want there to be." His words sounded fairly serious, but there was a large grin on his face to go with them. There was pause as the blushing Julia was unsure of what to say. "Well, let's eat! Don't want our food to get cold." Sangwoo picked up his fork and knife to begin cutting off a piece of his steak.

"I don't mean to be rude, but is there a reason that your apartment is so bare?" Julia asked, removing her shoes in the entryway. After thinking for a second she added: "Well I guess single men usually don't decorate their places as much as women do, huh?"

"Heh. Not usually. I also just moved into this place a few weeks ago." Sangwoo lied. "I haven't finished putting in all the furniture and stuff yet; I've been more focused on school." Sangwoo dragged out his last few words, teasing Julia about their earlier conversation.

"Oh stop it!" Julia playfully nagged. "How 'bout this? I'll promise to focus more on school... if you do something for me." Julia stepped closer to Sangwoo as she spoke, biting her bottom lip as she laid out her final words.

"And what would you ask of me?" Sangwoo hung his coat on the hook in the wall. Once he was fully facing the woman again, she swung her arms around his neck. Since she was significantly shorter than Sangwoo, this stance forced her on to her tiptoes and her chest to press up against Sangwoo.

Sangwoo looked Julia directly in the eyes and placed his hands on her hips. There were a few moments of silence before the both of them closed the distance between the two pairs of lips. Sangwoo picked up the young woman, forcing her legs on either side of him, and moved the party of two to the room with the mattress. It wasn't long before both bodies were sweaty, the sheets a mess, and the clothes were strewn about the room.

"That was really nice." Julia said once she caught her breath a bit. The two of them were laying side by side on the mattress. She rolled over onto her side to look at Sangwoo. "I usually don't do this sort of thing so quickly..." She snuggled closer, but Sangwoo didn't respond in kind; he merely moved his eyes to look at her.

"Then why did you?" Sangwoo's words were chilled. Julia seemed a bit shocked by the question.

"Well, I guess it could be because I'm only here for so long you know, and you're extremely attractive and you've been so helpful- showing me around these past couple weeks. You're a really nice person, Sangwoo."

A crooked smile etched itself onto Sangwoo's face as he finally turned to face Julia. "That's the problem, sweetheart. I'm really not a nice person."

Julia looked a bit confused. "What are you-"

"You can leave now." Sangwoo stated.

"Stop joking with me!" An uncomfortable Julia tried to laugh the situation off as some sort of joke.

"I'm not joking." Sangwoo sat up on the mattress and began looking for his boxers. "I got what I wanted from you, and now I'm done." Getting up from the bed, Sangwoo put his boxers back on. Julia sat up, Sangwoo's words finally starting to make sense.

"What you wanted? Sex is all you wanted?!" Anger rose in the woman's voice.

"Yeah. What else could I possibly want from you?" Sangwoo looked Julia dead in the eyes from his spot just a foot or two away.

"You asshole!" Julia grabbed a pillow and chucked it at Sangwoo's face. "What was the point of showing me around town, or taking me to dinner?"

Sangwoo let the pillow hit him, and then promptly fall to the floor. "Don't ask stupid questions. Just get dressed and leave. Or leave naked, I don't care."

Tears were flowing down Julia's face now, pulling some black eyeliner down with them. Sangwoo could see Julia physically steel herself before she got up and began gathering her things.

"I hope you rot in Hell." Julia stood before Sangwoo one last time, now dressed and very upset.

"You'll get to see it for yourself... Sluts go to Hell too." Sangwoo coldly replied. A hand smacked him across the face before Julia stormed out of the room and then the house.
