MY CELEBRITY ROOMMATE (Romantic Comedy)

CHAPTER 10 - BANG BANG or BLING BLING?

Dara ran towards Lee Jongwan, leaving Jiyong behind. She was really excited that a guy in her school finally acknowledged her and treated her nicely. Most of the boys, especially those bastards from her class, usually ignored her or made fun of her.

"Hi, Lee Jongwan!"

"Oh, you know my name?" He remarked while smiling back at Dara.

"Of course! Your major is Music just like my friend Bom. I saw you perform with your group last year during our Foundation Day. You and your group mates are really awesome. You're like a real KPop boy band!"

Jiyong, who was walking towards her, immediately stopped on his tracks and had a great urge to smack Dara's head off her body. How dare her talk about KPop boy band when she doesn't know shit about KPop!

The girl pulled something from her bag and offered it to Jongwan. "Here's the handkerchief you lent me last time. Thank you so much. By the way, how did you know my name?"

"Uh, actually I saw the posters about the bet and word just went around about who you were," he replied while accepting the handkerchief.

Dara glanced back at Jiyong with the mention of the bet. Given the outpour of problems that she was facing, the bet totally slipped her mind! OMOOO! Dara was absolutely sure that if she brought it up to Jiyong, he would tear her limbs apart!

Then...an idea popped on Dara's mind. If Jiyong wouldn't agree to come to the Univ Ball, she had to kiss a guy in front of everyone, right? Well, she wouldn't really mind giving her first kiss to Lee Jongwan! Kyaahhh! He was the most popular guy in school, not to mention he was cute, smart, talented, a real gentleman and the list went on. Everything was turning out great! What were the odds of the celebrity Kwon Jiyong being her roommate plus the hottest guy in campus being friendly with her? The world was really cooking up something grand for her and she was liking every bit of it! Even though her encounters with the two gorgeous guys were brought about by the disasters she caused – she met Jiyong when she was drunk and she met Lee Jongwan when she almost murdered her classmate – that was fate going on right there! Hah!

Dara was smiling from ear to ear at her own thoughts but was brought back to reality when Jiyong flicked his fingers on her forehead. She didn't realize he was already beside her.

"Oh, by the way this is Kwo-..."

Dara's words were cut off when Jiyong nudged her angrily that she almost lost her balance. She covered her mouth when she realized she almost mentioned his real name.

"I'm her cousin," he muttered while sending signals to Dara that they really had to go since it was dangerous for him to be in a place with a bunch of fangirls plus he had a lot of things to do, like killing her and throwing her corpse in a faraway land for instance. But this stupid piece of an ahjumma just wouldn't get it and even proudly announced his pseudo-name KIM RAMYUN!

"Jongwan, meet my cousin Kim Ramyun!" She chirped.

Oh man, she is really digging her grave! Jiyong just nodded at Lee Jongwan, grabbed the back collar of Dara's shirt and dragged her, causing Dara to walk backwards. Oblivious to the anger of Jiyong, Dara was enthusiastically waving goodbye to Jongwan.

JIYONG's POV

SHE IS SO DEAD! DEAD, I tell you! I've been very accommodating up to this point, but this is intolerable!

When we reached the apartment, she had been thanking me endlessly. She was still on high spirits, but as soon as I mentioned about what I heard on the school corridors, her face turned pale. She knew she was in a very deep DEEP SHIT!
