Swapping Housemates

His Clown and Her Maid

"So what's this thing called again?" Jiyeon lazily twirled the pasta on her plate. But to no avail neither Seung Hyun and Chaerin were listening to her. They were looking at each other like they had a secret they don't want to share. Jiyeon couldn't help but cringe at the sight of the two lovebirds spoon feeding each other.

All of a sudden the door of Seung Hyun and Jaejoong's apartment flew open and a very grumpy Jaejoong emerged. His brows furrowed, his eyes dark like vast black, his lips in a thin line and his shoulders very tensed. He slammed the door closed and ignored them.

Despite his very moody attitude, he managed to take off his shoes and carefully place it in the shoe rack near the door but he was grumbling to himself while doing so. He went straight to their room but was still grumpy and slamming things here and there.

The words "Snob... bitch... STD..." were the only coherent words that the three could hear from him. Jiyeon couldn't help but smile to herself knowing that she's the cause of Jaejoong's grumpy mood.

"What's his problem?" Seung Hyun asked himself and then gave Chaerin a shy smile.

"Yah!!! Jaejoong, we have pesto here. Just come out once your done PMS-ing!" Seung Hyun shouted.

"I'm not freakin' PMS-ing. Ask our snob bitch neighbor across the hall for my foul mood and you'll know why!" Jaejoong screamed from their room. 

Chaerin's and Seung Hyun's heads automatically jerked towards Jiyeon. The latter just shrugged and chewed her pasta happily. 

"What did you do, unnie!?" Chaerin raised her voice, scolding her unnie.

"Why the hell do you think it's my fault?" Jiyeon asked back. Her voice was monotonous but at the same time challenging. She placed a mouthful of pasta in her mouth, carefully chewing the pasta in her mouth looking at Chaerin with a glint in her eyes.

"Don't even try to deny it, unnie. The look in your eyes says it all. Geesh!!! Try to be nice to our neighbors unnie. They're very friendly people, why do you always feel the need to wreck havoc wherever you go?" Chaerin pursed her lips and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Lee Chaerin, you know for a fact that I only grace a person with my evil agenda if they bother me. Otherwise I'm perfectly a harmless indifferent uncaring individual." Jiyeon smiled at Chaerin and Seung Hyun while pouring herself some white wine.

"Now let's get on with this dinner you forced me to participate in so you can impress our very friendly neighbors. I'm dying to peacefully retire in our room." The sarcasm in Jiyeon's words was undeniable. She cocked a brow at Chaerin blushing and stealing a glance at Seung Hyun while mouthing an apology.

Somehow Jiyeon was forced by Chaerin in watching a horror movie in Seung Hyun's and Jaejoong's living room. Their apartment was immaculately designed for bachelors. The furniture was sleek, minimalist and mostly in neutral colors, black and white. Jiyeon sat in the single couch while the two lovebirds were snuggled comfortably in the long couch.

"Oh god, why do I need to watch this stupid movie? I have no business here." Jiyeon groaned and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Unnie, if I let you go home, you won't rest. You'll drink coffee and read those boring medical heart surgery journals you always read. You have to learn to sit back and enjoy yourself. You don't have work tomorrow." Chaerin knew her unnie all too well. Jiyeon doesn't really know how to rest and do nothing. Whenever she isn't at the hospital, she reads medical journals and watches videos of the most complicated heart surgeries. 

About more than an hour later, Jaejoong came out freshly bathed smelling of lavender with a hint of aftershave and he was fully groomed. He went directly to the kitchen and prepared his dinner. He quietly peeled and chopped his fresh fruits and threw them in his bowl and dressed it with a non-fat whipped cream. He also prepared his chilled carrot juice.
