Irene loves to keep her things organized. Although the flight was tiring, she still wants to unpacked and put her things in right places. It was nine in the morning when she arrived. She immediately call her mom and Yeri. Telling her that they already miss her.

This would be a long day she said to herself. Luckily, the unit was fully furnished and just need a little of retouchment to pass her taste. She was going down and up for the nth time, the elevator was a big help but carrying alot of heavy boxes and new shopped paraphernalia from the nearest mall is exhausting. She went to the nearest mall to buy some important things. And the distance of her unit was near at the corner of building adds to the struggle.

Alot of men offered her help but then she refused without saying a word, just looking at them intently at the eyes and they'll back off. Leaving Irene with her heavy boxes. There are lots of importatnt vunerable things on each of the boxes that no one is allowed to touch. She likes to do it herself. She likes to do it alone.

"I need to buy water and get the remaning boxes at the lobby" she whispered to herself. She wipe her sweat and looked at the mirror to make herself presentable.

Walking inside the store, she bump into someone taller. Her forehead sting. It was painful for Irene. This dumb person she look at her eyes. But she has a straight face. This blond was the one not looking! But if you're the one who's looking then you could have avoided her. Her mind scolded her. I decided to pass by her when I heard her annoying remark.

She pressed the open button of elevator while struggling to carry her boxes. Her vision was blocked by the boxes. When she entered the elevator, someone offered her help. Thanks God, it's a woman. She smiled a little bit. But then, it felt like she already heard that annoying voice. When the the stranger pick up the box it only confirmed her thought.

Irene doesn't want to assume but she felt like the younger lady was stalking her. It made her uncomfortable but the young lady sensed it and start explaining herself. When the elevator stops on their floor, she lead the way. And the other silently followed her. The young lady offered another help but Irene can handle anything. She just simply gave a thank you and locked the door, not wanting to prolong the conversation. It might sound rude, but she doesn't care.

Few hours had passed and Irene could call the place decent. She's very neat. Placing all her things on where they should belong. She's also deadly tired. Imagine, heading out on a flight, going for shopping and then unpacking her things. She's on another level being neat.

She vacum the floor and wipe all the remaining dirt. Someone had knocked on her door, she's not expecting anyone so her eyebrows furrowed in curiosity. She look at the hole. It was the annoying blonde.

She was interrupted, she feel kind of annoyed but still, she opened the door. It surprised her to see the blonde giving her a welcome present despite of their unpleasant encounter. That time, she was ready to be nice, even a little bit. She was ready to talk like a normal person, even a little bit. The blonde stummer, telling her it was Thai food. She had never tasted any Thai dish. She was hesitating whether to accept it or not. She didn't wan to put it into waste. Maybe it has poison. But nah, she seems to be nice but annoying. Unfortunately, her stomach starts growling like crazy. She was the first to react, before any of them could talk' she snatch the paper bag and accidentally slams the door to the blonde's face. Damn, I wanna go back to Daegu. Her embarrassment intensify when she heard the soft laughter outside.




Irene woke up late, making her doing anything in hurry. However, for unknown reason, Irene might be God's favorite because despite of bare face and unequal comb hair, she is still stunning, breathtaking, and a head turner.
