Wendy

I feel that I am going to lose in this staring battle with all of them staring at me and I am the only one who is staring back at them, it is a very terrifying thing to know that there is no one on your side and every one of your roommates have all come together to fight you alone and they are going to keep you locked up for hours and hours as they interrogate you about your deepest secrets.

I have been trying to hide the fact that I am dating Jung HoSeok for the longest time ever since we confessed our feelings for each other and we started dating each other on that very same day, it has been approximately 3 days ever since I started dating Jung HoSeok officially and I have hidden it so well that they didn't suspect a thing at all.

I initially thought that I could even keep up with the lying until I hopefully get married to Jung HoSeok someday and they get invited to our wedding without even knowing, but they were too smart for us and they are of the same gender as me and they live in the same apartment as me. There is no way that they wouldn't find out about anything, it was too risky and I risked it and I failed.

If only we kissed somewhere that is not the front of the apartment building where everyone can see us, I wouldn't have been caught. We should've hung out somewhere instead of going back home so that we can do the romantic things with each other without my roommates having a chance to catch me in the act and I wouldn't be in this very situation right now.

Just kill me right now... Irene got up from the couch, breaking her eye contact with me as she looked at the others before looking back at me again. "So, mind if you could explain about the entire thing? About you and Jung HoSeok, what are the both of you?"

I gulped my saliva at her terrifying stare and I looked at the others, hoping to find a kinder gaze but there isn't anyone, everyone is looking at me as if they want to eat me up this instant and they are just waiting. "If you are going to keep denying about it, there is a punishment and we will keep doing that until you own up to it." Yeri pointed her finger towards the feather that Joy is now holding in her hand. "You're afraid of that feather right?"

"Son Wendy," I looked towards Seulgi who has always been the kinder looking ones of the rest but she isn't looking any kinder today, it is as if she has been possessed by the Goddess of evil. "We have been treating you as a friend and a sister right? Tell us about Jung HoSeok if you love us."

I cleared my throat. "Guys, do you really have to do that?" I asked all of them. "You guys are going too far about this, I was just waiting for the right time to tell you guys about me and HoSeok."

Joy broke out of her character. "Is that it? I thought that you will start denying even further and we would have to start torturing you to get the answers from you but it is easier than I have expected." She put down the feather that is in her hand. "I even had to pull out one feather from the feather duster just for the whole thing, it is a waste of my time and effort to look the part."

Irene finally looked a little less scary. "Then, tell us. We have been dying to know how exactly the two of you have gotten together."

"Do you guys need any drinks and snacks?" Yeri asked.

I shook my head. "It is not going to take very long, it is not like I am going to tell a whole story about my life story." And I did tell a whole story about how we first met which they already knew all the way to how HoSeok came to the apartment just to confess his feelings for me, it is such a touching love story for anyone who is a part of it.

It took exactly one hour for my story to finish and Seulgi was yawning very loudly. "Well, that wasn't a very short storytelling session that you were saying." She stretched her body.

"Right, I should've gotten those snacks and drinks for you guys." Yeri got up from the couch going to the kitchen. "Drinks and snacks, anyone?"

"Isn't it better if we order a box of fried chicken? I heard that the fried chicken place that we always liked has a new flavour that came out very recently." Joy suggested, showing the post on her phone screen to the rest of us. "And there is a promotion right now if we buy the new flavoured chicken and we will get free drinks of our choice."

"Sounds great." I nodded my head in delight. "Then buy 2 boxes, it will be enough for all of us."

"Don't buy for me, I don't want to have fried chicken at this timing and I want to look good the next morning, I have a presentation and I don't want to look like a potato in front of everyone." Irene got up from the couch and made her way back to her room. "Goodnight everyone and I will see you in the morning."

We all said good night to her and she closes the door shut. "So, is it still 2 boxes?" Yeri asked and everyone else nodded. "I'll go wash up first."

"Aren't I the person who is supposed to shower first? It is listed in the roster and you were supposed to shower right after me." Joy walks over to her and they have their little daily squabbles with each other, it is never-ending and they will feel weird if they don't argue with each other over trivial things.

Seulgi sits nearer to me. "I'm glad that you took that step, it is all worth it and you didn't want to do that before. What made you change your mind?"

"Jung HoSeok, I am glad that he finally confessed to me and I accepted his confession, if not I would remain like this for the rest of my life regretting that I didn't agree to date him. It was a great decision right?" I smiled.

"Well, if it makes you happy, all of us would be happy for you." She switches on the television and she gestured towards me and my phone. "Aren't you going to call delivery?"

"Since when am I supposed to call delivery and I am not even the person who suggested it, Park Joy was the main mastermind behind it and she left the dirty work for us." And she escaped away before I could even realize that she was going to make me pay. "Park Joy! You witch!" I ran after her.
