my annoying neighbour || ryeji

Monday has finally come to an end for a certain grey haired girl. Today has been a very hectic day for her as customers kept on walking in and out of her bakery leaving her and her three loyal workers restless. Ryujin ditched work 30 minutes early before closing time and passed the keys to Chaeryeong, her most reliable worker compared to the other two. She finally decided to invite her neighbour for dinner tonight to repay her good deed before. She's positive that they will form a new friendship soon.

Ryujin stopped by the wet market to get the ingredients needed to make a rotisserie chicken for dinner. Her narcissistic self can't stop smiling to herself and kept reminding herself that she's not just an amazing pastry chef but also a very good cook. She mumbled to herself, "I'm sure she's gonna fall head over heels over my amazing cook. Ha! I'm such a blessing to her."

After being satisfied with her mini grocery shopping, the grey haired girl waltzed home happily and start preparing her highlight menu for later. Ryujin hustle and bustle in her kitchen for almost 2 hours. She set the table up in perfect dining etiquette and left to get herself ready. She wanted to look very decent to impress her neighbour and made their first met memorable.

It's 9 o'clock and Ryujin has stood in front of her neighbour's front door for 10 minutes, mumbling nonsense greetings to herself. She stomped on her feet in annoyance. "Ugh! Why is it so hard? It was just a greeting, Ryujinie. C'mon ring her bell already for God's sake. You've got nothing to lose anyway you're the one and only great Shin Ryujin." She sighed heavily and rang the door bell twice. The door swung open revealing someone she never expected to see after years of disappearance.

"Ryujin?!"

"Yeji!"

The both exclaimed at the same time not believing their eyes.

"You're my neighbour?" They cried in unison with eyes gawking at each other. "What do you mean you're my neighbour?"

Ryujin massaged her temples while Yeji had her arms crossed staring intently at her ex girlfriend who's now her neighbour next door. Oh, how annoying that can be? "After all these years and you decided to show up now? Really, Ryujin?"

Ryujin tilted her head a bit to face the grumpy woman in front of her. "And after all these years, you're still an asshole I see. Plus, if I knew that you're the one who lived next door I wouldn't even signed the contract. I rather be in hell than being your neighbour." She stormed off from Yeji's, not forgetting to flash her ex girlfriend a middle finger.

"Why you little shit-" Yeji stopped herself midway from cursing Ryujin and calm herself. She slammed the door and threw herself onto the couch thinking why God made Ryujin her neighbour out of all people.

"Out of the billions of human population in this world, why did you made the painfully annoying Shin Ryujin as my neighbour?! Why God why?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

The high pitched faint screaming were heard by Ryujin who's now munching angrily on her rotisserie chicken. She thought her ex girlfriend faint screamings of anger and frustration of having her as her neighbour were music to her ears.

"YES! SCREAM AND YELL ALL YOU WANT UNTIL YOU'RE MUTE! YOU ASSHOLE!"

Ryujin yelled back to her neighbour who probably wailed over her existence. She gushed her drink in one go and continued to dine by herself. Just when she was about to take another bite of her delicious meal, an idea popped in her head making herself chuckled evilly.

"Oh, Hwang Yeji. This is only the beginning."
