The rain has been pouring ever since I came to live with Areum. What's with the weather lately? It's usually all bright and sunny in New York, but then again it's probably because of the sudden global changes.

"Areum, how long is it going to be raining for? It feels like forever this shit has been going on for." I said as I looked through the window, seeing the cars race by and lights flickering.

Areum didn't respond surprisingly so I called her name again, "Areum?"

She still wasn't responding so I decided to look behind me to see what she was doing. She was glued onto her phone so seriously. Probably reading something juicy like she always does. I decided to go sit by her and nudge her shoulder a little to see what she was looking at.

"Dude, what are you even looking at, I was calling you a while ago." I said while looking at her.

"Shit really? sorry Y/N, but before I say anything else, read this right quick." She said as she continuously scrolled through her phone.

She handed me her phone while biting her nail on her thumb. I looked at her a bit confusingly but she quickly urged me to read it. The title of the article was labeled as "Unknown Idol!??"

"Uh.. ok.. um.. let's see.. "

"According to this article, a Korean idol happened to be at Busan and went to a hotel with his "fan," and apparently had raped the girl and killed her right after. There were no security cameras in the room whatsoever, but it did show the girl trudging along the wall in the hallway while this unknown idol was helping her walk to her room. This incident happened at 3:20 today and no signs of the Idol has been found. Investigators even said it themselves. "This guy is really good at covering his tracks it appears to be.. usually when people are drunk, they could hardly think and just leave the girl at it like that, but this shows that he must have drugged the girl while he was still stabled. Everyone should be aware of this and be cautious since this guy is still out there." The witness of this murder was the cleaning lady since she had to come into the room to clean. She had noticed that she was still in a sleeping position with the blanket laying on her. The cleaning lady quietly interrupted the lady by shaking her so that she could clean the bed, but just as she was doing that, she saw liquid appearing at the edge of the blanket by her shoulder. The woman indeed thought that something was wrong, so she took off her blanket and horrified as she was, there was flood of blood covering the whole blanket as well as the dead girl. The woman quickly called 911 as her voice was trembling. After the cops had came she did say that she had seen a man coming out during the night from that room, but she couldn't really tell on who the guy was. He was wearing a black cap and a black coat. The man has not been found yet but if anyone happens to find a man wearing this type of clothing as it has been described, notify the cops right away. This is all for Koreaboo's  juicy news team. We will come back with more useful information until more has been found."

"Holy shit... Areum!!" I exclaimed while looking back at her

"I know!! who could even do such a thing!!" she said while biting her fingers.

"This is some messed up shit, what idol would even do this??" I said as I scrolled through the article

 "You should be the one to answer that Y/N, we're literally obsessed with these type of things, but you're on a whole nother' level." She said while facing me.

 "That is true, but even if I wanted to know who this "killer" was, I would need more context idiot." I said as I slapped her on the arm playfully.

As she reached out to get a caramel candy while unwrapping it.

 "Well I don't know, maybe you should just-"

Before she could finish her line, my phone was ringing. It was buzzing on the table while moving slightly. I tilted my head to see who it was.

 "Ugh!! This day can't just get any worse." I said while watching the phone buzz.

I reached for my phone to put it on silent.

"Musty bitch?" She said as she chewed on her caramel.

"Yep it's the musty bitch (mom.)" I said while looking at Areum with a stern look. "This woman never leaves me alone I swear to god!! Ever since I came to live with you, the old hag has been calling me nonstop! Do you know how annoying that is!?" I said with anger and frustration.

"Gosh pumpkin, calm down! Can't ya just block her number?"

 "Trust me, even if I wanted to, I can't. It's literally impossible to get away from her! She'll know if I block her number and just find my new one somehow. Do you know how many times I had to change my number today?"

 "How many times.." She said while chewing on her caramel candy.

 "Almost 50 times!! 50!! Ugh!! I can never be free from this family even if I want to!! They even threatened me to go to a college that they wanted me to enroll in!! That is so absurd!!" I said as I felt tears in both of my eyes while angrily throwing my phone on the couch beside Areum.

 "Y/N I know it's been pretty rough, but you should really let them know in person if you really want them to be out of your life. Like they say! "If you don't do it, it'll never happen!" but let's not focus on the negative prospective.. hm..

Areum quickly grabbed her phone next to her and tried  searching something up.

 "Hey! I heard there's this new cake shop right by our dorm!" She exclaimed while looking at the menu.

She shows me the restaurant on her phone.

 "Looks pretty good, right?? The prices are reasonable too! and the shop closes at.. 8 pm!! We have plenty of time to get ready.. so if we do that.."

She quietly started mumbling to herself. As I grabbed my phone beside me to see my notifications, I saw that my boyfriend texted me after a whole week. He responded with.

"Hey! how ya been? sorry I haven't been able to respond to you lately, I've been pretty busy these days with these upcoming tests and such. I'm with my study group today so I'll try my best to text as fast as I can. Hope you're doing well!! Love you sweet pea!!" Along with that comes with a heart emoji. I scoffed in pity.

How pathetic. He uses the same excuses every time he tries to text me back. What am I even doing with my life with this asshole?? We're really not meant for each other and I can guarantee you that. The only thing that I liked about him was his looks, but this guy.. this guy just doesn't give a shit!! There's a reason why this shit hole never had a girlfriend.

I quietly chuckled to myself seeing the older messages.

Areum noticed that I was smirking.

 "Is it boyfie?" She said while looking at my phone.

As we made eye contact.

"Bullshit." I replied back to her.

We both laughed at the thought of me even being with this idiot.

 "When are you going to tell him the news?"

 "Hm.. Let's see.. maybe I'll tell him.. probably.. never." I said as I smiled.

 "Wow you really don't give a shit.. I like that." She said as she giggled. "Anyways, hurry up and get ready you bum, last time we even went anywhere, you took a whole damn hour just to get get ready. I am not letting you off the hook this time." Without a haste she quickly got up.

"I AM TIMING YOU THIS TIME SO GET GET YOUR ASS OFF THAT COUCH AND GET READY!!"She yelled as she hurriedly ran to her bedroom.

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT AHAHA. JUST GIVE ME 30 MINUTES!!" I said as I speed walked to the bathroom to do my makeup.
