IT HAD BEEN A WEEK since Junseo’s roommate moved out and it only took about four hours before he fully understood the freedom that being a single resident could bring. Each day he did something a little more liberating that by the time Day 7 came around, he for example, tried turning his apartment into a nightclub by blasting every rap song he knew and cocktailing different drinks in his underwear without any protest, judgment, or inquiry.
Rich Chigga’s collaboration with Keith Ape and X on Gospel garishly streamed from Junseo’s laptop, its beat going hard without remorse for anyone’s eardrums. Junseo leaned against the counter, cigarette planted firmly between his lips as he brought the lighter to the end of it. After taking a long drag, he blew out the smoke and bobbed his head to the bars, hands going up as he went to the cabinet to make the fourth drink of the hour. He stuck the cigarette in his mouth as he looked through the pantry for a bottle of Stoli. Upon realizing he hadn’t replenished his stash, he settled for Ketel One instead and made himself a Screwdriver. Ash fell onto his shirt as he did so and before becoming perturbed, he sat the cigarette on the ashtray and pulled his white tee off to throw into the accumulating pile of laundry in the bin.
Sure, when Hyesu lived there, he could be in his boxers with her around, but she wouldn’t particularly like it. Living alone gives him the kind of liberties and irresponsible habits that a twenty-four year-old can have. And sometimes those habits affect others in the apartment building.
Another sunlit day has glistened through the windows of Miyeong's place, the irradiation that brightened up the room soon focused on the female in the middle of the foreroom. As Claude Debussy's solo piano piece, "Rêverie", plays serenely in the background, she places a foot on top of the lilac colored yoga mat before sliding her front foot forwards and the other one branching out backwards. Stretching was always part of her daily routine and a must thing to do before she heads off to do errands.
Lissome intervals ascending to tuck a few stray strands of her chocolate tresses behind the fold of her ear as she switches positions into the Adho mukha śvānāsana stance. She furrowed her brow at the unpleasant music blaring through the neighbor's speakers from the floor below, making the little two month puppy skitter across the living room and into the female's room. How can someone be so... pestiferous? She has never met her neighbors personally, but always greeted them with a quick "hello" since they did live in the same building and to show some courtesy of course. There is one homebody that caught her eye in particular. The fair-haired male that she encountered in the mailroom. His appearance screams attractive in that little head of hers, yet she would shake her head to abandon such preposterous notion. With a subaqueous sigh escaping her lips, she puts on a sweater to cover up her upper-half, making her way towards the door with her keys. "푸딩! I'll be right back!"
Making her way towards the second floor, her dainty finger counting down the doors to find which one was right under hers. It wasn't arduously to find where the music was coming from. She brings her fist up to the door in front of her, knocking on it rather loudly since she doubts he would be able to hear these soft little knocks. Her knocking turned into banging real quick, waiting for the so-called person to open the door and turn it down. "CAN YOU AT LEAST... TURN IT DOWN? I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT--" The door suddenly swung open to reveal the face of the person with the atrocious taste in music. Blondie?
