"I said I don't hate anyone." She shouted at him. Then her eyes widened again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." she bowed repeatedly. Was she tame or wild? Chihun could not figure her out. Doona began to walk, and Chihun followed quietly behind her, till a thought crept into his mind.
"Are you scared of men?" Right as he spoke those words, Doona froze. Chihun turned to see why Doona was not moving. She just stood still, her hands began to fidget, and she rubbed them fiercely. "I'm sorry. Did I say something wrong?" Chihun tried to walk up to her, but Doona yelled back shrilly.
"Stay back. I'm...I'm fine."
---
Chihun stepped back after hearing her scream at him. What a mess, he thought. This is why he hated getting involved with people. "Fine, fine." He held his hands up, to prove to her that he was no threat, and he only started walking when he made sure she was a good distance away from him. When they arrived at their apartment building, he pointed towards the stairs. "I'll use the stairs you take the elevator, I'll meet you on the third floor," Chihun told Doona, who nodded and silently walked away towards the elevator.
"What's his deal..." Doona angrily muttered to herself. "Did he have to throw it in my face like that..." She stabbed the 3rd-floor button. "Yes, I'm scared of men. It's not like I want to be, My life would be easier if I wasn't." Doona folded her arms and puffed out her cheeks. All of this is Sochun's fault, I hope he burns in hell, Doona thought. The elevator door slid open, and Doona stepped out, surprised to see Chihun was already waiting for her. "...fast" she muttered.
"It's nothing compared to the disappearing act you pulled this afternoon," Chihun responded, and Doona let out a chuckle. Chihun stopped to gawk at Doona as she tried to stifle her smirk back to the usual grossed-out expression. This woman was a puzzle, he thought.
"You can wait here… I'll bring your suitcase out." Chihun held his palm out to Doona who was already 2 feet apart from him. Well at least she had no interest in entering his apartment, that would be a first. Chihun shut the door behind him and raced to the closest to pull out the luggage. He had never brought a girl back to his apartment before… well technically to his apartment door before. Chihun looked around the room, posters of Mijin hung on every wall, some pictures of other idols were stuck on the walls too. "Ugh! It was an obsession at this point. It's kind of embarrassing that I have all of these," he sighed.
Women in the past had tried to find out where Chihun lived, but he had been very careful in eluding them. Look at him now, willingly bringing along someone to his apartment door. Well, she did not seem to have any interest in him. She hated men or was scared of them... this was a good thing thought Chihun because he knew she had no potential of being another one of his stalkers.
"Here you go." His long hands stretched out the suitcase to Doona, who was uncomfortable taking it directly from him. Chihun let go of the handle, and immediately Doona, with a quickness snatched up the suitcase, and just as quickly as she disappeared up the stairs earlier that day, she vanished from his sight.
"What is she? An Olympic sprinter?" Chihun laughed to himself. "And what's with her hair cut?" He closed the door behind him and jumped on his bed. He ignored the pestering text messages from his curly-haired friend Namsun, Chihun hastily opened the Voptube app to watch Minji's rehearsal. This does not even begin to do her beauty justice, he thought to himself. "I shouldn't have bothered with that woman." He groaned.
***
Doona was so happy to have her suitcase back. She practically ripped the zips off and squeezed her laptop tightly. Then she hopped on her bed and flipped the device open. Doona began to type… www.Rebbit.com
Doona then logged into her account, and already she had a flurry of new messages, tags and requests piled up in her inbox. What to type? What to type? She thought to herself. "I should probably start with a post."
¶ Romance_Quest_Sheriff4456:

(。・ω・。)ノ♡ {image from pinterest} ♡-(๑˙ー˙๑)-♡
Doona collapsed on her back and stared at her ceiling. "Settled in my ass." She turned on her side to let her tiredness, frustration and exhaustion rock her to sleep.
***
"You have to be the saddest moron I have ever dated." Minji was at the door when Sochun returned from his family reunion. "You had one job. I was so embarrassed." Minji paced around his living room, livid.
"I'm sorry? You were the one that tossed the flowers on the ground. Remember?" He walked past her and pulled the fridge open. He needed a drink, but Minji slammed it shut. Here we go again, he thought.
"I'm talking to you. You were supposed to make it up to me, not fly off to who knows where." She leaned against the fridge door. Fine! I will just drink water, Sochun shrugged his shoulders as he wandered towards the sink. He picked up a glass cup only for Minji to pick it up and toss it at the wall behind him.
"I'm speaking to you." She yelled and poked his chest. "This is the last time I put up with your infidelity, your daddy-issues and your all-around devil-may-cry attitude. If I say something is important, it bloody is." Minji pushed past Sochun and walked into the bedroom. Sochun groggily walked towards the couch, making sure he stepped over the shattered glass cup. He then collapsed on the couch, face-down, and listened to Minji swear like a sailor as she packed up her things and probably flung his stuff out the window. The last time they fought, she lit his jackets on fire and tossed them at his neighbours, she might as well burn the apartment to the ground with him still in it.
"I'm not coming back this time, you ungrateful shitty man." She tossed her duffel bag at him. Her long hair was now pulled into a high-ponytail so you could see her slender neck. Sochun laid there wondering what she tasted like...
"Wanna have sex?" He grinned at her, but Minji's eyes widened, and her pupils shrunk into crazy-tiny-dots, so he knew it was best to head for the door immediately. Sochun jumped off the couch just as Minji pounced on it, he hopped over the shattered glass cup, but Minji was not as lucky. She hissed and held onto her foot, little drops of blood dripping on the tiles, and the carpet. "You alright Minmin?" Sochun cooed lovingly from the door. He peeked his head to see if she was alright.
"I hate you, stupid face asshole. I hope you catch an STD and die." She hissed and tossed a pillow at him.
"What would your fans think if they saw their number one idol, swearing like an old trucker." Sochun stepped back into the apartment and shut the door behind him.
"You had one job. I was so embarrassed, cheating dick-faced bastard. Arms around some ugly skank." Sochun sat beside Minji, who was tearing up. If she wasn't so cute, he would have pushed her in front of a train, for a quarter of the shit she had put him through.
"You're lucky you're this gorgeous." He got off the couch and pulled out the first-aid kit from the cupboard. "Now let me see those toes?" Minji huffed and looked away from Sochun, as he counted her toes. "I think one is missing?" Sochun gasped.
"Crap really?" Minji looked at her feet… "asshole." She playfully fisted his hair and shook his head. "Patch me up, and pray this wound heals before the actual talent show."
"Yes, yes my beautiful, pretty, talented Minmin." Sochun beamed at Minji, who tossed another pillow in his face.
"You're lucky you're this gorgeous." He got off the couch and pulled out the first-aid kit from the cupboard. "Now let me see those toes?"

She playfully fisted his hair and shook his head. "Patch me up, and pray this wound heals before the actual talent show.""Yes, yes my beautiful, pretty, talented Minmin." Sochun beamed at Minji, who tossed another pillow in his face.---Doona laid in her bed. The morning sun pierced her clenched eyes and made her turn away from the window. "I should have put up my curtains before going to sleep." Just as she buried her face in her pillow, the second alarm began to ring loudly. "Fine, fine. I'm up." She searched for her phone to turn off the blasted alarm. She had a psychology class she was already running thir
"Are they going to fight?" "Jiwoon started it..." "I thought Chihun sat at the front of the class, why is he at the back?" The class was suddenly filled with murmurs and whispers, everyone had stopped packing up to stare at the two of them."What is happening back there?" The professor slammed the board."Nothing professor. Just packing up." Chihun smiled at the man before he picked up Doona's bag and walked out of the classroom, leaving a fuming Jiwoon behind.---In a hurry to get out of her Psych class–and away from Jiwoon–Doona had foolishly forgotten her bag, books and even her phone. Now she was lost and turning her head around in circles. Being this exposed was dangerous, Doona could not risk bumping into Sochun again, she would really be dead. Maybe I should hide in the toilet, she thought as she looked around every corner before scurrying into the lady's room. Doona met an unexpected face.
"I what?" He glared at the ungrateful woman. "You were walking into a door." He sighed at her. Was she an idiot?"You were pushing me, you kept coming closer." She hissed back. "Don't come close to me anymore." Doona stuttered as she turned around then dashed away from Chihun."Am I some sort of glutton for humiliation?" Chihun sighed. "First, she calls me a thief, then all this..." He rubbed the back of his head, and as he turned to walk into the cafeteria, he heard a loud Yip!"If it isn't the little rabbit!"---Sochun stopped Doona dead in her tracks. He was accompanied by Jiwoon and two other men. "Lucky me, we meet again, rabbit." He walked up to her and stood at her front."I've seen you before..." Jiwoon rested his elbow on Sochun's shoulder. And they laughed when Sochun pushed Jiwoon off him. "Oh! I remember..." Jiwoon exclaimed."Where?" Sochun elbowed Jiwoon. Doona wanted to evap
"Are you stupid? For your sake, I hope your whore of a mother is sleeping with my dad because that's the only way you get out of this alive." He launched at her, Doona shut her eyes tightly and lifted her arms to protect herself from what always happened when Sochun got angry at her. The crowd gasped again, and Doona stood bewildered. She was patiently awaiting the worst, but nothing had happened to her yet. She slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see Sochun's fists floating inches from her face, frozen still."Don't you get bored of acting like an animal?" Chihun was gripping Sochun's wrist, and as Sochun struggled to move, he squeezed harder. Sochun scoffed, ignoring the stinging feeling of her hands going numb. This should be entertaining, he thought.---"What's your deal with this pathetic bitch?" Sochun pulled his wrist out of Chihun's cement-like grip like it was nothing. He then stepped closer to Chihu
"I'm never coming back here," she muttered to herself. When the server dropped their meals, Doona got up briskly. She slammed some cash on the table, turned to a startled Chihun and yelled, "This should cover everything, keep the change and please forget about today." She stammered, then Doona picked up her bag and sprinted towards the exit.The server turned to Chihun and smiled, "Is she coming back? or should I pack it up for her?" She smiled, a little bewildered.Chihun did not even look up from his book when he responded. "No. Just throw it in the trash."---The server picked up the plate of food and walked back to the kitchen. Chihun let out a sigh of irritation. "She's the one that said, let me buy you lunch." Chihun scoffed. "But she just up and bolted". He looked over at the money she dropped carelessly on the table and huffed because she had even dropped triple the necessary amount. Chihun wondered if
"What's her name again, the idol he likes..." Mrs. Pom asked. "Isn't it the idol with the red hair?" Mrs. Rang tapped her chin. "Min something..." Mrs. Hwangbo scratched her head. The three women went around in circles as they tried to figure out her name. Chihun, on the other hand, had no interest in clearing up their confusion because the conversation would never end."So is that Min-person why you were late?" Mrs. Pom snickered with a grin on her face.Luckily for Chihun, they had finally arrived at his destination. So he turned and responded to the three women that giddily stood awaiting his answer and said. "It was nice catching up with my favourite girls, now I have to get Mrs. Chup her medication."---After moaning and groaning Mrs. Pom, Mrs. Hwangbo, and Mrs. Rang finally left. Chihun opened the door and stepped into Mrs. Chup's room. She was sitting by her window like always, with a book in her hand.
¶ Romance_Quest_Sheriff4456:Hi Guys!Today I will be addressing one of the cliches that have plagued the romance world for way too long. The bullying trope; where a boy bullies a girl because he has a crush on her (vice versa). ♡^▽^♡THIS. IS. FALSE. (ᗒᗩᗕ) 🙅♀️I don't understand why we assume that if a guy bullies you, it means that he has a crush on you.It's such a terrible mindset because:• It tells the girl that being in an abusive relationship is normal because surely he must like her. (Vice versa for guys)• How can a bully be someone anyone would want to be around, much less date.• It's simply a glorification and romanticization of abuse. (Ugh, yuck!) 🤮So let's rise above this trope (♯▼皿▼)Say no to bullies (ʘдʘ╬)If you
"Wanna go to a different club?" He winked at her. "I can take you to one with all the celebrities." He placed his hand on her back and began to walk her out of the bar."I don't want to see other celebrities. You said we would have fun." Minji pouted, shaking Sochun's arms off her."Then fun we shall have." He leaned in for a kiss."You're still in the dog-house. Remember?" Minji grabbed his puckered lips and shoved his face away.---Doona was thankfully Sochun free for two weeks, but that sadly was because she stopped going to school.Yay!Not, yay! She slapped her cheek. "How will I overcome my fear of men if I stay locked in my room?" She groaned. Knowing she still had to go out and buy some provisions for her apartment, she hopped off her bed. Doona grabbed her coin purse and threw her tote bag over her shoulder. I should accessorize, so no one knows who I am, she thought. Because not only was she
"I was still hungry. So I'll order a late-night snack." Doona smiled shyly. She didn't want to admit that she was just a fat ass. "What about the email thing you wanted to do?" Doona got up to stare at an infuriated Chihun. "After we transform this dump into an apartment." He walked over to grab a trash bag. "You said it wasn't that bad." Doona cried out in embarrassment. "If you are Shrek, then it should fit you just right." Chihun chuckled dryly as he walked over to the oven. He looked carefully at it and assumed she must have hidden more boxes in there, so he reached to pull down the handle. --- Doona spotted Chihun at the oven, her eyes widened in horror, and she screamed. "Don't ope
"Really? Will you help me? Awesome!" Doona took a swig of her leftover champagne and rose to her feet. "Let me grab my laptop from my apartment. I'll be down soon." Doona strutted to the door, and Chihun called out to her."Maybe I should follow you." Doona turned around to see Chihun gracefully getting up from the table. His tight shirt stretched and contracted against his muscled skin; he picked up his hoodie and tossed it on, then he ran his slender fingers through his hair and began to walk towards Doona. The closer he got to her, the more her breath hitched."N-no you can't come!" Doona swung the door open quickly and ran towards the elevator. Chihun stared at her racing away from him, and the sides of his lips curled up.---Chihun used the stairs
"We were beating around the bush?" Sochun laid back on the couch and kicked his legs on the rest while crossing his hands behind his head."How's your sex life?" Dr. Mo dipped her pen in ink once again and positioned it above her notebook."Fantastic. On Monday, this model and I did it at the movies-" Sochun began speaking, but Dr. Mo let out a cough that cut him off."With Song Minji. Your girlfriend?" Dr. Mo added, and Sochun's expression twisted.---Chihun stared across his dining table to look at Doona struggling to open the champagne. She retorted to bitting the cork with her teeth like an animal. Chihun let out a sigh, and a yawn escaped. "Was this necessary?" He folded his arms on his broad chest."I've almost opened it." Doona huffed as she pulled on the cork on the bottle, but her hands kept slipping. "Just give me a second." She continued to bite at it. She looked back at Chihun, who wa
"I said yes, I want to contribute. Geez!" Doona yelled at Chihun before he could complete his sentence. Then she let out a huff and started stomping off. "For someone who is really smart, you can't even read body language..." Doona continued to shout as she stormed off. "Wear your glasses and stop pestering me." She got to an intersection and stopped, but she continued to tap her feet furiously. Chihun was initially surprised by her outburst, but he let out a chuckle at how frustrated she got.You shouldn't hold back with me, Chihun thought. "Just complain like this." He muttered with a quiet smile, then walked to meet Doona, who was now crossing the street with a giant frown on her small face.---"How is the relationship between you and your partner?" Dr. Mo spoke to Paek Sochun as he fiddled with her faux plants on her window sill. Sochun turned around to look at her, raised his shoulders, and walked back to the co
Doona let out a loud laugh, and Miri stared at her, confused, "I'm sorry, you just said something funny." Doona giggled, and her frame shook while Miri continued to stare at her perplexed. "I don't think Chihun cares much for all people. He's cold to everyone." Doona continued to laugh and walked past Miri.Miri clasped her fingers around one of her pigtails, and she squeezed it. "How can you say that when he was looking at you like that?" Miri muttered to herself. Then she turned around to show Doona to the check-outstation.---That was a disaster, Doona kept fumbling the checkout machine, and not to mention every time a male customer approached her, she would flee for her life. For a practice shift, Doona took fifteen minute breaks for every thirty minutes of work; her only saving grace was that Miri had to do inventory and was barely paying attention to her messing up. Doona pushed the changing room door open and
"We are a popular grocery store and one in many chains of the same parent company, so there is barely any bureaucracy on this level, to be honest." Miri tapped her chin, and when they arrived at their destination, she pushed the door of the changing room open. "This is the woman's changing room. The one over there is for the men." Doona nodded in agreement. Miri handed Doona a vest and store shirt. Doona collected the articles of clothing from Miri and walked into the room, but before she could change her shirt, she stopped and turned around to face Miri. "Miri. How many men work here?" Miri paused to think and responded. "Fifteen currently." Doona gulped, and Miri turned to close the door behind her; she cocked her head and muttered. "What a weird question." --- Doona was excited about working at the cashier, but it had slipped her mind that her customers would both be men and women. When she stepped out
Doona tried to calm herself down, she had to get back into a headspace of safety, and serenity like her therapist told her to do every time she felt out of control. Doona then smacked her cheeks softly. She strutted past Chihun towards the grocery store and stood in front of the giant sliding doors. She could not fall back into that dark hole, where her mind ran rampant, and she feared everything; she had an important interview, and even though Chihun was a capital A-Asshole, he had helped her with her resume. Doona stepped closer to the doors, and they slid open. "Doona!" Chihun called out to her, and Doona turned to look at him. A warm smile spread on Chihun's face as he said to her, "you look fine." His smile made Doona brandish a peace sign and a large smile too. Holding the resume papers in her hands she walked into the store courageously. --- Doona and Chihun walked into the sore a few feet apart from one a
"Wait! Now?" She hurried to pack while her mind raced around batting questions left and right. She wondered what she would say during her interview. Was she even dressed appropriately for this impromptu meeting?"Yes now. Hurry up and get out, I need to turn everything off." Chihun swung his bag over his broad shoulders and wore back on his denim jacket. Doona hurried to zip her bag and rushed out the door. Chihun looked at where Doona was seated earlier, and he let out a sigh. "She left her pencil case." He reached down to pick it up and paused when he noticed there was a sticker of a woman's face on it. He slowly picked up the case in his hands, and after he observed the case, he sighed again. "So she's Minji's fan."---Knock! Knock! Knock!A stylish woman, holding a drink in a Steuben glass, looks up from her laptop. Her desk is dotted with folders and papers with profile images clipped to each corner. She
"Why do you have a section in your resume called background history?" He tapped on the table, and Doona sat back down. She was beginning to think that Chihun, for a lack of better words, freaking despised her resume.Doona responded shyly, "I thought that the hiring manager would-" but she was cut off again by Chihun, who selected everything in the word document. Doona's eyes widened when she realized what he was going to do. "Wait!" She yelled at him. Before emailing him her resume, he told her to delete all the copies on her laptop, she thought it was to avoid having copies of the same file, this was his plan all along."Delete." Chihun let out a breath of relief, and Doona's eyes widened at the horror.---"How could you do that, after you made me delete all my backups," Doona yelled so loud, the unknowing people that passed outside their study room flinched. Chihun did not pay any attention to her squeals &
