Chapter 4. Upstairs, Downstairs

"What?!" The man with a dirty moustache was very bad-tempered.

"You're disturbing us! Please lower the volume, or else we will lodge a complaint!" Deafening screaming sounds came from inside once he opened the door.

The painter brushed his messy hair. He looked incredibly small in front of the "background music".

"I'm sorry! Please don't complain about me! I need to pass up a drawing tomorrow, but I still don't have any inspiration now!"

"What kind of drawing requires you to listen to this sound?"

"'Despair'. I need inspiration from screams of despair! Some inspiration is already coming to me, I'll turn it off soon!"

Lisa let out a deep breath. Who said that artists were quiet?! They could kill when they went crazy!

"Can't you put on earphones?!" Jungkook wanted to grip his clothes and shake him. See if he could shake him back to normal!

"The earphones won't do, it does not have the ambience and could harm the ears!"

Then putting on the blaring music late at night won't harm his neighbors?!

"F*ck you, aren't you too shameless!" Jungkook was astonished.

"What's the use of burning the midnight oil tonight? It's not that you'll manage to draw it by tomorrow!" Lisa said with a firm voice.

"I've never seen such a bizarre person like you! Did you get kicked out from your old neighborhood?"

"Right, and I'm afraid you may get kicked out of our neighborhood too!"

"We will lodge a complaint about you!"

......

The two berated the painter continuously, until he turned it off and promised to not bother them anymore. Only then the two finally left.

The elderly couple looked at them leaving as they talked among themselves.

"Those two are quite united against outsiders!"

"Yeah, I think they won't last long with such personalities!"

"Hard to say! Some have similar personalities but still hang out very well!"

"Oh, they do look good together!"

"Yeah, both of them look dazzling!"

......

Humans have a strange habit, when they group up to fight against the same enemy, they'll view each other in a better light.

"It does feel good if the person you're shouting at is not me!"

Lisa rolled her eyes at him. A standard eye-roll.

"I feel good too if you're not fighting with me!"

Lisa laughed, "Let's exchange weixin1?"

Lisa was about to reject him, but then she noticed that he was tall around 190cm. Although he looked like a girl, he had a good-looking face! She grinned lightly and nodded, agreeing to exchange weixin.

"Men shouldn't be too petty. Just because I blocked your way last time, do you really have to take my little goldfish?" Lisa began talking about the little goldfish.

"Fuck! What nonsense is that?! That little goldfish is mine!"

He'd already given her the fish and yet she was still so shameless?!

"You've already returned it to me, doesn't that mean you've admitted that it's mine?"

"That's because you're making a huge fuss out of it! Not that it's something very important to me either, so I just let you have it!"
