As I found solace in scrolling through my phone in the comfort of my room, a sudden knock on the door disrupted the tranquility. "Coming!" I called out, maintaining my focus on the phone. The door slowly opened, and there she was...
This cheeky pussy cat.
"What are you doing here!?" I exclaimed, setting aside my phone and walking toward Haerin, who sported a mischievous smirk.
"Oh, I was here for a romantic—oops, I meant something important," she replied, prompting a sigh from me. "What is it?" I inquired, eyeing her with suspicion. Instead of giving a straightforward answer, she casually claimed a seat in my chair.
"Your mom and mine are out shopping," she disclosed, raising my eyebrows in response. "So?" I questioned. Haerin gazed at me intently.
"Your mom suggested that you take care of me since I'll be all alone at home. She even recommended that you hang out with me," she explained.
I couldn't help but scoff at the idea. "This old woman..." I mumbled, feeling a twinge of annoyance. "No, I reject it! You have other friends to hang out with in the neighborhood, so get out of my room before I decide to kick you out!" I declared.
"I'd love to spend time with my friends, but I can't say no to aunty Kim. So, hang out with me!" Haerin insisted as I rolled my eyes.
"No, I don't want to hang out with you! I don't even want to be in your presence!" I retorted, making my way out of the room.
Heading to the living room, I casually sprawled onto the couch and switched on the TV. Haerin commented as she strolled in and took a seat beside me.
"Can you just please be quiet?" I grumbled. "You should try learning that first," she replied with a chuckle.
"Look, just shut up!" I snapped, to which she chuckled again, saying, "I can't help it. I love getting on your nerves."
"This bothersome cat... I might just kick you out of the house!" I threatened, shaking my head at her persistent antics.

"Kang Haerin, spill the tea! Are those rumors about you and Y/n true?" Hyein questioned, eyeing me curiously.
I rolled my eyes in response. "Ask Y/n; I'm just savoring my ice cream here."
"But seriously, Hae, are you really dating Y/n? I thought you couldn't stand them," Dani unnie chimed in, a puzzled expression on her face. I looked at her, taking another indulgent bite of my ice cream.
"Yeah, I can't stand them. Nothing's changed on that front," I stated nonchalantly.
"And now you're an item?" Hyein probed further, raising an eyebrow.
"Did I miss a memo or something? When did I say that!?" I shot back, casting a glance at her.
"So, are the rumors just gossip, or is there some truth to them?" Dani unnie sought clarification.
I maintained my laid-back demeanor.
"No clue. Ask Y/n. I'm not the keeper of their relationship status," I responded, eliciting sighs from both Dani and Hyein.
"Why not just clear it up then?" Hyein urged, giving me a pointed look.
"Because I couldn't care less about rumors, and honestly, who would willingly date Kim Y/n?" I scoffed under my breath, gesturing towards myself as they jokingly pointed back at me.
"Bitches," I mumbled as I finished my ice cream.
After parting ways with them, I strolled back home. Amid my walk, I heard a familiar voice calling my name – Woonhak.
Taking a deep breath, I turned to find him jogging towards me. "Hey," I greeted casually as he caught up, motioning for us to continue walking.
"Hi, how's life treating you?" Woonhak asked, falling into step beside me.
"Surviving," I replied with a casual glance around.
"And what's the deal with you and Y/n? You guys look like you're on good terms," he remarked with a grin. I rolled my eyes.
"Just ask Y/n–no, no need. We're fine, thank you," I replied, maintaining a poker face.
He chuckled, "Great to hear. By the way, where's Y/n? Couldn't find them at home, and they're not responding to my messages."
Why does this guy always inquire about Y/n?
"Y/n?...They caught up with... our wedding plans... Haha...''...'' gotta run now... See you!" I said, turning away and leaving Woonhak behind, scratching his head in confusion.

"Hello, Aunty Kang, I hope you're doing well. My mom ran out of sugar, and she was wondering if we could borrow some," I said with a smile, glancing at Mrs. Kang, who was holding a slipper.
"Uh, Y/n, sure, come inside, haha!" she replied, gesturing for me to follow her. Even after we entered, she held onto the slipper, leaving me intrigued.
"Come on in! Haha, I was just giving my daughter a little playful punishment," she shared with a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"Punishment?" I questioned, half-amused, as we headed into the living room, where a familiar figure caught my eye.
There stood Kang Haerin, hands cupping her ears in an amusing display of reprimand.
I couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
"What brings you here?!" Haerin exclaimed upon noticing me, prompting my laughter to subside.
"Oh, I just dropped by to see... Aunty Kang, haha," I responded, knowing it would get an eye roll from Haerin.
"But why are you in this peculiar stance too? Is this part of the punishment Aunty Kang mentioned?" I teased, earning another eye roll from Haerin and a renewed burst of laughter from me.
Suddenly, Mrs. Kang joined us.
"Here you go, Y/n," she said, handing me the sugar jar. "Thanks, Aunty! By the way, why is Haerin in this position?" I inquired, glancing at Haerin, still holding her ears.
Mrs. Kang chuckled, "She's receiving a little punishment for failing her chemistry test again! How about you do stand up and down 100 times, Haerin?" she suggested, prompting Haerin to reluctantly start the exercise.
Suppressing my laughter, I remarked, "Impressive! This pussy cat is truly becoming the epitome of laziness," drawing a nod of agreement from Mrs. Kang.
"Well, I should get going! Goodbye, Aunty Kang!" I bid my farewell with a bow. Haerin ceased her exercises and turned to her mother.
"Hey, why did you stop!?" Mrs. Kang scolded Haerin, who responded with a smirk and a glance in my direction.
"Mom, how about arranging a tutor for me? I promise I'll perform better next time," she suggested.
"But how will we find a tutor on such short notice?" Mrs. Kang inquired.
"Haha, how about Y/n becomes my tutor? They're an excellent student! A top student!" Haerin proposed, causing my eyes to widen.
"What in the... this cat!" I thought.
"Y/n?" Mrs. Kang turned to me. "Would you mind tutoring my daughter? Midterms are just around the corner," she requested. Considering the proposition, I glanced at Haerin, who wore a sly smirk.
"Uh... okay."
