4.
I opened the door to my house as I angrily stomped in. Flinging my shoes off my feet, I threw my backpack on the floor as I went to the kitchen. I heard an unfamiliar voice along with Grandpa's from the kitchen which made me stop and reroute to where it came from.
I stepped into the living room to see Grandpa talking to a young man who sat right across him.
"Oh she is here. My granddaughter. Hoseok-ssi, meet Nana"
The man turned his heard towards me and stood up to bow. I did the same, not sure who this was. But he looked gorgeous and had the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.
"Nana, Hoseok-ssi will be occupying the spare room on the first floor. He is going to rent it"
A man? Grandpa gave the room to an unknown man? And that too such a handsome one? That was so unlike him. The day he asked me to put up the flyers, he insisted I mention that single men won't be allowed to rent. Why this sudden change of heart?
"Grandpa, um, can I have a word with you?"
"Can't it wait? Let me get this deal done with him"
"A word please Grandpa. NOW", I said through gritted teeth.
"It's okay, I will wait", Hoseok spoke. "Please don't mind me". Grandpa sighed and stood up as he followed me. "What is it kid?", he asked as soon as we were away.
"Grandpa you said we weren't going to give the room to men. How can you change what you said yourself?"
He chuckled. "Hoseok is a nice young man. He won't make trouble"
"How do you know that?", I asked crossing my arms. "He could be a psychopath for all we know. Maybe a serial killer that kills only old people"
"Hay Nana", Grandpa slapped my arms. "Don't say things like that. He isn't like that. I can judge people well. He is a sweet boy and he has transferred to your university"
"But still. What about me? What if I get uncomfortable?"
Uncomfortable because I might not be able to control my hormones near someone so handsome like this !?!?
"Stop wasting my time foolish girl, let me go know", he scolded me before walking out of there. I followed behind whining but he cut me off with a glare.
"So Hoseok-ssi, this deal is done. The room is yours", Grandpa handed him the keys while the younger man gave him a check. "This is advance rent for all 6 months"
"6 months?", I asked surprised.
"Oh yes, he is only staying for 6 months. Till your birthday Nana"
"Oh", well that was weird.
"So when can I move in?", Hoseok asked.
"Whenever you want to", Grandpa said. "I can move in today. I am currently staying at this hotel 3 blocks away. I will get my luggage"
"Oh Nana will help you. Take the car Nana and get his luggage". I shot Grandpa a 'why always me?' look to which he responded by narrowing his eyes and pushing me ahead.
"It's okay, I don't have much. I can get it myself"
"Oh it's nothing. Nana will help you. Why do you want to pain of walking here with all that luggage? Go on Nana, the keys are on the drawer beside my bed". I grunted as I dragged my legs towards his room. Grabbing the keys to the old car that I was hardly allowed to drive, I walked out.
Hoseok waited as he followed the girl to the car. They both got in and Nana began driving towards the hotel.
"There are a couple of hotels here, which one are you staying in?"
"Oh it's the Seven Seasons Delux".
Seven Season Delux? Damn. Rooms there costed almost $500 a night. Why did this man want to move into an old house like ours if he could afford to live in such an upscale hotel? I mean he could have easily rented a plush apartment near the university. We parked in front of the hotel and got out. I followed him as he walked in front of me.
"I am going to complete the check out procedure and collect my bags"
"Okay, I will wait here", I said and he smiled before walking towards the reception area.
I looked around the hotel, it was beautiful and expensive. It looked like it was straight of a movie set. Everywhere around were rich people or business associates meeting each other for lunch. I wondered if some day in life I would have the opportunity to visit this place too.
I removed my phone as I scrolled through instagram until I heard a familiar annoying voice.
"Am I seeing correct? Is the poor Nana really inside a five star hotel"
I looked up to see Nami and Jema, her best friend standing there as they looked at me. "Did you by any chance get lost and end up here? Are you sure you are not confusing this place with something? Like that cheap filthy restaurant your family owns"
My eyes widened as those words left her mouth before anger took over me. "Listen to me you bitch, if you dare to even say anything more about my family, I will punch you so hard, that face you fixed with Botox will go back to being how ugly it was"
Nami who had her arms crossed, let them down. Pissed, she stepped closer. "What the fuck did you say? How dare you"
"I said what you exactly heard. Now how about you and this bimbo here leave me alone?"
She was about to say something when Hoseok's voice cut me off. "Nana, I am done. Let's go". He stopped as he saw me and Nami glaring at each other. Seeing him Nami scoffed. "Never knew you could be such a slut"
"Excuse me", I said, not sure if I had heard her correctly.
"Now I know why you are at this hotel. Kang Nana is not so innocent after all, is she?", she said eying Hoseok up and down. "This is how you get money out of rich men?"
"LISTEN BITCH..", I stepped closer until Hoseok cut me off and walked to her. I saw his face, a cold killer gaze on it. Nami stepped back a little as she saw him approach.
"Miss, I don't care who you are but you will not talk to Nana like this again", he whispered only for Nami to hear. "Do you understand?", he growled lowly.
Nami kept staring at him, an unknown fear within him. "Do you fucking understand?", to which she nodded in panic.
I watched them interact, not sure what was happening. Nami was almost frozen under Hoseok's gaze before she whispered a silent "yes".
"Good", he hissed before turning to Nana. His cold face was replaced by a jolly one. "Let's go Nana-ssi, Grandpa must be waiting for us"
I nodded and removed my keys before walking with Hoseok. I didn't of course miss on the opportunity to turn back and flash her my middle finger before catching up with the male. I helped him put his bag in the car before getting in and driving home.
The car ride was pleasant. Much less awkward than the one before. We made small talk. Apparently Hoseok was a transfer to the dance program. His scholarship got accepted and he had the chance to move to Seoul for that. Other than that he was really curious about Nami so I told him about how big a bitch she was. When I asked him about what he said to her earlier, he just shrugged his shoulders and replied 'nothing, just asked her to keep her big fat tongue in check. Ain't no one slut shaming a girl in my presence' - to which I chuckled. We got home soon and Hoseok removed the bag as he followed me in.
"Now that you are here, Hoseok you must know about this bomb corn on the cob you get right outside the Building C...", I said to him as we made way inside.
I stopped as I saw Grandpa sitting with a man whose back was faced to us. Sensing us he stopped. "You guys are back early. Oh by the Nana look who it is"
I looked on puzzled as the man turned and my eyes widened. Who other than -
Kim Fucking Taehyung
