Don't forget to vote with power stones ;)
-------------------------
At my front door.
Something feels off already.
The loser's special skill: senses sharpen when a delinquent's nearby...
*Hng...*
Sounds like the TV's on inside...
And that annoying laugh watching it—sounds like Yoo In-ha.
No way, right? Tell me it's not true, fuck.
*Beep beep beep.*
My peaceful home...
I punch in the code, and the door lock clicks open with a *beep*.
Get out of my house, you bastards!
*Clunk.*
Huh?
Why won't the door open?
*Whirr.* The lock engages again with a clunk.
Did they lock it from inside? No way, fuck. I'm the homeowner! I'm the fucking homeowner!
"Huh? What's that?"
An "Eek" sound from inside.
What "Eek," fuck! I'm the homeowner!
*Ding dong.*
My blood pressure... it's spiking.
I grit my teeth and press the doorbell.
Am I really ringing my own doorbell? When's the last time I did this?
"Who is it?"
A wary voice from behind the door.
Yoo In-ha... it's Yoo In-ha.
Why're you here? Why the fuck are you here?!
"The homeowner..."
Brief silence.
Then a *Heehee* laugh.
"Yo, Joonhyung. Nice place? I'll make good use of it."
"Open the door! Open it!"
"No way, new homeowner. Get lost."
You fucker...!
I scream at the door, then hear a *click*.
They unlocked it. I frantically punch the code and yank the door open. Give me my house back!
*Creak.*
Two pairs of shoes at the entrance.
The entrance, always empty, now has two pairs...
No need to guess who. It's Juha and Yoo In-ha, obviously.
"Hnnghh..."
How'd they crack the password? These bastards...
Kicking off my shoes, I step in and see Yoo In-ha's head, giggling at the TV.
...Wanna smack her head. What if I did? Would I die? Nah, I've been working out—could I take her now?
She glances back, grinning slyly.
"Yo, you're back."
I'm the homeowner, I should be saying that.
Trembling, I glare at the pile of snacks on the shelf.
You ate a ton, didn't you...
*Whoosh.*
What's that sound?
I look toward the bathroom—shower running.
"Juha's showering."
"..."
This is your house now, huh?
Tell me it's a nightmare. A dream, fuck.
"Joonhyung, nice place, huh?"
Grr... Grrr!
Yoo In-ha's smug giggle... wanna yank her hair hard.
"Your parents are on a trip, right?
Should've told us right away, dude."
Chills just ran down my spine.
If they found out in high school, what would've happened?
My place would've been a delinquent hangout—Juha, Yoo In-ha, Juri, and random other girls...
Boozing, partying, fucking chills.
"What're you doing? Sit, sit. Make yourself at home."
You're having a blast, huh?
Her cockiness makes me wanna swing. Fuck...!
"Ugh."
Think positive, think positive...
I give up and drop my bag on the floor.
Already smells like Juha and Yoo In-ha's shampoo...
"So nice. So spacious, so nice."
"Hng..."
All I can do is clench my fists...
Telling them to leave won't work. They'll never leave.
If I try, their contrarian streak will keep them here forever.
Act normal, then change the password when they're gone.
Change it when no one's around...!
"Yo, got beer. Grab some."
"..."
You grab it!
But I hold it in. I'll play along for now.
Trembling, I shuffle to the fridge and open it.
"...Fuck."
What's all this?
Why's it stuffed with booze?
Soju, beer, highballs, cans, bottles... what the fuck are you doing!
"I want Terra and Crush."
"Grrr..."
My fridge... my fridge!
Why's there soju in the freezer?
"Hah..."
This is a dream...
I grab two beer cans and shuffle back.
*Pop.* I set them down, and Yoo In-ha cracks a Terra, giggling *Mheehee*.
Happiest I've seen her lately. Wanna ram two Ferraris into her. No, ten Porsches!
"Ugh."
Do whatever you want.
I'll fix it when you're gone...
But how'd they get in? Too scared to ask.
"Yo, Joonhyung."
"What..."
"Run the microwave. Got dumplings."
Argh, fuck! Can't take it anymore! Time to reset—
"But you live with your parents, right?"
Huh?
What's that about?
I freeze, and Yoo In-ha smirks creepily.
"No parents' stuff around."
"They, uh, live simply."
This bitch.
Usually dumb as fuck, but sharp when it's about my weaknesses. Why only then?!
"No blankets, no clothes, no toothbrushes."
"..."
My neck's chilling.
Makes sense it's suspicious, but I didn't expect them to barge in, so I wasn't prepared.
What do I do...
Yoo In-ha raises an eyebrow.
"This is your place, huh? You don't live with them."
N-No.
Not true! My throat locks up. Why can't I speak?
"They, uh, took everything on their trip. Yeah."
"They took shoes, blankets, beds, winter clothes too?"
Come back to being dumb, please.
Stop being smart just to mess with me...
"This guy's living large. Already got a house."
Not quite, but...
So what if it's mine? What're you gonna do?
"Yo, should've told us you had a place."
"Hnnghh..."
"Could've saved on rent, huh? Joonhyung."
Why save on rent?
You're not planning to live here, are you?
Grr... headache's coming.
Hnnghh...
Must've sinned big in a past life...
Probably was a loser for delinquents, getting payback now...
"Haven't told Juha yet."
You're gonna tell her, fuck.
Two or three living here, same difference...
Yoo In-ha rests her elbow on my shoulder, laughing.
"Clear out the storage room. Got it?"
"Hnnghh..."
"I'll be here a lot."
Live at Juha's place! Stay there!
---
"What to eat?"
"Pizza sounds good."
"Pizza's fine."
Where am I? Who am I?
I'm losing it.
This bustling living room feels unreal.
Used to feel too quiet, depressing alone... what a spoiled thought.
That was paradise, fuck.
"Pizza's good, right, Joonhyung?"
"Yeah..."
Food won't taste like anything, so whatever...
Should I be grateful they're paying?
"Yo, let's have two more beers."
"Uh-huh."
Juha strides to the fridge.
My t-shirt, my shorts... when'd she grab those?
*Gush.*
Like slime, I'm melting to the floor.
Kill me... kill me. An hour feels like a year.
*"Military's a man's badge!"*
*"They say you look five times hotter after!"*
Stop bullshitting, fuck...
Even the TV's nonsense. I'm gonna die of hypertension...
"Yo, when you going to the military?"
"Me?"
After freshman year.
Wait, fuck. If I go, what happens to my house?
Sell it? Fucking terrifying...
"After freshman year."
"After freshman year?"
Yoo In-ha, watching TV, pauses to think.
June, July, August... November, December.
Counting months, she stops.
"December? You're going in December?"
"Not sure, maybe around then..."
December feels soon.
Maybe February or March, not sure.
But seniors said go early.
"December... December."
Muttering dates, Yoo In-ha's jaw drops.
"Wait, fuck.
If you go, what about the money?"
"W-What money?"
Her face turns grim.
"If you're in the military, how do we film?
December's soon, fuck!"
"Just figure it out..."
"You wanna die, fucker?!"
Pay it back yourself! I'll just work part-time then!
"Go after sophomore year! You can go then!"
"Gotta go after freshman year..."
"Stop bullshitting, fuck!"
I'm going after freshman year.
Your reaction proves it's the right call.
"What's this about?"
"He's going to the military after freshman year!"
"Oh..."
Military talk.
Juha nods, sitting down.
She already knew...
"Lots go after sophomore year!"
"I'm going after freshman year..."
"No way, you go after sophomore year."
Why're you deciding? How you gonna stop me?!
Yoo In-ha pulls up a calendar, counting days.
*Humm...* About 200 days left.
Need at least 30 videos, so one a week, starting now...
"One a week..."
Her eyes go dull.
Wow, one a week? Brutal. Probably impossible.
Juha mutters, impressed.
"Tight schedule."
Thinking about it, filming with Juha too...
What happens to me? My dick's gonna break. No, fuck, really?
"Or just get exempt. Easy, right?"
"Easy?"
Yoo In-ha squints at Juha's words.
How?
Juha grins slyly.
"Heard having two kids gets you exempt. Not 100%, but..."
"Two kids?"
Yoo In-ha tilts her head, confused.
"Two kids... what's that mean?"
Her face sinks as it hits her.
She's gonna kill someone, fuck.
"Fuck..."
Her expression's like she'd bite my dick off...
"Fuuuck..."
Shocked, she chugs her beer, like brainwashing herself.
Juha laughs brightly.
"Lucky twins, one shot, huh? Wow."
"Urk..."
Don't gag, that's too much...
"Or just film fast."
Yeah, filming fast's the only way.
But why don't they ask my opinion?
Yoo In-ha sighs, turning to the TV. Fine, let's drink...
[ World News Time:]
[Unbelievable, a prank of poking holes in condoms went viral on SNS.]
[ The video's been reported to police. Unused, but deemed excessive...]
...
News timing for real?
They both slowly turn to me.
Why me? I didn't poke holes!
"Wow, imagined it."
"Joonhyung, you crazy fucker."
What do you take me for, fuck?!
I'm the one getting chills!
