I Hate Everything About You

━•✦•━•✦•━

“Are you sure? One hundred percent?” you asked, sitting in your desk chair with the phone to your ear. You had finished a six-hour stream a few minutes ago.

“Of course!” Yujin replied from the other end of the line. “I already made sure the staff got you a room at our hotel. You have no excuse!”

You sighed, rolling your chair back and turning it to face the wall. Helios was sleeping on top of the bookshelf where you had all your action figures, next to a Blood Raven Space Marine.

“Yujin-ah, I’m serious, I don’t want to have any problems when I arrive,” you said. “Are you sure you don’t want me to pay for a room myself?”

The reason for the argument was that she, Liz, and Rei had invited you to see their performance at the Golden Wave in Tokyo. The idea had of course been born from Yujin, and her insistence left you no choice but to accept. But it still wasn’t that easy; you had to sort out some logistics first, as always.

“No! Don’t even think about it, Ezio!” Yujin said, in a tone you knew was best not to refute. “Just trust me. Has a tragedy ever happened because of that?”

“A year ago you made Rei and I believe that your manager wouldn’t find out you were spending the night with me after the concert, guess who got told off the next day?”

“But that wasn’t my fault!” she protested. “I had no way of knowing!”

“But it happened. I just answered your question.”

Yujin snorted, and you smiled. Getting on her nerves was pretty easy and fun.

“Are you going to accept my offer or not?”

“I have no choice, I guess,” you sighed, and turned back to your computer to push your chair forward. “I’ll buy the ticket right now.”

You heard Yujin exhale in relief as you searched for the airline’s website.

“The hotel is the Hyatt Regency. I think we’ll get there around 2pm.”

“Okay,” you replied, scheduling the flight. “But I’ll go the day before.”

“Why?”

You sighed.

“I’d say it’s for shopping, but I spent way too much on my two trips to Italy in the past two months. I need to get back on my feet.”

“You went again?” Yujin asked. “I thought you already went to Rome in October with the NewJeans girls.”

“I mean, that was a one-night binge,” you finally bought the ticket and stood up, walking out of your office. “This, on the other hand, was a mini vacation.”

“Mini vacation? Where, with who?” she asked again, as you headed straight to the kitchen to grab a drink and some leftover poke you had left in the fridge.

“Woah,” you chuckled, going to sit at the dining table. “You sounded just like Nana. Scary.”

“Hey! I have a right to know!”

“Yeah yeah, I’ll tell you when I see you, it’s a long story.”

“Yeah, you better.”

“Hey, I gotta go,” you said, opening a can of Pepsi. “I’m going to eat and then I have a work meeting.”

“Okay! See you in a few days then?”

“If nothing weird happens, yeah.”

“Alright! Bye oppa!”

“Bye Yujinie.”

Yujin hung up, and as you ate your poke you checked your text messages. You had from Sohyun and from Hanni
