WOO-JIN

I am going to kill her.
She stole my freaking car!
One day I decided to sleep in a little late and she did the most outrageous thing ever.

Sshibal!

I call her up, and she finally picks up the phone on the third ring, "Where the hell are you?" I could hear her smiling like the little witch she was, "Good morning to you too." That damn taunt of hers. It was 6 PM.

I couldn't track her phone because she begged her brother to put her offline and that damn kid won't tell me where his sister is. I will kill them both I swear to god and then all my problems in life would be solved. Then I'll grow cabbages on the soil they're under. More kimchi!

With control on my voice, as level as I could keep it, "Daisy, where are you?" She chuckles, "You can't find me with your geek technology?" I grit my teeth, "You come back right now or I swear to god-"

"You'll what?"

"Just- Daisy, just come back. Now."

"Aren't you gonna ask me how my date was?"

"I don't give a damn about your date! And how the hell did you take the keys?"

"2-0-1-2. That's the combination for that little key-box, right?"

First, it was my credit card, and now this!

I take a deep breath in, calming myself down. Finding the level in my voice that could get through her thick head, "Are you done with your date?" I don't miss how her voice goes higher as if she's excited, "Yes! It was so good. He bought me a smoothie. Large. It was a smoothie date. Cute, right?!"

"Is he gone now?"

"Yes, I was a bit sad. He's so funny! He told this funny knock-knock joke that made me shoot my smoothie out. It was embarrassing but he was cool about it. Wanna hear the joke?"

"No. What are you doing now?"

"Getting in the car, duh!"

"Good. You come straight home. Got that?"

"What? No, I wanted to catch a movie first."

"Daisy!"

DAISY

He stood me up.

There was no knock-knock joke but I did treat myself to a large berry smoothie and a cupcake.
I could've gone home but I was not ready to face him. He knew when I was lying and his guesses were always correct.

Bitch.

I had a cheesecake in the bag for my late-night dessert craving as I made my way to the car. It felt really good to have a car even though I don't have a license. Bobby taught me.
It felt good to get on his nerves as if he kept repeating for me to come home. I laughed at him many times at how hard he tried to even his voice. He was trying not to blow up because he thought I was gonna act up.
