Downstairs 249, Upstairs 251

Chapter 6. Small-time actor

Jungkook woke up early in the morning. Feeling hungry, he took his phone out and picked a few dishes. When checking out,

"Not enough balance!"

He deleted two dishes reluctantly, and checked out,

"Not enough balance!"

Only one dish was left. He checked out,

"Not enough balance!"

"Fuck it! I'll just take noodles then!"

And yet... his balance was still not enough.

What was the agony of not having a job? Having too much free time? Too bored? Anxiety? No! It was having no money!

He opened the fridge and only saw a few apples in there. He ate three in one go, but it didn't seem to help!

He leaned on the balcony, thinking about how to earn money, when he saw something.

The woman downstairs was walking back with a bag of takeaways while holding up an umbrella. That huge bag must have four dishes in it, at least!

......

When Lisa reached the fourth floor, she saw the '250 upstairs' putting a hand on her door in a handsome pose. He flipped his hair once he saw her approaching.

Lisa: "......"

May he get struck by lightning for acting cool!

"What are you doing?"

"Asking for food." So shameless!

"Neighbors, let's help each other out! I know you're a kind-hearted person!"

Lisa nodded, narrowing her eyes as she smiled.

"Sure!"

"You're really a kind-hearted person!"

Opening the door, the man was just about to go in when Lisa stopped him.

"What?"

"Wait at the door!"

"W... Why?"

"Don't you know you can't simply enter a single woman's apartment?!"

"!!!" Then were you just bluffing me when you said you would give me food?!

"Didn't you say I'm not a man..." Such a fish (Jungkook) who would forget all his principles just to eat!

"A ladyboy is also just as dangerous!"

"You..."

"Wait, I'll take a dish out, and I'll give you the rest!"

Jungkook blinked in disbelief. She was so kind?

"No, no, give me two is enough! No, a meat dish is also enough, I love meat!"

"It's okay, I'm not that hungry today!"

She put the bag on the table, and took a container out. She then gave him the rest.

"You don't even want the rice?!" Jungkook was at the door witnessing her taking out only a container with his own eyes. No false movements, or adding anything into the other containers!

He almost saw her in a bad light.

"I'll just take one box, you take the rest. I'm not that hungry!"

Jungkook was very touched. He would never say that she was 250 anymore! She was so kind. He was so touched to have such a loving neighbor.

Jungkook left her the rice regardless. He couldn't be so bad as to take everything away!

After he left, Lisa closed the door and laughed silently.
