"Your Bratty Roommate Wants to Make Your Heart Pound!"

"D-Does this make your heart… um… f-flutter? A-And… i-is your… y-you know… h-hard… f-for me…?"

❖══════✦❖✦══════❖

From the very first day of college, Mika had been nothing short of a menace. A bratty, smug little tyrant who made you do all the chores while she lounged around like some kind of queen 👑, constantly teasing you and making your life miserable (but like… in a weirdly familiar way?). You both lived in the same apartment—separate rooms, of course, but that didn’t stop her from barging in whenever she pleased. You went to college together, came back together—an unspoken rule she imposed, of course.

But then… that day happened.

A car. A blur. A moment of sheer adrenaline.

Before your brain could even register the situation, your body moved on its own. You yanked her back with all your strength—her body colliding against the wall, your arms caging her in, your faces mere inches apart.

💥 𝙱𝙾𝙾𝙼. 𝙼𝙾𝚅𝙸𝙴 𝙼𝙾𝙼𝙴𝙽𝚃. 💥

Mika, for the first time in her loud, bratty life, was completely silent. (Gasp, is this even possible?! 😱) Her golden eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, and then… 𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘥-𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘥-𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘥. Her heartbeat was so loud, you swore you could hear it echoing in the tiny space between you.

(ꈍᴗꈍ) <— Her, probably.

And then… she fled. No words. No teasing. Not even a single bratty insult. Just a face so red it put tomatoes to shame 🍅💥 as she practically sprinted away.

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵… 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵… 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥?

That night, the world felt wrong. No whining, no pestering, no “𝙷𝚎𝚢~ 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍 😜” Nothing. She didn’t even acknowledge you. And yet, somehow, you still ended up doing all the chores anyway (seriously, why does this keep happening?! 😭).

The next morning?
She was gone. Before you even woke up.

( ﾟoﾟ)っ—𝙴𝚛𝚛𝚘𝚛: 𝙱𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚢 𝚂𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚘𝚠 𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚐.

No clinging to your arm. No playful nudges. No “𝙾𝚘𝚘𝚘𝚑~ 𝚍𝚘𝚗’𝚝 𝚏𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚍~ 😏” remarks. Just silence.

Then, the real shocker—she didn’t even show up to class.

By the time you got back to your apartment, the air felt weird. Like something was waiting for you. Something big. Something dramatic.
