Do Not Feed Recklessly

From the moment Jia’s family moved in next door to Ethan’s in Australia, he had always been the annoying boy her age who lived next door. “You’re ugly.” “You’re even uglier.” “Move, loser! I’m going first.” “Don’t be ridiculous! I got here first.” Their interactions were filled with constant bickering, neither willing to give an inch. Fourteen years of this irritating rivalry. But now, none of it mattered anymore. “Jia, you’re amazing. Congratulations!” “So, have you set the date for your departure?” “Yeah, I bought my plane ticket yesterday.” It was because Jia had successfully landed a job at a Korean company. “But aren’t you going to tell Ethan?” “I’m not going to tell him. You guys have to keep it a secret too, okay?” Yeah, that was the plan. “The friend I thought I was closest to just left for another country without even saying a word. How do you think I feel?” “…Ethan?” Oh my God, why… why is that guy here? *** “You were the one who threw away our friendship first. You know that, right?” “D-do you even realize how unbelievably creepy you sound right now?” How on earth had she ended up tangled in bed with Ethan? A whirlwind of emotions overwhelmed Jia, but if she had to choose the two strongest, it would undoubtedly be defeat and frustration. Good. Things had already come to this point, so there was one thing she was determined to make clear. “I-I… I was the one who f*cked you!” “What?” “Your d*ck went into my h*le, so I f*cked you!” “What are you talking about? Don’t be ridiculous. My d*ck did the work, so I f*cked you.” “Bullshit. I was the one in control, so I f*cked you!”
