Put it on my tab, My father will cover it

Doona furiously tapped in her pin and pushed the entrance door open. Then she located the elevator and pushed on the button for the fourth floor. With no one around her, she looked at herself in the elevator mirror "Did I put on weight again?" Doona thought and sighed at her reflection. "I have been stress eating since the incident." she tapped her belly. "But things will be different, things will get better." She beamed at herself when suddenly the door slid open, and a man stood at the entrance.

---

The man had on a denim jacket and wore a beige turtleneck underneath. He stared fixedly at his phone and took his earphone out of one ear when he asked Doona, "are you going down?" Doona held her hands close to her chest and squealed out a forced response.

"I'm going up... Up! You can take the next one." She quickly reached over to press the button to shut the doors; stabbing it multiple times. The man watched Donna's erratic display but paid no real mind. Instead, he reached out his slender fingers to stop the shutting doors.

"Then I'll just go up and return down." He stepped into the elevator and rested his back against the wall. Doona squeezed her fingers tight against one another and pushed herself towards the shutting doors. "Lady! Wait that's dangerous!" The man called behind her, but Doona paid him no mind, she squeezed herself through the door just as they were shutting.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, Doona tapped her chest to calm herself. "Things will be different, relax. Be calm, let's be calm. We are in control. We are in control." But the loud ding that came from the elevator surprised her. When she turned and noticed the same man was wrestling his way out the doors and calling out to her, she panicked.

"Lady!" He shouted, but Doona ignored his calls and dashed towards the stairs. "Stop! You with the really-short-bob cut. Hey! Where are you going?" But Doona slammed the stairs-door shut behind her and raced up the stairs. The man pushed the door open and looked around for her, but the crazy woman had disappeared.

The man looked at the suitcase in his hands. "What the actual hell? She forgot her suitcase." Then he looked at his beeping phone, where several texts from a messaging-group had piled up.

¶ CharmsBoosh: Where are you EpicFoxx? Minji is performing for the talent show rehearsal soon.

¶ CuteMdogg0232: I heard she fought with her boyfriend yesterday.

¶ Diggstep: Who cares, she's just using him. Minji would never seriously date trash like him!!!!

¶ CutMdogg0232: Probs true. I'm just saying they fought, but they got back together. So maybe it's love?

¶ CharmsBoosh: Is EpicFoxx still coming… Or….

¶ CutMdogg0232: did he get a girlfriend?

The man rolled his eyes and typed back a speedy response.

¶ Epic Foxx: I'll be there soon. I need to head back to my room first.

He then stuffed his phone back in his pocket and dragged the box behind him, groaning. "Just my luck."

"Hey, someone's phone is buzzing like crazy." A man holding a beer bottle held up a cellphone very close to his face as he tried to read the message.

"Who is calling?" Another asked while slumped over a girl.

"It says... Jerkel & Hideous." The man holding the phone responds with a look of complete confusion. "Isn't this that book about-" he started but was cut off.

"It's definitely Sochun's phone. That idiot keeps naming his father stupid shit like that." The slumped man laughs. "Last time... what was it? Picko... Puno..."

"Pinoclueless..." Sochun responded as he swooped over and pulled the phone out of the man's hand. "Did no one ever teach you fellows to mind your damn businesses?" The two men booed at him and laughed.

"Would it kill you to read his messages or pick his calls?" A man with his hair dyed grey stirred in his seat. His eyes blinked shut as he struggled not to fall asleep.

"Wow! Are you still alive Jiwoon?" Sochun grins wickedly. "After all the beer you just drank." Sochun peers at the messages compounding on his phone.

¶ Jerkel & Hideous: When you are done fooling around, I expect to see you immediately. We have somethings to discuss, and I rather you not waste anymore of my time and be on your way.

Sochun rolled his eyes. When was his old man going to figure out that he would never do anything for him? People constantly joked and said, "his father should have had other kids," but Sochun knew this was more true than they thought. He wished his father had more children, so the bastard of a man could pester them and leave him alone.

Sochun tossed his phone on the table and smiled at his friends. "So who wants to play against me next?"

"You're too evil to be this handsome." Jiwoon stirred in his seat before he slipped and banged his head against the table.

"I guess Jiwoon is out." Sochun looked around at the other two drunk men and women littered around the private room. "How about you sweetheart?" He smiled meekly at the blushing escort.

"Umm..." she began to speak.

"You better avoid this dude. Besides, his girlfriend would eat you for lunch." Jiwoon reached over to shove Sochun. "Don't let his charming face fool you, he's an asshole, through and through. He'll get you drunk and steal all your money."

"It's not my fault that your shit and drinking games, you asshole. If you lose a bet, you should, man up, and pay up." Sochun retaliated and tossed a bottle cap at Jiwoon. "Come on darling… I'll go easy on you." Sochun smiled wickedly at her. The lady turned in her seat and giggled at Sochun who smirked at her.

"Wait… didn't Minji have her rehearsal today?" Jiwoon stood up with a finger pointing at Sochun.

"Oh, shiiiiiiiit!!!!!" Sochun eyes widened, and he rushed towards his jacket at the corner of the room. "Crap! Where are my shoes?" Sochun looked around the space, pushing the women and his drunk friends off their seats. "Minji will kill me if I even miss a second." He dashed towards the door while he typed a text message to his girlfriend to tell her he was on his way.

"Wait! Who is going to pay for all this?" A lady called from behind Sochun. So he walked back into the room and smiled sweetly at her.

"Just put it on my tab. My father will cover it." And with that, Sochun made a quick getaway towards the street to catch a taxi.

Crap!
