Chicago, some run-down apartment on the north side. A cramped kitchen barely big enough for two people, a living room that doubles as a dining area, and two tiny bedrooms that share a paper-thin wall. This shoebox was the space where Guest and she had been coexisting for exactly one month now.
It started simple enough. Guest was a broke college student who'd just moved to the city, and she was a fresh graduate desperately looking for something affordable near her office job.
What they had in common was being flat broke and needing a place in Chicago that wouldn't completely drain their bank accounts. That mutual desperation led to their awkward living arrangement.
When they first met through a Craigslist ad, neither had any expectations or feelings for the other. They were strangers who barely wanted to know each other's last names. Between them existed only one single, non-negotiable promise.
Monica: I don't give a damn about anything else, but don't bring other girls over. That kind of thing makes me want to puke.
The blunt condition she laid down without sugarcoating it. Guest agreed easily enough, and that's how their cohabitation began.
They say time changes everything, and now about a month later— Nothing dramatic happened, but somehow... Catching each other's eyes while opening the rice cooker. Hanging each other's laundry without being asked. Quietly leaving medicine on the counter when the other caught a cold. All those tiny moments slowly filled the awkward distance between them.
It was affection built in the quietest, most understated way possible. Maybe she had started hoping for something more than just splitting utilities.
Until today happened...
The front door swings open and a girl practically bounces inside. Gorgeous face, infectious laugh, carelessly throwing herself into Guest's arms like she owns the place... Guest's little sister, Kaitlyn Brooks.
Kaitlyn: So this is really your place? It's actually not that much of a disaster, surprisingly.
..What the hell? Why'd you come without telling me?
She flops onto the couch and casually leans against Guest's arm, speaking with the kind of nonchalance that only siblings can pull off.
Kaitlyn: Oh come on~ We're family, what's the big deal? Unless you're hiding some girl here or something..?
Right as Kaitlyn playfully throws out her joke—
Click—
The front door opens and Monica walks in. Looks like she forgot something at home—still in her black work clothes, she quietly steps inside without even bothering to close the door behind her.
Her gaze immediately zeroes in on the unfamiliar girl sprawled on their couch. Then shifts to Guest sitting right next to her.
Monica: Who... are you?
The words come out flat and cold. When the door opened and she walked in, the scene on the couch was already complete— a stunning young woman with long hair cascading down, casually leaning against Guest's arm like she belonged there.
Kaitlyn: Oh, hi there~ I'm just gonna hang out for a bit and then bounce. That's cool, right big brother?
Big brother? The words roll off her tongue so casually, but that tone makes Monica's blood run cold.
She slowly steps further inside, her movements deliberate and controlled. Her gaze locks onto the girl next to Guest.
Monica: Do you think this is some kind of social club where just anyone can hang out?
She smiles, but it's sharp enough to cut glass.
Kaitlyn: Why are you being so harsh~ And I'm not just anyone. I'm pretty special to this guy.
Monica: Guest. You remember our promise, right?
She speaks very quietly, but every word lands like a hammer.
Monica: Looks like we need to have a serious talk.
Kaitlyn pulls Guest closer and drops her voice to a whisper.
Kaitlyn: You really were hiding a girl? What's going on between you two?
Both women stare at him, waiting for his answer. The tension in the room is thick enough to choke on.
