Chapter 1

At 7 in the morning Chi Park woke up to the beeping of her alarm clock. She hit the button to stop it from beeping and sat up to stretch her arms.

Without her eyes fully opened yet she picked up her glasses and placed them on as she walked to the bathroom. She opened the door and had managed to see a shape of a woman.

When her vision cleared she realized it was a naked woman and screamed.

"AAAAAAAAH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Park backed out of the bathroom as the woman in question wrapped herself in a black towel hanging on the rack.

"What happened?" Chase walked briskly to the scene with nothing but his pajama pants.

"Sorry…there was a…girl…your date last night?" Park asked, covering her peripheral vision with her hand to not have to see anything else.

Chase gave a sigh of relief. "Yeah. Melissa, this is my roommate Chi. Chi, this is Melissa."

Once the towel was wrapped firmly around her body she gave out her hand for a handshake. "Hi. Am sorry about not locking the door. Robert did warn me about a roommate."

Park turned as she dropped her hand and gave the other to shake hers. "It's alright. I just woke up. Are you staying for breakfast?"

She smiled. "Oh no…no I'm good. But thanks though. Um, I'll just dress up and I'll get out of here."

"Oh. Alright…I'll leave you to that." Park said as she closed the bathroom door behind her.

She took a deep sigh of relief, glad that it didn't go as awkward as she thought it would be in the event this had ever happened.

"She seems nice." Park commented and then started heading to the kitchen to prepare coffee.

"Uh, thanks." Chase followed her there. "It looks like you're taking the situation well too."

Park pulled out a mug from one of the drawers. "The sight of a naked stranger is much easier to deal with than walking in on my parents."

He winced as he pulled out another mug for his coffee. "I don't think I needed to know that."

Park didn't seem fazed and went back to the subject. "Other than possible rape, waking up to seeing another woman in the apartment was something I already foresaw." She poured herself a mug of coffee before pouring into her roommate's mug.

Chase rolled his eyes at the 'rape' comment before taking a sip of his coffee. "For someone who thinks she'll get raped you seem pretty calm about the matter."

Park just gave a coy smile and sipped her coffee. "I figured if I cooked you breakfast often you'd reconsider that my cooking skills were worth sparing me. So, omelet or waffes?"

The other doctor smiled. "I'll have an omelet, and this is the first time a woman cooked for me so I wouldn't have sex with her."

Park went to preparing breakfast while Chase went to check if his date was alright. She was already dressed up and about to head for the door.

"Tonight was great." Melissa said, smiling. Then she glanced toward the kitchen to see if Park was within earshot before saying softly. "So she's not bothered by you having random women at night?"

Chase scoffed, amused at the question. "Don't worry about her. She said she had expected it when she moved in."

"No I mean…she's not jealous or upset?"

Chase looked confused, never given that a thought. "I doubt it. The first concern she had was whether she'd be raped in the night."

But Melissa still seemed to have doubts. "I don't know…a good looking man like you it's unheard of someone would just live in the same apartment as you and not be tempted."

"She's different." Chase insisted.

Melissa feigned shock. "Really? You should observe her every now and then. I bet she looks at you from time to time. Try looking at her when you bring a girl home. You'll see."

She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving the apartment.

Chase didn't believe it at first, and then he turned to see Park from the kitchen cooking. She seemed her normal self…and she had always seemed to have been.

But could she?
