Don't Like Me

[First original work; not recommended for readers with lots of dealbreakers. The writing doesn't quite nail its style, and most of the characters spend their time analyzing themselves.]

Cui Nan, a 26-year-old woman, is broke after breaking up with her ex abroad.

Just after landing back home, a bad friend sets her up on a "blind date."

She looks at the woman across the table in disbelief. Isn't this Xia Senxu, her very first girlfriend?

After six years apart, they can't stand the sight of each other, so naturally the blind date goes nowhere.

The next day, Cui Nan meets the landlord she'd made arrangements with, and feels her heart sink.

Cui Nan: ...What a headache.

Xia Senxu: Heh.

This is a story about two people living under the same roof.

Note: This story is told in first person.

Content warning: After breaking up, both of them dated other women. If you don't like that, please don't read.

This is a one-on-one romance with a happy ending. I don't know how to divide the POVs. When the two of them buy cola, they switch roles (though there's no point discussing that on JJ). If I had to say, since it's in first person and Cui Nan has this personality, she'll probably come across like a silly, big puppy when it comes to expressing her feelings, while Xia Senxu is a slightly tsundere cat.

The plot is very low-key, with no melodrama (probably).

My next book will be What on Earth Did I Do Before I Lost My Memory? If you're interested, check out the upcoming works in my profile! Thank you!

Theme: Be yourself and live earnestly.
