He Called Me A Beggar
I don't know where Jacob went today. Even though I shouldn't care. I just want to brag to him that soon I will get a job because I submitted his job application today. Therefore, soon I will definitely pay the rent for this apartment.
"Is there any beer? I haven't had a drink in a long time." I said while opening the refrigerator. It was empty, there wasn't any liquor in it. Just milk, juice and coffee. It turns out that Jacob doesn't drink, so can I have a little food?
"Take it! But don't make a mess!" This morning he said that when I asked for bread and milk. That means I can eat it as long as I clean up the trash, right?
I took all the food in the refrigerator, fruit, juice, cheesecake. This is life, if he doesn't want to share it, then he will experience bad luck in his life. I tuned in to the television, munching while lying down, just like I did when I lived at my parents' house.
Now that I'm far away from them, no one can stop me from doing whatever I want. No one anymore forbids me to sleep all day, forbids me to play video games, forbids me to finish the food in the refrigerator. No more, yes, no one can stop me anymore because now I'm free.
"I am free...!"
"Hey!" Before my eyes, Jacob's scary face appeared and looked even more scary. He looked at me coldly as if he wanted to kill me.
"J-Jacob, when are you coming home?"
"You didn't lock the door and turned the volume really loud! Tch, what are you doing? Why is it so messy?"
"M-messy?"
"Ah... no! I'm dead! I-in the kitchen too, don't let him get into the kitchen!" I'm scared inside. Just like a rabbit being bullied by a cruel gray wolf.
Jacob, who didn't like to linger, immediately went to the kitchen as if he had a bad feeling about the condition of his proud kitchen and refrigerator. I immediately followed it with a heartbeat that seemed to be at a disco in my body.
Just as Jacob arrived in the kitchen, he fell silent. Staring at the scene like a ship breaking apart before his eyes. To be honest, I was also a little surprised, why did it get messy like that? Did I really do it?
"J-Jacob, t-that's not, that's not-" I stuttered. Try to explain to him.
"Tch, you damn beggar! You did it, right?" He cursed.
"What? What did you say? Damn beggar? You called me a damn beggar?"
"Yes! You are a beggar, right? What else would you call a beggar?"
"Hey, watch your mouth! Who are you calling a beggar? How dare you say that?"
"Why? You don't like being called a beggar? If you don't like it, you should know yourself! If you're hitchhiking, you're still bothering other people!"
"Hey, you watch your mouth! Your parents never taught you to respect other people? Is that how your parents taught you?"
"I should be the one asking that! You use other people's things as you please, eat other people's food without permission and make trouble for the house! Who do you think you are? Now I ask you, you get out of here now!"
"No way, I've rented this apartment too, you don't have the right to kick me out! If you don't like it, you can just leave!"
"I'm leave? I've already paid the rent. You're the one who's going, you don't have any money! You bitch"
"Damn you! Don't call me a bitch...!" I shouted angrily while giving a knee kick right to his groin.
"Oh shit!" Jacob fell silent, his face pale after receiving my attack. His strong and strong body immediately weakened and curled up with both hands touching his throbbing intimate parts.
"Tch, feel that! Just watch out if you call me a bitch! I'll kick you with even more force!" I said as I walked away leaving him lying helpless, while I went into my room to celebrate the victory.
"Damn woman! How dare she kick, agh... it hurts so much!" Poor Jacob grimaced in pain, on the floor covered in food waste.
Jacob didn't know that his kindness in sharing a room with a woman who was almost homeless would lead him to endless misfortune.

"Really? I'm accepted?" I asked the middle-aged man who was the supermarket manager.
"That's right! You can start working tomorrow!"
"Ah... thank goodness! Thank you very much, thank you." I said. It didn't take long, now I have been accepted for work. That way, a little more I can pursue my dream of becoming a successful career woman.
I walked home full of joy, hoping I could celebrate my success in being accepted to work at the shop by eating delicious food. I hope Jacob has stocked his fridge with food, that way when he's gone, I can grab some.
"If he gets angry again! I'll kick him again like yesterday. But, it seems like my kick was too much. It must hurt a lot! What if he's really angry with me?" My heart became restless thinking about Jacob, who hadn't been seen since this morning.
It seems like I've gone too far, even though if you think about it, I was in the wrong, why was I the one who beat him? But, it was all because of his impolite mouth. Calling me a bitch and a beggar, he deserved it. I should have kicked him harder.
I opened the door slowly, afraid that I would run into him directly. No matter how strong I am, my opponent is a man with a strong body. I wouldn't be able to attack him with the same technique, he would definitely be able to read my movements and immobilize me quickly. After I am helpless, then he will definitely give me a punishment that I never imagined before.
"You crazy woman! You think you can beat me in the same way? I will repay you for what you did!" Jacob stared coldly in front of me who fell helplessly with his hands tied up, just like a kidnapping victim.
"W-wait, Jack! I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to kick you. I'm really sorry!" I cried, begging for mercy from him who I knew was not someone I could fight.
