1 Chapter 1: Jeong Chung-Cha

Jeong has had enough.

She'd lost too much already and her hunger wasn't helping, growing ever stronger and weighting her body down.

Her enemy sat in front of her, waving the stolen loot in front of his face, his lips spread in a grin of mischief that showed off his yellowish teeth. With a burst of anger at the look on his face she yelled.

"Jang, I will plug your eyes out and feed them to you through your ass; those cookies are mine!"

Jang startled and with his own burst of energy leaped from the couch where he sat.

"Sorry sis, finders keepers", he said, running to his room with Jeong hot on his heels.

"You have been eating my share of the snacks for the past month!" She yelped as he shut his door in her face just as she caught up and she started banging on the door.

"I'm lucky I got off work early today and caught you in the act you bastard, hand over the goods!!"

"Mmm they taste so good" her brother bemoaned behind his door making Jeong burn with a fresh wave of rage.

She stepped back assessing his door, she could try knocking it down again but her parents were still on her case about breaking her window 5 months ago-

Window.

She had an idea. With a skip in her step, she turned around and went to her room.

Jang was sitting down on the floor resting his back on his bed; enjoying the last of his cookies and growing increasingly worried at the lack of banging on his door.

His sister was a lot of things but she wasn't one to give up and let him be after an injustice. That's why the silence that had fallen outside his room was so concerning.

Hesitantly, he got up. Slowly approaching his door with the lightest steps he could manage and putting his ear against it. He strained to listen to anything happening outside but found that he could only hear the TV he had left on in his rush to get in his room.

Was his sister setting up an ambush outside his door? Well he wouldn't fall for it, she could wait behind his door all night but those cookies were his now and-

There was a creaking sound behind him followed with a soft thud. He felt cold sweat getting colder with the breeze that entered his room until he turned around to see his sister reaching for the cookies.

"You should start locking your window" She said around a mouthful of cookie crumbs and he was still staring at her with his mouth open.

"We are on the 3rd floor, how did you get through my window?"

"Wouldn't you like to know, cookie boy" she said and walked towards the door. She stopped just before unlocking it and walking outside to the living room again.

"Don't take my cookies again or their next hiding spot will be up your nostrils through your empty skull" she called from outside her door.

Jang finally recovered to blow a raspberry at her.

"When's mom and dad coming home?" he asked

"Don't know, they said they have some work to do at the store, you still hungry? They said we could get take out"

"Always hungry" he said going for the land-line phone, "Wait did that pizza place finally rehire their delivery guys?"

"I don't think so. The new management is shit, you'll have to go out and get the pizzas yourself" She called from her room

"Why me sis, you are still dressed"

"So are you, you sleep in your day clothes"

"Come on its cold outside" he whined, "I won't eat your snacks for a month just go get us dinner, please"

"You better hold that promise" Jeong said, finally coming out of her room with a slightly heavier coat than the one she came in with, "I'm off" she called and closed the door behind her.
