Daydreams
A. SEOUL - 16TH

Lee Umji made two cups of tea in the kitchen. He glanced at Mino and Akira who were sitting next to each other on the sofa. He also took two pieces of cake from the refrigerator and served it as a tea companion.

"Please" said Umji then sat in front of the two.

Mino glanced at Akira at a glance.

"I'm really sorry Umji left you in Tokyo when you drowned. I suddenly got a phone call telling me that my family was also in trouble" Akira said.

Lee Umji smiled. "I get it" he said, turning to look at Mino. "Why did Mino oppa come here?"

The conscious Mino watching Akira is now staring at Umji. "Oh that .. hm, I'm just checking your situation. You're coming to work next week, aren't you?"

"Oh yes, thank you. Some of the scripts that the company sent me were also while I was working."

Mino stood up. "Alright, then I go home first," he looks awkward with the presence of Akira who is also always looking at him.

Umji's eyebrows shot up. "Oh, is there urgent work?" He stood up to see Mino who seemed to only visit for a while.

"Yes, I have a friend who came from New York" Mino said, glancing at Akira.

Akira was seen frowning as soon as he heard Mino's words. But he said nothing.

"All right, I'll go first" said Mino, beginning to walk to the door.

Lee Umji escorted Mino to the front door. "Be careful on the road."

After the man's departure, Lee Umji who initially wanted to turn back to the sofa, found Akira had been standing behind him.

"I want to take you out to eat together" Akira said, leaving Umji confused for a moment.

But Lee Umji still accepted the invitation. Akira takes her to a restaurant serving French food.

"Are you sure we'll eat here?" umji asked while holding Akira's hand before actually getting inside the restaurant.

Akira smiled faintly. "You're gonna love it. Isn't it pretty boring eating bibimbap or jajangmyeon."

When entering the restaurant, Lee Umji's eyes were immediately presented by the design of a restaurant that is very contemporary typical of European buildings that he usually sees on social media.

"What do you want to order?" tanya Akira looked at the menu list. He sat in a position opposite Umji.

Umji had also held onto the menu which made his eyebrows raise. "I don't think I know much about French food. You can recommend it to me," she said awkwardly.

Akira smiled back. "All right." He then called the waiter and began to mention several dishes such as Ratatouille, Escargot, Crossaint to Foie Gras.

"Are you eating at a restaurant like this?" tanya Umji did not think that Akira liked western food.

Akira nodded slowly. "I used to take a woman to a French restaurant, she liked it so much" he said, staring fixedly at Lee Umji.

Before Lee Umji retorted, Jini suddenly came standing beside the table.

"Dini?"

"Lee Umji, I didn't expect you'd be here?" jini then turned to look at Akira.

"I was just invited too. You're back yet?" tanya Umji remembers that Jini went out of town for a family event.

Jini nodded. "Right, I haven't seen you since you were from Japan" he said, sitting next to Umji.

"No, I mean after you came back to Korea to pick up the script and then go back to Japan," Jini's rebuttal left Umji dumbfounded.

"Jini how could I go back to Korea when...." Umji's words stop realizing that he is in a coma, because drowning is a secret that only he, Mino and ... Akira knows.

"What's wrong?" ask Jini confused.

"Include me Akira, Umji's friend in Japan," Akira said.

Umji's daydream is awakened when the waiter brings the ordered food. Jini orders food to be delivered to the same table as Umji and Akira.

"I didn't expect that Umji had any friends other than his coworkers at the office" Jini commented in the middle of their lunch.

Akira's eyebrows shot up. His hand still holds a knife and garfu to enjoy Foei Gras. "really? Is Umji very closed?"

Jini chuckles. "Not really, it's just that since he had an accident and had been in a coma, he mostly stayed in the apartment while working" he said.

Umji chose not to speak. He only backs up a thin smile and then glances at the look of Akira's face that does not look surprised even seemed sad to look at him.

"I also knew a woman who had also been in a coma," Akira replied to Jini's surprise.

"really? How long?"

"Four years."

Right after Akira answered Jini's question, the spoon and garfu that Lee Umji was holding fell onto the plate, out of his hand.

"What's Umji?" jini asked surprised to hear it.

Umji looked up and looked at Akira. "Is that the woman you used to take to the restaurant we're in now?" tanyakanya.

Akira gave a smile and then nodded slowly. "True, she's that woman."

Jini just sniffed her shoulders, not understanding the direction of Umji or Akira's conversation. He ate his ratatouille.

"Oh yeah Umji, when you came back to Korea for a while and took the script from me. What a different look you're wearing now" Jini commented, drinking red wine.

"Different how?" tanya Akira looked curious.

"Yes, it looks more fashionable and graceful," praised Jini making Umji lose his words.

"Jin."

"Hm?"

"Have you heard about this guy named Jun?" tanya Umji made Akira dumbfounded.

"Oh that was Mr. Janghyuk's college friend that you also met too right? Even you guys get to know," said Jini explained.

"Umji, are your memories starting to disappear again?" jini asked with a frowning forehead as if Umji was asking something he knew as well, but instead asked him.

Akira stared fixedly at Umji. He watched all the features of the woman's face in front of him carefully.

"Then, did Mr. Janghyuk ever tell you about a woman named Kim Hana?" tanya Umji.

Jini shakes. "I've never heard of a woman named Kim Hana."

Umji took a deep breath. He then looked at Jini and turned to Akira.

"What if the one who came to the office at that time, wasn't me?"

Jini's eyebrows shot up in confusion.

Umji gulped. "What if the person who came to take the script of All About You from you Jini, is a woman named Kim Hana, wife of Mr. Janghyuk's friend, Jun. The woman who has a face similar to mine based on the words of Mr. Janghuk."

Jini was stunned to hear Umji say about the woman who had a face similar to her. How come?

Then Akira, the look on the man's face could not hide the tension and surprise while looking at Umji.
