Gang Nam, Fifth Floor Yoo Shin Apartment, April 20, 2016…
“Oh! You're home?” ask a middle-aged woman when Da In will hit her apartment door code.
“Oh! Aunties. Yes, I just arrived,” Da In said after turning around.
“It looks like, we'll get a new neighbor. This apartment was rented by a handsome doctor and I heard he's single. Now that she is taking her studies as a Nutritionist,” explained the Woman with a meaningful smile.
For a moment, Da In glanced at the apartment door in front of him before he was jolted by a soft pat on his shoulder. He looked back, smiling at the woman
those.
“You've lived here long enough and who knows he's your soul mate. Since I don't have a daughter so, I would be very supportive if you were in contact with her,” she added in a satirical tone.
Da In blinked for a moment and then grinned before finally gesturing to ask for more admission
back then. Lazily, he stepped into one of the rooms in his large and luxurious apartment. He threw the backpack on the floor, then threw himself onto the bed.
“Haaa..”.
I heard her breathing in a very quiet room. And while swinging his two dangling legs, he looked at the ceiling filled with star stickers.
“I left home, let Dae Hyun who lived regularly take care of her and chose to stay in Seoul, because he did not want to think about men. But, here instead
I met an aunt who was very happy to set me up. Haaa...” back he sighed, “thankful Yoo Da In, because all of his strange sons are already
have a wife,” he added flat.
He began to shut down and the person's baying had crossed his mind although later, the figure slowly faded, changing into a dark space.
Hyuk Jae, do you hear me? Hyuk Jae, I'm scared…
On the sobs of a woman, suddenly a beam of light appeared so bright.
Da Iiin's…
The echoing cry of a man sounded very clear in his mind at that moment.
“Tidaaak..”
Suddenly he woke up and shouted involuntarily with both eyes enlarged as well as gasping for breath. For a moment he was silent and closed to calm down.
“Haaa..dream it again,”times.
TING! VAT!TING! VAT!
The sound of a bell instantly resuscitated him from the daydream, and made him rush off
towards the main door monitoring screen. He pressed one of the buttons that immediately showed a sweet-faced figure standing in front of the door.
“Who?” whispered wonder.
Carefully he opened the door and only exposed part of his body.
“Whose you?” reprimand Da In and spontaneously surprised the man with a height of 189 centimeters who had previously had time to look at the bell on the side of the door.
“Oh, I'm front neighbor and.”.
The man's sentence was interrupted after he turned to look at Da In. He was silent and seemed to scan the woman who was now in front of him.
“Hei! Sir!” snapped Da In yang and immediately came out after closing the door because he felt angry with the man's gaze.
He who was surprised also saw Da In who had been looking at him sharply.
“Oh, i..sorry,” said while bowing for a moment, “ak, I just want to say hello because I happen to live right in front of you,” he added trying to explain the initial purpose.
Da In's frown furrowed and threw a probing glare to the point of making him rush out a hand a double smile awkwardly.
“I, Cha Joo Hyuk,” said he was calm even though nervousness was still enveloping.
“I, Yoo Da In. Pleased to meet
You, ” said Da In ketus after replying his hand short.
I see, excuse me to go in first,” said JooHyuk.
Just a nod and a strange look from Da In that Joo Hyuk got before then
backs him. Lama Da In was speechless with a flat expression until the door of the apartment in front of him was tightly shut.
“Hmm..A very smooth face with well engraved jaw. Did he have plastic surgery? Ck, mmm..he will probably match Aunt Park,” Da In's chatter
suddenly turned serious.
For a moment, he fell silent again with a frown.
“The woman always betrothed me just because she had no job other than gossiping about the neighbors. I don't think her drunk husband would mind sharing his wife with this Dandy. After all there is nothing to lose to Aunt Park, her husband also likes to play women and it will be a thrilling story, “Suami Drunk and Man Dandy Idol Wife”, hmm,” instantaneous loud laughter Da In filled the hallway because of his imagination.
However, as if aware of his strange behavior, he tried to look “normal” again while paying attention around before then switching on two opposite apartment doors that were not far from his apartment and their new neighbors.
“At least this building only has three neighbors on each floor,” he whispered quietly before staring fixedly at the apartment door in front of him, “does he hear me?” ask her to panic, “she heard my voice?” contact both his eyes enlarged, “Yes God, shameful,” and with a flushed face he rushed in.
Meanwhile, Joo Hyuk was lying on the sofa with both eyes closed as he let out a loud sigh.
“Auntie chatty with drunk husband and Husband Romance stricken wife,” he said slowly, “then now, the woman I thought was normal, turned out to be a madman. It's gonna be more
it's hard compared to where it was before. Haaa...is there no quiet place other than the house?”
He who is new will fall asleep immediately woke up because of the ringing of his cellphone. Again, he sighed as he grabbed the phone on the table by his side without seeing the name of the Caller.
“Iya, with Cha Joo Hyuk,” he said who tried to hide his annoyance because his break time was interrupted.
“Best birthday of Jae Joo, Joo Heon and
Heon Bin's. Your sister Mi Joo and her husband are taking So Yul and Ji Yul on vacation so, they just leave gifts. Tomorrow go home, it has been three months you did not visit the house because of your work,” clear cheerful voice from across.
Hearing the familiar voice chattering at length without pause, all the annoyance of Joo Hyuk disappeared instantly and made him move and sit firmly.
“Oh, Mom. I thought my friend. Sorry,” said that sounded nervous.
“Are you sleeping? Sorry, it's only 12:00 in the afternoon so, I don't think it's a clock yet
your sleep and..”
“No, I'm not sleeping, Mom. I'm doing my job and waiting for a friend's call. I just did not see the name listed when picking up the phone earlier,” explained Joo Hyuk quickly, disconnected the woman from the phone because he was overwhelmed with guilt.
“Hmm, I thought you were taking a nap. So, did you hear what Mom said?”
“Hmm, I know. Just prepare a nice meal for their birthday. The rest I take care of. I'll leave with Manager Bong later tonight.”
“Take it easy. Then be careful on the road. Contact Mom before you leave.”
“I will do my best for Madam
Great Ok Sun Shin,” said Joo Hyuk while smiling cheerfully.
The woman named Ok Sun Shin was none other
it was the mother of Joo Hyuk who laughed after hearing his words.
“Iya, I know. I love you, hurry up
come son. Your father misses you so much.”
“Hmm. I also love Mom and Dad.”
The phone disconnected and Joo Hyuk who had looked happy immediately fell silent staring at the flat screen of his dead phone. However, a second later he pressed the lock button of the phone which immediately showed the face of a girl with long bangs. The girl took a selfie wearing a pair of sunglasses with a carefree smile in her lockscreen display.
In the photo, The Girl holds a piece of paper that says “Happy Birthday, Seo Min Hyuk. I Love You”. A cynical smile was engraved on the face whose eyes began to look glazed yet, rushing he averted his gaze and leaned on the sofa. He closed again and that second, the figure of the girl with a full body and long hair with a large tall man in a high-school uniform was clearly drawn in his mind.
Don't be weird. It's too scary.I won't leave you. I just want to focus on studying for the exam. Wait a minute, I'll be a great doctor.Whatever you say, I still can't take it. You just go, I want to be alone now…
The voice of the girl and the figure of the boy in the high school uniform echoed in his slowly slumbering mind.
