The Crying Past's
Nine

Seyi's eyes seemed to examine from the tip of the foot to the head of the man who stood behind him in front of the apartment door

"Nugusey?"Seyi almost forgot to close his mouth as the man turned his body and opened his glasses.He was very handsome, The clap on his shoulder restored his consciousness that had been lost due to the charm of the foreign man

"N.n.nuguseyo?"repeat Seyi with a stammer

The man in front of him seemed to scratch his head, his silence wrinkled as if he was thinking hard.he was sure he was at the right address but why the other residents, the last time he came to this apartment the occupants are still his brother, his brother,the girl in front of him continued to say sentences that he did not understand it made his head more dizzy

Seyi snorted annoyed feeling neglected, the man instead of answering his question was busy with his phone.actually he felt familiar with the face of the man in front of him,it's just that he can't remember exactly who this guy is and where he saw it

"Qing wen, Huang Zhilan zhu zai zheli?"

"Nde?"

"Zhilan jiejie zhu zai zheli?"repeating the man in a higher tone, he began to get upset because Seyi did not understand what he said"wo shi ta de dietie" he continued

"Wo de mingzi shi Huang Zhangwei" Zhangwei patted his chest softly hoping Seyi understood his point

Seyi let out a frustrated breath, he did not understand at all what this foreign man said, at this time he hoped that Zhilan or Xiuhuan would be here

"Zilk..Huang Zhilan"Zhangwei emphasized his tone to each tribe he said

"Huang Zhilan?"Seyi asked back, Zhangwei nodded excitedly feeling that there was starting to be a bright spot from the talk of 2 different humans of the type, language, and nation.

Seyi thought for a moment"she was away, but she's back today" she replied hesitantly

"You can speak English, you should have used it since then so we don't have to waste time" Zhangwei pushed Seyi slowly, forcing his way in after believing his brother was still the owner of the apartment

"take it" Zhangwei pointed at his suitcase with his chin then sauntered in and sat on the sofa, while his legs were raised to the table

Seyi painstakingly pulled Zhangwei's suitcase and backpack in"put down your legs" Seyi's command in Korean

"I don't understand what you're saying" Zhangwei replied in mandarin

Seyi kicked hard at Zhangwei's feet until he complained in pain.the 2 continued to shout at each other in their mother tongue

"Based on the brash maid" Zhangwei said as soon as Seyi left

"What are you doing here"

Zhangwei looked up to feel familiar with the voice that rebuked him, he had already stretched his hands to his feet, ready to hug the elder brother as Zhilan gave the code to stay in place



"I miss you"

"So this is why baba keeps calling me"

"Eonni you're back, she..."

"She's my sister" cut Zhilan fast

"A.sister?"Seyi looked quickly, though,noticing Zhangwei's face his hand stretched out to take a white-framed photo located right beside him.His eyes took turns staring at the face in the photo and Zhangwei's face for several times.now he realized why Zhangwei's face is not foreign, he realized why Zhangwei's face is not familiar,he even passed this photo every day deserved if he felt he had seen it.Possibly because of a different haircut he became difficult to recognize Zhilan's sister



"When are you back in Beijing?"ask Zhylan without further ado

"I'm not coming back, I'm going to college here"

Zhylan narrowed his eyes looking for seriousness on his sister's face

"I'm serious"

"You can't even speak Korean very well, how can you decide to study here" Zhilan said.

---

Xiuhuan put his backpack on the sofa, his eyes were busy exploring the apartment looking for the owner.not meeting him for a week is enough to make Xiuhuan's mood destroyed especially the girl never once lifted a telephone or returned the message

"Is there no hug for me..."Xiuhuan stretched out his arms when he found Zhilan drinking in the kitchen, hoping that the girl would hug him, it was only hope because the girl just stared lazily at him then walked past him to sit on the sofa

"You know where Zhangwei went.."Xiuhuan took the spot beside Zhilan and embraced her into his embrace

"Looking at your attitude it's like you didn't sleep with a woman while in Beijing" Zhilan pushed Xiuhuan away

"Can you be sweet to me for a day..."

"I can't be sweet on that jerk...."

"Gege..."

"You...."Xiuhuan looked at Zhangwei who had just arrived and then changed to Zhilan

"Ask him..."Zhilan shrugged her shoulders

"You didn't tell your uncle and aunt that you were here?"

"I thought jiejie had told them.."

"Shut your mouth, you said you talked to baba and mama"

Xiuhuan closed his eyes adding to his level of patience, hearing the 2 brothers in front of him who were busy clashing their mouths"I'll tell them"

"Done.." said Zhilan gladly.

"What are you talking about?"Seyi who had been standing beside Zhangwei watching the conversation that he did not understand at all finally could not bear to ask

Zhilan looked at Zhangwei and Seyi in turn"you learn Korean, now you live in korea"Zhilan pointed to Zhangwei"and you learn Mandarin, you live among the Chinese so you have to learn it"Zhilan instead pointed at Seyi, she sipped a glass of water in her hand until it ran out"I'm tired of being your translator" she said annoyedly,yes during this week he had to be a translator when the 2 children did not understand each other what each other said and most of their conversations contained quarrels that made him really careless

Xiuhuan chuckled softly after Zhangwei and Zhilan entered each other's abyss, he stared amusedly at Seyi who was frowning his face"what was it like living with the Huang brothers?"

"I have no problem with Zhilan eonni, but her sister really sucks"

Xiuhuan's laughter grew more and more into Seyi's statement"but he was handsome..."

Seyi snorted in annoyance but did not deny Xiuhuan's words

"Where are you going?"

The door that was half-open Zhilan closed again, she turned to face Xiuhuan"Stop asking where I was going, where, and with whom.as if you were my lover"

"Can you not make the residents of this apartment worry?"

"Who?Seyis?Zhangwei?I'm a grown-up gege..."

"I'm..."

Zhilan snorted"Stop as if you care about me, and you're not the occupant of this apartment"Zhilan came out shutting the door so loud that it made a thumping sound

Dang!!!as if he cared, hey himself really cared for the girl.Didn't the girl see the earnestness in him after 20 years of getting to know each other more, or the image in him was already completely damaged in the girl's eyes.

Xiuhuan sneered at his temple, his eyes still staring at the door.Xiuhuan chuckled

"What are you laughing at?"

"Stop that..."

"He ignores you, the more insolent he gets to you..."

Xiuhuan frowned his brows, smiling bitterly"looked clearly..."

"Don't forget, you have a big hand for his attitude like this" Zhangwei said

Xiuhuan looked at Zhangwei who was busy with his phone, his words were quite striking at the manager of the older brother

"You never mentioned it.."

Zhangwei put his phone in his pocket, his focus turned to Xiuhuan's eye bead"I just reminded.

The 2 were silent for a while in positions of staring at each other

"I understand.."Xiuhuan opened his voice

"I'm just joking, you're too serious" Zhangwei replied, his serious attitude disappeared instantly back with his initial playful attitude

"Wooaaa.for a moment I felt like I was somewhere else, the aura around you turned cold and gripping.."Seyi who had been secretly watching Xiuhuan and Zhangwei's conversation commented as he felt the serious atmosphere in the room fade away

"What did he say?"

"Pabus..."

Zhangwei stood up to Seyi quickly, he landed a light punch on the girl's head,he may not speak Korean yet but he knows very well a word Seyi said earlier and he knows it was aimed at him

"Silly girl.." muttered Zhangwei as he ran quickly into his room.

"You keep fighting in the drama, the love story always starts with the quarrel" Xiuhuan took his backpack decided to go home to his apartment
