AT THE CROSSROADS OF DILEMMA
Section 12.



Ken returned to the room with a restless face standing in front of the bookshelf that closed the door while walking back and forth like an iron, Yumna heard who opened the door because the courier came back to return the money. At that moment Ken went straight into the room which made the two scream in shock.


“What did you order? Why didn't you tell me, would I want to order something nice to eat?” said Ken opened the plastic and took the chopsticks and then ready to eat, the food that Yumna bought.


“I thought you were living alone.” asked the delivery courier, Ken said that made the man look scared.


The courier did not want to argue and immediately returned Yumna's money and left. Yumna could only gawk at the bangtang and instantly locked the door first. Ken ate pitza until his mouth was full. Yumna quipped that Ken must have had some appreciation for his acting but Ken chose to go to his room.


“Why didn't you finish your act? I did not eat the leftovers of others.” Yumna taunted, Ken did not reply and went straight back to his room.


Yumna sat in front of her desk, Ken came in with his shoes and put them in front of the door while insinuating Yumna who was advertising that living alone was not good but with Ken's shoes next to Yumna's shoes people would think Yumna did not stay alone. Yumna was silent and Ken saved her.


“Just stay here, because I will stay here too.” Ken said before returning to his room.


Yumna is silent as Ken again closes the door with a shelf and wonders why Ken gave her an unlicensed impression and how Ken will deal with the aftermath, then saw Ken's shoes that were deliberately placed in front of the door along with his pocket.


***************


Melisa went into the house with random hair - scramble, speaking like English, Brian sat on the sofa while drinking tea like he already knew the behavior of his sister from his theme. While Kenzo saw his phone telling him that his sister did not speak English because her phone could not answer the meaning of Melisa's words. Brian thought it was just nonsense and spoke as he pleased and as good as he could.


Ken sat on the table. Raising his head to the sky - the sky of the house. He remembered the words of the doctor while doing hypnotherapy, “Do not try to dodge, it is better Just go through it. Just think about why those visions keep popping up in your head. Why is it that only that woman appears in the focus of your head. If you go through it, you will find the reason. Until then, follow the current.”


Finally Ken opened his eyes to hear the commotion from the living room, then smiled to see his brother who spoke slack. Brian replied with a strange language. The two fought each other, even hugging and Brian told Melisa to wake up immediately. Ken could not help but laugh at the manner of the two.


Melisa talks to Ken and runs to her room, taking off her jacket. Kenzo said what his brother said. Brian tells Melisa that she has to go to a mental hospital. Ken could only laugh, then suddenly the viewer came back with Yumna who said, “He's back. Si beautifulYumna.”


Pikiaran Ken recalled when Yumna spelled her name and also a prewed photo and a photo on SNS Yumna was with a man when it was the day they married. Yumna's words, “Your heart rate is my favorite voice in the whole world.” with the two of them sitting together in a cafe and kissing. 


*************


Marathon race in X. Arini drove her car slowly seeing the weather was good today. Yumna suddenly shouted because she saw that there was a marathon participant with the same name, with a happy face feeling that there must be Yumna in the crowd, wherever she went, and where she went, there was at least one person named Yumna.


"Fighting!” yumna said happily through the runner with the name behind her back.


Yumna's face changed when she saw the face of the jogger Yumna who was stopping. She is the beautiful Yumna during the race with him and must be forced to lose because all the men cheered her name. While he was running fast.


***************


Ken works alone in the studio, Yumna's shadow comes saying, “She's back, the beautiful Yumna.” finally Ken left with a mic and his recording device, which he took with him, the thought goes back to when Yumna opened the curtain in the morning, when the sun came in. Ken was still sleeping and Yumna went back to sleep next to him while hugging him.


"Your heartbeat sound is what I love in this world.” whispered Yumna, Ken hugged his girlfriend tightly.


Ken was already on the side of the train tracks, when the train passed by he put up earphones to hear it and recalled that while kissing Yumna was very friendly and gentle, the two seemed happy to embrace each other. After that both are also prewed photos with wedding dresses and suits.


But Ken ends up sitting alone at his wedding because Yumna left him. After searching around, he saw SNS Yumna who was listening to a photo was in line with a man and then said caption, may you be happy."  Ken remembered everything but there was no longer a face of sadness and regret.


*************


Yumna just arrived at the office with a blank look, looking at her phone in her group that kept ringing.


“Hei! The beautiful Yumna who is finally back!” write Yumna High School boy friend in her group. One of them replied like disbelief.


“They said she saw him in Gangnam. She has been living in Europe.” Reply Yumna High School girlfriend, a man asks if Yumna is returning to Korea, to Yumna's homeland.


“Yes. I heard he took a job offer.” reply to the woman's friend


“Yahuuu! I wonder if she is still as beautiful as she used to be.” said a happy male friend.


“I heard she is an adult and her appearance is now more perfect.” reply other guy friends.


***************


Yumna is currently on the edge of the river that the other day had visited her by crossing her legs like doing yoga and putting earphones in her ears.


“When my mood is bad, I used to go to a place that makes me happy.Happy mind. Happy things.”


Yumna remembers Ken putting his shoes on his doorstep, insinuating Yumna who was trying to tell him that living alone told him the courier was a fraud. Then before Ken goes back to his room talking, “Just stay here, I'll stay here too.”


Finally Yumna can smile back to remember him and open her eyes look sad is gone. 


***************


The doctor asks if Yumna does not know that Ken is the one who ruined her marriage. Ken closed his eyes saying not yet. The doctor also confirmed that Yumna did not know that all this happened because of the other Yumna. Ken confirmed.


“Then how do you feel when you have these visions? When you see him in your vision, do you feel guilty?” the doctor sat in front of Ken.


“I just feel lonely.” replied Ken by opening his eyes.


Ken recalled seeing the look on Yumna's face when she first met and turned her body towards him. Even in the car as the two stared at each other, then on the sidewalk before they got to know each other.


“It feels like I'm reminiscing about a memory that used to be right before I would die of old age. I feel lonely. I have a feeling that my life will end up being a tragedy."


****************


Do Kyung got out of her car, walked down the street when she walked into the restaurant, instantly speechless when she saw Yumna eating her voraciously alone. Yumna stopped chewing because she saw Ken standing in front of her. Eventually Ken decided to sit down at the other table.


Yumna chewed her food with a cynical glance, Yumna could hear her finally move to Yumna's seat and would order the same menu at the restaurant. Yumna claimed to want to hit him earlier. Ken could only remain silent. Ken's food is coming.


"Listen - listen you need a lot of energy to live in this area. Apparently there are many people who moved to the area here, then fled from his house at night.” Yumna story while whispering, but Ken was just busy eating.


“You said you've been living here since you were a kid, right? You must have a lot of energy.” said Yumna directly put his hand on Ken's head. Ken with a cynical look asked what he was doing, Yumna said he was absorbing the energy Ken had because today he felt less energetic. Ken shook his head, and the Yumna lowered her hand with a sigh.


“My mood has been bad lately and recently my mood has recovered.But I am really sad today. I told you that there were two Yumna's when I was in High School? He's back.” Yumna story, Ken was silent as if looking back at the shadow of Yumna who mutated, “Si beautiful Yumna.”


“Huff, I can't understand. What exactly does he eat? How could? He didn't even age a little. Even I am the only one who ages.” complained Yumna, Ken stiff for a moment with a glass in his hand.


“I heard a rumor that one day he suddenly disappeared I felt comfortable once I knew that he had disappeared, I thought I didn't need to be compared to him anymore. That's why I started attending our school reunion.But, I saw him yesterday and he ran a marathon. Without seeing that he is someone I know, I instead encourage him.” Yumna's story is upset while ruffling her hair.


Ken was still glued to his glass and drank his water to relieve nervousness. Yumna also ate a spoonful of rice into her mouth to eliminate her upset taste.


Ken came out first from the restaurant again seeing the shadow of the stunned Yumna. Then Yumna came out of the restaurant showing a stupefied look like she saw. Ken saw Yumna who walked with a happy smile said, “Wind the night was really warm.” Ken's face sculpted. Yumna walked over and said the same sentence.


“This is my favorite season. The season when the night breeze becomes warmer.” Yumna story right standing next to Ken, but ken did not comment chose to walk first. Yumna followed him from behind.


“My heart is at ease, knowing that someone is feeling the same pain as me. I thought all this shit only happened to me because I'm an idiot. But it turns out cool people like you can also be dumped before their wedding.” Yumna story, Ken still silent without comment.


“Sorry because I told you that my pain is my encouragement.” said Yumna, Ken saw a lot of cherry blossoms that fell, the two of them walked home together - the same as cherry blossoms that fell on the street. 


In front of the house


Hae Young asks how they did the repairs to her house. Ken thinks they just need to close the door by using their own furniture. Yumna mocked Ken who suddenly became generous when yesterday looks crazy Just because of this.


“My father initially used the room as his study.” Ken's story, Yumna asked what his father was doing.


“Work similar to my job. When I move back here, I will also use it as a workspace. If you decide to move, tell me first to use it as a workspace, I'll need the door. So let it be so.” explained Ken, Yumna understood and said to go to enter the house first.


Ken saw Yumna who was a little running when climbing the stairs to his house, suddenly the viewer came back Yumna who ran down the stairs and immediately jumped towards his body like someone wanted to be carried.


Ken gawked in shock and immediately walked back like he felt Yumna had run and was on his face. But she thought she saw Yumna still walking up the stairs to her house. 


To esokan day.


Yumna's mother was already wearing neat clothes and a backpack, Mr. Abraham was repairing a bicycle asking where his wife was going. Yumna's mother said that she wanted to go up the mountain. Yumna's father was silent at his wife's strange behavior after their son left.


In fact, Yumna's mother went to her son's house and managed to enter the gate because it was not locked, then walked up the stairs to her son's house. In front of the door, Yumna's mother was upset to see her son's trash who ate instant rice and lots of beer cans. After that check the door of the house and see there is a sticker to fix the broken door.


Yumna's mother walked down the stairs while talking to someone if instead of using the button to lock the door better press the number, so told to buy a door lock and immediately bring it to Yumna's house. 


Melisa suddenly entered the dining room with an upset face and threw toilet tissue at the head of her sister who was drinking. Then scolded his sister who defecated while standing up because she had advised him to squat. Kenzo screamed if he didn't do it. Melisa asks who else if not her youngest sister.


Ken came out with a cup of coffee and pointed to someone who was eating at the table. Brian was terrified at breakfast. Melisa sees Brian's face frowning and asks when her sister's friend came to the house. Brian confessed last night and will stay at Ken's house for a while.


“What kind of person did you defend this time before you were terrorized?” ask Melisa.


“Crulers and murderers. He won a free verdict for the man who was initially sentenced to 15 years in prison. If I were a member of the victim's family, I'd kill you too. Eye for eye. I'll date you too, then rape, and then kill you.” Kenzo said grimly sitting at the dinner table.


“When will you stop defending these people? Do you really not have anyone else you can defend?” melisa said nagging.


“Criminals also deserve human rights. Even if the entire nation pointed a finger at them at least I should do my best to defend them. That's law and justice.” stressed Brian then berated his own upset about justice while pushing his cereal bowl.


“In this house, you have to squat if you urinate. That's justice. Otherwise, I will instantly kick you out!” melisa then walked out of the dining room.
