Kim Hye Jin - pov
Lightning flashes began to be seen when I came out of the seo jin park house that looked like a haunted house at night
The nighttime atmosphere of the seo jin park residence has not changed at all since 2 years ago when I was still living in this house
I don't know what seo jin thinks until he is reluctant to hire some domestic assistants at night and live in this house
After all he will not lack a room because it provides a place to stay for his domestic assistant but strangely, it is, he did not want his housekeeper to be in his residence at night and chose to become a haunted house like this when nightfall because some lights were deliberately turned on
Drizzle began to wet my clothes and I decided to take shelter in one of the gazebos yard seo jin home yard is quite spacious
I tried to find a vehicle transportation service via online using my smartphone application, hoping that around the house there are drivers or vehicles that still receive passenger orders
But when I typed in my apartment address in the online vehicle app, I felt like someone was watching me
From far away I could see a greenhouse containing plants and flowers growing in the house of seo jin
I narrowed my eyes to make sure that someone was watching me from a distance
But the flash of lightning made me glare until it closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, the figure I saw all black was gone somewhere
As soon as my hair stood up, I thought back to the time I slept in the seo jin reading room and dreamed of meeting the ghost of a foreign uncle who was shot dead in the basement of my father's residence
The ghost of the foreign uncle approached the house of seo jin and appeared suddenly in the yard of the spacious seo jin house and had stopped at the garden fountain
My eyes turned to the seo jin garden fountain which was right across from me
I exhaled and began to remind myself not to get too swept away in my mystical delusion
I decided to turn my back to the greenhouse and the fountain and face the wall of the seo jin house fence
I started to continue my activities to type my apartment address and started to search for online vehicle transportation services around the house seo jin
The online vehicle application on my smartphone still continues to appear circular turning sign still looking for a vehicle for my order
I was surprised when I saw the writing 'try again' while trying to find a vehicle around the house seo jin
Whether the amount of online vehicle transportation is small due to weather factors like this
Not to mention that I had to several times hear rumbling sounds telling each other
I tried to calm down and then hit the start again while hoping that there would be a vehicle transportation that received my order
But when I was busy observing my phone, I heard the sound of splashing water caused by someone's footsteps
It was getting clearer in my ears and strangely I was afraid to look back. I tried to ignore the mystical delusion by shaking my legs so that my fear was not obvious and fear would affect my mental health condition which began to gradually improve if I did not try to calm down
Today I have not taken the medicine that the doctor prescribed for me, even though the dose has begun to be reduced, it does not mean that I do not take the drug at all
I deliberately did not carry the medicine I used to drink in my bag, because I was getting used to taking it regularly after dinner
Therefore, I keep the medicine that I usually drink in my apartment. But all day I have not returned to the apartment, it is only natural that I have too many thoughts that frighten me, if this continues, it is likely that my anxiety disorder can return
Haaah....
You should be able to control yourself kim hye jin, no ghost or anyone else other than myself in the grounds of this vast seo jin house
Until someone patted my shoulder suddenly accompanied by a sound of lightning that quite deafened my ear
I was so shocked that I made me curl up my squat and throw my phone unguided while closing my eyes
"Kim hye jin!"
"You're okay?" Asked a man to me who looked so worried just by hearing it
I still close my eyes and make sure the sound I hear is not my imagination alone but the voice of a real person until the rumbling sounds disappear and are not mutually unpretentious anymore
"Say something!"
"Are you okay?" Ask again and make me dare to open my eyes
I slowly opened my eyes and saw who was the one who surprised me and was enveloped in fear like this
The first time I saw that man's clothes were all black just like in my dreams
That black raincoat!
Why is it so similar to the ghost of that foreign uncle?
Did he really come to me and the person in front of me was not human?
Butwhy?
Shouldn't he have rested quietly after sung dong il in prison forever?
I closed my eyes again and dared not continue to look at her face
I frowned and closed my eyes tightly
"I know it's not real..."
"All is well kim hye jin, control yourself" I kept trying to calm myself
Now I'm sorry why I didn't carry my routine medicine in my bag
If I have something that scares me like this, I don't have to worry about having an anxiety disorder
"Kim hye jin, calm down...."
"It's me"
"Did you bring your medicine?"
"I didn't carry it in my bag" I said reflex
"Do you feel short of breath again?"
"Haah.
"hurry up and I'll accompany you to the hospital"
That line of worried speech made me realize that the figure before me was a human, someone I knew
I ventured to open my eyes to make sure my guess and sure enough that person was none other than park seo jin
Seemed a worried expression from seo jin's face
The instant I realized that the one who frightened me was Park seo jin, I stood up and shouted at him
"Yeah!!!*(heei!!)" I cried while holding my breath
"Why did you surprise me, park seo jin?" I sewot
"Why did you suddenly pat my shoulder and wander around in a black raincoat like this?!" Much
"I thought you were...."
"You're not human" I said honestly
"Do you think I'm a ghost?" Seo Jin asked
"Nne*(yes) I thought you were a ghost." I said disconnected.
"Kim hye jin there's no ghost in...."
"You look like the ghost of a foreign uncle who was killed in the dong il basement and was present in my dream" I continued, looking down
Seo Jin was silent when she heard my words
"Sorry..."
"Making you shocked and frightened, kim hye jin" said seo jin
"I've called you a few times but you didn't hear it" said seo jin
"Have you forgotten, after all, what do you need to call me?" I asked sewot
"This is." said seo jin while carrying two books that I picked up in his library
"Did you forget? one of your legs hurts from this book?" Seo jin asked
"And.." said seo jin disconnected.
"Have you forgotten your purpose for coming here?" Asked seo jin again while taking out the brown map from behind his raincoat
I knew the chocolate map contained proposals for my college event, and because of Jennifer, I had to go to seo jin's house
"You can give it to the chairman of the campus organization" I said
"No need, because I signed it" said seo jin
"Didn't you have any questions about the proposal?" Ask me for wonder
"For what?" Seo jin asked
"This is your request kim hye jin"
"You even bother to visit my residence to get my approval, it means this proposal is very important to you" said seo jin who made me still confused
"Park seo jin.." call me.
"I don't think the proposal is important to me" I explained
"I just replaced the chairman of the campus organization who is currently sick and unfortunately when he was in good health..."
"It's hard to see you" I explained to seo jin
"I don't even really know what the fund submission proposal is about in detail"
"But I know, they have the idea to bring in a rising guest star right now"
"Even I don't know what kind of band it is" I said
"I think instead of you agreeing to your funds, you're using it just to invite a band that not everyone knows.."
"It's a good step you need to meet with members of the campus organization to organize a better graduation event" I said
"For example?" Seo jin asked
"For example, you could have asked the members of the organization to collect photos of all the final students on their phones and summarize them and make them music videos"
"Or you can make and choose candidates with ridiculous degrees by voting from students"
"Silly title?" Seo jin asked
"Yes a silly title, like the queen and king of the terjail, the queen and the king are encouraged or whatever it is that will make the students remember his pleasant college days" my words with excitement and unconsciousness made me cheerful
However, I did not realize that as long as I spoke seo jin always looked at me while smiling
"Then what else do you think should be held for graduation to impress you?" Seo Jin asked that made me realize
"Where do I know? Just ask my college organization"
"Why should you ask me?" I said while taking the book in the hands of seo jin
I turned my body to turn my back on seo jin
And..I just realized, my phone fell and bounced quite far because of the incident that made me surprised earlier to not realize I threw my own phone
"Of...andwee!!!*(yes god...no!!)" I said as I approached my phone and hoped it would still work
However, my phone screen was in total black like there was no sign of life
I tried to dry my phone with my blouse, hoping it would light up if it was dry
I kept pressing the power button on the left, but the result was nil
I closed my eyes as a sign of restraining my emotions
"Ok fine, and I'm now confused as to how I can get home" I grumbled softly.
"Did your phone not work?" Seo Jin asked suddenly
I'm not seo jin
And still thinking of my way to get home
Just one step away from the gazebo, seo jin suddenly pulled my right arm and told me to stop
I was surprised when seo jin pulled my arm suddenly to make my face try to look back to look at seo jin
"What are you doing?!" I said sewot while pulling my arm trying to take off seo jin's grip
"I'm the one who asked you, what do you do when it rains like this and it's night?" Seo Jin asked me back
"Certainly go home" I answered briefly
"Walking? Riding buses? Or taxi?" Seo jin asked
"Park seo jin.it's none of your business I go home with what" I replied ketus.
"It's the night hye jin, stay at my house" pinta seo jin
"Mwos?!!"*(what?!)" Exclamation
"Stay at your house?!" Excited again
"Despite the typhoon hitting the earth, I prefer to go home to my apartment rather than have to spend the night here" I said annoyed
"Apartment?" Oceh seo jin slowly
"I mean your apartment is not mine, I just hitchhiked" I said errat
Me and seo jin were silent for a while and felt awkward
"Well, whatever it is, I don't want to spend the night in this house"
"Too many bad memories have happened to me" I said ketus to eliminate the awkwardness
"Well kim hye jin, wait here, I'll take my car keys inside so I can drive you home" said seo jin
"Tu.wait!" Exclamation
"I don't need your ride" I said
"No need?" Seo jin asked
"Alright hye jin, stop to be awkward or prestige in front of me"
"You must remember with our agreement that I still have responsibility for all your lives until you graduate college and get a job" he warned
"If you don't want to spend the night at my house, I'll take you home"
"B-but.." I said.
"Stop to get me to argue with kim hye jin, I'm just trying to fulfill the agreement we agreed on when I picked you up on hangan island" said seo jin firmly and went running inside to pick up the car keys
I was stunned to stand up to seo jin who ran into the house to retrieve his car keys
*********
seo jin and I just sat in silence while in the car, not a word came out of our mouths.just the sound of heavy rain and lightning striking each other
when I look outside the window of the car to reduce my feelings for seo jin who is driving, I feel, a blinding glint shocked me and immediately seo jin slammed the car's steering wheel to the right to avoid a fallen tree
"Yahoo!!!" I reflexively shouted as the car turned sharply all of a sudden
But thanks to seo jin's quick reflexes, the car I was riding managed to pass through a tree that suddenly fell due to heavy rain
"Haah.hahh.." My breath and the breath of seo jin hunt each other while being grateful that we survived the distress.
After a few seconds passed and began to calm down, seo jin began to look at me who was still expression tense and almost crying
"You okay, hye jin?" Seo jin asked
"Ania*(no).." I said slowly.
"Mian*(sorry) surprised you" said seo jin
I just realized that the forehead of seo jin who was on the right side was bleeding
I think his forehead was hit by the steering wheel of the car when the incident happened
"Seo jin-si" call me
"Miss?*(yes)" replied seo jin briefly
"Your forehead is bleeding" I said
He held his forehead and saw a blood splash on his palm
Seo Jin grimaced in pain as she realized that her forehead was injured. I reflexively immediately looked for my handkerchief inside the bag and attached it to seo jin's forehead. Seo Jin fell silent as my left hand was on her forehead
Without me realizing it, my face and seo jin's face were at such a close distance that it made me forget myself
Me and seo jin looked at each other, not a single word came out of our mouths as if only our inner instincts were talking
For a moment I realized that I still had feelings for seo jin, but I tried to hold those feelings as hard as possible so as not to appear on the surface and take over my body.
But...
I guess I was no longer able to hold back the feelings that I had in my heart, because I felt that this situation was very appropriate to express my feelings towards seo jin all this time
"Seo jin-si." call me
"I think I should say this to you" said I, who had lost my logic and the feeling of my heart taking over
"Naega..*(me..)" I said disconnected.
Luckily I still haven't said any silly words about how I felt about her because someone knocked on the car door all of a sudden
'Tok tok tok'
I was shocked when I saw someone wearing a black raincoat peering into the car
"I reflexively removed my hand from seo jin's forehead and handed my handkerchief to seo jin's palm
"Clean yourself the blood on your forehead" I said back to the ketus and managed to regain my sane mind
Seo Jin fell silent and immediately opened the car window to see someone knocking on the windshield
"Excuse me sir, mam" said a man who appeared to be a firefighter
"Are you guys okay?" He asked after seeing the tree that had just fallen and almost destroyed me and seo jin
"Just a little injury, but everything is fine" said seo jin
"Okay sir, I hope you're okay, but I hope you shouldn't drive in this weather" said one firefighter
"In a moment my rain will reach the end of the stanford hills" said seo jin explained
"Can the road ahead not be passed?" Seo Jin asked the firefighters on duty
"Sorry to make you uncomfortable in driving master, some trees have fallen due to extreme weather that should have entered winter" said the man with his athletic body
"We are evacuating several motorists who have been affected by extreme weather"
"If you are pleased, you should pass through a detour through several road blocks to arrive at the destination"
"And I hope you stay in your home and are not advised to drive until the next morning or until the rain and lightning stop" the fire department warned
After seo jin received some advice from the firefighters who were on duty to evacuate the driver who was in an accident, seo jin continued his journey to take me home to the apartment where I live
I think my selfishness tonight who does not want to stay at the seo jin house has a bad impact
My life was almost threatened by a tree that suddenly fell
If only the seo jin reflex was less responsive, maybe I was lying in the hospital with a cushion on the neck
Ow...
Enough is enough that I feel a cushion in my neck due to injury and can threaten my bone marrow
After driving carefully, seo jin and I finally arrived at the apartment parking building
I immediately got out of the car regardless of seo jin who was sitting beside me
"Hye jin-a" call seo jin who is still in the car with the engine running
I looked towards seo jin with a flat face
"Good rest" he said
"Hopefully sleep well" he said again
"Sorry to have surprised you when you were in the park earlier" said seo jin who seemed to regret the act that had surprised me and almost made me forget the impact of the fallen tree earlier
"Forget it!" My speech
"I almost forgot what you did in the park because of a fallen tree and almost made my life float" I told seo jin
"Thank God if you have forgiven me for my actions" said seo jin
Instantly me and seo jin were silent and only the sound of heavy rain I could still hear clearly in the parking building of this apartment
"Are you planning on spending the night in the parking lot?" I asked seo jin to get rid of awkwardness
"No, I'm going back home.."
"Yes!! Neo pabboya's!!*(hey!!. Are you stupid?!)" I screamed reflexively and made my voice echo in the parking lot
Seo Jin was surprised by my screams
"Didn't you hear what the firemen said?!" Shouted
"Do you have any other life savings if something happens to you while driving in extreme weather like this?" I sewot
"Just calm kim hye jin, I will drive slowly while looking around me.."
"Haah.I'm sick of this atmosphere" I said cutting seo jin's sentence.
Seo Jin clenched her lips together, afraid to feel that she had mispronounced and said something that offended me
"Yes!! Ahjussi*(hey uncle)" call me seo jin
"Have a good night in your own apartment building and don't harm yourself" I said flatly
"Have you forgotten I was hitching a ride in your apartment building huh?" Much
Again seo jin was silent with my words
"Kim hye - jin..."
"I don't want to make you uncomfortable because I'm next to you" said seo jin
"I will try to fulfill my promise to you not to show my face to you again" said seo jin, who discussed my request a year ago
"Damn.haha.."
"Aishh..This man really pisses me off" I muttered as I kicked the plastic trash of a drink bottle that seemed to be carried away by the wind from the rainstorm tonight
"Yes!!*(hey) stop talking about the past that I don't want to talk about at all"
"I don't want to tell you this twice"
"Stay at my place hitchhiking in your own apartment building"
"Although bitter but you are the main source of my finances at the moment"
"I don't want anything to happen to you because of this extreme weather"
"I'm graduating from college soon, so I hope you don't mess it up again and learn from the past that's messed up my education"
"If you crash and die for letting you drive tonight..."
"I'll regret it and my psychological therapy will automatically stop, if in the end I was in a mental hospital because I broke up doing therapy on the grounds that I didn't have money...."
"I'll make sure I kill myself by hanging myself and meeting you in hell" he said
Seo Jin swallowed her saliva after hearing my speech that was like an insane person
"The choice is in your hands sir, I will not force you" I said as I turned my body and was about to leave seo jin alone
"Wait for hye jin" said seo jin who seemed to have made up his mind
