She got up and tried to wear the sweater, she sighed in stress when she wasn't able to.
Already being frustrated she harshly took the sweater and wore. She heard his chuckle.
She closed her eyes and sighed, she bite her lower lip to calm herself and then she went to counter, paid and left.
Then kang-mi entered the shop and then began to work.
Kang-dae left after seeing her,
He got a call from one of his friend, he was getting in the car, then saw Soo-ah standing very far, around her the ghosts, Soo-ah was closing her ears through her palm while those ghosts were trying to talk to her.
It looks like she don't want to hear them but in actual she's just not trying to hear that man, but who is that man?
He then answered the phone and was passing by her.
He was watching her until he passed by her, she was far from a 20 metres, then she began to look around, then she looked at the car and him.
She also found it was, then continued talking to the man she was talking,
He left, she saw at the car after the car passed by her, then again she looked around and just continued talking.
How will you report? You haven't even kept a name for it, you just found it in your hometown.
Dong-ho who's already married with a baby, he was the one who helped her to get adjusted in Seoul when she first time came to seoul.
If you're not going to help me, then I'll do it myself.
Just move on, that's why I had said you not to get attached to a dog too much, it will leave one day.
What should I do then? You'll also leave on day, will you say your wife not to love you?
Are you comparing me to a dog?
Oppa.
Just then gang-tae came out scratching his back.
You still haven't found him?
She then said to dong-ho,
I came to you because i don't know what to do.
Don't do you dare cry now.
She was just holding her breathe trying not to cry.
I will think about it, just go inside.
She then kicked his ass,
He groaned and just entered his house and closed the door and yelled
I won't help you, how dare you kick me?
Yeah, you're of no use.
While gang-tae yawned and left saying,
What a nice day to have soju.
She then ruffled her hairs and turned and saw kang-mi,
She just startled seeing her,
What?
She asked with frustrated voice.
Boss is calling.
Say him that I quit the job.
Okey.
Then kang-mi was leaving then Soo-ah called her,
If you see a black dog with small..
But kang-mi just left without letting Soo-ah finish.
What's wrong with her? Did i do something to her? Why is nothing going on well today?
She went home and then looked at the bowl which was for dog,
She then took it and then came to the dong-ho's house and threw it at the door.
Then she came back and slept in her house.
I will not look for you ever again.
Then the ghosts were replying her and tried talking to her but as always she just ignored them.
She then thought about her grandfather.
It was 12 in the night, since kang-dae promised to stay with kang-mi,
He came home at 12.
Just then, he had to pass by Soo-ah's house,
He saw her sitting down near her house.
She was looking up at the sky.
He chuckled at the way she was crying, he looked around, there were some ghosts, but the whole Street was empty, she was all alone.
He then parked his car, then was about to go inside his house, but then he glanced at Soo-ah once more, he sighed and shrugged off and left inside.
It began to bother him to ignore her, the only thing that was coming in his head,
Why is she out alone? On top of that she's drunk.
Soo-ah was just laughing looking at the sky.
You also just look like me.
She was talking to the sky.
Get up.
Kang-dae said, who was standing front of her,
Then Soo-ah looked around after looking at him,
She continued looking at the sky,
He thought alot and sat beside her.
She began to distance herself from him, it was just her reflex after having experiences with others.
He understood her and distanced himself from her.
Then she kept watching the sky,
She layed her head on the wall,
I didn't even keep him a name.
She sighed.
Since she just murmured he didn't hear it.
Do you know why I'm watching the sky?
Why?
I want it to rain today.
Really?
But why was I thinking about you?
Her honest voice, she then held her mouth in embarrassment, she is meant to hide well, but she talked her feelings out.
Watching her made kang-dae chuckle.
But he actually felt butterflies in his stomach, he didn't even know.
Kang-mi was watching him from far, she let him be with her since he looked very comfortable with her.
Why do you want it to rain?
She then being imbalanced fell back and then he went to her to help but she got up herself and sat.
Does water get hurt too? Falling from such a height?
He looked at her with tired full eyes, since he was tired of the work and he was just wanted to lay down.
That's why I want it to rain.
He looked at her with sarcastic eyes.
Then it will be sure that I'm not the only one.
What?
Whenever it's rains, now it reminds me of you.
What does remind you of me?
You looked like my dog, now if i think of you it reminds me of my dog.
He closed his eyes in stress.
She laughed for some seconds, suddenly she stopped, looking like a psycho.
I'm not even mood of laughing now.
She then just sat quiet, he was thinking of a way to get her inside and make her sleep.
Do you know why I gave you attention?
Because I resemble your dog.
He said in stress, she shook her head and laughed, then hit his shoulder.
Close your eyes.
He then did.
what do you feel?
Nothing.
She then hit his shoulder, he held his shoulder and looked at her disgusting.
What does it feel?
He asked her.
It's totally silent.
So?
That is it.
What?
That is why I gave you attention.
He didn't understand her at all.
She looked at his confused face.
You won't get it.
She then turned front and held her cheek down resting on her knees.
It must be really hard for you to sleep.
He just looked at her with questioning eyes.
What do you mean?
Don't keep it in your heart too much, or else your heart will get rotten up.
Kang-mi just stayed quiet.
If it gets too hard, rely on someone.
Why are you saying it to me?
Don't buy them again.
What?
Sleeping pills.
How did you know?
You can find me here, whenever it's hard for you, You can come to me, I'll be there for you.
Saying that she got up all of the sudden.
He turned back to her, but she was not there.
She went inside and just threw herself on bed.
The door was open.
Then he took the all the bottles and threw them in dustbin.
He then stood at the door for few minutes recollecting whatever she said, then he heard her,
But I won't care you until you ask me to.
He then closed the door, but then saw so many ghosts around him.
He left from there.
After when kang-mi saw him coming she headed inside,
She sat on the chair,
He came inside and was about to head to sleep but then saw kang-mi,
Oppa,
Why are you still up?
Why were you with her?
Kang-mi, ask mom if I ever had listened to her before. I didn't stop talking to her because of you, it was because of me.
Why are you being like this?
I thought she is coming closer to me, but if I think about it I am the one who is getting closer to her.
He thought.
Don't forget that I said you not to interfere in my life at the first day itself.
Then he took the keys
Where are you going?
Why do you want?
He then came out and turned on the car and left from there.
He went to his house and then looked everywhere,
How did she find out that i was using sleeping pills?
Then later,
Where did i keep them?
What are you searching?
Sleeping pills.
She took those with her so that he won't find them.
He then ruffled his hairs.
I will tell why I cared you so much.
Okey tell.
Once, I got hit on head, there used to be my friend, who used to stay and take care of me. He was just like a parent to me. After I lost him, no one in world even knew me, no one in the world gave attention to me, i just felt like whole earth was foreign to me, just felt like I will never find him again, after a long time, there I met someone who yelled at me because I was almost getting hit by a car, he even though was a stranger but he's still someone who cared when no one did, i realised wow, this is what it feels like? That's what I thought with you, if you're having hard day, I should stay by your side, I might be someone whom you can rely on, just like how i couldn't get anyone to rely on. I want to do my best for you not to feel like me.
Kang-dae nodded and said,
You must have been having hard time then.
I just wish I had a parent who cared if i am having an umbrella when it's raining. The more I think, the more it feels like I'm being desperate of having someone.
He then hoped she will find someone one day.
Then he said,
But get used to it, don't try to rely on someone but just rely on yourself. Try to live strongly by yourself. One day you'll be proud that you did it, you lived well all by yourself.
She smiled.
She later looked at him,
What if it's too hard?
Still you have yourself.
She nodded and then got up,
I know you're here because i am alone on street at night, don't worry everyone here are still awake, can you see that monkey man on rooftop glaring at you?
Then he saw as she pointed, he got up as soon as he realised he was been watched by someone.
Alright then, I will leave.
Kang-dae went to sleep but heard jae-jun saying,
I am surprised today, we accidentally meet out eyes, it clearly felt like she's looking at me.
Kang-dae didn't give any attention to him and just laid down.
Jae-jun was talking continuosly while kang-dae took his wallet out and looked at the photocard.
His heart still pains whenever he sighs, he closed his eyes.
He tried to look for a reason why he's not able to sleep.
There was none.
It wasn't because of that girl he used to love.
Nor it was because of his family and friends.
It was because of his heavy heart, when you're sad without any reason, you can't sleep easily.
He then thought of the words jung-ho said,
Did i really change into bastard? Must be, I'm avoiding them because I might become bastard to them. Right I'm doing right. I should avoid everyone.
The next day~~
Soo-ah didn't remember whatever she had said to him.
She woke up and came out as usual,
She stretched her body, she doesn't even remember that she had conversation with him.
As everyday she cleaned her house, everything began to feel lonely to her since ever she lost the dog.
She then went to have breakfast and then went to work,
While kang-dae got a call from his manager at 8 am. He usually be in office by 7:00 am.
But he was still asleep at 8 am.
Is there any important meeting today?
No. But today, you said you would go to art exhibition.
Wait wasn't it on 12th January?
Yeah, today it's 12th January.
What?
Everyone are excited to celebrate your birthday. I think you have to be here.
But he was wanted to sleep more and that was when he realised its his birthday.
I'll come at 10.
The call ended.
Then he saw so many messages in the chat list.
He was not wanted to celebrate.
He then was wanted to sleep but already his sleepy mood got away as he was thinking about work.
He got up and saw kang-mi studying in early morning,
Do you want me to help in cooking?
I have already cooked.
He nodded
You know, I need help, a guy from your school, juwon,
