With a sheepish smile spread all over his face, the straightbacked Dan Woo said,
“I can’t be the leader yet. Cancel the Duck Leader. Kim Ji An is just a quack quack.”
Ji An spread out the blanket and bragged loudly.
“I was totally tense thinking it was our first kiss.”
“Cough. Choke.”
Dan Woo, who had coughed out of surprise, looked down at Ji An, bewildered.
Holding a mug with red stains left on the floor, he headed towards the sink and asked her.
“Why aren’t you scared?”
“To hear that from you here.”
“Just in case something like this happens next time, doubt first. What are you trusting to live with a stranger in a house, and for a month?”
It might have been reckless.
The weather of that day, the air of that day. And Mr. Woo Dan Woo, you and I of that day.
Ji An pulled her pillow, buried her head deeply, and opened her mouth.
“Be careful too. If you have valuables, hide them now. Despite appearances, I’m a repeat offender of nocturnal flight.”
She pulled the blanket and added.
“I’m going to sleep now. I should dream of good dreams.”
Don’t people usually say, ‘Have a good dream?’
Such a tastetargeting manner that perfectly sidesteps expectations.
Pretending to be indifferent, Dan Woo checked the flames of the wall heater and sat on the floor filled with cold air.
He was holding a tablet, but the report on Japan’s large bookstore didn’t get read.
Like being pulled by someone, his gaze turned to Ji An.
Her back was steadily moving. She seemed to have fallen asleep.
Leaning against the wall, Dan Woo murmured softly.
“Don’t live trying too hard.”
Dan Woo’s voice scattered above Ji An’s head.
The road where snow had piled up was restored by the snow removal operation overnight.
Tae Yoon returned home as soon as the road was cleared. He was with a boiler repair specialist.
Crossing the courtyard, stepping on the snow piled up softly, he pressed the password for the door lock.
Pulling the handle, he bowed his head to the repairman, indicating that he should wait for a moment.
“Dan Woo….”
Seeing his boss asleep, leaning against the wall with his arms tucked in front, Tae Yoon trailed off his words.
He shook Dan Woo’s shoulder, looking at Ji An sleeping on the mattress.
“Mr. Woo Dan Woo.”
Dan Woo opened his eyes slightly.
Because part of his consciousness was awake, his face was neatly organized without distortion.
“Where’s the repairman?”
“He came with me.”
It was a thing to go up to the second floor bedroom when Ji An’s breathing was steady.
But, what for.
Especially.
Why had he fought a long night, even choosing a spot where his face could be seen?
Tae Yoon glanced at Ji An and then turned his gaze towards the entrance.
“The repairman is waiting outside.”
“Let him in. I’ll wake her up.”
Dan Woo placed his hand on Ji An’s small shoulder and shook it lightly.
“Kim Ji An.”
“……”
“Ji An.”
“……Ha Joon. ……Why from the morning?”
“Go find Ha Joon in Seoul. The landlord brought a boiler repairman. Wake up now.”
“Oh! Right.”
Ji An, who recognized the existence of Dan Woo, opened her eyelids.
People’s habits are really scary. No matter how sleepy.
Raising her upper body, she combed her tousled hair with her hand.
Ji An, who wrapped her hair round and round, putting it on the crown of her head and winding it with a rubber band, finished her bun.
Dan Woo snickered as her white neck was exposed.
“It’s quick.”
“Just like this. It’s as easy as eating cold rice.”
Whether it was the sight of her digging in with a spoon or the sight of her quickly rolling her hair up into a bun, it was equally ticklish.
Dan Woo’s head tilted slightly.
As Dan Woo got closer, Ji An pushed him away, pressing her palm against his forehead.
The repetition of Dan Woo getting closer, then being pushed away, and getting closer again continued.
Ji An asked in anger.
“Why?”
“Weren’t you cold?”
Ji An looked at one side of the mattress without a blanket or a pillow. There was no sign of him having slept.
She was about to ask, but instead answered.
“I was warm, thanks to the mat.”
Dan Woo asked, patting the carbon mat with his palm.
A thing that wasn’t necessary for him seemed to be necessary for Ji An.
“This. You use it.”
“It’s not yours, it’s the landlord’s.”
“Then I’ll have to ask for a new one.”
Tae Yoon, who had been standing in front of the utility room, muttered low, watching Dan Woo’s actions.
“What are you doing with someone else’s stuff?”
Tae Yoon felt strange at the sight of Dan Woo playing around with Ji An.
The night the house caught fire, Dan Woo didn’t return. By the time they reunited with a phone call from America, it was no longer the Woo Dan Woo he knew. But today, he seemed different somehow.
Dan Woo, who had approached Tae Yoon, asked in a low voice.
“Why are you looking so tenderly? Why? Did you miss me overnight?”
“It’s like seeing the old you.”
“Me?”
“Yes. The affectionate Woo Dan Woo.”
Tae Yoon continued talking, showing a smile to Ji An in the living room.
“I arranged to meet the previous owner today.”
“As expected! Mr. Woo, you’re capable.”
“What should I do?”
“Meet briefly where there’s no one and go straight to the police station.”
Dan Woo added, wrapping his arm around Tae Yoon’s shoulder and looking into the utility room.
“Don’t worry. I’m only going to talk a few words.”
When Ji An entered the bedroom and turned on her mobile phone, a list of missed calls from her mother appeared.
The main reason she had turned off her phone was because she didn’t like her mother’s calls.
She searched for real estate information and then pressed the call button.
‘Maybe it’s okay to live apart from Ha Joon since it’s come to this?’
I’m not a swan that’s fallen among ducks, but it doesn’t matter.
It’s true that I’ve bothered Ha Joon by telling him I’m alone in Korea.
Now, everything was clear to Ji An.
Indeed, her pathetic and petty excuse.
A friendly voice came over the phone with a click.
Yes, this is Happy Real Estate.
After hanging up the phone, Ji An stared at the black screen and mulled over the conversation.
Really? We just happen to have a tenant waiting. It’s hard to find a place like this. It’s a perfect match.
‘Really?’
She didn’t know it could be solved so easily.
But Ji An comforted her uneasy mind.
It’s okay. It’s actually a good thing.
Happy Officetel 902 will change owners. Because the luggage has already been removed, the process seemed to go more smoothly.
