Chapter 12

Babysoul's POV

Just when I thought this day is going to be over and done as soon as I get home, I thought wrong all along. The wind started to blow like a mad cow and the rain poured even harder.

"You're not going to send me home at this rate, are you?" Sungkyu asked, suggesting for some conscience.

I sighed heavily to signal him my annoyance.

"Fine, but go home when the weather is better," I said. We dropped off the car and ran to my apartment.

As soon as I entered, I noticed my bag was already home. Jin must have carried it back earlier. I looked for my phone and called Jin immediately.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Where were you?" she questioned back. I looked at Sungkyu who sat at the center of the room. The nerve! He opened the TV and watches like this is his house!

I sighed. "Long story."

"Hey... our boss marked you AWOL. You know the company policy, you'll get fired if you get one."

"Oh my!" I just exclaimed. "I'm fired?"

"I'm so sorry!" Jin exclaimed on the other line. "I tried to reason with our boss but he took it against me."

"What do you mean?" I asked though I know some hints something happened.

"He also fired me," she said in a joyful voice.

"What? Oh my Gosh! Jin, I'm so sorry!" I apologized. How could that wicked old fart fire Jin too!

"No, it's okay! You know I don't really like our job. Plus! I already have a new job! I work at a family restaurant and its really amazing here," he exclaimed excitedly on the other line.

"Good for you. I'm glad, at least."

"Anyway, I can't go home tonight. You heard about the storm? This family didn't allow me to go home because of it. I also heard the streets are already flooded." Then I heard someone talking on the background.

"Hey, I have to go they are already calling me-" she said.

"Jin! Wait-" but it was too late, the line went off.

I forgot to tell her Sungkyu is at our apartment! And I'm fired from my only job.I looked blankly at my phone.

What should I do?

"Yah! Aren't you going to cook something to eat?" he asked while his eyes are glued on the TV

In my frustration, I took a tissue roll and threw it in his head.

"Weh?" he asked. "Don't forget you are still my servant!"

Sungkyu's POV

She's fired.

All throughout her conversation with Jin, I listened well.

I felt, guilty.

I really didn't mean anything to happen like this.

When the call ended, I looked at her and she was looking at her phone blankly not doing anything.

She is not that type that tells her problems with anyone else. She tends to keep it to herself. Atleast, that's how she 'was'. I don't know now.

But I guess she's still the same.

And mostly, what I always do before when she is being like this is to divert her attention like teasing her until she laughs or gets pissed.

Well for now, maybe pissing her would do.

"Yah! Aren't you going to cook something to eat?" I said as I return back to watching TV.

Later, I felt something hitting my head.

"Weh?" I asked. Success! She's pissed! "Don't forget you are still my servant!" I said as I smile at myself.

Babysoul's POV

"Later!"

I shouted at him. I wanted to take a bath already and changed my clothes! I went into my closet and looked for clothes and then went into the CR mumbling. How could this person sit there and just watch TV like nothing happened! For his information, I was morally defamed and fired in the same day! And there he is acting like a boss.

Still, with so many thought, I took a bath. I thought about all the things that happened today. I got rejected from my impromptu audition, I got fired from my only job left, what's next?
I just wish everything is going to be alright.

After taking a bath and removing all the dirt of this day, I was going to dry myself with a towel when I realized, I forgot to bring in my towel! I only brought clothes!

I thought if I will just wear my clothes without drying myself, my clothes will get wet!'Ah. Chincha. If only Jin was here'. I waited so my body would dry on its own but it's really getting cold and I can't endure it anymore.

After contemplating hard, I gathered strength and called Sungkyu.

"Hey there!" I shouted.

"Why? You want me to join you in the shower?" he asked.

I closed my eyes and ignored what he said.

"Would you please hand me over my towel? It's hanged near the door!" I shouted.

"You purposely left your towel right? Are you trying to seduce me?" I heard him say. Ah chincha that guy. Seriously! He needs some spanking.

Again I ignored him and calmed myself. I might get out of the bathroom naked to give him the spanking he deserves.

"Here!" I heard him say from the other side of the door.

"Close your eyes!" I warned before opening the door. I hid my body at the door and peeped my head.

"Yah! You're not closing your eyes!" I shouted at him.

"There's nothing to see anyway!" he said boredly!

"Ah! Kim Sunggyu!!" I grabbed the towel from him and closed the door forcedly. He is seriously consuming my patience.

"Thanks!" he shouted.

I smirked.

Finally, I put on my clothes and went out of the bathroom. Sungkyu is back at his position earlier watching TV. I went to him and pushed his head.

"Ouch!" he complained. "Why!?"

"Pervert!" I shouted at him!

"What! I didn't do anything to you!"

I grumbled and went to the mini kitchen and looked for food. I didn't have anything other than ramyun. I boiled water and then cooked it.

"Ah! I'm so hungry! Hurry hurry!" Sunggyu complained like a kid.

"Yeah yeah!" I nodded.

Sunggyu set up the mini table. I placed the ramyun in the center.I brought out some kimchi and left over rice and we started eating. Good thing he didn't complain about the food.We ate it like it's the most delicious food in the world. We even fought over the small piece that was left which made me feel nostalgic again. Argg..those memories.

After eating, I washed the dishes of course.

"You already ate so I think, its best for you to go home," I said as I went into the door and opened it widely. To my surprise, a strong wind came and drops of rain splashed at me and inside the house. The strong wind blew my hair and it's so cold that made me shiver. I tried to ignore that and stood there still holding the door.

"Ah this girl," Sungkyu mumbled then he went to the door and pulled it from me. He closed it.

"Aish, you see. You got yourself wet. What if you'll get sick!" he said like he's out of his mind. He brushed off the rain from my hair with his hands. I was shocked in my place with his sudden kind gesture. And when he was to brush the drops in my shoulder, he looked into my eyes, and we were both stopped.

Then he did it harshly. "Urgg! You are really heartless," he said going back to his rude self. "How am I supposed to go home in this weather? What if I met an accident on the road? What will happen to my beloved Inspirits?" he dramatized. "I'm going to sleep here," he declared.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine! Fine!"

WE ROLLED the foam. I have no choice but to share it to him because I only have one. Jin and I share it. I piled my teddy bear and a stack of pillows between us.

"Don't you ever cross this line!" I warned.

"Why should I? Dream on," he answered. Whoah! This egoistical human. He is really full at himself! I smirked at him and went into bed.

Now were both lying on the bed we made up.

"Turn off the lights," he commanded.

I rolled and turned my back at him.

"You turn off the lights," I responded.

"Turn off the lights. I don't know where the switch is."

I turned to him and pointed my hand to the switch. "See that? That's the switch. You're nearer so please close it?" I asked.

"Do it. I'm tired," he said.

"Aish chincha!" I exclaimed. I was about to get up when the lights suddenly turned off! And it was followed by a lighting and a strong thunder!

"What the heck!" he exclaimed.

"Now, the lights are off. So stop bothering me," I said. He remained silent.

Later, he asked, "Are there ghosts here?"

I fought hard not to laugh at him. "Actually," I said in a creepy voice. "...we have lots. There's one. We call her bloody Anna. Because she's holding a doll like Annabelle. During the nights, you'll hear her walking and-

"LEE SUJEONG-SHI!" he threatened.

"Why? You don't like my story? But I want to tell you more about bloody anna-

"I want to sleep already!" he cut.

I smiled in my space. Maybe he won't bother me again.

Sunggyu's POV

I'm not really afraid of ghosts. But considering this old rotten apartment which I presumed a lot of people have occupied already, you don't know its history! What if someone already encountered a horrible death here!?

And the light turning off just like that!

"Yah! Are you already sleeping?" I asked Babysoul.

There was no answer. I reached for her head and moved it. Still, there was no answer. I shook her more.

"Aish! I'm trying to sleep here!" she complained. "Okay Okay. There's no ghost. The lights went out probably because of the storm! It's brownout! Happy? Now let me get my sleep!"

Silly me. Why didn't I thought of brown out?

Long moments passed by. Now, I feel more comfortable thinking there are no ghosts.

Babysoul moved in her space. Now where both facing the ceiling. I don't know if she's already asleep.

"Babysoul?" I called her attention softly.

"Mmm?" she mumbled. I was quite surprised she answered.

"Mianhe," I said.

After a long while, "Eo," she answered. Finally, I finally let out the guilt feeling that have been bugging me for all the things that have happened today.

BAbysoul's POV

"Babysoul?" I heard him say softly.

"Mmm?"

"Mianhae," he said. I don't exactly know what he is sorry off. But maybe, he is sorry of what happened this day. Sometimes, I don't really understand Sungkyu. He loves ordering me around and pestering me and then later he'll act kindly and even say sorry.

Maybe, he became bipolar? Back to those days, he was really kind, caring and sweet. And now, I don't know.

Nonetheless, I felt the sincerity of his apology.

"Eo." I answered.

Maybe it's time I say sorry too?

"Sungkyu?" I called out.

"Mmm?"

"Mianhae..."I said.

"...for... for not showing up that day..." I continued. I hope he knows what I'm talking about.

There was a long silence.

"Eo," he finally said. I teared up. Finally, I got to say it and he accepted it.

I closed my eyes.

Maybe, tonight, I can finally sleep tight.

Sungkyu's POV

I stayed wide awake. Just staring at the ceiling, waiting for the lighting to light it up, listening to the howl of the wind outside, the thunder and the pouring rain.

I'm full of thoughts of what happened today and Babysoul saying sorry. Did I just accepted her apology? Have I really moved on?

I analyzed my feelings... Maybe? Maybe it's one of the reason why I want to help her with her dreams? The reason why I felt guilty when she's in pain?

Later, I felt Babysoul move. She faced me and hugged the teddy bear and the pillow between us.

"Babysoul?" I asked but there was no response.

I move in my space and faced her.

Only the lighting aided me to see her sleeping face. She looks peaceful giving my heart a familiar churn.

I fell in deep thoughts. Why am I feeling this way? I can't feel the anger I've always known and the revenge I've always formulated melted. I'm known as a guy who keeps grudges. But seeing her in pain makes me feel bad.

I extended my arm and remove the hair that fell on her face.

And then I held her hand that was placed on top of the bear and closed my eyes.

Whatever this feeling I have, I must stop it. Maybe the hate is gone, but that doesn't mean I can trust her again right?

But just for tonight, can I hold your hands like this and just forget the past and the future?

Babysoul's POV

I woke up with the light coming from the window. I stretched my arms as I thank God for another day. It seems the weather have already settled. And then, I realized, Sungkyu was with me last night. I looked at the space beside me and he is not there anymore.

I guess he must have gone already. I can't explain but I feel a little disappointed. I should be thankful right? No one will destroy my morning?

But somehow...I don't know.

He really pisses me off a lot and he could really hit my nerves but I can't bring myself to hate him. After all the things he has done and cost me the past weeks since we saw each other again didn't really made me completely angry at him.

Again, I don't know.

I sighed and stood up then I saw a note in the table. It says,

'You're debts are forgiven. You don't have to pay me anymore. Let's begin from the start.'

I'm happy that I'm free of debt but what really made me smile is the last sentence.

Let's begin from the start.

I don't know what that means but I hope it's something good.
