The blue clouds covered the mountains from a distance while a thin layer of snow could be seen on the forest trail. The air felt cold and refreshing, smelling of pine and snow. It was a nice and comfortable scent, making it ideal for a slow walk.

Alighting from the bus, Lisa looked around until she spotted a stone path. Following the path for 10 minutes, Lisa saw the grey-ish green roof of a European styled cottage. Ever since she could remember things, she had always seen this cottage at the outskirt of the hillside.

Despite the fact that twenty years had passed, this cottage didn't feel outdated at all even when compared to the modern infrastructure nowadays. This cottage have been left unoccupied for the past few years and there were even rumours that it was a haunted house.

Lisa had believed it when she was younger, since the house was always sitting alone amidst the darkness at the outskirt of the hillside. It was only when she got older then she learnt the truth. It turned out the truth was just the owner of the house had went overseas with the son when his wife passed away.

However the house that stood in front of Lisa was now different from her memory. This cottage was given a fresh coat of paint and she could see the lights shinning from inside, the weeds surrounding the cottage was also pulled out.

Lisa was a fourth year student student majoring in English. The reason she was here today was because her middle school teacher had introduced a part time translator job to her after knowing that she was on holiday. Although the pay was rather good, her teacher had mentioned that this employer was very picky. This employer had rejected all of the previous applicants that her teacher had referred.

Removing her gloves, Lisa knocked on the front door. A man who looked to be in twenties, wearing a thin sweater with black trouser greeted her. He was tall, thin and had delicate features.

"Lisa?" He asked giving her a cheeky smile.

Lisa's cheeks were red from the coldness. Her breath came out in a white mist and her eyes were slightly wet. "Yes, I'm Lisa. Nice to meet you."

"Come in." The man stepped aside to let Lisa enter.

Layers of dark purple curtains lined the window, there were large velvet couches with curved backrest. At the corner of the house, Lisa saw a fireplace with logs in it. This felt very much like a typical European styled cottage. At the side of the house, a deep brown wooden staircase led up to the second floor which was really quiet as though there wasn't anyone.

The only thing that felt out of place in this cottage was the metal railings that were fitted on the windows, not allowing much sunrays to come into the house. With his sleeves rolled up, the man washed his hands before handing a cup of tea to Lisa and gestured for her to sit down. When he sat down opposite her, Lisa caught a very faint but familiar scent from him. A scent which Lisa couldn't quite remember where she had it smell before.

The man gave Lisa a friendly smile, "I'm Jimin and the owner of this house is called Jeon Jungkook. We are currently looking for a translator to translate his English documents in Korean."
