"Yah! aren't you the same stranger who keeps visiting this empty studio apartment?!" the old man screams.
I correct my mask and bow down to apologize. He was right. I kept visiting this empty studio apartment..... Chae Young's studio apartment.
Only if I hadn't forced her to get inside my car, only if I didn't drive that day, only if I paid attention to the road.... I wouldn't have lost her.
As I reach home, the maid rushes out and says, "I have to go to my child's school so I'm sorry but can you buy vegetables for today's dinner... I'll cook once I come back!"
I just nod and beckon her to leave.
Thirty minutes later someone bangs the main door. before I could even check who it was, the door begins to crack. I swiftly open the door and scowl at the stranger.
"Long time.... Mr. Kim Taehyung!" he says.
