Secret Room [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3

                Yeonwoo stepped onto the first floor of the apartment. "I'm lucky he didn't rent on higher floor. There's no lift here" she sighed, exhausted.

She stepped through the hallway with a few empty boxes in her grip. *Maybe I should just collect his stuff and move them tomorrow morning* She glanced at the passcode in her grip and looked through each door to look for the unit Yuchan had rent. The landlord's voice came into her mind for a while.

"He comes here quite often. But once he's in the house, he never goes out. Maybe he's too tired with work that he need some place alone to rest. He said he need to rent here because it's close to his grilfriend's place. He's quite mysterious, the neighbours said. But to me, he's just okay. He smiles a lot when we met each other. It's unfortunate that he need to left before us"

She stopped in front of a unit numbered 105. "Yea maybe he need some place for him to be alone"

"Tell me about it" Donghun continued to eat. "Maybe he need some space to keep his stuff away from the house. Or us" he whispered the last two words.

"But why did Donghun said like that?" she pushed the door open and paused. Yuchan's sneakers were laid carelessly at the doorsteps.

Yeonwoo covered her mouth as she sobbed silently. "Yuchan-ah" she whispered. For a moment, she couldn't move. Yeonwoo chuckled. "Mian, Yuchan. I should stay strong, right?" she sighed and wiped her tears away. "Yah, this place is so like you, Yuchan. How many times do I have to nag you about putting your things neatly?"

The door was closed and she entered the living room. The boxes were put on the floor. She looked around. The house has not much furniture. Only a coffee table, a sofa with a floor lamp in living room. Books and papers laid carelessly on the coffee table. She stepped into the kitchen that only have a heater and a microwave. A small melancholic smile appeared on her face as she saw the stack of ramen bowls on the small dining table. "I told you many time to come to my home if you're hungry, didn't I?" She went to the veranda. She bent down to the floor where a colouring book and sketch book was beside the wall. Colour pencil scattered around them. She smiled as she went through the sketching book. "So here's the place that relax yourself and do everything that you like" She stopped at a familiar sketching.

-Flashback-

Yeonwoo saw Yuchan from afar at the park bench. She smirked and tip toed to him. He was too immersed into drawing with a smile on his lips.

"Yuchan!" she jumped in front of him that made him jolted in surprise. "Yah, Yeonwoo! You almost give me heart attack" he nagged. She giggled. "What are you drawing?" she reached out for the sketch book but he took it away. "Nothing. Just something I think beautiful. You can't see it"

"Why?" "It's not finish yet" "C'mon, Yuchan. Let me take a look" "Ani" Yuchan moved a bit far from her. "Yah" she tried to take it again but he held it away. He laughed. "I'll show you once I finish it"

"I want to see it now" "Okay okay" he held out the sketch book to her.

"Woah!" she gasped. He was trying to draw her picture who was smiling brightly.

Yuchan looked away with his hand scratched the back of his neck. His face grew red. "I told you I'm drawing something beautiful"

-End of flashback-

Yeonwoo stared at the picture of her drawn by Yuchan. "Yuchan-ah, you're the best"

She dropped a box on the floor of a room. "Let's see what do we have in here" She stood again and pushed the closet open. A few clothes were hung there. She began to take them out and fold it nicely. "Aigo we really gonna miss him so much" She folded his favourite white hoodie. "I really like to him in this" she smiled as she held the hoodie up. "What the" her finger went to the holes at the bottom edge of the hoodie. "How can this get torn?"
