Secret Room [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5

                People walked through the pavement, pass the rows of store. Yeonwoo continued to stare down of the second floor window of the café. She sipped on the iced mocha in front of her.

"Excuse me"

She turned around. A man in his mid-40 displayed his smile to her.

"Ms. Yeonwoo, what is it that you want to meet?" Mr. Jung asked. Yeonwoo cleared her throat before continue her speech. "Actually I'm really curious about the current tenant"

"He's quite mysterious. I don't know why I keep getting mysterious people as my tenant" he chuckled but she didn't give any reaction to him. He cleared his throat. "Well the thing is the new tenant is still a student and he lives there alone"

"Student?" "Yea. He'll be at the unit for hours but never spend the night there" "That's weird" "Maybe he uses that place to study" "Yea maybe. But ahjussi, can I get his number?" "Why?" "Well..." her pupil went around, trying to look for an answer.

"Oh! You want to talk to him about getting Yuchan's things again" he suggested. "Yes! You're right. I want to fix some time to meet him there"

"Okay okay" Mr. Jung quickly took out his phone and gave her the number.

"And this" he pushed an envelope to her. "The rent that you pay. I'm sorry for troubling you"

"Nah, it's okay. I understand" she smiled and took the envelope.

"Ahjussi" she called. Mr. Jung turned to her again.

"Do you by any chance know any secret passage in the apartment?" "Secret passage?" "Yea. Just asking because I notice some of Yuchan's things are missing the last time I visit. And the passcode of the unit. I'm the only who knows it. I thought maybe someone got into the unit from another way besides the door" "Oh I see. As long as I own the land for years, no. There no such thing as secret passageway. Maybe I should increase the security there"

"I see. Thank you" Yeonwoo ran her eyes out the window again, thinking.

Yeonwoo was walking up the paved road. It was night. Her mind went to a page of Yuchan's journal she just read again before head out.

5 October 2006

CHIP won't even say anything encouraging! I was drawing in the living room. He just came and just say... I really don't want to remember each of his words. It just makes me hate him more. He said something that really dispirited me. About my drawing. He put my interest down without thinking how I'll feel. I'll show him that my hobby is not what he said. I'll prove it to him.

********************************************************

"But he can't hate those boys just because of that" she sighed. "I know his limit. Maybe he heard that million times that it reaches his limit. I think I should blame myself for not trying to ask about his concern. How my ignorance can change someone into worse?"

"But CHIP? Looks like I have crack those codename in his journal"

"Hey guys~!" Yeonwoo appeared at the rooftop house. The boys who were already loitering at the yard of the rooftop unit. Her mouth agape in amazement.

Fairy light decorated the yard along with little colourful lantern that gave off comfortable vibe.

"Yeonwoo-yah~!" Sehyoon waved her over. "Yeah food!!!" Junhee got up and ran to Yeonwoo. "Welcome to our new fort!" Donghun displayed his greatest smile, his dimple can be seen.
