The last few weeks have been like a Korean drama with ups and downs. I became very sick and argued with my brother. I got to know a completely different, new side of my father. Zhan proposed to me. And my father died.

My mother didn't come to the hospital to take care of the funeral. And she didn't come to the funeral either. Although we left her several messages. Instead, she sold the house and just disappeared.

Zhan hired someone to find her. The same private detective who is supposed to find out what secret my mother is keeping and what it might have to do with my grandfather.

But first let's start with the funeral, or rather what was after. Zhan and I went to my parents' house to confront my mother about why she didn't come to her husband's funeral. My brother and Cheng were supposed to come, but then they had to go to Cheng's parents' house because his mother wasn't feeling well.

Well, anyway, Zhan and I arrived at my parents' house and found a big sign in the front yard, "Sold." I didn't know what to thought of it at first and ran to the front door. However, there was another name there.

A man who just came asked us why we were on his property. Zhan said, "Excuse me. This is my friend's parents' house and we are looking for his mother. We are all confused. May I ask when you bought the house?"

The new homeowner nodded and said, "I bought the house last week. The owner wanted to get rid of it quickly, so I was able to buy it very cheaply for me and my family. We paid for it right away. The only condition she had when she sold us the house so cheaply was that we take care of disposing of the furniture. But from the looks of it, she left everything behind. Furniture, appliances, clothes, just her whole household."

"Mhhh I see. When are you planning to move in with your family?" Wanted Zhan to know.

"Well, actually we were planning to move in next weekend. But I'll never be done cleaning out the house by then. And then, after all, the walls have to be painted. An electrician has to come. I don't know how I'm going to do it in a week and a half."

"We'd like to offer our help. If you'll allow it, we'll come back on Saturday with a truck and clean out the house with a few helpers."

"Really? That would be great." Replied the homeowner. Zhan and he discussed a few more details, then he let us into the house so we could get an overview.

I collected all the photo albums I could find. We also found important documents. And then I stood in my old room. It looked the same as it did when I had to leave it. Even my school books and notebooks were still on the desk.

Zhan told me he would be right back and that I should look around in peace. 20 minutes later Zhan was back with a van and two helpers. Colleagues from his work. They cleaned out my room with me and put everything in the van.

Only when my entire room was cleared out did I ask Zhan, "What do we do with it now?"

"We'll take it to a storage facility first. I guess we should rent several storage rooms. In one storage room, we could put all the documents so we can go through them one by one. In the other storage rooms, I guess like 3 of them, we will put the furniture. What you don't want to keep, we can sell." Said Zhan.

And so we did. We also called my brother, who also wanted to clear out his room himself. And before Saturday, two rooms were empty in the house, my room and my brother's room.

On Saturday, with the help of Zhan's colleagues, a few of Zhan's friends, as well as my brother, Cheng, Seungyoun and Wooseok, we had emptied the house in less than four hours and even swept and mopped it. We spread everything out in the storage rooms. And as Zhan said, we packed all the documents, every little paper into a Separate storage room.
