Hana's POV

I really like to hang out on the balcony, because I don't like the atmosphere inside my apartment. I was listening to the music while reading when I heard someone. I looked at the balcony to the other side, which is in front of me. I didn't know someone was there. I removed my earphones because I just realized he's calling me.

"Hey" he said after I removed my earphones, "Hey, do you live there?" and he nodded, "Then that's good, I'm not lonely anymore" I said as I lean forward at the balcony barrier, "So you're a loner?" he asked as he chuckled, "Yeah, so what's your name?" I asked as I fixed my hair behind my ear, "Chwe Hansol, you can call me Vernon" he said as he smiled at me, "I'm Kim Hana, just call me Hana" I said as I smiled back.

"Oh no, the chicken— Uh, I'll be back, I forgot my food that I was cooking" I said as I rush to go inside. "No... my last chicken. You're so dumb Hana, how can you forgot that you're cooking something!?" I said to myself.

"Where's the food that you were cooking?" Vernon asked as he saw me again at the balcony, eating a cookie, "It got burn" I answered while spacing out, and I noticed that he was trying not to laugh, "What are you laughing at?" I asked, "Nothing, I thought you're going to cry just because your food burn" he said as he chuckled, "You're right, I really want to cry right now because it's my last chicken at the refrigerator" I said while finishing my last cookie and he just laughed at me.

It's already night so I decided to go back inside. While I was scrolling on my cellphone, I just realized that he looks familiar. Did we already meet? No it's impossible, I don't even remember bumping into him.

Next day, I hang out again at the balcony. "You're here at the balcony again. Do you really like to hang out here?" he asked and I nodded.

Months passed, I feel like I was already falling for him. No this can't happen, maybe I was just thinking that I already have a feelings for him because he's handsome.

I go at the balcony to greet him a good morning but he's not even there. I waited for him to go out, but he didn't appear.

It's already afternoon, but he's still not going out. I get my telescope since the curtain was open. I was not trying to be a stalker, I just really want to see him. The inside of the apartment was so dark, maybe he's not home.

I was on my way on my bedroom when I heard something at the balcony. When I open the door of the balcony, I see so many crumpled paper on the floor. "Hana" He called me, "Oh, Vernon... You startled me, I thought there's a ghost" I said as I chuckled, "I thought you're still not there" he said, "What do you mean?" I asked, "You're not answering me, I keep calling your name, and I also keep throwing those" he said as he pointed those crumpled paper using his lips, "But I'm here all day—"

"I need to sleep, goodnight Hana" he said as he smile before going inside.

Weird. I'm here all day. He also told me he keeps waiting for me at the balcony since morning.

I wake up early just to see him again, but he didn't appear again. "Where's is he again? Vernon are you there?" I asked, "Is he lyi— AH!"

"Hey! You startled me!" my sister shouted as she hits me, "You also startled me, why you're here without my permission?" I asked, "I just want to surprise you, but it looks like you don't want to see me" she said and walk away. I held her wrist to stop her, "Of course you're my sister so I want to see you, I'm just busy of something" I said, "Busy of something? You mean the balcony at the other side?" and I nodded, "Why? Is there a ghost inside that apartment?" she asked, "What? A ghost? Of course no" I answered.

While we're eating, I heard something again at the balcony, maybe it's Vernon again. I walk towards the balcony and I saw him. I waved at him and he waved back. I was about to open the door when my sister stopped me, "Who's that?" she asked, "Oh, it's Vernon. The one who's living at that apartment" I said, "Are you crazy!?"

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Hana, wake up to reality!" my sister shouted as she put her both hands on my face, "Hana, are you really okay? I'm sorry to tell you this but, the Vernon that you were talking about doesn't exist!"

"You're joking" I said as I chuckled, "You really need to go at mental hospital. If you don't believe me, go check it."

I checked the apartment immediately. Wait, how? How this happen? Vernon doesn't exist?

My sister walk towards me. "Here" she said as she handed me the book. Wait, this was the comic book that I was reading. I scan the book and I just realize that I'm totally crazy.

Vernon i just a comic character and I just keep imagining that he exist.
