Jong Hoon didn't go to church. He didn't believe in any supernatural being. 'God? Who is God?' That was what he always thought. But Jong Hyun and Eomeoni always went to church unlike him. This day was a Sunday and he would drop them off to the church every Sunday, but he never went inside.
Jong Hoon's point of view
Eomeoni asked me to carry the bag of fruits she brought for the pastor. At first, I hesitated since I don't believe in any god. But the bag was too heavy and I had no choice but to carry it. So I did carry the bag and brought it inside. It had been ages since I had last been to a church before. My mom was a devoted church worker and so, I used to go to church a lot when I was young. But ever since my mom died, I never went to church before. 'God? What a big joke. If God exists, why did he let my mom die?'
As I was lost in my thoughts, I spotted a familiar woman. That brown hair, those eyes, that smile seem so familiar to me.
"Eomeoni, I'll get going." I said right away when I realized who it was.
Sol's point of view
On Sundays, Eomma, Byeol and I always go to church. The church was a bit far from our house but we don't mind going there. Just as Eomma and one of her close friends named Oh Chae Sook were talking, I spotted a familiar man. That hair, that turtleneck, those eyes. They tell me I know well who this man is.

Just when Jong Hoon was about to leave, Sol called him. "Y-yang-gyosunim?" That made him stop walking.
"You know my son?" Jong Hoon's eomeoni asked.
"He's your son? He used to be my daughter's professor." Sol's eomma replied.
"What a small world." His eomeoni commented. Then Jong Hoon turned back to them.
"Eomeoni, I'll get going." He didn't dare to look at Sol A.
"Jong Hoon-ah, I didn't know this young woman used to be your student. She's also the pretty and kind young woman who helped me before. Don't you think it's a sign that you should start going to church again?"
"But, Eomeoni..."
"Gyosunim, I think you should stay, at least for today."
Knowing that those words came from her, he agreed at last. Sol was beside Byeol. On Byeol's left was Jong Hyun. On Jong Hyun's left was Sol's mom. On Sol's mom's left was Jong Hyun's eomeoni. And Jong Hoon was beside Jae Hoon. "I didn't know it was just Sol who could convince you to go to church again." His eomeoni whispered to him during the service.
"Me too, hyung." Jae Hoon teased him. He glared at him.
After a few minutes, they all stood up and sang. The prosecutor-turned-professor couldn't take his eyes off Sol while she was singing. 'Gwiyeobda' He thought.

"Ehem, ehem. Someone's smiling." Jae Hoon whispered to Jong Hoon, teasing him. He stepped on his foot.
"Ouch!" Jae Hoon screamed and everyone looked at him.
"Hyung, I didn't even say it was you!" He screamed again.
After the service, Jong Hoon was about to go and get the car. Jong Hyun and Eomeoni were still inside waiting. W
hile he was walking, Sol approached him.
"Gyosunim." He turned to her and she gave him his coat. "Gomapseumnida, Yang-gyosunim." For no reason, his heart was beating so fast. He wanted to say she didn't have to thank him. But he didn't and he couldn't. They were just staring at each other. 'Why do you keep staring at me with those eyes? Those eyes, those eyes are dangerous for my heart.' He thought. After around 10 seconds, he looked away and opened his car door to put their things.
"Aish, my nose is bleeding again." Sol sighed. When Jong Hoon heard her, he panicked. He immediately stopped what he was doing. He walked towards her and wiped the blood.
"Gwaenchana?" It was evident in his voice that he was in panic. Their faces were so close to each other. Sol watched as he wiped it for her. She couldn't help but admire him. When Jong Hoon realized she was looking at him, he gave her his handkerchief and let her be the one to wipe the blood.
"Ehem." Jae Hoon approached them.
"Lee Jae Hoon" Jong Hoon scolded and glared at him.
-Days later-
Sol's point of view
"Aish, why does it smell so bad here?" I said. It's still early in the morning but it smells like alcohol here.
"Kang Sol, wake up!" Eomma annoyingly demanded.
"Wait, Eomma. It's still so early. Let me sleep."
"Early? You're late for work!"
I immediately got up and glanced at the clock.
"Why didn't you tell me it's already 10 in the morning?!"
"I tried waking you up a million times! You were so drunk."
"Ne? I was drunk? Then how did I end up here?"
"Yang-gyosunim brought you here."
"Ne?! Yang-gyusunim?!"
"You even vomited on him."
"Omo! We planned to meet today, how will I be able to face him?!"
Then I remembered what happened last night. F**k! I'm dead!
