A Place Called You

CHAPTER THREE

"We're here" Hongjoong announced as the small group reached the top of the huge flight of stairs leading up to Hongjoong's friend's apartment "It's the apartment on the left, the roof is shared with the other apartment" he explained, pointing to the other door.

The apartment was on the top floor of the building right on the roof, which was very big and spacious. And it was completely dirty and dusty.

Seonghwa walked around, scowling at the slovenly state of the underused space.

"This place needs a good cleaning" the boy commented "How can anyone live in this dirt?"

"Let's go inside" Joong called, already unlocking the big glass door. "Yunho has class now and can't come, but you can feel free to look around."

"If it's like that out here, imagine it in there" Seonghwa commented.

The living room was well lit thanks to the glass door. Tati walked to the door and entered the apartment, following Joong, who was already inside, opening the living room curtains and the window.

The living room was quite large, but relatively empty, there was only a sofa, a dark wood coffee table and a small shelf with video game consoles and the biggest TV Tati had ever seen in her life, other than that there were no decor items. or nothing of the sort.

"What did you say he studies anyway?" Tati wanted to know.

"Arts" Joong replied.

"The guy studies art and doesn't have any decorations at home? That's weird to say the least" Seonghwa commented "At least it's cleaner in here"

"This is the bathroom" Joong said, pointing to a door to the right of the room. On the opposite side was the kitchen, which was separated from the living room only by a counter. "And there the bedrooms, yours is the one on the left" Joong explained, pointing to two doors near the kitchen.

Tati walked towards the door that Hongjoong indicated and opened it. The room was of a reasonable size and there was already a closet, bed, a desk and some shelves. All the furniture was white, as were the floors and walls.

"Yunho said you can use the furniture, I figured with the flooding thing you must have lost some stuff." Joong said, standing at the door as the girl surveyed the room.

Tati walked around the apartment one more time, checking the bathroom, which turned out to be the cleanest room, which surprised her.

"So what do you think?" Joong wanted to know.

"It's by far the best apartment I visited during my search" She admitted "It's in a good location, the roof is amazing and the bedroom furniture is a great addition. Of course, it needs a cleaning, but considering everything else and the rental price... It's perfect."

"But" Seonghwa said, as if he could read the girl's mind.

"But I don't even know Yunho" she added "How can I share an apartment with someone I haven't even seen in my life?"

"He can't be here today, but I guarantee he's a good person. I would never put you in a bad situation" Joong assured.

Tati turned to Seonghwa and he didn't need her to say anything to understand that yes, she had already made up her mind.

"You loved it, didn't you?" the boy asked. Tati approached him, holding his hands, nodding excitedly. Seonghwa sighed, not too excited about the idea.

DeleteCreated with Sketch.

After visiting the apartment, Tati decided it was time to finally call Chris and tell him what had happened. She decided to go straight to the hotel, leaving Seonghwa and Hongjoong alone.
