"Next applicant, pleass come in."
I stood up and fixed myself as i walked in. I saw in a train station that KT Motors is looking for some back sales executives. I guess i should try it out. I won't lose anything anyway.
The interviewer is a man. A good looking man and looks so respectable with his suit and specs.
"Hmm.. you aren't a degree holder which is one of the requirements. What made you apply for the position?" He asked without raising his head, still focused on my resumé.
"I believe in my experience and i am good with people. I am confident, Sir." I answered.
He finally looks up and it feels like he was shocked to see me.
"I am sorry but are you the man in Rosé's film?" He asked.
I nodded, "yes, Sir."
"Small world, Captain."
What?
"Pardon?"
"Oh nothing. Looking at your work experience and the fact that you are an actor, you can be our asset here in the company."
Double what?
Is he saying i have a chance in the position?
"But why apply some jobs when you can audition for some lead roles in the entertainment industry?"
"The competition are tight. And i have to work double time to feed myself. Going auditions has no certainty that i will get acting jobs."
"By the way, i am Kim Min Kyu. I'm one of the owners but i usually handle people more than papers."
"Nice to meet you, Sir." That's all i can say.
"Our clients here are from almost all different walks of life. And the vacant position is for VIPs. It means you will persuade celebrities and business tycoons. When can we expect you to come and we can brief you with your work?" He asked.
Oh!
"I'm accepted?" I asked.
He gazed at my folder, "well, yes. We will give 2 weeks of training and let you familiarize with our business then leave you alone with the clients."
"Oh wow, thank you sir. You won't regret having me and i'll work hard." I smiled.
"Of course, Mr Jung. By the way, we provide uniforms which is coat and tie. For now, please do provide yourself one or two for your training...."

Another day, i went to an old public library that David heard found. According to our research, Hosu Women's University was founded in 1800s and kept running until 1870-ish. A conflict rose that made the university closed down. And maybe the public library knows something about it.
The place was really old. The front has become a food stall of rice cakes.
I went in and walk straight to the library assistant. He looks old.
"Good morning, adjussi."
"What can i do for you?"
"Uhm.. may.i know if you have data of Hosu Women's University?" I asked.
"Hmm...another person asking for that information.." he whispered to himself but i heard it since the library was dead silent.
"Who's the other person?" I asked curiously.
"A woman. Anyway, here's what you're looking for. The u iversity really had a lot of past that the old owner compiled them in this binder. Please be careful not to tear the pages."
"Thank you." I took the old binder and went to one of the table.
I read them and jot down the needed information. I can lose it if i use phone to capture it.
Year 1875, a suspected spy from North Korea locked down the university's dormitory..
I skipped the other parts. There were also clipping from local newspapers of the hostage taking.
I flipped the page and my eyes widen seeing myself in a black and white photo of the local newspaper.
What the hell?!
I gulped staring at the man who looks exactly like me. He's wearing a polo shirt with an army cut.
Lim Soo ho, a German-Korean graduate student from Berlin University finishing thesis has been suspected to be a North Korean Spy. It was later revealed that he was only running away from the police accusing him as one of the student protestors and hide only in the dormitory.
According to his testimony, he climbed the wall to get into one of the rooms of the dormitory and was found by unidentified freshman student (information kept secret for protection) and her three other roommates severely injured from gunshot. They helped him recuperate and hid in the abandoned room in the rooftop.
At the time Lim soo ho was supposed to flee, Kim Mandong or most commonly known as Taedong River 1 captive the whole dormitory with a sack of money and ammunition and threatened to bombed the place if they won't cooperate.
This information is giving me a head ache. And i'm just starting from thick binder.
Unidentified freshman student?? Was it Eun Youngro? Because i remember being with her almost all the time he dreamt of her.
I flipped another page and there were people who seems to be running for a position but i didn't bother to read it and flipped another page.
The hostage taking took 3 weeks before the ANSP took down Taedong River 1 cornered at the abandoned room in the rooftop.
But why Youngro is crying on Sooho?
I flipped the next page and got the answer.
The remaining 36 hostage students was saved by Lim Soo ho who almost died if not with the intervention of the unidentified freshman student.
I made it to the last page with North Korean Spy's information was clipped. There was also a note at the bottom.
Hosu Women's University Dormitory was closed to the public and later the university followed. The traumatic event was almost kept secret by the authority...
It was real...
That's for sure.
My dream was real.
I jot down the dates and information of Lim Sooho then i went back to the librarian.
"Adjussi, do you.." i couldn't finish my sentence.
I wanna ask something about reincarnation but i will look crazy in front of him. He might be one of the people who don't believe on that word.
"Believe in reincarnation?" He finished it and smirked.
How did he know?
"I do believe on it. When i first handedly experience of meeting a person from the past."
I bowed my head as if it will hide my whole existence from his eyes.
"Thank you, adjussi." I dropped some bills on the box and left.
It was real real..
