The Day Doom Knocked on Our Doors

Chapter 12: What's Real and What's Not?

"YA!"

Releasing each other rather quickly, Bo Young and In Guk both turned to the owner of the voice. Just as they expected, they were brought back to where they were when 30 minutes have passed. They're brought back home.

Holding a glass of water in one hand, and pointing at them with the other, Lee Kwang Soo walked towards them in a hurried manner -- making as little noise as possible -- the look of accusation on his face. The actor looked like a fish out of water. Seo In Guk would have laughed at that display if it weren't for the fact that he was caught kissing Park Bo Young in her house.

"Ya!" This time, it was Park Bo Young who also pointed at Lee Kwang Soo accusingly. "What are you doing here!?" She hissed, as soon as Kwang Soo was about an arm's reach from where they sat on the couch.

"You told me I can use this house when I'm near the area." Kwang Soo responded, fumbling through his pocket for something. He later produced a key and handed it over to Bo Young.

The owner of the house just clapped a hand on her forehead in remembrance. She did tell him that and gave him the key since she wasn't using the house and it felt like it's a waste not to. They met four months ago and Kwang Soo said he might be in the area around this time. How did it slip your mind?

"Do you normally invite everyone to live with you?" Seo In Guk, who had been watching the exchange, whispered. He had an amused expression plastered on his face. It still makes Bo Young wonder how he's taking things differently than how normal people do. She half expected him to sound annoyed but he didn't.

Kwang Soo can only cover his mouth as he sat on the couch opposite theirs. Sure he was expecting to see Bo Young. It's her house after all. But he never imagined he'd find her sharing a kiss with Seo In Guk.

"I think you should drink that before we say anything." In Guk addressed Kwang Soo. "What is there to say? It's obvious you two are dating!" Kwang Soo said as he put his glass of water down.

"Well, for one, we also l---" In Guk responded but Bo Young quickly covered his mouth. "He says he's actually going home." She told her guest and then later eyed In Guk.

"It's late. And your house is quite a distance from here, you need to rest. We have work tomorrow. " She also immediately supplied, addressing her date. "What do you mean? We have free ---" In Guk responded. Bo Young had to cover his mouth again.

She stood up and pulled him with her with all her strength and she was glad it worked. Once they were stable on their feet, she grabbed his phone -- they left it when Myul Mang took them back to the amusement park -- on the table and ushered him to the door. "Call me when you get home, okay." She said opening the door and pushing In Guk outside.

In Guk can only shake his head at the situation. If Park Bo Young wasn't so cute with marred lipstick, he'd have been mad. That was a lie though. He couldn't really find it in himself to get angry at her even when she's trying his patience sometimes.

Clapping her hands to her sides, Bo Young made her way back to where her guest sat. "So~ where do I begin?" She asked.

----

Bo Young felt herself awash with relief when she checked her phone for the nth time for any news and there still wasn't any regarding two men leaving her house at different hours. She can't be too complacent even if four days have passed, can she? The cherry on top? Seo In Guk didn't seem offended getting thrown out of the house he's practically living in.
