*5 months ago*

"What is wrong with you?!" My step-mom asked. "I got into law school what more do you want from me?!" I shout back. "You're meant to be in med school not law school!" She screamed at me. Long story short my real mom and my dad had a divorce. My dad fell in love with my now step-mom. She was nice at first but a year after they got married she showed how she really is. She is the worst person my dad could have gotten with. My real mom and my dad wanted me to go into law school so I did, but she thinks she's my real mom and tried to get me to go to med school but I didn't so here we are. 

"I don't care what you wanted me to do! The only reason why I still live here is to make sure that my brother doesn't end up like me! Being beat every time I do something wrong!" I shout. Dad and my little brother Min-Suk rush down stairs. She then slapped me so I shoved her away. Dad stepped in between us and after asking what happened and me telling him he took my side. He then filled for divorce and we all put a restraining order on her. This wasn't the first time she's hit me. She's done worse.

*3 months later*

I wake up and hear my brother crying so I rush out of bed. I run down stairs to see my brother crying over our dads' body. I kneel next to him and felt my dads' hand. It was warm. I then rush to the security room in our house with Min-Suk behind me. I then watch the security footage and saw our crazy ex step-mom break in a few hours ago and kill him. I quickly called the police and told them what happened. My parents were popular in the police force as they were the iconic and ideal couple within the field. 

They arrived a few minutes later and rushed inside. I showed them the footage and they tracked the car and arrested her a few hours later. The body was taken and a crime scene cleaner cleaned up the scene. After that I put the house up for sell. We packed and I called mom. I told her everything and she told us to move in right away. We then went to the car and I put our stuff in the trunk. We then arrived at our moms' house 15 minutes later. She rushes outside with her fiance behind her. She brought us into a hug and we all broke down crying. She still loved him but as a friend, so it hurt her. Michael, her fiance, got our stuff out of the car as she brought us inside.

*2 months later*

I was on my laptop looking for apartments to move into. Min-Suk walks in and was curious and saw what I was looking at. "Noona you can't leave" He says loudly with a pout. "Min-Suk. I'm 18 and living with mom and her fiance. I don't want to be a burden." I say. "You're not a burden sweetheart, but if you want to move out that's fine. Just come visit." She says with a soft smile. I then nod. "I will mom" I then found the apartment and bought it. I went and changed into my college uniform and drove to college. 

*3 weeks before the move*

I'm currently it a gun store and getting my gun license. After a few hours I received my gun license. I then pick out a pistol and its ammo, bought it and went home.

*Day of the the move*

I put all of my things in the trunk of my car. I look back to the door and see Mom, Michel, and Min-Suk standing there, sending me off. I tear up and run back and hug them. I then turn to Michel and hugged him, which shocked him. He then hugged back. I then let go. I then looked at mom and Min-Suk. "Bye mom. Bye Min-Suk" I say sadly. They smile sadly at me. Min-Suk then hugs my legs. I crouch down and hugged him again. He then let go and wiped his tears. I then stand and turn to Michel. "Bye. Dad" I say making him tear up. 

"I know I can't be like Seok, I can't replace him, but I will take care of them while your gone. Please come visit once in a while" He says. I then nod. He then takes off his necklace and puts it on me. I smile as a tear falls. He wipes it away. I then walk to the car, got in. I turned on the car and looked at them. I wave once last time and drove to the building.

A few hours later I arrived at the building. It looked warn down but it was something. I got out and began transferring my things to my apartment. I got the key when I passed by the guard and within a couple hours had everything inside. I then sigh and started unpacking. 5 hours later and I was done. A knock was heard and I looked through the intercom and saw it was the guard. I slowly opened the door. "Hello?" I said cautiously. 

"Hello. I wanted to welcome you to the Green House Apartment Complex. Here. A welcoming gift" He says. I nod and thank him. I then quickly closed the door just as I saw him take a step closer. I then made a mental note to keep an eye on him. I then opened the drink and smelt it. It made me gag so I closed it and tossed it out the window. I then rushed to the bathroom and threw up. After that I took a shower, changed and went to bed.

*Current time/Next day*

I woke up to the sun shining through the window. I get up and change into my police uniform. I sigh as I grab my apartment keys. I unlock my apartment door and left, closing and locking it behind me. I headed down to the first floor as I did everyone greeted me. I greeted them back and sat next to one of the other residents at Green Home who tried to help me yesterday but I didn't want to be a burden to anyone. My phone then rings only to see it was my friend.

"Morning" "Morning. No need to come and today. The station has been closed for today for cleaning and evaluation so take the day off." he said. I was surprised when I heard that. "Oh. Okay. Thank you for letting me know." I say. He then hung up. I went back up to my apartment to change.

Once I changed into comfortable clothing I then went outside and sat in the grass. I put my earbuds in and enjoyed the sun. After 30 minutes I decide to head inside. I stand up to feel something fly past my nose. I then look around to see a metal shard in the sign next to me. I faintly hear someone so I paused my music and took a earbud out. "I don't know how that flew over there." The man says. He was the guard here and apparently does a crappy job at it too, as the other residents told me.

He then explains that this wasn't his job and that he was the security guard. He walked past me and grabbed the shard. That was when I noticed a new face. "I haven't seen you here before. What brings you here?" he asks. "I moved" the new guy says softly. The security guard then decided to be rude to the new guy. "He just moved here." I say glaring at the guard. "Oh. Yeah. I heard someone was moving into 1410. I guess that's you" The guard says. He then asked if he was living alone. "That's enough." I cut in seeing how uncomfortable he was getting.

I then put an arm around him and led him into the building into his room. "Here's your room. Mine is across the hall. Also my name is Lee Y/n" I say softly. He nods with a small bow. "Thank you and my name is Cha Hyun-su" He whispers out but I was able to hear him. I softly smile. "Nice to meet you Hyun-su" I say. I then walked into my apartment as he walked into his. 

I looked around and saw how dirty it got after dinner yesterday so I decided to clean. After 30 minutes I've finished cleaning, thankful that I got a small apartment. I then heard a loud bang and cracked open my apartment door to see the guard holding open Hyun-su's door. "Yah!" I shouted getting his attention as I entered the hallway. "Leave the boy alone!" I say. The guard then apologizes and hands him a drink. I put my hand on the door, and pushed the guard away. 

"Don't drink that. Don't trust anything they give you." I say as I walk in. I take the drink away from him. "They gave this to me and when I opened it it didn't smell right" I say. I then throw away the drink as the incorrect code sound is heard. He went and checked to see who it was. He then jolts back when he sees who it is. He looks back at me and mouths 'guard'. I then roll my eyes by how much the guard is making this new resident uncomfortable.

We then hear a conversation with a girl and her mom over the phone. We then hear music coming from upstairs in the room directly above ours. I then told him a specific knock to listen for. I then left back to my apartment to get some food as we both agreed to stick together for that night as we were both scared of the guard after his past actions.

 I locked my apartment door and did the knock. The door then opens a few seconds later and I walk in as he closes the door behind me. I then walked to his kitchen and made us noodles. After a few minutes I finished as he just started to eat. I then went on my phone to pass the time. And then hear him coughing then a sigh a few seconds later. I saw him put the bowl down and went on his phone.
