The 5 months time.

1720 p.m.

Eunjoo sat down on the chair like a living dead. Her eyes were stale and grey, hopeless.

You see, there was no point in living anymore. The cat was dead, so it was a good reason for her to run back to the building and end her life. It's not like there would be anyone to stop her.

Except there was .

" Thank you so much for helping, young man. " Mrs Cha poured the tea for the two young people. " Perhaps Eunjoo was in a daze just now. She couldn't really do anything. "

" I refused his help, Mrs. Cha. " She scowled. " I could have just buried her myself. But he insisted on helping. "

The stranger chuckled after, " I just thought of helping you. It's not like it's harmful to anyone. " He awkwardly sipped the tea.

" Well then, I'll take my leave first. "Eunjoo pushed the chair back and grabbed her bag. " I have some errands to run. I'll come again later when I have time. "

God, she couldn't believe that was the end.

" Where are you going? " The man inquired.

Such a nosy man isn't he?

" I can take you there. "

" I don't think you can, sir. " She wryly smiled. " I'll go by myself. "

' Please, I insist- "

" You know sometimes it's just annoying when you keep on wanting to help when they say no? "

She bid goodbye and walked out through the front door, dragging her old boots on the concrete.

She found it embarrassing to have a little hope for the man or Mrs Cha came running to stop her.

" Stop, no Eunjoo! Don't die! "

Clearly, that was too much to ask.

She was latching the gate when someone called her name.

" Eunjoo, wait up! " The man called desperately. " Wait, wait! "

Eunjoo spun around to see the man standing not too far from her, grinning so hard.

" Are you crazy? "

" For wanting to commit suicide too? Yeah, I think so. "

" Oh... "

What a coincidence.

" Come on. " He pulled her hands with his. " At least let's enjoy the night together before we actually die. "

" Let me go, you nuts! " She tried to pry his hands off hers but he gripped them even tight. " I don't even know you, you psycho! "

" The name is Choi Beomgyu. I'm turning 25 in 5 months. I came from Daegu. "

The car beamed and he opened the door for her while she froze in the spot. He gestured for Eunjoo to hop in but she held her gaze on his face. His round chestnut face and very sweet eyes. His brown hair made she think of her high school crush, very typical.

" We have the same birthday month. " Eunjoo spoke. " Mine is 15. "

" 13th of March. Same year? "

" Excuse me, " She scrunched her face. " I look younger than you. "

" Alright, alright. " He chuckled. " 2000. "

" Hah, I knew it. " She finally got in the car.

He came right in after and started the car.

" So, when were you born? " He reversed the car. " Wait, let me guess, 2003? 2002? "

She smiled to herself, " Nah, 2000 too. "
