Kanglim's returning memories (Shinbi Apartment Kanglim x Reader)

Chapter 5 - Paying off Debt

I saw two boys playing with a soccer ball. 'They must be twins.. they look alike.'

"Catch!"

"I caught it!" They giggled until they heard a door open near them. There was a family dressed in swimwear.

"Looks like they're going to the swimming pool... lucky..." the one with the ball said.

"We should ask mom and dad if we can go to the swimming pool too!" the other said loudly, not yelling but not just talking loudly.

"Mom and dad are busy at work." The brother smiled melancholically comforting his brother.

"They're always busy." The boy took the ball from his brother, biting his cheeks, and kicking the ball with all his strength, hitting an old man's face.

The old man's cheek was red. I couldn't tell if it was because of the ball or anger. "I told you two to not play ball before!" The old man yelled at the boys lecturing them.

They both immediately looked down at their shoes bowing apologetically, "Sorry sir!"

The one that kicked the ball looked to his side towards his brother. "Hyung, let's go play somewhere else."

'Well looks like he's the younger one.'

"Yeah..."

The vision was now on the roof.

"We'll be able to play ball here!" The older one said looking at how empty and large the roof was.

"Hyung, look at that!" The younger one pointed in amazement, running towards the direction he was pointing at.

The older one was surprised and followed. "Jeong Su, where are you going!"

The younger quickly climbed up the ladders looking inside the huge emergency water tank, the one I am trying to save everyone from.

"Hyung! This thing is filled with water! It's like a swimming pool!" The younger one said smiling.

"Really?" The older twin quickly climbed up the ladders looking inside; the boys were silent in amazement for a couple of seconds.

"Woah it's really wide!" The older one said.

The younger suddenly turned his head towards his older twin making him flinch. "Do you want to go in?"

The older one gasped, "What if it's deep?" He asked in worry.

Somehow and from somewhere got a rope. "We can tie a rope to the handle and hold it while we go down!" They tied the rope to a metal handle of the tank, tossing the other inside the tank.

After they made sure it was tied well the younger went down first and clung onto the rope. Then the older was on top of where the younger was. "Yay! We'll be able to play in the water too!" the younger twin said in excitement.

When the younger reached the end of the rope he realized his feet weren't reaching the water. "Huh? My feet don't reach!" he pouted "What a bummer, let's go back up Hyung." The boys frowned in disappointment.

The older one looked up to the opening of the tank. "Alright!" Then he saw it... the metal handle was getting dragged towards his direction. Which means soon the hand will completely fall off.

"Hurry, Jeong Su!" The older yelled rushing up, but it was no use before even the older could make it the handle broke off.

"AHHHH!"

"Ever since then?" I said out loud, but I was thinking to myself.
