THE rusted metal clips held the hangers, clad with freshly washed clothes, on the stretched rope. Ye Bin continued to pick up more items from the bucket, in an attempt to let her limited supply of clothing receive a good amount of the afternoon sunlight.
It was an oddly quiet surrounding she was standing in, for a weekday. The entire boundary of the house had no other sign of human beings present within it. Usually, the din caused by the bakery's customers or atleast Ju Ho's rapid movements at his floor caught her attention. To an extent, she had become used to it.
It looked so deserted and calm that Ye Bin was feeling uneasy. The bakery was closed for the day and it had been so, since quite sometime.
A couple of days ago, Ju Ho had left her an ambiguous text that informed her about his plan to visit his friend at Seoul. He had not been able to return since then.
Ye Bin had often found herself thinking about him since the day they had gone out. It was highly inexplicable to her. She had tried to reason it with just a mere concern about her friend's whereabouts. Had it not been his generosity and advices, she would have been saddled with a huge debt.
The sound of the front gate opening and approaching footsteps, made her walk towards the front side of the house.
"I'm sorry if you're here to visit the bakery. It's closed right now." she explained in a high pitched voice as her sandals made a squeaky noise, its sole trampling the growing wild grasses underneath.
"The owner's here! You don't need to shoo away people for me, now." Ju Ho stopped her from speaking as he waved at her, enthusiastically. He was in the process of closing the house's gate.
It was obviously Han Ju Ho with that same gaily face and a smile so beautiful lingering on it. He seemed neatly dressed, his hair brushed in a particular pattern and his wrist adorning a metal watch. Ye Bin could only stare and not speak a word. She was not expecting him.
"I haven't seen you for a while." Ju Ho spoke after greeting her. "Sorry about putting you through this ordeal. I had to visit my friend at Seoul. It was urgent. He had undergone surgery recently and had no one to take care of him. I hope that I didn't put in a tight spot after I let you know about the sudden change in my plans."
"It's completely fine." Ye Bin assured as she started walking towards the backyard to complete her task. "It's high time that I try to arrange meals for myself."
"You don't really have to, you know." Ju Ho followed her. "I can still bring you meals everyday. You should focus more on your painting. I get to see you everyday thanks to that. It's so rare to come across you, otherwise."
