*Ae Cha's P.O.V*

I stare at the message Eun Sook sent me. She had called many times since I returned.

She said I shouldn't stress about it but, how can I? How would my family feel when they realize I'm now unemployed? I have so much debt to pay.

I promised Xuan I would pay his college fees. How would I when I have no job?

Finding a job here in Seoul is very difficult especially since I'm just a middle-class low life.

I pour another set of green tea into a cup for the fifth time.

I can't even afford a beer. I sulk.

Who is behind this?

Someone knocks on my door and I ignore it. I stare at the door as they continue knocking.

"Ae Cha!"A male voice I know all too well calls worriedly.

I ignore him and sniff.

"Ae Cha I know you are in there open up." Cha Miu says tensing up.

I walk to the door and switch on the screen that displays the person on the outside. I look at him and he looks like he ran a mile to get here. He should be at work.

I should be at work.

"Cha---" He cuts me off.
"Ae Cha please open the door. You are making me worried." He says and I clean my tears and unlock the door.

He opened the door immediately nearly hitting me since I was behind the door. He looks around and when the door closes, he down at me and I stare at him.

"I'm sorry." He says and my fist clenches.

I can't help but remember what Eun Sook told me. No, I shouldn't let it affect me. He doesn't see more than a friend.

Every normal friend would be so worried like this, right?

"I'm fine Cha, why are you saying sorry? It isn't your fault."

He looked even more worried. He hated it when I pretended I was fine when I wasn't.

"Stop your pretence, Ae Cha, I know you aren't fine. I called you but you didn't pick up. I heard about the demo--" When he took a step front I lost my cool.

"I said I'm fine!"I shout and his jaw clenches, I walk to the living room and I sit on the couch.
He follows me but stops in front of me.

"You are not fine Ae Cha. I wish I knew earlier about this, I would have--"

"What would you have done?" I say angrily. "Whoever did this must be capable of mirthless things. They would have still killed you and still demolished the building."

"I will kill him first." He says and drops a bag of food he held, on the table. It smelt so good. I guess my anger blocked my sense of smell.

Maybe I shouldn't have shouted, he was just trying to cheer me up. I always do this, yet, he's the one who says sorry.

Why does he keep putting up with me?

"I'm sorry Ae Cha, maybe I will take you around Seoul till you get a job better than that one." He sits next to me and I smile.

"It's fine Cha, I'll find one myself. I'll apply for a new job tomorrow."I say and he looks at me and smiles.

Buddha thank you for giving me Cha Miu and Eun Sook.

"You should try acting." He says. " remember? Mrs. Kim Miu."

He laughs and I cover my face as I blush in embarrassment.
