"Sung Joo!" Yells Seo Yeon as she runs towards him and hugs him.

"Seo Yeon how are you?!"

"Good", she says laughing a bit until she sees me.

Her smile slightly fades but she's waves then gives me a hug as well.

She's shaking.

She's trying to hold herself together...

"Why don't we go in?" Says Sung Joo walking right through the doors.

"Wait Sung Joo your cane!"

He turns around and smiles,"Jin Sung, my brother, this is the place we met. This is the place I used to live. Don't you think I'd know my way around my own home? It's like the back of my hand."

Oh.

Another thing I can't remember.

We proceed up the elevator until we reach the top floor.

"Well you probably won't remember my apartment because you never been inside, and Seo Yeon's I don't think so e-"

"He's been in my apartment", she says quietly,"If anything my place should be one of the big places where he might remember me."

"Ok", says Sung Joo,"The desk clerk said no one is using your room right now so we're free to visit."

And with that we head towards the end of the hall.

...

The apartment is very small. I honestly think it looks like any regular apartment considering the fact that it's empty.

"How am I supposed to remember if there's no character in this place?"

Seo Yeon walks over to the window,"There never was any."

Her answer confuses me.

"Why don't we try your old place Jin Sung", says Sung Joo walking out of the apartment and down the hall.

He stops in front of a door.

But this door isn't like the others.

The door is isolated from the others and seems more worn out. It's paint is chipping off and the hinges are rusty so it squeaks when we open it.

"Ladies first", says Sung Joo motioning for me to go in.

Very funny.

A staircase leads up to the main- and seems to be only room. It's dark without the lights on and the windows are cloudy blocking the sunlight from coming in.

I used to live in this dump?

"Remember anything?" Says Sung Joo startling me.

"Not really."

"Maybe the rooftop?" Seo Yeon suggests.

She walks over to the door that leads outside.

How could a rooftop possibly be helpful?

I follow Seo Yeon out as she sits on a bench.

Next to that bench is a plant.

I feel something stab my heart before I fall to the ground.

That plant is familiar...
