Jaebum

"Knock Knock!" Someone said. I crumpled the paper and throw it at the trash bin. I opened the door.

"H-Hello" A young boy, looked like 16 years old greeted me together with his grandma I think.

The elder push the young forward. "okay...". He whispered. "Uhmm..My grandma wants to welcome you in the neigboorhood...Here's some homemade lasagna" The boy handed me the appetizing meal.

I smiled. "Thank you. I'm Jaebum by the way" I said. "I'm Yugyeom...and this is my grandma, she's mute" I looked at her and she smiled at me.

"Uhmm Thank you for the lasagna... I appreciate it a lot" I said.

"Yeah..Uhmm..Have a nice day..You're welcome" Yugyeom said and he turned to his grandma. "Grandma, let's go"Yugyeom said, but his grandma was looking behind me.

I look behind nothing was there. "Let's go grandma" But she's still there. She waved her hand as if saying hello. "Ahmm sorry..she acts like this sometimes...We will get going now." She listened to her grandson but she spared me a glance. I bowed at her, then she smiled at me. Okay that is weird. I looked behind me and back infront. Nothing. I shrugged and decided to eat this yummy lasagna.

The next day came easy. I woke up and my estate agent sure did send me a bottle of wine together with my stuff. I walked to the kitchen to make some coffee. I grabbed something from the compartments and good thing they had some cups. I threw in the instant coffee and put hot water. I looked at my backyard with awe. The skies was painted with lightblue and touch of orange. The morning is starting of great. Now that's a view I want to see everytime.

After some coffee. I washed up and decided to unpack some of my things. I started off with my clothes. I was hanging my clothes inside the closet. When I saw something stuck between the wood of the door. I picked it up and it was another piece of paper.

I Can Hear You.

It's written in the paper. What does that mean? I picked up the empty box and just move on and ignore the piece of paper. When I'm done with the clothes. I decided to explore the attic. I climbed up the hidden stairs. It's pretty dusty. Once I was inside. It wasn't full of stuff but just some empty boxes.

Except for one. There's one box that has a writing on it.

Property of-

The end words was smudge so I can't see the name. I hesitated to at first, but decided to open it. No one is looking anyway.

I opened the box and saw so many different things, like broken twigs and burned papers. but what caught interest in me are the tapes. There are 10 tapes and they all have their own titles, but something seem familiar with the hand writting. I pulled out the piece of paper that I pulled from the door lately.

"They're the same..." I mumbled.
I shuffled more inside and saw a picture, not an old picture. It was a picture of a really cute smiling boy. Somewhere in the age of 18.
I don't know why but I smiled.
I mentally slapped myself and focused myself.

I returned everything except for the tapes. I feel like I want to watch them. "Mr. Im!" I heard my agent called and decided to go down. "Mr.Im!" He shouted. "I'm coming" I replied. Once I reached the door. I opened it. "Ahh yes, Mr.Im, did you liked my choice of wine?" He said. I looked at his nametag since I forgot his name.

"Jung Hoseok" I called. He smiled. "What do you want?" I ask. I am busy. He should know that. "Ah...I was just here to give you some more spare keys. "He said. "And also my personal number if ever something went wrong or you want a job" He said winking. "I can help you with that". I rolled my eyes. "Is that all?" I ask.

"Yes Yes, I know you are busy with unpacking. Thank you" I nodded and he drove away. I placed the keys in the coffee table. I also left the tapes for viewing later, but before I could walk. I heard my keys dropped. I turned around. I picked it up, but something is with it, another piece of letter saying...

Can you see me?
