it was about time that the sun would rise up and illuminate the empty streets by its beaming heat and luminous rays. the turqouise apartment complex a few steps from the intersection of a calm town is not different than the other building that surrounds it. however, room 309 makes it unique as a boy named kim seungmin lies peacefully asleep at the top of his bed.
being confined at the hospital for at least one month after he woke up from his deepest slumber was more tiring than him working at night and being a student at day. thus, resulting to a totally worn out seungmin.
as clock strikes seven, three knocks was heard at the apartment's door. waking up the now half asleep boy. grudgingly, he walked towards the door. he took a peek at the hole in order to know who is the person responsible for intruding his sleep. but no one was there. he took a step back, backing away from the door and turning around as he took a step towards his room but then a knock was once again heard. he annoyingly bursted the door open causing his eyes to widen as he stared in shock at the person in front of him.

she stood in front of the door with numbers 309 carved at the center. she feels anxious,
what if he hates me?
at the same time excited.
i miss him.
she raised her knuckles up to the front of the door and knocked three times. she waited for five minutes and got no response. so she knocked again and she was startled as the door suddenly opened.
their eyes met as if the earth lined up along with the moon amd the sun creating an eclipse. their longing for each other was finally over. the time that kept them at bay has finally ended. seungmin's eyes glistening with adoration, longing and astonishness, reflecting the latter's eye. he still can't believe that she's here. in front of him replicating the same mix of emotions that he has.
"uhh.. hi?" she whispered, though seungmin actually heard her, that made the brunette end his trance and pulled her in a tight hug.
"oh my god" seungmin repeated his words as he tighten his embrace towards the smaller frame between his arms.
"c-can't breath" the ash- gray haired young lady stated.
"sorry," seungmin released haneul from his tight hug as he let her in inside the complex.
"i missed you." he continued as they settled down at the couch where they used to have their cuddles while having netflix on the tv.
"how? why haven't you told me you were coming home? oh wait, why did you even not let me contact you?" seungmin whined as he got up, remembering that he hasn't closed the door yet and haneul's luggage was neglected at his doorway.
"i'm sorry. i just wanted to surprise you," she stood up and went directly to the fridge while roaming her eyes around.
"everything's still the same." indeed. while seungmin was still at the hospital, haneul would clean their apartment every week. and when she went to france for her medication, she never forgot to remind jeongin to come by the apartment at least every month to clean up.
"yeah, i heard jeongin was like the caretaker of our home" seungmin replied already walking up to the kitchen where her girl was.
"i'm famished, the flight took hours," she said while rummaging through the treats in the fridge.
"oh my god! i haven't contacted jeongin yet!!" she bolted to the living room and got her phone.
her parents were with her all the time and they only parted when she told them she'd go straight to her and seungmin's shared apartment, knowing that the boy would be shocked to see her, and her parents went straight home which meant jeongin would've heard the news already that she came back home, obviously not telling her younger brother.
seungmin chuckled at how his girl was still as forgetful as before. he grabbed the frying pan by the shelves and the eggs in his fridge that remained open as haneul forgot about it. it was still early in the morning so he decided on making sunny side ups and fried rice.
"what'd he say?" seungmin asked as they sat on the dining table.
"he's upset. love, what do i do?" she asked worriedly as his brother was leaving him on read simultaneously, which rarely happens.
"what about we go there tomorrow?"
"but-"
"you have to rest for today. you can't possibly just go travel to places immediately." seungmin cutted her protest.
haneul just nodded and continued to eat knowing her boyfriend wouldn't let her go.
