The heart never forgets. It's just that... sometimes there has to be sad endings for the spark of better beginnings.

I don't bother to drop the blanket surrounding me as I walk across the room to attend the door.
It's Chul-soo, as I expected. He is not smiling this time though, he looks quite annoyed. Oops.
- Hey... -I try to smile.
- How are you feeling?
- Hungry. Sick. -I chew on my lower lip as he rolls his eyes and abruptly makes it inside the house. He is holding a plastic in his hand, the same one he brings over when he is coming from his mother's bakery.
Without wasting time he takes out the little sandwiches he brought and puts them in a plate, at the same starting to boil some water to make some tea for me. I stand leaned on the corner of the sink and watch him work. He is not sparing a look, gosh, I'm sick here.
- I'm going to tell Mr. Park. -He says suddenly, giving me a look.
- Tell what? -My eyes widen.
- That you are becoming a maniac alcoholic.
- Chul-soo-yah! It's not like that!
- Oh really? -He raises a brow and then extends his hand to the fridge, opening the lid and revealing a whole shelf of soju. -What is this then?
- Y-yah! -I hurry over and close the fridge, blocking it with my body while guiltily staring at him. -It's none of your business.
- Excuse me?
Shit, I shouldn't have said that.
- I d-don't mean it like that! Just let me be, Chul-soo-yah.
- You either promise me not to drink anymore, or I'm telling Mr. Park that you are living like a drunk ahjussi. -He crosses his arms.
- What? -I chuckle in disbelief and point my finger at him. -Don't even think about it!
- Well, I already did. -I gasp at the last nuance as he turns around and pretends like I'm not even there.
I angrily drag myself away to the couches, the blanket swiping the floor after me. He is so annoying, why does he even care! I can do whatever I want! I'm a 25-year-old grown man!
After Chul-soo is done preparing me breakfast and tea, he serves me in the couches and forces me to finish everything on the plate even though I don't want. Why is he so harsh with me today morning? I get that he is angry, but he is not my dad. He can be a bit more considerate, can't he?
He is quite thoughtful though. He skipped work for me and brought me medications too.
- You gotta take another pill at night, after dinner, okay? -He says while handing me the box of flu pills. I don't like the taste, it is quite bitter, like a apple vinegar. -And drink a lot of water.
