Stranger From Hell

Chapter 6- Kiss me

I had a severe headache in the morning and I sat on the terrace, trying to feel some cool air.

"You should be careful." I groaned internally.

"Why?" I retorted.

"You are not completely sober and this is quite a bit of height to fall over."

I turned around to see the man dressed in black clothes yet again.

"What if I am not? So what?" Why this guy always find me whenever I was trying to have some alone time? Why is he everywhere and most importantly why he always following me?

"Still not sober then."

"Yeah, so what of it?"

"Makes you more honest." He did that tilt of his head and the fringes shifted to reveal more of his forehead and for some reason the first thought to pop in my mind was 'handsome'

"How so?"

"You said what you thought and you meant what you said. Like last night."

"What do you mean?" I stepped forward unconsciously and Moon-Jo didn't took a step back. In fact, he move nearer to me and smiling at me. At that moment, I could feel my heart beating fast as I stare into his eyes. What is wrong with me? I was feeling confused about everything, about why I was feeling this way. I shouldn't feel this way, I have a girlfriend and to make things worse, he's a man.

I'm probably just feeling lonely and confused. Yep that was it.

"Did I do anything stupid?" I asked nervously.

"No, why would you think that?" he said before added in, "Check the CCTV and you know why." Moon-Jo winked and left.

What the heck? What is he talking about?

I didn't check. Not until I found that pervert from unit 301 standing outside my door again. I started screaming and demanding what he had stolen from my room. It escalated to the point that the landlady told me to go through the CCTV.

To my surprised, 301 hadn't entered my room at all.

Then she insisted on showing me the footage from the previous night.
I watched, embarrassment colouring my face as the tape showed that I banged on every door, clearly drunk, trying to pick a fight with 301. I could recall shouting 'pervert' and all kinds of posturing and stupid drunk-fuelled bravado. It only ended when the dentist showed up in the corridor.

"Are you okay, jagiya?" Moon-Jo asked, he looked concerned.

I walk closer to him and pointed my finger at him, "Guess what? among the rest of the people here, you are the creepiest."

We had a staring contest for about 1O seconds before he break the silence, "Jagi, you're really angry today" he said, smiling at me again. Moon-Jo actually looked impressed rather than mad.

"Why do you keep calling me jagiya, huh?! Do you like me or something?"

At that point, the landlady and 301 exchange looks. They were shocked as they weren't expecting to see this side of me.

"You have no idea how bad I wanted to kiss those lips" Moon-Jo replied back.

"Kiss me"

"What?!" The pervert shouted in surprised, Moon-Jo glared at him and the landlady quickly covered 301 mouth with her hands to shut him off.

"Come and kiss me then! What are you waiting for?"

Before he could even react, I suddenly passed out on him, Moon-Jo then carried me back to my room and put me back to my bed.

I stared at the screen, my face flushing hard.

Damn, how many bottles of soju did I drank last night?

I went back to my room feeling like an idiot.

Soon after I received a text from my colleague, saying that Jaeho was found dead this morning. Everyone suspected that he was killed but there was no evidence and police is still investigating the case.

I was shocked when I heard the news, it was really unexpected. I just had a fight with him yesterday and the next day he's dead? I didn't know what to feel at this point, I'm beyond surprised.

I feel bad, I didn't get to apologize to him.

Jieun called me and cried, saying that she will missed him etc. Soon after, my co-worker, Yoo-Jung called to inform that I still need to report to work on monday as Jaeho will be replaced with a new CEO,
Jo Yoo-Cheol.

I just hope the new CEO is not an asshole.
