7:37 am

_Why does he disappear everytime.....

Yeonjun folded his mattress and blanket and placed them near the wall. He went downstairs and there he saw the lady standing behind the counter. He said goodmorning and asked her if she was awake when the other boy with him left the store.

_Oh my.. Thought u knew about him leavin.. He said u knew .. Yes I was awake.. He left so early..

_Oh.. I see. That's ok.
Thank u sm again for letting us stay ajumma.

_No problem son. It helped me not feel alone for a night, too. Haha..

_Ah.. Are u always by urself here?

_Yes.. my kids each made a life for themselves makin their ways to big cities out there.. They won't bother to drop by or bring my grandchildren here.. Guess It's too little up there for them to fit...haha

_It might be little.. But it felt so good sleeping there ajumma. They all must be so arrogant to leave their grandma alone...

_Aw.. I can't erase them tho.. hehe

Said the old lady giggling and smiling with her wrinkled eyes..

_.. I can never forget them .. I keep waiting for them to show up every day..

_Don't worry ajumma.. I know I can't take their place but I'll try to visit u more often from now on to make u feel less lonely...

_Oh, dear... Thank you so much.. You're so kind for your age haha.. I'd be so glad to see u. ^^

Yeonjun bowed saying goodbye to the lady, and left the store.

Beomgyu was at his home.. laying on the ground, facing the ceiling... He couldn't brush off Yeonjun's words from his mind..
At the same time, couldn't help but try to find differences as a proof that him and Yeonjun's sister aren't the same..

We're different... Ur sister ...
might had been through a hard time.. but at least...
She had u.. ur parents.. and probably many other people who cared...

I was left alone from long ago..
What's the point of hanging on.. walkin on a thread ...

for a soul who's already been dead for so long
...

He was saying all these as the proof but still couldn't help but get reminded of the sorrow in Yeonjun's eyes he saw when he glanced at him while he was talking ...

***

Yeonjun told his mom about the old lady and asked her if she could visit the store in her free time and she accepted eagerly.

It'd already been a while since the last time he met Beomgyu... This was unconsciously making him worried again
...

He decided to ignore this negative energy by focusing on his work. He was trying to memorize the locations he was told.. until he saw a familiar one... and it seemed this costumer had ordered two sandwiches.

Is he having a guest?.. thought Yeonjun...

Beomgyu's pov:

It's been a while I haven't worked... I can't get out of bed...and well I've been using my rent money and my savings all along...

I should stop this shitty situation or I'll go broke fr...
