Jinhyun was woken by the sound of a steaming kettle. He opened his eyes to see a peach painted ceiling above him. For a minute, he was confused before he realized that he was not at his own house. Immediately, he snapped up straight, trying to remember what happened last night.
All he could recall was that he reached the door to his apartment but his memories were blank from then. Did something happen? Was he kidnapped?
But the place looked familiar due to the Joseon era artefacts surrounding him. He was at Cherry's house!
"You're awake," a cool voice came from behind him.
Cherry was standing there, wearing an old red shawl with a shabby gown underneath. No doubt she was in her daytime avatar as an old woman even though Jinhyun could see her real persona very clearly.
"How did I get here?" he asked. "I only remember I fainted in front of my house but-"
"I saw you and left you there," Cherry stated bluntly. "But the guard found you and dumped you on me so I had to take you in."
