With nowhere else to go, Jin walked in the thick black of the night. He wrapped his arms around himself, pondering on what next to do. He had lost everything. He lost Lijuan most importantly.
'Where to spend a night?' The thought burdened his brain, along with some other problems. "Xin... I could stay with him until I sort everything out," He said, then pulled out his phone to dial his friend's number. After calling twice, he didn't get answered. He was diverted to a voice mail each time. The man sighed, "I guess he's sleeping."
He didn't have any option but Xin. Sleeping or not, he still had to pop up unaware at his friend's place for shelter. It might inconvenience him, but just for a while.
He continued his journey down the smooth grey sidewalks next to the sun bleached road leading to apartment blocks winding over a hill.
He approached Xin's door and knocked a couple of times before ringing the doorbell.
