He was walking home. He was worried about his future, his present family, his real family and everything. He came home but the place was dark. The house in which he lives currently, never gone that dark as there were street lights just beside the house. Dae Ju checked on the light but it seems fine. Every place has light except for this house. Lina and Choi San should be at home at this time. But seems like they weren't here.
"Maybe they went somewhere!" Dae Ju thought and went inside. He searched for the switch of the light but he couldn't found it.
"Where did it go? It should be here!" Dae Ju knows the place very well so he was searching for it harder. But he found nothing. There was a wall but it doesn't seem like the wall he always touches. He was more surprised by it. He got afraid too as it was dark. He wanted to go back but suddenly he couldn't find a way to get out from there. He turned around but he couldn't see any door. It was open a while ago but now it's gone. Dae Ju was standing in the darkness alone. He felt like he was inside a huge ground. The wall which he touched a while ago started to move away from him. He looked the other side and felt the same. Now, he was really standing on the ground but it was more like a graveyard. He wanted to shout loudly but suddenly no sound was coming from his throat. He tried his best to scream but he failed again and again. It was dark all around him and no one will come to him and save him. Suddenly he felt his body shook and he woke up. He falls asleep on the bus and he was dreaming the weird things again. Dae Ju looked outside in a rush. The bus left his destination a while ago. Dae Ju left his home behind and now he has to get down from the bus in the station and went back to his home.
He came back home after half an hour and see everything was normal. Nothing was changed. He felt relieved. Lina was cooking dinner for three of them, Choi San was playing games on his phone. That time Dae Ju entered home. The place wasn't dark at all. All the lights were on.
"Where were you? I was calling you for an hour!" Lina asked when she came to him.
"Ah! Really? I didn't see." Dae Ju replied being another minded. He took out his phone and saw its battery was dead.
"Sorry! My battery was dead," he said and smiled.
"Ah! Then you should charge it! Give it to me. I will charge it for you." Lina said and asked for the phone for him. Dae Ju gives it to her and starts walking upstairs.
"Hyung! Where were you in the morning? I was so afraid and worried for you. Is everything fine? If there's something wrong, you can tell me." San asked and stopped playing games.
"Everything is fine!" saying this he smiled hardly.
"Then why are you looking like this?" Lina asked and take a look at his face carefully! Suddenly he felt awkward and moved aside.
"What? I am just exhausted! Nothing else! Why you guys are acting like this is a huge problem?" he shouted but not that angrily.
"We were worried for you." San got disappointed.
"Ah! I didn't mean it! I just...." he couldn't continue his sentence and he didn't want to.
"No more talk. Go and wash yourself. Dinner is ready. I will serve that." Saying this Lina went to the kitchen. Hearing this, Dae Ju went upstairs silently. He has a lot of things in his mind and he was worried about those things. When he went under the lukewarm water, his feelings changed. His thoughts changed. He was thinking in another way. Why he was rude to them? He finds a reason now why men changed after marriage. If there was another girl instead of Lina, she will surely fight with him. But Lina handled the situation well. That's why he likes her that much. She doesn't get angry. She handled everything with her sweet face and calm behavior. Dae Ju smiled though he should worry about his future.
When he came down, Dinner was served.
"Come and take a seat," Lina said gently. Dae Ju came to them. Lina and Choi San were sitting beside each other and there were two more blank seats for Dae Ju. Dae Ju took a seat and take a look at the dishes. Today's main dish was rice with curry. There were more side dishes for three of them. And all of them were homemade.
"Let's start eating!" saying this Dae Ju and San started eating.
"I am sorry. I was harsh on you earlier." Dae Ju said and looked at Lina for a while. Then he moved his eyes on the table though he wasn't eating.
"It's okay! You must've been a hard time!" she smiled and looked at San to see his reaction. He was looking calm too.
"No! I was in fear. I should have told you sooner but I couldn't." he said and took some pickles.
"Why? What happened?" Lina was pouring rice in her mouth but she stopped in the middle and looked at him with her big and questionable eyes. Choi San also stopped eating and looked at him.
"Johnnie has been arrested," he said as if he was Dae Ju's brother.
"Ah! I am relieved! Then why you are so scared? You should be happy!" Lina said as she has no idea about that guy.
"Ah! Really?" San was a little disappointed too.
"Why? Why both of you make this face?" Lina was confused.
"He will get out somehow. I know him very well. He must have a plan. And I think, he got captured by them willingly. And once he finds out who betrayed him, he will finish that person. You can't even get the dead body of that person!" Choi San was very worried after hearing this news.
"That's why you were asking about them on the phone?" Sam asked again.
"Hmm. He knows about me now." Dae Ju said.
"Ah! How? What should we do now?" San was scared and he looked at Dae Ju with his fearsome eyes.
"Ei! Don't worry! There must be a way!" Dae Ju tried to console them so he smiled. But San wasn't satisfied with his words. He was too worried about him.
"Why you are making this face? I told you, everything will be fine!" Dae Ju tried to console him again.
"You don't know how cunning he is! You can't escape even if you went to underground, he will find you. I can't let that happen. I will tell them that I was the spy." he said with a serious voice.
"What! No! Hey! Why you are doing this? Nothing will happen! Trust me!" Dae Ju laughed finding him cute but this boy was not kid anymore. He learned how to care for others and learned how to take responsibility for others. As he was a teenager, he has hot blood and he tried to do anything for them those he loves even if it takes his life.
"I decided that we will shift from here. The house is small for the three of us too. What do you say? Should we go to Busan? Or Gangnam? I have a friend in Gangnam. I am sure he will help me to find a bigger house. What do you think?" Dae Ju said and looked at both of them. Nobody can eat anymore as it was shocking news for them.
"Are you crazy? He has a ton of people in Gangnam!" Choi San said loudly.
"I told you earlier, not to go there. But you didn't listen to me! Now, suffer!" Lina said with an angry face.
"But, I don't feel anything right. I want to help him this time." Dae Ju said with a low voice.
"What did you say? You want to help? But who?" Lina asked being confused and also anxious.
"Johnnie. I think he is innocent this time." Dae Ju said while thinking about something. He took a long breath.
"Why you are going behind him? Please, don't involve anywhere else! I beg you!" Lina was too much worried and said. Dae Ju stood up from his seat and went to Lina. He sat on his knee and make her look at him. She has to look below as he was sitting on the floor.
"Lina-ah! Do you know why I like you?" he asked softly.
"Hey! What are you doing? He is watching!" Lina felt embarrassed and looked another way.
"Let him watch." Dae Ju said to Lina then he looked at Choi San. San acted like he was so hungry that their work didn't impact on him at all. He was continued eating.
"Hey! Look at me! Learn something for your future! You are gonna need these tips!" Dae Ju said to San. He looked at them though he was shy too.
"Stop it!" Lina told him to get up.
"Lina-ah!" he called her with a very soft voice. She looked at him. Her cheeks have turned red. But it's more looking like she wore makeup on her cheeks.
"You have always supported me. That's why I could come to this far. If you weren't there, I would have shattered until now. I couldn't find a way but you showed me one. I tried my best to go on the right way because you enlightened the way for me. After I came, every single people thought I am a crazy person. But you stayed beside me, console me. I can't think of my life without you now. It will be empty if you won't be there. So, can't you please stay with me this time too? I am sure nothing can hamper me if you will stay with me." Dae Ju said with his soft voice to melt her heart as he needs her help now.
"But, you can't tell about your future! That's what I am worried about," she said and looked another way. Dae Ju holds her chin and makes her look at him once again.
"Remember when I have been possessed? I tried to kill you then..." he couldn't finish his sentence as Lina hold his mouth to stop him.
"Stop! He is hearing!" She pointed at Choi San who was listening to them as if he was listening to a story from his grandma. When both of them looked at him, he digs into his food again. But he was confused and also curious to know what happened to them.
"You tried to kill her?" San astonished.
"He was possessed. But, he is fine now!" Lina smiled.
"That's what I am trying to say! If you weren't there, I would have finish myself because I couldn't find any hope for live! But you cured me. Now, I am fine! If you stay beside me, I will be fine no matter what!" he said and hold her hands.
"What do you want me to do?" Lina understood what he was trying to do. She exceeded her hand and asked. That hurts Dae Ju's ego because someone else was watching him and he told him a while ago to learn by seeing him.
"Um-hm!" coughing like this he stood up and went back to his seat.
"You have to do one work for me," he said proudly. Lina looked at him curiously.
"Let's catch the original jerk this time!" he said again and smiled.
