Although it was a bit uncomfortable having to sleep close together because the strings were too short, if they were tied with the string, he would be able to notice right away when Ka Jerim woke up, and Ka Jerim wouldn’t be able to move easily either.
“Even though you drank wine, you smell so sweet.”
Go Yoon quietly looked at Ka Jerim and then hugged him. Ka Jerim gave off the sweet scent of wine. As he quietly smelled that scent and opened his eyes, before he knew it, they were close enough for their noses to touch. What person would smell this sweet just from drinking wine? It should just be the smell of alcohol, but Ka Jerim was so sweet that he drew closer without realizing it.
Thump, thump, thump.
The heartbeat of the sleeping Ka Jerim was steady. A steadily beating heart sound. But when Go Yoon’s heartbeat overlapped with that heartbeat, unlike Ka Jerim’s slow heartbeat.
“You make my heart race.”
Go Yoon’s heart was beating at a very fast pace.
* * *
Ka Jerim, who opened his eyes in the morning, tried to get up from his spot to drink water because he was thirsty. But as soon as he tried to get up, he was surprised by his staggering body and opened his eyes wide, then tilted his head after finding the reason for why this happened.
“Why is this.”
The strings of his hooded sweatshirt and Go Yoon’s hooded sweatshirt were tied together. They were really tightly tied, so for him to get up, he would have to untie these strings or Go Yoon would have to get up together.
While struggling alone trying to untie the strings, Ka Jerim suddenly had no choice but to lie back down due to the force pulling him back sharply.
“Uh.”
“Let’s sleep more.”
Ka Jerim, who was held in Go Yoon’s arms in a dazed state, was surprised by Go Yoon’s face right in front of him.
Go Yoon, who was definitely someone who drank and slept yesterday, made his heart drop with his truly gorgeous face from the morning. But being surprised by Go Yoon’s face was brief as Ka Jerim’s heart almost stopped in a different sense because of Go Yoon, who was hugging him tightly and speaking in a husky voice.
“Hyung, you tormented me yesterday so I couldn’t sleep much.”
“……”
“Sleep, more.”

Episode 17
A nice apartment in a nice neighborhood. Ka Jerim looked like a child from a fairly wealthy family.
As I stood in front of the intercom with a tense face for a long time, a resident who was looking at me suspiciously opened the door with a key card and went in. Belatedly stepping inside with an embarrassed face, the elevator was already going up to the upper floors.
“Ah.”
While waiting for the elevator, I looked at the mirror hanging beside it and checked my condition today. The voice tone was okay. My face wasn’t swollen, and my outfit was neat and not excessive except for the hair color.
After checking the gift last, I let out a tense breath with a “Hoo.”
‘Take something. Even if you’re going home, if you’re going after a long time, you don’t go empty-handed.’
In my hands were full of health food gifts that Park Eden had given me. Park Eden seemed to know something, as he packed this and that for me with a face more excited than mine when I said I was going home. The weight wasn’t much, but perhaps because the burden I was feeling now was great, it felt heavy.
“Pull yourself together.”
The elevator finally arrived and I pressed the 9th floor. I stared blankly only at the floor numbers going up with a tense face and almost didn’t get off.
It was such an important day today, so what was I doing being so spaced out? Yoon hyung, who had been watching me with a screw loose since morning, had earnestly told me several times.
‘Hohyeon. I’m worried… Don’t show a weak side when you go there.’
Hyung told me that if my family looked at me strangely, to act shamelessly as if it was always like that, but since I knew nothing about the memory-related matters, to keep my mouth shut and just listen no matter what. However, there was a problem.
“I’m really terrible at acting.”
I was an incredibly bad actor. So I didn’t think I could pretend to be calm or shameless at all.
Anyway, I hesitated to press the bell while checking the floor and unit number several times to see if this was the right place, then finally pressed it.
Ding-dong~
The bell rang with a cheerful sound. But when there was no response even after time passed, I carefully pressed the bell again but.
Ding-dong, ding-dong~
“Is no one home…?”
No one was there. I had said in advance that I would come at 5 o’clock, but there was still no sign of anyone, so I checked the address again, but it was correct.
What should I do? It would look a bit strange to call Ka Jerim’s mother with the number Director Gye gave me… since it would be like calling to ask what the password to their house is. It would be better to go to a nearby cafe now and sit for a while before coming back.
After deciding that, I turned around and stopped moving, surprised by the person in front of me.
“Huh?”
I couldn’t believe what I had just seen, so I opened my eyes wide. It was Ka Jerim. Ka Jerim wearing a school uniform was in front of me.
“Ka Jerim?”
But even when I called out to him, he didn’t respond. As if watching an already recorded screen, Ka Jerim only repeated incomprehensible actions. After hesitating, he raised his finger in the air and pressed firmly, then raised his hand to pull something before walking away and disappearing.
Is it a ghost? While I stood there dazed, Ka Jerim appeared again. He raised his finger in the air again and pressed firmly, pulled again, and continued repeating the process of disappearing.
“Excuse me, can you hear me?”
I slowly approached him. Ka Jerim had no reaction as if he couldn’t see me. And when I got close to him, I finally understood what Ka Jerim was repeating.
“It can’t be the password.”
The position of the numbers on the door lock and the position where Ka Jerim was pressing firmly in the air matched. He was continuously repeating the action of hesitating in front of the door, pressing the password, and entering the house with a frightened face.
“296043”
I stood there and pressed the password as Ka Jerim had passed by. My hand passed through where his hand had been. The number he pressed, and the final # too. ‘Will this even open?’ I thought, just raising my head.
Beep~
……I didn’t think it would actually open, but it really did. What should I do? What should I do? With a flustered face, I flailed my hands in the air, then grabbed the door handle and opened it, and Ka Jerim’s vision continued.
As soon as Ka Jerim entered the house, he just bowed his head with a withdrawn face and quickly went into the room next to the kitchen.
“Wait, please wait.”
I quickly took off my shoes, hurriedly put down the gift next to the entrance, then chased after Ka Jerim, who was already far away.
“I said wait!”
I hurriedly opened the door to the room Ka Jerim had entered, and as soon as I opened the door, I froze with my mouth open at what I saw before my eyes.
“What. They’re all awards?”
There was no one in the room, but there were things that caught my attention.
One wall was densely filled with all kinds of awards. They were all awards Ka Jerim had received. Most were awards received up until elementary and middle school, and occasionally there were report cards attached. They were report cards with rankings in the top three of the entire school.
Whether Ka Jerim had been good at studying, from academic excellence awards to good conduct awards, service awards, merit certificates, science awards… it would be faster to ask which award was missing.
