3rd Midnight: Housemaid. (1/1)
- Mwoh? - I frown, I must look like I just have an eyebrow - What did you just say?- Your name... - she frowns too - Jun-hyung, Junhyung... is that so?- How did you know that? - I ask a bit too rude.I know I really look scary now but I feel confused. About her, knowing my name and all this shit about her memory. It feels like someone decieved me, lied to me, taking me like a fool. I hate it.- Just... - her voice shakes - It just came into my head when I saw you staring at me.- I was not staring! - I get up and point at her - This person... really...- You did stare at me - she blinks her eyes.- Look here... I did not - I keep arguing, like a stubborn kid.- Look at this all grown up man - she mutters - Arasso, you didn't.- Are you fooling around with me? - I raise an eyebrow and cross my arms over my chest.- It's cold, can I go out now?I check the water and It's still warm. She must feel it cold since her body is cold too. I get the feeling that I'll spent a lot of money on this girl.- Huh - I nod and pick up a towel, looking away from her - Here.I feel uncomfortable around this girl, really. I have seen a lot of naked girls and that was nothing on me. But just by the sound of the water moving under her feet and the touch of the towel disappearing from my hand make me feel uneasy. Not in a good way, It's not what you are thinking.- So this is how I look like... - she mutters, looking at her own reflection on the mirror.- Yah! I'm still here! Can't you see me, huh!? - I hiss once I realize that she didn't cover herself yet.- Huh... that's right - she covers herlself in a annoyingly slow motion - It's not right to show your body to a boy. You're a boy.- Indeed, but scratch the "boy" thing - I smirk - I'm a man.- Arasso, arasso - she answers with a poker face - You, man Junhyung; me, girl Hyun Ae. That sounds better?- You really... - I sigh and facepalm myself - Stay here, huh?I leave her looking at herself and go back to the room to pick up clothes for her. I remember Junsung left some clothes here... just in case he'd come to visit.I take the clothes of my brother, that might fit her well, and leave them on the bed. I try to check on her one more time without her noticing. It's easy since she seems to be on her own world, as I stare at her, trying to find some clues. But all I can take out from this shit is that she has no common sense, like a newborn baby inside the body of a grown woman. A sturbbon girl.- Junhyung! - she shouts from the bathroom.- Junhyung... - I mutter - I'm Junhyung-ssi for you!- Huh! Grown man Junhyung-ssi~! I'm hungry! - she pokes out her head and look at me with puppy eyes.- This won't do... - I sigh and take my phone again.Then, I notice that the book is still there, on the bed. My eyes move from it to her face, and then again to the book. Hana said that she can't see it. I have to keep it somewhere I know she won't touch it. I pick it up and walk into my wardrobe. She won't dare to look into the drawer of my underwear, right?- Is there something wrong? - she asks me, taking me by surprise.- You. You, being here. It's all wrong. I don't know why you had to end up in here... - I try to control myself, but It's useless - You'll leave this house... Soon. Until then, shut up and listen to all I have to say.**That's what I wanted to say but... I can't. Why? She has these devil-like eyes that keep my mouth shut. The fact that she's wearing a towel and I know what is under it, don't help either. And, like Hana said, I feel something weird about this girl.- I want to verify something.- What? - she tilts her head to the side with curiosity.- Come here.She hesitates at first but then walks toward me. I keep my arms up and wide open, hinting her what I want her to do.- Do you need... a hug? - she frowns confused.- Just like you did then, when you pushed us from th-... Ani - I clear my throat - Ah~! Just do it, huh!?I take her arm and pull her closer. Her arms surround me by my waist and her head resting on my chest slowly. I hug her tighter, trying to revive that moment when we "jumped" from the cliff.It feels the same, like hugging cold air. But It's more dense now, like It has more consistency. I feel that weird feeling too, her body starts to grow in my arms. Slowly, I feel her more and more like a "real person", as she feels more warm, more alive.You took it from me? I made you feel like you are alive, right? I thought I'll feel you like a leech sucking my blood softly. But, why does it feel good, huh? I know you're taking it from me and I don't even know If this is bad for me.I stare down and she has her eyes closed, with a peaceful look on her face. If this goes on like this, she'll fall asleep on me. I stop hugging her, dropping my arms to my sides but It seems like she doesn't get the indirect.- Yah... You said you were hungry.- Huh? - she moans and loosens her grip on me - I did? - She finally leaves me go and rubs her eyes. - Babo girl... - I mutter - Put that on, I'll bring you something to eat.Once I go back into the room with a bowl with milk and cereals, I find her sitting on the floor with her head resting on the bed.- What is wrong with you, huh? Hana made you a body with narcolepsy or what? - I hiss, picking her up for the third effing time today.I go out from my room and sigh, knowing that I won't sleep on my bed tonight. I sit on the couch and take out my phone from my pocket, typing a text as fast as my fingers can." Hyung, let's meet tomorrow. I'll explain it all to you.I'll treat you to eat lunch. "After I write it, I drag myself to the kitchen to take a can of coke while I wait for his reply. I need my coke desperately. I know there's something I forgot but hyung's reply keeps me from thinking about it and I forget it again." I was sleeping. You know it, right?You brat... Just wait until I get my hands on you.Arasso! Tomorrow at 1PM.If you come late... YOU ARE DEAD, HUH!? "I knew he was asleep and I knew that he can't hold back his curiosity about this girl. I smile triumphant as I take a sip of my coke, that tastes even better now that I caught this cat-like hyung of mine.Of course there's no way I'll tell him the truth, he won't believe it anyway. But I need his help for this issue with the I'm-not-a-ghost girl. I rest my tired legs on the larget part of the white couch, leaning my head back too. I think about all he things I have to take care tomorrow and, without noticing it, leaving my poor coke there, I fall asleep. I know there's something I forget...oOoWhen I wake up next morning, I feel two eyes one me. What a creepy way to wake up this early in the morning. When I finally fix my own sight, I notice that she sits right next to me, curled in a fetal position, staring at me.- Mwoh-ah~! - I moean, stretching myself - What time it is?- Time? - she tilts her head to the side - Ah! Time! - You forgot that too? - I shake my head and check my phone - It's 9AM. Since when are you here? - I rub my eyes.- Since... 7-6AM? - she scratch the back of her neck - My stomach made weird sounds and I couldn't sleep anymore.- That "weird sound" is your stomach crying to be fed. I bothered myself last night, making food for you and you fell asleep before eating it! - I hiss - So troublesome.She gets on her knees on the floor and lower her head to the ground, surprising me.- Naega jal mothetsuh (It was my fault) - she bows again - Mianhae-yo, I won't do it again.- Y-Yah! Get up! - she made me stutter, shit! - It wasn't something so wrong for you to be kneeling in front of me. It's not like I went to the countryside and picked up the cereals myself.- Shouldn't I do this when I do something wrong? - she frowns confused - Isn't it? I remember it from somewhere.- I think you watched a lot of dramas before you lost your memory, brat - I hit her forehead slightly.- Ah! Ahpa-yo! Babo grown man Junhyung-ssi - she mutters to herself so I won't hear it.- By the way, why didn't you turn on the TV? - I ask curious - I know you won't get bored of looking at me but...- I didn't know how to turn it on, there's no 'ON' button anywhere.- You... - I chuckle - You have to use the remote, babo!- The remote... that's right! How can I forget something like that? - she holds her head and make a mess with her hair.- You look like a creepy scarecrow, go and fix yourself while I make breakfast.When she finally gets up from the floor and walks toward my room I notice that she wears clothes. The shirt, almost fits her thanks to these boobs she has. The same for the underwears. I can't lend her mine since they'd be too big, even when she has that ass. She has a great body but she isn't my style at all. At least she remember how to wear clothes, It seems she regained a bit of common sense.I go into the kitchen and set two bowl with milk on the table and before I go out of the kitchen, leading toward there, that girl comes out from my room and runs to sit on the table with her mouth slightly open.- Close your mouth, you're going to drool on the milk - I sit facing her.- Jal meokkesseumnida~! - she sings before picking up the spoon.It seems that there are things she remembers easily like how to wear clothes, how to behave when there are other people around, how to eat,... My name...- There are some rules you must follow while you are here, you know? - I have to hold back my laugh when she lifts her head with her mouth full of cereals.- Huh - she nods, still looking really funny.- You can't touch my things, you can't go out while I'm not here, you can't leave others to see you, you can eat whatever you want while I'm not here, you can use the bathroom of my room since there's only one. The guess room will be ready soon. Meanwhile, you'll sleep on the couch. Arasso?- Huh! - she nods and tries to swallow the food inside her mouth - But... Can I watch the TV?- You can. But! You can't make a mess with the channels - I point at her as she was a kid - And +19 chennels are forbbiden.- 19... I think I'm older than that. Maybe 21, ani... 22? - she tilts her head to the side.- I'm 24 years old and You can't watch them bacause I say so! Arasso? You brat, arasso!?- A-Arasso! - she narrows her eyes and looks away - Why did you get mad over that?- It's for your own sake, huh? - Damn it! I act like her effing father!It's not like I look at these channels since I feed my little friend really well but just for fun, when the guys come over or I'm just bored, I watch it. I'm not sure If she knows what "+19 channels" mean but It's up to her If she watches or not. I won't be here to check on her. But It'd be funny If she gets caught by me while watching porn. Really funny.- I won't watch them... I don't like watching porn. It's boring - she states suddenly, making me choke - Kenchana?I drink a bit of milk, trying to make the knot in my throat go down. I feel like my eyes are about to pop out, looking at her dumfounded. So you remember "these" things too...- I have to get ready. I have to leave soon - I finally speak, after a while of awkward silence. While I feel embarrassed, this girl looks rather normal, eating peacefully.But... Why do I care? Why I just told her what I'll do or not? Why do I feel weird around her and the air is awkward between us? It's like there's something I must feel guilty for.I shake the thoughts out of my mind and lead to my room, leaving that glutton enjoying something as simple as a bowl of cereals.I take a shower and get ready to go out. Our manager told me to get rid of this color whenever I can before we come back to our packed schedules. I want to get rid of this pruple color too. I like it but It was really a risky choice. And now, I have to take care of it before It fades away and my hair grew up even more. 10:15AM. I settled it at... 11PM.- Shit! I'm already late - I leave the room in a hurry and pick up my wallet, car keys and phone from the table - I'm going! Don't step a foot out of the house, arasso?- Ara-sso~! - she tries to say while choking.- Eat whatever you want for lunch. I'll be late.- Junhyung-ssi! - she shouts from the kitchen.I can hear her steps, coming closer to the front gate and, then, her head popping out from the right wall.- Mwoh-ah!? - I yell startled.- Jal ga... yo? - she smiles slightly, for the very first time - Sorry, I think there's a problem with languages in my head, It's all messed up a bit.- Huh... huh - I frown confused - I'll be back.Still in a daze I walk toward my car and pick up the disguise kit, sunglasses and cap, from the glove compartment. Even If I use them, It'd be obvious since wearing brand clothes is not a good disguise. I chuckle to myself before closing my eyes and rest my head on the seat.- All she does is being confused all the time... - I sigh - And that confusion of hers make a mess with my own thoughts.oOoAfter getting there late, more than two hours of work trying to get rid of that purple color, I have brown hair again. I've to rush again since Hyun Jin hyung must be waiting already, he keeps calling me.- I'll be right there! Something came up! Shit! - I hiss.- Yah! Stop swearing in front of your hyung punk!- Ah~! Shut up! You do it too! - I sigh - I'm driving, hang up!I drive slowly and carefully just to make him wait a bit more. I love it when he's pissed cause of me. What can I say? I'm a stubborn dongsaeng. Also, I have to come up with something to explain about Ghost Girl and convince him about what I want him to find out for me.At last, I reach where we agreed to meet. He's already there, waiting with an angry face on him. He's pissed, I won again. I park right next to him and lower the window.- Hyung!- I don't know what are you talking about, I'm not your hyung - he hisses.- Come on~! - I chuckle - People might think we are a gay couple fighting! Aish! I was late for this! - I take off the cap.- Huh! You look like a human being again! - he laughs.- Yah! People are looking at us! - I growl - Get on already or I won't treat you to meat and beer.- Arasso~! - he says with a really cheesy voice.- Ugh! Hyung, If I didn't know all the things you have done with girl I'd think that you really are not straight - I tsk.- Shut up, I want meat~!I leave him be and drive right to that resturant where you can order the food and take it to eat outside. I don't want to make a fuss so early. As always, hyung takes the order and I drive us to a quiet place where we can talk peacefully.- So... - he takes a sip of his beer. Me, coke - What are you going to tell me? It can't be that... Is she pregnant!?- And you call yoursefl a doctor!? - I tsk - We're doomed If someone like you is going to save us.- I don't know! I'm confused with all this sudden behave of yours! - he sighs - I know she isn't pregnant but that was the only thing I could come up with.- She... - I look down at the food - has amnesia.- PU-PUHAHAHAHA...! Really!? Wait - he takes a deep breath - It's true? Are you kidding? It's this some kind of drama!?There he goes with his babbling, spitting question after question with no end... I take a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, to shut him up. I had enough time to think about the plot of my lies before he started with his monologue.- Now is my turn, huh? - he nods - She lived with her parents in the states, her parents and mine were friends since high school but didn't have the chance to meet so often. They came here to meet with their family but got into a car accident. She survived but not her parents. She got hit so that's why she can't remember anythi-- Junhyung-ah... I didn't fall for it since you said you'll explain it to - he sighs - I don't know where you get yourself into but...- Hyung, trust me. All this was a lie but her situation is real. She remembers nothing! - I take off the cap and mess my hair, about to pull it.- You must leave her to some siblings or the authorities. I'll do it for you If you want, huh? I-- Hyung! I'm telling you that I can't, I can't explain it! She has to be with me, huh? Nobody else!What I'm doing right now? It must be that I really believe in that witch's words. It must be that I have gone crazy... sure. It's that. But Do I really care for her that much to endure all this? - I have no choice. All I can say is... - I must be crazy to say this - She'll die without me, literally.- Yeah... - he says with his eyes about to pop out - Both of you might die cause of love. You must like her so much.- Hyung! - I whine, starting to lose my strenght - All I need of you is to find something about her past or her siblings. Something.- Arasso, arasso - he pats my shoulder - I'll try to find out something. Send me a pic and all the info you have about her.- Thanks - I say sincerely.- It's great to hear these words from our Ae gi-ah (baby) - he pinches my cheeks.- Do you want to di-... Wait! Ae gi? - I try to remember it and... - Ah! SHIT! That old ahjumma!- Ahjumma? - he frowns - What ahjumma?- That ahjumma my mom hired to be my housemaid! Today is the day when she comes over to clean!- What is wrong with th- Ouch! She's in your house right now!? Why didn't you take her with you, babo-ah!?- With what? Wearing my bro's clothes, huh!? Aish! I'll leave first! - I start to run - Go by yourself, hyung! This is urgent!- This brat... If he isn't in love, what is this then? - he chuckles.oOo- Ahjumma! - I go into the house like a mad person.- Oh! Ae gi-ah - Don't ask me - I thought you'll be late today too.- Huh? - I take a glance at the house, clean and perfect. There's no sign of the ghost girl. Maybe she left? Maybe she never existed!- Ae gi-ah, did you have breakfast with someone this morning? - she asks picking up her things, getting ready to leave since she knows I don't get days off often and I like to be alone.- Huh... a friend suddenly came.- I see - she smiles brightly - I'll leave then. See you on monday. Enjoy your vacations.- Take care ahjumma, be careful on your way home - I try to smile a bit.She asked about breakfast so, that means, she is real. Now, I'm really start to feel worried. - Where the hell is this girl? She can't go anywhere! I clearly told her not to leave! - I walk angrily toward the wardrobe, to hang up my clothes - But I told her not to be seen by other people too...Suddenly, I hear a light thud followed by a soft moan. I walk slowly toward the closet and see a tiny piece of clothe trapped by the door. I open it and find her in a mess: a leg here, the arm there... her neck must hurt for sure.- Ghost Girl... - I leave out a sigh of relief. Relief?- Huh? Junhyung-ssi~ - she whines, trying to move - Did that ahjumma leave already? - Huh Oh! Be careful! - I have to grab her arm so she'll stand on her feet and not her face - How long have you been there? She looks pale and feels cold.- I ate breakfast and watched TV for a while and heard the door - she stretch her sore body - I hid in your room but, then, she came in. I didn't know what to do so I ended up in there.- She usually comes at 11PM. You have been there 3 effing hours!? - I don't know... - she massages her temples - When I was inside the closet things kept coming into my head and It hurt.- It hurt? What about now? Did you remember anything!?- Ah! I did! - she leads me to the living room and turn on the TV - This! I know this!- This... - I point at the TV raising an eyebrow - A cooking channel?- Ani! I know how to cook! - she chuckles - I suddenly remembered myself cooking. I think I was a good one, I must try it for sure.- Wait - I take the remote a turn up the volume - You understad what they are talking?- Huh! - she nods joyfully - Wae?- It's english. You can speak english?- I guess so? - she answers in english, I gift her with my precious poker face - I think I do.- That's why the mess in your head about languages - I sigh - Did you eat?You look a bit better now. It's because you're happy about the cooking thing? Bacuse I touched you? Or... You felt that I was worried?Ne, I was worried. And I feel guilty too. I must confess that, at first, I feel happy thinking that she might have left or not even exists. But I remembered that she exists, that she's real so her story must be true too. That she has to be by my side. If not..." ...She will fade away like dust... " If something like fate does exist, It's really cruel, since her life ended up in my hands. I don't know how long I'll endure this, for how long I can try to act like this doesn't bother me. But It does. I don't like the fact that I have to take care of someone else when I don't even take good care of myself. I hate when people keep nagging around me, when they ask me to do things I don't want to do, someone else touching my things,... You can resume it like: I'm fucking selfish.- Junhyung-ssi... - she calls my name softly, bringing me back from my daze - Can I ask a favor?- What now? - I sigh - You're angry, right?- Ne, but It's not that - she shakes her eyes slightly.- Then, what? - I ask reluctantly.- Can you say my name once? I'm afraid that I will forget it again If nobody says it - she lowers her head and bites her lower lip, avoiding my eyes, that might pierce her with my stares.Uh oh... I didn't expect this. Worry, culpability, now pity,... These feelings... I'm really concerned about this girl. I won't be able to throw her away even If I tried. Damn it! I thought I have them under control, that they won't show up again! I'm sure this is a spell from that witch but... I don't really feel like seeing her cry right now.- Hyun Ae-ah. I call her name, softly. Trying to sound warm and caring. But I do know the only thing that will come out from my lips will m style="text-align:center;">have no feelings. It might sound like It has no feelings but... I felt it. I feel the warmth in his words inside me. __________oOo__________Here we are!!! ^^ Chapter 3Hope you liked it and comment A LOT!About the age, I wanted to keep their real age but since this is a spin off, time has to pass for them too! >.< It makes not sense If they ended their studies, Kyung Mi's pregnant, married and working with 20yo.Even though, I still think they ALL are a bit young BUT!
