Chapter 2
Behind The MaskByunghee’s POV
HE? He’s the boy whom I met in the street…. He helped me?
I went back to the receptionist and asked if she has that boy’s phone number or address. “Sorry he didn’t tell that” she said. “Okay, I’ll leave then…” I said. I walked to the exit door but I remembered something and came back to the receptionist. “Sorry, I forgot. How about the hospital bill?” I asked. “That boy paid it, but not fully-paid yet. He only paid a bit. He said that he will come back here again and paid it fully. “I’ll pay now, full” I said while taking my credit card. “And… if he comes here again, please return the money that he paid” I added. “Yes, I will” she said.
I returned to my apartment and found someone whom I didn’t expect. “JOON? MIR? Why are you here?” I was really shocked when I saw them in front of my door. “When you called me, I heard crash. We were worried and decided to call your appa to ask for your new address. We didn’t tell him why we asked because they might be worried about you” Joon said. “Thanks, guys” I said and unlocked the door. “You got hit by car?” Mir asked. “Yes, it was because I wasn’t careful” I said. “Is it still painful?” Joon asked. “Not really” I said. “Nobody helped you? You’re new in this place…” Mir said. “Actually, one person helped me” I said. “Who was it?” they asked. “That’s the problem! I don’t know who was he! He even paid a little for the hospital bill. I just wanna say thanks” I said. “He? Boy?” Joon asked. “Yes! A boy! He wore mask covering his face except the eyes and hair” I said. “He wore a mask? That’s mysterious…” Mir said. “He has a pair of pretty eyes” I added. “Byunghee-ya… you wanna meet him again just to say thanks?” Joon winked at Mir. “Don’t you have additional reasons?” Mir smirked. “No! What are you two thinking about?” I asked. “Haha, you’ll know soon. Mir, let’s go home!” Joon said. “Okay, we’ll leave, Byunghee-hyung” Mir said. “Okay, bye!” I said.
They left already, I went outside and tried to find that boy. AH! I found him! He’s walking to somewhere and I followed him without knowing. He brought a pen and a book again, that’s strange. I followed him until he went inside a small apartment. He went up by lift and I went to the receptionist. “Sorry, can I know that boy name?” I asked. “Who? That boy who can’t speak?” he asked. “The boy who just went up, he wears a mask” I explained. “Yes, his name is Yang Seungho” he said. “Wait, you said that he can’t speak??” I asked. “Yes, he can’t speak. Because of that he always brings a book and pen to communicate” he said. Ah… so that’s the reason, poor boy. “Does he live here alone?” I asked. “Yes, I don’t know much about him. He hasn’t paid for the rent here. Actually, I felt bad for him, but… I don’t own this apartment so…” he explained. “He hasn’t paid for how long?” I asked. “Two years. He doesn’t have a fixed job, he used his money to eat” he said. Two years? That’s really… “Let me pay it fully” I said to the receptionist. “Are you sure?” he was so surprised. “Yes” I took out my credit card. “But it will be expensive” he said. “It’s okay” I said.
Seungho’s POV
Life is hard. But I have to bear with it, work harder! I need to pay for that boy’s hospital bill and pay for the rent. Because I can’t speak like others do, searching for job will be difficult. It’s worse because I have scars on my face, so I need to cover it by using mask. I’m a weird person in people’s eyes. I took some money and went down. I went to the hospital again, I wanted to pay some. I went to the cashier and write down on my book ‘I’m here for paying some money for the boy who had accident two days ago’. The cashier-lady looked at it and smiled. “The boy had paid it fully. He asked me to return your money” she said and gave me the money. I can’t believe it, he paid it fully? Since I got more money, I went back to the apartment and went to Mr. Lim, he’s the receptionist. I wrote again ‘I want to pay a little for the rent’ I took my money and gave it to him. He returned it back to me “Someone already paid it for you until the next year” he said. WHAT? I was really surprised. I don’t have any friend of family here, then who?
“You must be curious about who is it… here” he gave me a piece of paper. It says ‘Jung Byunghee, Premier Coex Center Seoul, Room 103’ wait… that’s a luxurious and expensive apartment. Who’s this guy?
