YESUNG: what a scary place.

SHINDONG: you will never find an apartment who is cheap like this.

YESUNG: I know but have you think that you should decorate it.

SHINDONG: well, I’m not really the landlord, only substitute.

YESUNG: Excuse me

                Seojae turns and runs to her room.

YESUNG: I sold my condominium and start to live in a normal way.

RYEOWOOK: but, it is scary here *looks around*

YESUNG: I have to pay debt.

YESUNG: not yet, I still have debts so I have to earn.

KYUHYUN: we can lend you money

YESUNG: no, I want to earn money on my own.

                They all went inside the room.

                The two guys leave the apartment. Yesung is part on a ballad group named K.R.Y. Yesung has a lot of debts because of playing in casinos. The next day, Seojae is going to the school. She saw a guy holding paint.

YESUNG: annyeong haseyo

                Seojae runs out.

YESUNG: what is the girl’s problem?

                Noon, Yesung’s friends come and start the painting of the walls.

YESUNG: there was a girl occupying the rooftop and she is really shy.

KYUHYUN: I don’t know that you were a player, Yesung

YESUNG: I’m not! I’m just curious because she is really mysterious, she never speaks and the first encounter with her is bad, I accidentally open the door then the coffee she is holding poured on her.

RYEOWOOK: you should apologize.

YESUNG: I’ll do that.

                Meanwhile at the school

MINHO: take care, Ms. Seojae

                Seojae goes out in the car and Sehun was waiting for her.

KYU JAE: anio                                                                       

SEOJAE: stop following me

SEHUN: but, can’t I talk to you?

SEOJAE: yes, you can’t.

                Seojae runs.

CHEN: it seems like Seojae doesn’t likes you

                Chen put his arms over Sehun’s shoulders.

CHEN: you should not be serious to only one girl who doesn’t like you. You should be like me

                Chen blinks his eye to the girl but the girl isn’t satisfied.

SEHUN: you know, you should sing so girls will start flirting with you *push Chen*

                Meanwhile

                Minho bows and leaves. At the apartment, the boys are painting.

KYUHYUN: you should talk to the land lord to paint the walls outside.

YESUNG: well, I’ll try.

                Yesung goes to Shindong.

SHINDONG: what do you want?

YESUNG: about the apartment, I just like you to recommend to paint the walls.

SHINDONG: why would I?

YESUNG: because it looks scary from the outside and people can’t bear to go inside.

SHINDONG: I’ll ask the land lord later.

YESUNG: aren’t you the landlord?

SHINDONG: I’m not the landlord, I’m just a substitute.

YESUNG: where is the landlord?

SHINDONG: the landlord is busy this time. I’ll talk to her later.

YESUNG: her?

SHINDONG: Ne, a girl. Her family is scary. But, good thing she is kind.

YESUNG: where is she?

                Yesung left Shindong.

KYUHYUN: then, who?

YESUNG: she is not here, still busy.

RYEOWOOK: female?

YESUNG: ne

KYUHYUN: well, it is rare to hear that there is a female landlord.

SEOJAE:  ne

                Shindong send a message to Yesung.

YESUNG: “The landlord agrees and the paints will be delivered on Saturday. Shindong”

                 Meanwhile, Donghae is walking in the street while playing on his ball.

DONGHAE: where can I find some place that is affordable. I rarely use my apartment and the rental fee is expensive.

                He holds his ball.

DONGHAE: this ball will help me find it.

                He kicks the ball and it goes inside an abandoned house.

DONGHAE: what is this? *looks around*

SHINDONG: you there!

                Donghae looks at the guy who called him.

SHINDONG: what are you doing at this late night?

DONGHAE: I was looking for an apartment.

SHINDONG: you are in right place! The rent is really affordable.

                Shindong drags Donghae to his room.

SHINDONG: the apartment is really old but, it doesn’t fails. There are two occupants one in the rooftop and one at the last room at the third floor. There are no ghosts. You should not be too noisy since the occupant in the rooftop loves everything to be in silence.

DONGHAE: tomorrow, can I move?

SHINDONG: sure, but be careful tomorrow. The walls are going to be painted.

DONGHAE: ah… araseo

                Donghae signs the paper. The next day, Yesung goes down and found paints outside.

YESUNG: excuse me, Shindong, only the two of us are going to paint the wall?

SHINDONG: anio, the guard and my two friends are going here to help.

SEOJAE: me too.

SHINDONG: Ms. Seojae!

                Shindong goes to Seojae.

SHINDONG: Ms. Seojae, it’s okay for us. You should go inside and you will be tired

SEOJAE: it’s okay…

                They started the work. Suddenly, a taxi stops at the gate.

SHINDONG: the new occupant is here.

                Donghae goes inside.

SHINDONG: where do you want to stay?

DONGHAE: to where people are.

SHINDONG: 3rd floor 4th room.

                Donghae moved his things to his room.

DONGHAE: aish… why is the occupant here chose the last floor!?

                After a few minutes, Donghae is finish sending his things to his room. He plays his ball again. He kicks the ball and it hit a girl. The girl was about to fall but Donghae catch her. Donghae look at the girl’s eyes.

SHINDONG: young man, drop the Young girl!

                Donghae let go Seojae, she hits the floor.

SHINDONG: you should let go off her in a good manner! Are you hurt?

SEOJAE: ne…

SHINDONG: return to your room now.

                Seojae left the boys.

SHINDONG: you should be careful!

DONGHAE: sorry, I was just surprise from you

SHINDONG: you help us paint the walls

DONGHAE: araseo.

                Donghae join the others in painting.

YESUNG: Yesung

DONGHAE: ah…the ballad singer!

YESUNG: you know us?

DONGHAE: ne, you have the artistic voice!

YESUNG: thank you. I thought no one will not recognize me.

                After a few days, the apartment is fully furnished.

SHINDONG: aish… I never saw Ms. Seojae again.

                They were resting at the gate and a car stop by.

SHINDONG: oh… Ms. Seojae

                Seojae goes out from the car. Seojae  walks near to the door.

SHINDONG: annyeong haseyo, Ms. Seojae *bows*

                Seojae ignores and trying to hide her face.

SHINDONG: aish… Donghae, this is your fault. The day when you hit her with the ball, she doesn’t want to see the outside again! *scratches head*

DONGHAE: doesn’t want to see the outside again?

SHINDONG: well, she locks herself in the rooftop and only goes out  when going to school.

DONGHAE: how about her needs?

SUHO: someone delivers it here and I will take it to her rooftop.

YESUNG: is she rich?

SUHO: yes

DONGHAE: how about her parents?

SHINDONG: argh… I feel so hungry, I will go out and buy noodles for me.

                Shindong left the boys. Meanwhile, Donghae make hot chocolate for Seojae.

DONGHAE: “I’m sorry for our first meeting. I gift you a mug with hot chocolate      Donghae” *smiles* I hope she will forgive me

                Donghae goes to the rooftop and place the cup on the table and knocks at the door and hide. The door opens and Seojae went out. She saw a hot chocolate on the table, she took it and goes inside.

DONGHAE: she didn’t at least say thank you.

SEOJAE: thanks

                Donghae suddenly move backwards. He can see Seojae on the window.

DONGHAE: you should at least call my name. You scared me.
