You could feel that your relationship with Minsik changed after that incident. Instead of eating by yourself, you'd eat with him together even you cook sometimes as Minsik said you were a good chef. He also gave you a freedom to wander around the house and he bought you a notebook and some pens as you asked him so you could write something while you were there. It was only 10 am when you sat in your bed while you tried to write some ideas that you have so you could make a story from it. Meanwhile Minsik was lying on the floor in front of you bed as he playing with his game console.

Your thought trailed off from daydreaming to something else which made you called Minsik.

"Kwon Minsik." You called him.

"Hmm?"

"How long have a I been here? A week?" You asked.

"No, it's about 17 days. Why?" He said after he paused the game.

"Ah... so it's near the end of the month now? I think I need to pay the bills."

"Don't worry, I already did." He said.

"Ya! How could you do that? Now I feel burdened."

"There's no need to feel like that."

"Hah... you really full of surprise I guess." You said and went back to write what you left with. 

Minsik looked at you as his thought wondering about your personality. He always found it hard to read your mind. Like, how the hell you could talk casually to him? How could you not ask him to let you go? How could you feel relax like that? It wasn't like he not thankful for you acting like that, but still, it left a lot of questions to him.

"Hey..." He called you. "Did reading about psychology made your personality become so calm like this?" He asked. Now all of his attentions were for you.

"What?"

He repeated the question but this time he got up and sat on the edge of the bed, facing you.

"Hmm... I don't think so. Why?" You asked before you closed your notebook.

"Then why are you so calm like this? I know that you're so laid back but still, how can you..." He didn't finish the question.

"That's because I don't like stressing myself." You answered. "There's nothing good from it."

"But still... aren't you afraid of me?"

"That's not how we play." You looked at him, a curved appear on the edge of your lips.

Minsik was flustered at your remark but man, it made him like you more. 

"Tell me..." You said slowly. "What happened to you and your family?

Minsik's body froze in flash as soon as those words come out from your lips. He was shocked for sure.

"How did you...?" His voice came out so weak.

"Because I see you, I tried to learn about you. Your way of thinking, your way of speaking out your thoughts, your acts toward me and also there's no picture of you or your family in here. It only means one thing in your case, you put them all hidden somewhere or even burning them all. And I'm sure that something happen because you were sleep talking when you were sick that day."

Silent fell and you could see a mix emotions on his face, something new from his usual resting face expression.

"Why are you curious about it?" He asked.

"Because you take me here. Because you know everything about me but I know nothing about you. Because.... I want to know you." You whispered the last sentence as your expression soften.

The walls that Minsik built for his past start to break as you said those words.

"It's hard." He said.

"I know. But I'll wait."

"No..."

"I want to know you better."
