i woke up at midnight feeling disturbed by noises. already knew who was it. im sungjae. that guy's bestfriend. he was my housemate. its already 6 years we've live together. i worked as a photographer and he was a writer. a famous blog writer. he wrote about many things. love, friendship, family and all. once, we always play together. snow boarding, skating, singing. we were best buddies.

     but, now he'd changed. after the day he received a letter three weeks ago, he no longer the guy that i knew. loving, caring person. now he was completely changed.

     "ilhoon-ah! stop making noises. i cant sleep!" the noises kept on continueing. i dont know what he was doing. ilhoon is the one that i've been talking about. the one who too obsess with his blog.

     the typing sound kept on disturbing me. i had no option but get up from my bed and moved towards his typing room. once, i opened the door, i saw him sitting there in the dark in front of his computer.

     I got goosebumps looking at him sitting like that. "Ya. Don't you know how to sleep? It's already 3am. Shut your damn computer and sleep!" i mad at him. Well if i don't, he will continue writting until tomorrow morning. That stupid guy.

     "I....got it.." he laughed before he shut the computer down.

     Scary. That's the only thing that i can describe about him at that moment. Anyway, after seeing him got into his bed, i close the door and sleep again.

 //the next morning//

     It's sunday but i saw ilhoon going somewhere. "where are you going? You don't have any class today right?" 

"Just somewhere near. I want to meet my friend."

    I nodded as he left me. I don't think there anything wrong to meet a friend. He also looks normal like before. I just sat at a sofa, watching tv. Sometimes i thought about our past. Ilhoon and i is a best friend since we're kids. Both of us are orphans. But for me,  as long as we're together, everything gonna be alright. 

'It's already 12am.  Why he didn't come back yet?' I keep on questioning myself.  'It's late. Should I look for him? '

    I took my car keys and headed to front door. I was about to open the door before my phone rang. It's my classmate.  "what is it?" I asked. 

"I saw ilhoon just now. He walk into a dark road alone. I wonder if he's going somewhere. " he said. 

    Ilhoon? Dark road?  But he's such a scaredy cat. Before I reply something, the door's opened from the outside. Illhoon showed up. 'wait. What?!' ilhoon just pass me by without greet me first.  He looks different from this morning. 

     As soon as he got into his room, I ask my classmate. "when did you saw him? And.... Where? "

"just about 5 minutes ago near our college. " he replied. I thank him and end the call. 

     I stared at ilhoon's room blankly. '5 minutes ago at our collage? Impossible! It took about half an hour to get to my college by bus from here. How can....?' I felt sudden chill at my bones.
