“Today’s weather will consist of partly cloudy skies. Highest temperature would be 14 degrees Celsius, and there would be a tiny percent chance of rain,” the reporter implied as he waved his hand over the big map with animated clouds and sun scattered onto different areas. “However, the whole country will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms, becoming cloudy with widespread rains over the city of Seoul by Friday.”

Seunghyun sighed as he took a sip from his warm cup of coffee. His ceiling still isn’t fixed; if he can’t replace it by weekend, he might as well be swimming in the tank with TOP. He frowned at his roommate who was sitting quietly before the coffee table.

“Is there by any chance you could call your comrades now?” Seunghyun bit his lip, a bit tensed in asking the question. He didn’t care whether she’ll get mad at him; he just wanted his roof fixed as soon as possible.

“Sorghum’s a rather distant place,” she replied with that once again stern voice of hers. “The fastest travel could take days or like I said, a week.”

Seunghyun sighed again, knowing the hopeless situation. He opened his laptop and began typing the words ‘How to fix roof’ on the search bar. He let out a sigh once more as he found a video explaining the materials to be used.

Being born as a rich kid, he didn’t know a single thing about carpentry and technical stuff. Last time he tried helping his father build a birdhouse, he struck the hammer on his father’s finger instead on the nail. When he tried to drill a small hole during the installation of an aircon unit, he lost control of the machine, making long jagged lines on the wooden wall. From then on, he was never allowed to help again.

“I’m going outside for a bit,” Seunghyun called as he picked up his wallet and keys, shoving it into the pocket of his jacket. Bom was busy feeding TOP with fish food when she turned around to meet his gaze.

“What’s the matter?” Seunghyun asked. As much as he didn’t want to make a suggestion, he couldn’t help but comply to those curious eyes, “Do you want to tag along?”

For the first time, a small smile appeared on her lips. He didn’t know if that’s the first time he saw her smile, or maybe he was always to notice her body. Although it was faint and lasted only for a moment, he felt his heart thump a bit.

“Can we bring TOP with us, too?”

“No.” Seunghyun frowned, “Fish can’t live without water—and there’s no way I’m bringing that heavy tank outside.”

Bom’s smile disappeared then gazed back to TOP, “Oh well.”

Seunghyun couldn’t believe sometimes how childish Bom could be. He’s accustomed to see a prim and proper Bom, always straight-faced—like a serious general in an army. But whenever he sees her fascinated by simple things, and especially TOP, he couldn’t help but feel happy. I wonder if this girl has ever smiled before?

“Hammer, prybars, shovels, caulking gun, compressor, nail gun... Son, are you sure you’re just going to fix a roof?” the old man behind the counter spoke as he read the long list of materials that Seunghyun wrote a while ago from the internet. “It looks to me like you’re making one.”

“Ah...I-I’m certain I’m going to fix a roof,” Seunghyun uttered, his hands inside his pockets.

“What’s the damage?” the old man spoke in a crooked voice again, “Leak?”

“W-well there’s this big hole...”

The man leaned forward, scrutinizing him through his spectacles. Oh boy, Seunghyun thought. Could I just tell him that practically a big spaceship came out of nowhere and crashed into my house?

“I-I stepped on the roof while I was trying to fix the antennae.”

The old man’s eyes widened, “Well, I’m a bit surprised to know that.” Considering Seunghyun’s built was light enough to destroy the roof, the vendor just assumed that the house was old.

“Are you sure you can fix it by yourself?” the old man uttered once again, taking out the boxes of nails and screws, “Replacing a hole is not as easy as you think.”

The man disappeared to the stock room, rummaging through the boxes. “Do you have a helper?” the man had asked again.

Seunghyun took in a deep breath, “Yes.” Just then his eyes flew to the red-haired lady who was looking at the different designs of doorknobs, located right across the counter. I do hope she can help me.

“Aish!” the old man grunted, who was behind the counter already, making Seunghyun step back in surprise. Is he a ninja or something?

“My boy, don’t tell me, that you’re going to make your young wife help you with this,” the vendor chuckled. Seunghyun’s eyes widened upon hearing the word wife. “A-aniya...She’s not my wife.” To be honest, he did assume they would look like a couple, but not as husband and wife!

The old man sighed. Kids these days are helpless. All they know is how to use the computers.

Right on time, a fair-skinned young man entered the store. He was shorter than Seunghyun by a few inches; his body was well-built because of working out. He had murky hair, cut in a Mohawk style. Judging his slightly sweaty appearance, he seemed to be working for this shop. “Youngbae-ah! Perfect timing.”

The muscled man took steps towards the counter, ignoring the customer. Dropping a piece of paper, he spoke in a slightly high voice, “Here you go Harabeoji...I got the list from Jungmin-sshi, he said he wanted the supplies delivered this afternoon.”

“Youngbae-ah. Help this lad fix his roof.” The man uttered before heading to the stock room once again, his hands carrying another carton of pegs. The guy Youngbae, as he was called, looked up to the tall Seunghyun, “What’s the problem? Did ya get a leak or something?” A slight smudge of grease was evident on his forehead as his forehead creased. This guy’s eyes are so small, I sometimes wonder if he’s even opening them.

“I was fixing the antennae when I fell from the roof...It’s been two days already that my bedroom is wide open and I’m worried for the rains coming this weekend. Can you give me a hand?”

“Sure dude,” Youngbae flashed a friendly grin, his eyes completely transforming into two thin lines, “I’ll help you pack the supplies—don’t worry, I have the complete tools, so all you have to buy are the materials for replacement.” Seunghyun sighed in relief, knowing an expert would save his life from further catastrophe.

Youngbae excused himself to the storage room to change his shirt. Bumping against the red-haired lady, he was immediately stunned by her beauty. Weird hair color, but amazingly stunning.

“I apologize,” he spoke, fixating his eyes on her round orbs. Bom only bowed back, then walked away heading to Seunghyun. Youngbae sighed in disappointment, as his assumption was true.

“Bom-ah,” Seunghyun whispered as he walked beside him; now heading back to the apartment, “Where did you hide the capsule?”

“It’s in the living room,” she replied nonchalantly, “Why?”

Seunghyun gulped. Although the house wasn’t in a mess, some of Bom’s ‘unusual stuffs’ were there. If Youngbae sees those, he might as well be making a list of lies already.

“Nice apartment,” Youngbae uttered as they all stood on the doorstep. Seunghyun inserted the key into the knob, opening and entering quickly. Half-running to the living room, he took his blanket and covered the big broken capsule displayed at the corner of the living room, near the main door. When Bom flicked the lights on, Seunghyun had successfully covered all the ‘unusual items’.

Youngbae chuckled, “Dude, there was really no need for that. My apartment’s not even decent-looking as yours.”

Seunghyun only smiled in reply, panting a bit because of all the running, “Well then, shall we begin?”

“Oh crap.” Seunghyun muttered upon opening the last container of meat. It was only last week when he went to the grocery to shop for some food. He couldn’t believe his roommate’s appetite was three times greater than his. Yet, for some reason, he’s pleased to know that someone other than her sister appreciates his cooking.

“Seunghyun-ah,” Bom uttered from the living room, “TOP has nothing to eat for tomorrow.”

Seunghyun sighed once again. “That’s because you’re feeding it almost every hour!”

“But he’s always hungry!” Bom frowned.

Same goes with you, Seunghyun thought. Tomorrow’s going to be another workday, plus the fact that he’s going to be tired if he passes shopping tonight, Seunghyun decided to run the errand tonight.

“Stay close,” Seunghyun uttered as he and Bom walked together into the grocery store. “This place is pretty big, it’s easy to get lost.” And considering that Bom’s eyes sparkle everytime she sees food, he really need to keep an eye on this girl.

“Aish Bom,” Seunghyun grunted as they walked in the biscuits aisle, “You’re picking too much snacks! At least give me some space for the wet goods.”

Bom ignored his complaint and kept grazing at the numerous snack boxes arranged on the shelves. Seunghyun has never seen a girl so happy buying food in the grocery. She really is an alien.

As they arrived in the meat section, Seunghyun instructed Bom to watch over the cart while he buys meat. The cart wasn’t far enough from the meat items so Seunghyun can still glance to her in case she decides to run back to the biscuit section. But being naturally swift, Bom dashed off to the fresh goods section the moment Seunghyun went to business.

“Hello Ma’am,” a friendly saleslady cued as Bom passed by, “Try our new chicken nuggets. Fresh and made with all natural ingredients.” She handed over a tray of chicken nugget pieces with toothpicks on them.

Bom’s eyebrows raised, “Th-this is free?” Seunghyun told her that the food in the grocery are meant to be paid first at the cashier before eating.

“Yes ma’am.”

Bom took a piece from the tray with cautious eyes. She took a small bite, making sure that the food wasn’t contaminated or poisoned. When the strange flavor crept to her tastebuds, she began to eat the whole piece. The saleslady pleasantly smiled as she successfully captivated the taste of a customer.

“That was good wasn’t it, Ma’am? Buy our new product and yo--”

“Can I have another one?” Bom interrupted, oblivious to the saleslady’s advertising.

“O-Of course Ma’am...” the lady was now beginning to become worried and suspicious, especially with the hungry stare that Bom was giving to the free samples. Something’s wrong. Definitely wrong.

“What is going on here?” a slightly tall blonde-haired man entered the scene. He was wearing a black formal business attire; his hair wasn’t sleek yet neat, and he had a tiny mole on his right cheek. Overall, a good-looking young manager.

“I apologize,” Seunghyun bowed to the authority, “She didn’t mean to do any harm. I’ll pay for what she ate.” Crap, how quick can this woman get? I was only picking chicken meat for a second and here she was, eating like I’ve never fed her! If only my bugging conscience would’ve let me, I might have been running off back to the house pretending I didn’t know this crazy woman! Once again, some life this is.

The young manager saw the red-haired customer who was chomping off the remaining pieces of nuggets in the cooking pot. Nice hair color, he thought.

Lunging his arm to reach the lady’s shoulder, he uttered in a smooth, stern voice, “Ma’am, I’m afraid these samples are not only for your consumption, so if you could please—”

I never believed in cheesy soap operas, Seunghyun thought. Love at first sight theories are something only weak, and hopeless romantic people make up. Just looking at the guy gawking at the sight of the girl upon their first meeting is making me puke...And for the love of Pete...Am I seeing right? He's staring at her?!

---

“Seunghyun-hyung!” the blonde manager cheered upon realizing his old friend. They were now at the store’s office, where Bom was napping comfortably on the office lounge after munching on almost thirty pieces of nuggets.

“Hell Ji, I didn’t recognize you back there! You looked so awesome and professional dude!” Seunghyun grinned in reply. He and Jiyoung attended the same school during elementary and highschool, but separated due to different colleges. Jiyoung’s dad was a stock market shareholder, thus owning plenty of big business in Seoul. Being the only son, Jiyoung was going to be the heir of some of the business companies his father owned--and that includes the supermarket Seunghyun and Bom just went in to.

“All comes with the work,” Jiyoung smiled apprehensively. “So what do you do now? God, I haven’t heard anything from you since the highschool grad ball! I’ve been trying to e-mail you man!” His famous eye-smile and charming personality hasn’t changed.

“I’m fine dude,” Seunghyun smiled back, “I’m working under YG enterprises at the moment.”

“Oh wow! YG?” Jiyoung grinned as he poured some champagne on the two slender drinking glasses, “Those are one of the best stock holder companies—second to us. Here, have a drink.” He took a sip from his glass and smiled once again, “So, being a boss there must be a tough job huh? I can’t even believe you have time to go out and play.”

“Ahahahaha....” Seunghyun let a forced laugh. “I-It is. B-But you know, one has to be flexible to balance work and play.” Crap, how many more times should I lie today? I guess it’ll be fine as long as we won’t see each other again. Seunghyun took a long sip from the sparkling gold champagne, hoping they would drift to the next topic.

It was almost midnight when Bom and Seunghyun arrived home. Thanks to Jiyoung’s offer to give them a ride home, Seunghyun was saved from carrying the sleeping rock Bom.

Seunghyun placed her on the couch, carefully took off her shoes and laid a blanket over her. Such a beautiful lady this is, he thought. Her sleeping state was so angelic, no one could ever imagine she isn’t a human being. Maybe she's not an alien? Maybe she is an angel from heaven? Oh Lord, if ever that’s true, I humbly and with open arms, accept this blessing.

Seunghyun was kneeling before the sleeping alien, observing her. This was the first time he saw her sleeping, considering that he was an early sleeper and he lets Bom do the final chores.

She had long lashes; a tall, slender nose, and a pair of pink lips that were so plump and irresistible to touch. At the right corner of her lip, he noticed a piece of crumb. He reached out his finger cautiously, carefully removing the tiny obstruction from her lip. As he successfully executes the action, her lips suddenly parted, showing a tiny space between her lips.

Her lips...Looks undeniably soft...And tempting...

Seunghyun unconsciously began leaning his face towards the sleeping beauty, his heart beating fast.

Suddenly, Jiyoung’s voice suddenly ran up to his mind, immediately snapping him back to a realization.

“Since you and Bom aren’t together, mind if I make her mine?” 

"That's not something for me to decide," he whispered, suddenly standing up. He laid his beddings on the floor, watching Bom once more before letting his eyelids droop, unable to figure out why he was feeling very upset.
