Description

I will shed myself of humanity and hold it within my aching chest, as if it will stop the burning.

On a dull night, Cha Hakyeon meets someone who will change his life. 

Foreword

It was a dull night for Cha Hakyeon; he got out of a meeting at exactly 09:18PM, then went out for a drink with friends to celebrate the promotion Jung Taekwoon got at his job, flirted with the young woman who brought them the numerous bottles of soju, and filled his stomach with spicy kimchi and delicious grilled beef, then he went home. To him, that was a dull night. 

The doorbell to his flat rang once, then twice. When it rang the third time, Hakyeon decided that it would be a good idea to open it. Kim Wonsik stood in front of the door, hands in his pockets and a distressed look on his face. 

"It's two in the morning," Hakyeon sighed. "Whatever you want, it better be important."

"I need your help," Wonsik breathed. "Hyung, this is very important."

Hakyeon moved to the side to allow him to come in. He was surprised when he saw Wonsik holding on to the wrist of a girl, and pulling her as he walked in. Why the hell does he have a girl with him at this hour? Hakyeon asked himself. I've never seen her before. Pretty sure she's not his girlfriend.

"Hyung, I need a favour from you." Wonsik took a seat on the sofa, leaning his upper body to the front and running his hands through his face. "My parents are visiting from New York for a few months, and I can't keep Hanbi with me."

"Hanbi?" Hakyeon asked, glancing at the girl or a few seconds. "Is she Hanbi?"

Wonsik nodded, "I should introduce the two of you first, sorry. Hanbi, this is Cha Hakyeon, he'll be taking care of you for a few months."
