[+ text]; I can't make promises but I do appreciate the sarcasm.

[ text ⇀ unknown ] 

⇥And I too, appreciate you not making any promises that might certainly be broken. 

He looked over the message, hesitating to send it for a few minutes before sighing and clicking send, but cast the phone away from him reaching for the papers he’d forgotten on the side, it would definitely be wiser to focus on this now. 

[arockheir]

[+ text]; I can't really say much about him. Not my place. But like I always say, without curiosity, the world would be dull. We'll be spending quite a bit of time together since I am apparently doing your apartment. You'll hear a lot of questions.

He was a bit torn between being amused or annoyed by this prolonged conversation, though the first one was taking over, but not in such a good way. 

[ text ⇀ unknown ] 

⇥Well, don’t you sound lovely to have around. 

Sarcasm, he thought, would she catch it, she sounded like a smart person, she might catch it, it occurred to him that he might want to add her name to the phone number now, but it also occurred to him that he didn’t quite want to do that, because the name just ticked him off.

[arockheir]

[+ text]; I take it that it isn't a lucky guess? Why would he put your name down then? Am I supposed to be working with you for his apartment?

[ text ⇀ unknown ] 

⇥To have his own fun why else. 

He briefly considered just dropping at that, but she asked a lot of questions and god, he straightened against the head of his bed, a moue on his face, he was working on a few papers and had to get it done but his father was the cause of all of this so he could handle his son being late on his due work because of his own mischiefs. 

[ text ⇀ unknown ]

⇥It’s my apartment, he just signed the paper for me because I couldn’t make it. ⇥You ask a lot of questions. 

[arockheir]

[+ text]; Shin Wonho? Although I cannot disclose the entire name, Wonho is definitely not the name listed. Do I have the right number?

He had a feeling he could tell what name was written down there, the old man signs with his own identity then just leaves the contact information of his son, this was so--low, but why was she even insisting?

[ text ⇀ unknown ] 

⇥Is that top secret name Shin In Wook? If yes, you do have the wrong number, but he's the one at fault. 

[arockheir]

[+ text]; Hello Mr. Shin! This is Sumin of Studio SJ:B! I just wanted to introduce myself. I'll be the architect working with you for the next couple weeks on your new apartment.

Won Ho considered the message for a few seconds, it made sense, in a way, but it kind of didn’t, in another way, he didn’t remember telling his father to give his personal information, that was the way in which it didn’t make sense right now, with a sigh his fingers began typing a reply.

[ text ⇀ unknown ] 

⇥Alright, you can call me Won Ho if that’s the case.

Relief washed over her the moment she left the storage room and the moment she put her glasses back on. Sumin never wished bad things, especially medical things, on other people, but just then, she thanked whatever science or god gave him an allergy to flowers. 

[arockheir]

Won Ho did think about not giving them back, for the fun of it maybe play a game, despite being soaked, feeling quite uncomfortable, he'd found a bit of warmth in the storage and it was enough to give him half of his natural personality. 

So he'd worn a smile and waited, till she looked up, then it'd taken a second for his mouth to open and stay still, eyes glued to hers in merely a second before the glasses were snatched from his grasp and she was hurrying outside and he could stand up by then, stop her, grab her hand make her stop because, that happened a minute too fast and a second too slow.

He stood still in the storage for how long, he wasn't sure but then again for how long had he stood inside the empty apartment a year, maybe, or maybe two, how long? That too, he didn't remember and suddenly it felt like the storage was taking him back to then and he couldn't have hallucinated, this was Seoul, she could possibly be here of course.

The more he thought about it, the longer it took for him to suck a breath in and he hadn't even realized he'd been starting to fall into an hyperventilating state until he heard himself breathe out, a puff of air rather gentle compared to how he felt right now.

How to piece it, he asked himself, standing up straight and turning to where the door of the storage had been closed behind her as she left, and that her that he just didn't want to name, yeah, he had to repeat it, today wasn't his lucky day at all, it made him slip out a half scoff that sounded as if he'd just been tricked and found out about it, a fool, that was what he felt like. 

Then there was the urge to make sure of it, like the same urge he'd had to go in every single room of the apartment to see them empty, so he opened the storage door but closed it just as fast, blamed it on the flowers, but leaned against the door frame and blamed it on his mind for not wanting to know, what good could it bring? 

None, none. 

She changed, a bit, he couldn't tell from how quick she'd left his sight, god he should have seen her when he entered, so he could have made a quick run for it and now he understood the nervous gesture, if directed towards the fact that she recognized him then at least, at the very least he liked knowing that she felt nervous--maybe even a bit bad, she ought to. 

His fists started gently hitting the door then he let out a frustrated sigh and pulled his phone out of his pocket, sending a quick text to his driver to hurry the fuck up because if he fell sick due to this he was going to take it out of his salary, may god damn him for throwing it all on an innocent person, he could careless.

"Shit," The rare, expletive word slipped as she crouched down, eyes scanning the cement floors. It was a relief to her that she escaped his gaze but now she had to find her glasses quickly so she could leave quickly. "You should.. probably come in before more pollen flies in here, but be careful, my glasses are.. somewhere.. in this room."

[arockheir]

He was starting to feel a little out of it, irritated even so when she started moving to at least do something he let himself be guided, her hand in his making him also get a grip on hers, keeping his eyes down at the back of her head, the tight tail of her hair swinging probably without her knowledge in her movements. 

She looked nervous, he wasn't sure why at first, then it kind of struck him that maybe she knew him, but most people in Seoul knew him, especially the female population, but he really had no time to make sure of that or even pull out a game here, he totally would, just for the fun of it, and knowing she was nervous would help.

Despite his uneasiness and the discomfort as he waited and that he hadn't caught her face clearly, still, he never actually lost a target when he set his eyes on it, it made him want to go for it, but first of all she had to open the storage, that she was struggling with and he thought about lending her a hand but when he tried to speak about it she pushed it open rather strong bump that had him blinking amusingly when the door finally gave in. 

The whole situation was quite comical, and god help him, he tried to hold it in but once he was inside of the storage room, following after her, he couldn't help but escape a chuckle, that he quickly pursed his mouth to shut it away, she cursed then though, so it might have went unnoticed.

But instead of looking for her glasses as instructed, he dropped the suit from his face and his eyes searched for where to flick the lights on, hands patting the walls till he found it with a satisfied smile and turned it on. 

"Might be easier this way." He said then looked down, found her crouched and joined her, kneeling and it was easy for him to find the glasses right next to his knee so he took them and held them up, "I got your glasses." He announced then "Are they medical, do you go blind without them?" He asked, fingers toying with it.

It was no surprise that she was completely shaken, tattered even, but she couldn’t allow that to surface. Before her voice reduced to a calm, friendly tone, she breathed out. ”Welcome to Yeonkkot. I take it that you need refuge from the rain?” Lying was always effortless, but for the first time, it was daunting and strenuous. Her hope for this plan was dwindling rapidly. 

Kyungjoon was the worst of her vices, and yet, she was walking straight back to him.

[arockheir]

The sneeze that had been waiting came out then and Won Ho quickly brought a hand to his mouth, covering his nose, letting the pans of his suit fall open, before returning his hands to them and pulling it off to cover half of his face. 

Then he noticed the other presence and heard the voice, and all he could see through the drops clinging to his eyes was a face that was quite blurry so he shook his head, unaware of getting droplets of water in every direction then frowned where he'd seen the other figure.

It did strike him as familiar, he wasn't usually one to forget faces easily, especially ones he'd seen a lot and he could ponder on this a bit more, except that, he opened his mouth ready to ask about that or even answer her question but found himself sneezing once more, the shield of his suit proving insufficient. 

"Do you, hm," He looked around the shop, then back at her, again the frown again this familiarity, through her glasses and her strict ponytail that he dismissed as his senses worked up again and halted him in his speech for another sneeze before he sighed, "Have a room where--" He gestured around, "There aren't a lot of flowers, or no flowers at all?" 

But his words were somehow muffled by the suit against his mouth and really, now his eyes were starting to itch, and he really had to get out of this place, soon, of all places, this was dumb, he thought looking around at the flowers, there were a time when he enjoyed burning those just because of what they did to his body.

Unlucky would most describe how he felt right now, taking quick strides to find a shelter away from this pouring rain, seriously, it had to start raining while he was thinking he might ditch his driver for awhile and all responsibilities for at least today.

He should've hidden a bit more, probably, but he wasn't really playing hide and seek with his parents, in other countries it worked just fine, but in Seoul it was pretty hard, since his face was known by all and of course the rumour ran rather fast. 

Hair sticking to his forehead, instead of how he'd brushed them up for the day and a mumbling in his voice he finally found something, it wasn't much, and once he entered he immediately felt like running out because a flower shop, of all things, not that he hated flowers, or maybe he did hate them because he was allergic to most of them, if not all. 

Still, the next shelter might be further so instead of whining, he just slipped inside, hearing the sound of the door close behind him with a ringbell and finally away from the rain.

That was all that mattered. he thought fingers already reaching for the buttons of the suit he'd been forced--mildly threatened in, fingers working them undone as his eyes scanned for a presence in the shelter he'd found, he could already feel his nose tickling with a sneeze ready to come out.
