"Alarm: 8 AM. Tap to Snooze"

I haven't even sleep yet... Thank God I don't have any classes.

Maybe I couldn't sleep because I can't stop thinking about what happened yesterday. Why would she think that I stole her cat?! It was Chawee who keeps coming here because no one's taking care of him when she's gone.

Ah fuck it. I'll just talk to her.

But what if she's mad?

It's not your fault that her cat keeps visiting!

But what if she doesn't believe you?

Not my problem anymore!

Right. Just talk to her.

And now I'm knocking on her door and it opened. I can't see her face because I'm looking down.

"Hi. Look, I'm sorry about your cat. I was about to talk to you bu—"

"Huh? I don't have a cat..." I looked up and see this cute girl smiling at me.

"Are you not Chawee's mom?"

"OHHHH! no, it's my housemate. I'll get her for you, come in!"

Even though she told me to come in, I didn't because I got shy and nervous. Damn, I have to get through this again but this time, with the real owner.

I can hear them bickering until someone opened the door again.

Oh Good Lord. Where am I? Am I in heaven? Why is there an angel standing in front of me?

GOD DAMN.

CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING???

"Hello?" She said while rubbing her eyes.

GOODNESS HER MORNING VOICE

"I-I— oh my god"

"Why are you looking for me? Come in." She stepped aside and opened the door wider. I stood there for a minute trying to calm myself before going in.

"I'm sorry about my face, I just woke up. What's up?" She said and brushed her hair using her fingers.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE SORRY????

ARE YOU EVEN LOOKING AT ME?? I LOOK LIKE A POTATO EVERY MORNING!

"Uh I.... I want to say sorry, I made you worry about Chawee. I know I should've told you earlier but—"

"Oh, you're my neighbor? Why are you saying sorry?"

"Because I thought you're mad."

"What makes you think that I'm mad?"

"You said I'm a catnapper..."

She blinked twice.

Then she started laughing.

Even her laugh is beautiful...

"I was just kidding! I should be thankful for you because you're taking care of my kid when I'm not around, though you didn't really have to do that... My housemate doesn't even care about him"

"HEY! You know I can hear you from my room right?!"

"Stop eavesdropping!!!" I chuckled.

"But still, I probably made you look for him everywhere..."

"You're right. But it's fine, really. At least I know now, I was just wondering where he went. He must really like you for him to keep going to your place."

"Yeah..."

Silence... but it's a comfortable one.

"Oh by the way, I'm Minju. Kim Minju."

Why is everything about her beautiful...

AND KIM?

She's already married to me.

"I'm Kim Chaewon."

"I'M JO YURI!!!" Yuri peek at her door and wave. I waved back and Minju told her to go away.

"Chaewon and Chawee. Cute."

Oh right.. I didn't notice that.

Wait, she called me cute?

"I mean your name. But yeah, you're cute too." She said and smiled.

I need to calm down.

"Uh.. I need to go back"

"Oh, okay."

She walked me to the door and we said our goodbyes. I can still see her standing outside her door until I got in.

I dialed Eunbi's number.

"Unnie! Oh my God, I do have a gorgeous neighbor."

"What did I tell you about making friends? You almost missed the chance if it wasn't for her cat."

"I know. I need to give Chawee a lot of treat."
