After spending a few days undergoing tests at the hospital, the moment the word came that I was well enough to be discharged, On-yu went through the discharge procedures with lightning speed.
The doctor was a little worried about my memory, which showed no signs of returning, but even this was met with On-yu’s bright smile, saying,
“I’ll be by In-ho’s side and tell him everything, one by one.”
I hadn’t realized it while being confined to the hospital, but the season here was early autumn, with a chilly air just starting to circulate.
‘It’s better than being hot.’
I thought this inwardly.
On-yu linked her arm with mine, saying that my body had weakened from the hospital stay and I must be cold.
No, it wasn’t just linked arms; it was almost like leaning on me, pushing me to the side every time we walked.
Hey, weren’t you supposed to be worried about me?
While in the hospital and on our way home, through the fragmented stories I heard from her, my personal information was as follows:
› Kang In-ho.
› 18 years old.
› Attending Hazal High School.
› Birthday: May 4th.
Lost his parents in an accident in the first year of middle school and became an orphan.
Living off the inheritance left by his parents, and seemingly had been living without any major problems, perhaps because he matured early.
His best friend is Shin On-yu, and they have always been together wherever they went.
I thought this part was a little unexpected.
If this were the meddling of the pigeon god who dropped me here, this girl would be obsessively attached to me,
and she might be giving me false information because I lost my memory.
Surprisingly, she didn’t seem to be lying.
Honestly, if she had said that we were lovers, I would have immediately gone on high alert.
I decided to observe her a bit more.
But that doesn’t mean I completely let go of my suspicion.
After getting out of the taxi, we decided to walk for a bit.
As we walked through the detached house complex, I tried to etch the scenery into my mind.
After all, this was a world I had to settle down in, so it was best to get used to it quickly.
“Hehehe.”
Even though spring hadn’t even arrived yet, On-yu was giggling like a crazy person.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Well~ it’s been a while since we’ve walked home like this. I thought I’d never be able to walk this road with you again.”
On-yu whispered, twisting her hair with her fingers.
“I thought it was natural for you to be by my side. But I realized it wasn’t.”
“Oh… okay… well.”
I didn’t know how to react to this kind of conversation, so I looked away.
On-yu also had nothing more to say, just tightened her arm with mine without another word.
The strange pressure felt both good and heavy.
“We’re here.”
A house came into view at the end of her finger.
It was an ordinary house that could be seen anywhere.
Having only lived in apartments, I had a romantic notion about detached houses, and I was getting to live in one now.
The front door had a digital lock.
I pressed 0504, which was my birthday, but the door didn’t open.
I blinked and looked at On-yu, and she giggled, then meticulously pressed the numbers one by one.
“That’s not the password. You’re silly.”
Her long, white finger went to 1.
“Next is 2.”
She pressed 2.
“And then back to 1.”
After pressing 1 again, she looked at me.
“There’s still one number left?”
“Yeah. What do you think the next number is?”
“I have no idea.”
As she pressed 4, the door lock opened with an electronic sound.
“1214? What kind of number is that?”
I asked On-yu as I opened the front door.
“Just so you know, my birthday is December 14th.”
“Why is my house password your birthday?”
At my question, On-yu smiled bashfully and moved her face closer.
“Who knows?”
She whispered into my ear in a very small voice.
That voice was sweet but also gave me goosebumps.
