Chapter 96 - We are really neighbors (2/2)
She doesn't reply for a long moment. He doesn't know what else to say. The atmosphere in the car is turning awkward.
”Is your girlfriend really Ki Mi Ran?” Her tone is casual as if she's asking about the weather.
”Ah... yes.” It's not entirely a secret that he and Ki Mi Ran are dating.
”Are you getting married to her soon?”
”We are engaged.” He peeks at her. ”The date hasn't been decided.”
The date isn't decided. Ki Mi Ran keeps delaying. In a few months, she will start showing. He doesn't mind if she wants to have a baby before the wedding. If that's her decision, he will accept it gladly. But, it's better to get married before having their baby.
”Miss Kwon, where is your home?”
She tells him the directions before closing her eyes. He frowns when he realizes that the location is in his neighborhood. When they reach, he asks her where to go again.
”Moon Sky Apartments.”
He is shocked. ”That's where I am staying. Which floor?”
”29th.” She doesn't open her eyes.
He is also staying on the 29th floor. Why didn't he see her before? Is this a coincidence? He doesn't misunderstand again. He stops the car in front of the apartment building. They get off the car and walks to the elevator wordlessly. He is still doubtful whether she really lives on the same floor or not.
They get on the elevator. She presses the buŧŧon before he does. They are alone. He doesn't know why he feels like he is going to have a nervous breakdown. The girl steps out of the elevator when it reaches the 29th floor. They are really neighbor. She lives next door.
”This...” Kang Si An releases a breath. He won't think much of it. It's just a coincidence. ”We are really neighbors.”
She smiles at him. ”So, we are. Take care of me from now on, Neighbor.”
He wonders why her smile tickles his heart strangely.
”Si An.” Ki Mi Ran comes out of his house. ”I was tired of waiting. I was about to leave. Why didn't pick up your phone?”
He brings out his phone and realizes that the ringtone is silent. That's why he missed her 35 miss calls. ”Sorry, Mi Ran. I had a shoot today. So, I put my phone on silent. When did you come?”
”I came around 5.” Ki Mi Ran glances at the girl beside him. Why is he bringing a girl with him? Is he cheating on her?
”Miss Kwon is a co-artist in the drama I am shooting.” Kang Si An understands the questioning look in Ki Mi Ran's eyes. ”She's also my neighbor. She lives next door.”
He hopes that she doesn't misunderstand something.
Ki Mi Ran shows an angel-like smile. ”I have never seen you before. You must be new.”
Or unpopular enough to be forgotten.
”I am new.” Kyuri returns the same smile. ”I guess we will see each other around a lot.”
She punches the code and walks into her apartment, leaving Kang Si An and Ki Mi Ran in the corridor.
