23 You are now my habi (2/2)

Seo Tae Il visits her regularly. Why is he coming every day? When did he find out her real identity? Does he hate her for it? He seems mad sometimes, asking her why she has been doing ridiculous things. He would softly sing to her, hoping that she would wake up and tell him that his singing was horrible. He would read to her. Sometimes, he would just speak to her about his life.

She always listens to him.

”You are now my habit,” He says to her sleeping body. ”I feel uneasy when I don't come to see you. I wonder when you will wake up and break my habit. It's not healthy for me.”

”If you don't wake up soon, your sister will kill me.”

”You promised me that you will let me carry you on my back. If you break your promise, you will go to hell.”

”I can't get a girlfriend because of you.” He flicks her forehead. ”Your sister will kill me if I get a girlfriend now. You better wake up and explain things to her. It's better if you beat me up and send me away for deceiving your family like this. I don't mind an excuse to not see you again. If you don't stop me, I am afraid...”

”Someone is taking her sweet time.” He pokes her nose. ”Are you lazy, Ji Won? Should I call you Jimin? I am embarrassed for punching you or letting you carry me on your back. Are you a pervert? You kept looking at me when I was walking around half naked when we shared the room. I really believed that you were a man who liked men.”

”I am sorry.” He caresses her cheek. ”I don't know why I come here to see you. I should stop coming. But I want you to wake up. After that, I will stop coming then.”

”I wrote this song for you.” He puts earphones in her ears.

”Women confess their love to me daily.” He glares at her. ”Why I am here? I should spend my youth with them. But I am here...spending my days with you.”

”I wish you could explain why I am here.” He slaps his forehead in frustration. ”It's been four years. When will you wake up and explain things to me? Park Na Young told me that you like free food. I will buy you food until you die. Just wake up already.”

Nam Ji Won hears all the words quietly.
