nina check the list, done! she said walking towards the grocery counter to pay. it's altogether 20 dollar miss the lady at the counter handed her a receipt. vegetables! she halted, Nah I'll come back tomorrow and I think there are some vegetables inside the fridge.

the street was less crowded and the streets lights shine brighter as the sun sinks on the horizon taking away all her natural light. And the moon that was hiding behind the clouds left its hiding place to embarrass the evening sky. good evening to me! Nina chuckled making her way towards home.

'all I wanna be, yeah, yeah, Is somebody to you '( the vamps) she sang along the lines chilling alone with the song. wait! is that a comic shop?no way! she rushes to the store enthusiastically giving a damn that she had to cook dinner.

she found her rock and roll!

_________

it was already late when she returned home. imbecile! it's 9:30 pm for Pete's sake she huffed angrily. Eunwoo must have eaten dinner! it's not that I care for him but remember, he got hurt yesterday and giving little help is not a problem she explained to her inner self. talking about help she always cooks his share anyway though he never ate it.

knock!

taking a long breath she knocks on Eunwoo's door. umm, hi Eunwoo it's me, Nina. have you taken your dinner? she asks and if you don't, would you mind having dinner together? just wait for some minutes, I'll be quick she said waiting eagerly for his answer.

no reply,

maybe he's asleep she thought leaving the place. despite the zero replies, she continues to cook dinner. pasta! hmm, taste good she moans feeling proud of the result. for the second time, she informed Eunwoo but gave her no reply ' I left your food on the table' she said giving up her attempt and ate her dinner.

alone!

I will visit the shop again! Nina couldn't wait for dawn as her mind was already chanted by the comic shop that she visited earlier.

walk slow Nina! what about Udon? Jihyo protests trailing behind Nina. Nina didn't stop her footstep and paid no attention to Jihyo words as she is very anxious to go to the shop. they even ditch the class for the sole purposes but Jihyo was surprised by the sudden changes in their plan.

Jihyo, I am so sorry! we can't have Udon right now, but I swear I will do anything right after this Nina responded.

Jihyo face brighten up, deal! Jihyo let out with a big smile spread on her face as she was very happy with the statement made by Nina. we're here! Nina squeals with excitement. she pushes open the door pulling Jihyo inside.

oh it's you, welcome back beautiful! a very chubby panda looking man greeted them with a mouthful of ramen. good to see you again! Nina greeted back. if you excuse me let me? Nina quickly moves towards the bookshelves that were full of comic books.

obvious!

while Nina was busy elsewhere, Jihyo takes her time looking around the room. the place needs clean up and somehow needs a change of furniture she mumbled pressing her hand around the waist as if she was here for room inspection.

I was thinking the same! the man answered approvingly nodding his head. I am so sorry I don't mean in a bad way she apologises. why am I talking loud? she swears he won't mind right?

it's fine, you're speaking the truth and this shop lost some customers due to grandma like interior he spoke sighing. then why don't you change it? she asks. he sighs again, only if I could, someone's threatening me to leave as it is but don't tell anyone it's a secret between us he told her almost like gossiping about the culprit.

she nods with agreement 'they are sick'! yes, he's a jerk! he replied with irritation lacing in his voice. who.. before she could complete her sentence Nina interrupted. hey! what's so wrong with a grandma like interior Nina snapped at the two with a pile of comics in her hand. bad girl! don't you know eavesdrop is a bad habit the guy retorted folding his arm?

huh! Nina roll her eyes, blame your voice! it's loud enough for the whole city to hear. Omo! I was just kidding the man said placing his hand on his mouth acting surprised. Ajusshi, you're annoying and the person which you called a jerk has a point though he may threaten you, just look around don't you feel something?

it seems like many memories buried here she said looking at him. taken aback by her word he smiles not awkwardly but with a genuine smile 'he will be glad to hear this ' Ajusshi replied feeling overwhelmed. Nina furrowed her eyebrows not understanding the meaning of his word. it's your fault! you should maintain your shop need and clean that's the reason why you lost customers Jihyo sided with Nina as she was worried that Nina would disappoint her further.

seriously, Nina huff slamming the comics on the table causing them to jump out of startled. get over it! how much? she asks the total amount of the comics which she is going to purchase. calm down mam, I serve the best noodles, why don't you try them out? come sit here Ajusshi motion them to sit on the couch and the price is just 20$ with the discount he said flashing a smile proudly.

Samchon

Samchon(uncle)? are you there inside? can you ready a bucket of water? I bought a new spin moper. three heads turn towards the person. Cha Eunwoo? Nina blurted out not believing the sight in front of her. Eunwoo was in a black hoodie and a grey jogger not that he never wore this type of clothing but whenever he goes out Nina always saw him with the best outfits, not regular basics. overall he was with spin moper!

anyways, why is he here?
