Chapter 25.

*Bang* - the sound of the door of the house next door rang, making SuA a little worried.

Wendy and Siyeon must know each other, she used to be with Siyeon, which means Siyeon knows about her first love.

- Now that I remember, your studio is right next to the old house you used to live in - Wendy said.

- …………………….

- Is Siyeon still there, she looks young, more than ten years have passed and she hasn't aged at all.

SuA is quiet, she has been told all about Lee Siyeon by Professor Lee. Siyeon will never age, of course , because Siyeon is a witch.

- Wendy, what do you know about Lee Siyeon?

- Well, that's the person who took care of you since childhood, you consider it as a second mother, right?

- Siyeon is actually a year younger than us.

- What?

- She is no ordinary person, a witch with a lot of magic, will never age.

- Huh? – Wendy has a blank face, what the hell is SuA talking about?

- Well, let me take you home.

- But you haven't answered my question.

- Wendy, I need time, now I'll take you home.

After taking Wendy home, SuA parked her car at a corner of the sidewalk, she tried to call Siyeon again, if Siyeon agrees, she will return to the studio immediately for the two to talk.

But Siyeon didn't answer the phone.....

"Sing, I just brought Wendy home, can we meet and talk now?" - SuA texted.

Then she got Siyeon's response very quickly.

"I am busy"

A really harsh response, it's late at night and still busy, but half an hour ago it was Siyeon who rushed to meet her to talk. SuA's heart sank heavily, she had to drive home.

---

Siyeon put her phone on the bed, her face buried in the pillow trying to crush her own negative emotions.

She lived in Hawaii with a feeling of calm and tranquility, she only ached a little because of nostalgia SuA.

But after she left Hawaii and returned to Korea, her emotions were no longer stable, but now it was screaming like a hurricane.

SuA and Wendy's relationship definitely went to a serious date, did they just do that thing in the studio...?

Thinking of that, she was very angry and resentful.

In the past, when she knew that SuA was over the limit with Wendy, she only felt a slight disappointment, but now inside she is like a screaming demon.

Siyeon banged her hand on the bed, she wanted to smash something...

She was so angry that she didn't want to look at Kim SuA's face again.

When she saw the note SuA sent her, she was happy that SuA was looking for her.

But in the end, what SuA wants to talk about is just a normal talk, right, seeing a neighbor who hasn't been home for a long time, so she wants to talk and give some regards, right.....?

She was too hopeful.

She had put too much hope into the flight from Hawaii to Seoul, and now she was filled with overwhelming disappointment.

Kim SuA has a lover...

It's her ex-lover, her first love.

- Damned….

---

As the days passed, SuA struggled with feelings of anxiety and restlessness, she couldn't work properly.  She texted Siyeon to make an appointment to meet more, but all she got in return were three words "I am busy"

She called Siyeon, Siyeon never picked up.

What kind of work does Siyeon do to be so busy? she just got back from a long trip so she has to focus on solving the outstanding work? It's ridiculous, SuA doesn't even know what Siyeon does.

SuA also tries to look forward to each day one by one, looking forward to one day Lee Siyeon has a little free time.

"How about today, can we meet and talk?"

"I am busy"

SuA was sprawled on the bed, rolling from side to side, lying down, then lying on her back again, her head towards the foot of the bed, then to the left side of the bed, trying to find a reasonable position for easy sleep.

She couldn't sleep.

She rummaged through her house looking for something like the Siyeon's house key, thinking that she herself owns one. If she found it, she would sneak into Siyeon’s house immediately, to talk to Siyeon.

But in the end she found nothing.

She couldn't stay in this state forever, she needed to do something.

SuA woke up in the middle of the night, it's now 11:30 pm. She got in her red car and sped away, to the luxury apartment complex.

She came to see Lee Siyeon.

While walking on the road, it started to rain heavily.

*rain sound*

SuA narrowed her eyes, slowed down because the rain prevented her. She breathed heavily to try to contain her haste, her heart was beating so fast that it wanted to explode.

She left without calling Siyeon or texting Siyeon to tell Siyeon that she was coming to see.

She knew that even if she called, Siyeon wouldn't answer, and if she texted, Siyeon would politely decline. So she had no choice but to rush straight to Siyeon’s house and maybe have a chance to meet Siyeon.

And God had tested her too much, suddenly pouring her a heavy rain that made her slow down, and then the car suddenly had problems. SuA was driving when she saw the car slowing down.

- Oh god, C'mon, out of gas - SuA stared at her red gas line, she was sure that she wasn't such a careless person. Every time there was 30% gas left, she would go and fill up, never leave the car in such a depleted state.

But why today……

- Geez, why didn't I refuel? - SuA collapsed on the steering wheel and mumbled, she was so absent-minded, today she intended to go to the gas station after coming home from work, but she forgot.

SuA's red sports car was motionless and helpless in the middle of the road, the rain was still raging the scene.

Lightning thundered.

*thundering*

SuA glanced at the clock, it was now a new day, 00:05. she had been out of the house for more than half an hour, it was getting colder and colder because the night had completely fallen. Only 500 meters to the destination, SuA thinks, if she calls a taxi, there is no way, the only way to get there is to run.

She had a crazy thought, she knew it was really crazy, but she did it anyway. SuA opened the car door, took her bag and started running to the building...

The place where she worked, and also where she used to stay during her time as a child.

This is where she grew up.

Her life is attached there, attached to one person.

She really didn't remember anything, but she had a very strange feeling, she needed to figure this out.

After all, what is the relationship between her and Lee Siyeon?

---

Siyeon was woken up by the doorbell ringing continuously, she frowned, who still came to bother her at midnight….?

Only Gahyeon and Lee's family know where she lives, but how could they come looking for her in the middle of the night….?

There's actually someone who knows her whereabouts...

But she's here now? no way, she's completely forgotten about Siyeon

*Clack* - Siyeon opened the door, and was shocked.

Kim SuA was standing in front of her, in a wet state like a rat.

- Oh my gosh, what's wrong, SuA? – Siyeon worried and feverish, walked over and grabbed SuA's arm, looked at her from head to toe, Siyeon’s face was very tense, unable to relax.

Why is this, someone attacked SuA, was she harmed by someone?

Is Oh Seunghee's henchman still looking for SuA and causing her harm?

Siyeon didn't wait for SuA's reply, she dragged SuA inside the house, went to the bathroom, stripped all of SuA’s clothes, then turned on the hot water to fill the tub, dropped the soap and shower gel into the water, and gave SuA sit down in the bathtub.

All actions only flashed in ten seconds, making SuA surprised, not knowing what to say. She knew that the two of them had been together so maybe Siyeon felt comfortable with these actions. But for her, it was very shy, because in her memory, Siyeon was a stranger.

Suddenly being stripped of all her clothes and pushed into this hot tub, Siyeon's brown eyes are still staring at her body, making her afraid to die. SuA subconsciously crossed her arms to create an X in front of her chest.

Siyeon didn't care about SuA's shyness, she put SuA in the bath, got up and left, went to SuA's bedroom and got SuA a comfortable outfit to change into. When she packed SuA's things to move back to SuA’s  parents' house, she still kept a few things here, for no reason at all, just… she wanted to.

Siyeon went back to the bathroom, hung up SuA's pajamas, and then met the other's frightened eyes.

She stopped, dead, she and SuA are now strangers, don't know each other, suddenly she acted like that was too bad.

At this moment, Siyeon realized that she was too emotional, her reason was gone

- Ah....um...you took a shower.... then change your clothes, I…. leave your things here – Siyeon stammered until she could finish a sentence and then ran out.

SuA blinked, panting heavily to calm herself, the hot water warmed her up, comfort began to spread, she quickly showered and dressed. SuA looked at the outfit she was wearing and then pondered, this suit she wears very well, it seems to be hers, not Siyeon's.

She was here before, which means her clothes are still here.

SuA hesitated to step out of the bathroom, she looked around, and saw Siyeon standing on the other side, not far from her.

- Are you done? come here….dry your hair – Siyeon stammered again, she also wanted to speak fluently but this situation was too weird, she just accidentally made it so she had to finish it, SuA's hair was all wet then, it must be dried or SuA will be sick tomorrow.

SuA obediently approached and followed, trying to take the dryer to dry herself, but Siyeon competed. Siyeon holds the hair dryer and blows SuA's hair.

SuA felt overwhelmed by everything that was happening, she just wanted to ring the bell for Siyeon to open the door, then the two would stand at the door to finish talking about what she was wondering, then she would go home to sleep in peaceful.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this, she entered Siyeon's house, was stripped of all her clothes to take a bath, and now Siyeon dries her hair.

It seems that this is exactly what Siyeon used to do for her when she was little.

When she was dragged into the bathroom by Siyeon, passing by the living room, she caught a glimpse of a large picture frame hanging on the wall, of her and Siyeon, looking quite intimate.

At that time she was wearing her graduation uniform, Siyeon was wearing a blue dress, Siyeon put the  arm around her shoulders and kissed her cheek, and she showed a surprised expression. Next to that big picture frame there were small pictures hanging on strings arranged in a wavy shape, apparently all of her pictures.

There was no doubt that this was her childhood home.

Siyeon finished drying SuA's hair, then put the dryer neatly away, then sat down next to SuA. SuA was still very confused and didn't know how to start.

Siyeon pursed her lips in thought and opened her mouth, the two of them can't just let time die like this forever, it's too late at night.

Why did Kim SuA show up at her house in the middle of the night, in such a bad state?

- Hmmm…SuA, what's wrong? Did someone attack you?

- Oh no, I…… drove here to see you, but when I was going, the car ran out of gas, so I had to jog here, but it was raining heavily.

Siyeon narrowed the eyes, Kim SuA is so stupid, why is she working so hard on herself?

In the past too, self-harm, make Siyeon worried to death.

She turned to look at the window, it was indeed raining outside, her house was closed so she didn't know it was so heavy.

- Why are you so silly? You should call me, I'll come pick you up.

- I called you many times but you didn't answer the phone, do you think I still want to call you?

- ………… - Siyeon suddenly remembered, it was true that she deliberately ignored SuA's calls, because she was angry about SuA dating Wendy.

- Why did you not answer my call, you are so busy, what do you do?

Siyeon sighed not wanting to answer, she changed the subject, her voice colder.

- Then what did you put in the effort to come here? it's midnight, it's raining so hard, but you still try to come, what do you want in the end?

- We used to live together, right?

- …………. – Siyeon was surprised, SuA must have seen the wall in the living room, so she guessed like that.

- You're a witch, make me lose my hearing, then break the curse to make me hear again, right?

Siyeon's eyes widened, what the hell…how does Kim SuA know these things?

- Is it right?

- You… how do you know?

- Professor Lee was a friend of mine when I was in college, she told me about the past, a part of the past that I couldn't remember.

- ……………………

- I don't understand why I can't remember you, can't remember this house.

- …………………….

- What is the relationship between us? why are you raising and taking care of me like that? and why am I  staying at parents Kim's  house instead of with you, what happened?

Siyeon sighed, it's late at night and she's really lazy to explain everything. Even if she said everything, it wouldn't solve anything….

Kim SuA already has a lover, she has no chance anymore, the image that caught her eye when she saw SuA and Wendy in the studio that day, touched her heart very much, making her hurt mentally heavy….

She didn't want to try anymore, the original goal when she returned from Hawaii to Korea, she brushed it off, she didn't want to do it anymore….

She doesn't want anything to do with Kim SuA anymore.

She had already taken the ring off her finger, and kept it in the corner of the closet.

- Sing?

- Kim SuA, what do you really want? If you knew everything in the past, what problem would you solve?

- …………………….

- Your life is so good, what else do you want to dig into the past, just to satisfy curiosity? You have a stable job, a house, a decent car, a lover, friends, good health, your life is nothing to criticize anymore, why do you still want to learn about the past?

- We used to be together and must have gone through many things together, but now you want to consider me as a stranger? – SuA is shy with the other person's coldness, inside she is really worried.

- You don't want us to be strangers, what do you want us to be? friends? I don't need more friends – Siyeon turned her face away.

- Anyway, what do you mean, I don't have a lover, why do you think that? – SuA noticed an anomaly in Siyeon's statement, her tone of voice was unapproachable.

- You don't have a lover and you and Wendy are in the studio having sex? That's cool, you want to have such one-night stand relationships, don't you?

- What? I and Wendy never did that.

- You have her kiss mark on your neck, don't lie to me - Siyeon said loudly, her eyes red with tears.

 SuA looked at the other in shock, she saw Siyeon about to cry, Siyeon’s eyes narrowed, looking at her as if Siyeon wanted to kill her.

SuA raised her hand to wipe the tears from Siyeon's cheeks but Siyeon brushed it away.

- You go home, between us is the past - Siyeon got up and went to the bedroom, locking the door.
