Is that guy next door to me?

3. Surprise from next door

김여주

Oh my, what is going on?

The female protagonist saw Zeno with an extremely embarrassed expression on his face.

이제노

ah...

이제노

The machine is broken and I am trying to fix it.

이제노

It's not working well.

이제노

I'm sorry. I know you took the time to come here for some milk tea...

이제노

I can't do it today.

김여주

Ah... I can't help it.

김여주

I'm fine, but I'm worried about running the cafe.

김여주

The machine needs to be fixed soon...

이제노

(Sigh) That's right.

이제노

If you come back tomorrow, I'll give you some really delicious milk tea.

김여주

...Yes, I understand!

The heroine returned home with such regret.

The female protagonist was watching a drama while eating popcorn at home.

Suddenly a bell rang.

Ding dong.

The heroine didn't answer.

Then I heard a familiar voice.

나재민

It's next door! I came because I have something to give you.

The woman opened the door as soon as she heard the voice.

김여주

hello!

김여주

What happened...

나재민

I made this...

Jaemin gave milk tea to Yeoju.

김여주

yes?

김여주

...You made it yourself? Wow.

나재민

(Laughs) Yes.

나재민

I don't know if it will taste good...

김여주

So you were on your way to buy the ingredients to make milk tea earlier?

나재민

yes.

나재민

You gave me milk tea before, right?

나재민

I enjoyed drinking it so much that I wanted to give it to you too.

김여주

That's something I got to go from a cafe...

나재민

I know. I wanted to give you something special.

The woman asked if she could drink it here.

Jaemin asked for an evaluation.

김여주

Wow... how did you do that?

김여주

Is this the most delicious milk tea you've ever had?

The heroine said with a very surprised expression.

Because it was truly the most delicious milk tea.

나재민

is it so?

김여주

Yes... this is so delicious that I want to drink it again.

나재민

Then I will make it often and give it to you.

김여주

omg...

김여주

Can I just accept this...?

나재민

sure.

나재민

Thanks to you, I can laugh for the first time in a long time.

김여주

...

나재민

(Looking around) Well then, I guess I'll be going now.

나재민

If you want to drink milk tea, call me anytime.

After that, I was able to get closer to my neighbor.

Then one day I got to see the real face of the house next door...

That day, I was on my way home and something was bothering me so I asked my neighbor for help.

김여주

(Gasps) Jaemin, I'm so sorry...

김여주

...?

나재민

(with a worried look) Why? What's wrong?

나재민

(Surprised) Ah,

나재민

Glasses...

Taking advantage of the gap, Yeoju hurriedly entered Jaemin's house.

김여주

I'm really sorry... I feel like someone is following me.

나재민

It's okay. Who is it?

김여주

I don't know either... I can't see the face.

At that moment, a voice calling the heroine was heard from outside.

A male voice tells me to come out because it knows that I live here.

But the female protagonist heard a familiar voice,

I thought I knew who it was.

나재민

...If we leave it like this, it seems like it will cause damage to other houses as well.

나재민

Should I come and solve it?

김여주

Yes? That seems too dangerous...

나재민

are you okay.

나재민

I'll be back soon.

Jaemin went out, talked to the person, and came back.

나재민

wow...

김여주

are you okay?!

김여주

It's not like that person did anything or anything, right?

나재민

He looks... handsome.

나재민

But, is it because he is a strange person that the mistress is so afraid of him?

김여주

...

김여주

He was someone I liked.

나재민

...

나재민

(raising his glasses) Really?

김여주

But I have a question...

김여주

Jaemin, why do you wear glasses?

김여주

I was really surprised when I saw you earlier.

나재민

...

나재민

Are you surprised?

나재민

why...?

김여주

You look much better without glasses than with them.

나재민

...is it so?

나재민

But I...

나재민

I think something big has happened.

김여주

Yes? What...

나재민

(in a trembling voice) He found out.

나재민

I wore glasses so I wouldn't get caught.

나재민

...I think I'll have to move house.

Yeoju couldn't understand what Jaemin was saying.

김여주

What are you talking about?

나재민

Lady, you don't usually watch the news, do you?

나재민

Still, I was so happy to meet someone who didn't recognize me after a long time.

김여주

Yes? Just a moment.

김여주

So what you're saying now is that you're moving...?
