Is that guy next door to me?

6. The missing neighbor

김여주

wow...

나재민

(Laughs) Why? Because it's neat?

김여주

Yes, it's really neat!

김여주

I felt this way at my old house too, but I guess you like cleaning.

나재민

Yeah, I don't like messy spaces...

나재민

(rummaging through drawers) These are milk tea ingredients.

나재민

While you're here, I'll show you how to make it.

나재민

Enjoy your meal.

Jaemin made milk tea in an instant.

김여주

Wow, your hands are really fast.

나재민

Try it. Do you still get that taste?

김여주

Wow, that taste is just right!

나재민

thank god.

나재민

I'll write down the detailed recipe on paper and give it to you.

As soon as I received the paper with the recipe written on it,

The heroine wanted to find out the things she had been curious about.

김여주

if...

김여주

Can I ask you a few questions?

나재민

Any questions for me?

김여주

yes...

나재민

Okay.

김여주

I'm curious about what kind of person your ex-girlfriend was.

나재민

ah...

나재민

He was a good person, Junhee.

김여주

I see your name is Junhee?

나재민

Yes. He worked hard at his job and took great care of me.

나재민

At first, I had my suspicions that he was approaching me for my money...

나재민

No, it wasn't.

김여주

Hey, Jaemin, even if you weren't rich, you would have been popular, right?

나재민

...Would that be so?

김여주

of course.

김여주

The reason you're so popular now is all thanks to your face...

나재민

ah?

나재민

Do you really think so?

김여주

Don't you read the comments?

김여주

There were a lot of negative comments.

나재민

...I don't read it because I think there will be malicious comments.

나재민

Honestly, I want to distance myself from popularity.

나재민

If it had been ordinary, not many people would have known about it.

김여주

I guess so...?

김여주

But you want to keep running away from home like this because of people's expectations, right?

나재민

that's right.

나재민

So I feel like I've become a celebrity, but going back won't do me any good.

나재민

The reason I hurt Junhee's feelings was because of work...

나재민

I can't work anymore.

김여주

But if Jaemin isn't there...

나재민

I know. There's no one left to continue. There won't be any news.

김여주

...

나재민

So, it requires some thought.

나재민

If you were the mistress, what do you think you would have done?

김여주

...

김여주

If it were me...

김여주

I think I'll still do it though.

나재민

Is there a reason?

김여주

But I guess having a lot of money is better than having no money...?

김여주

It's a simple reason, right? Of course, Jaemin, you won't understand.

나재민

...

나재민

all right.

나재민

If I get caught in this house too,

나재민

I'll go to work then.

김여주

Oh?

김여주

Is that what Jaemin wants to do?

김여주

Not because of my answer?

나재민

...sure.

Jaemin's expression as he answered didn't look very good.

Anyway, I thought that the only thing left for Yeo-ju to do was to become closer to Jae-min...

A few days later, Jaemin disappeared.

이제노

Thanks to the lady's advice, milk tea sales are increasing.

이제노

Thank you so much.

이제노

Please tell that neighbor I'm grateful too.

김여주

ah...

이제노

...What's wrong?

이제노

Your expression is very dark...

김여주

...Nothing's wrong, it's okay.

김여주

I will definitely pass it on.

Yeoju returned home and continued to search for Jaemin.

But there were no recent articles coming out.

김여주

Ha... If you disappeared without saying anything, it seems like you were caught...

김여주

You're not even answering my calls...

김여주

How do I find it?...

* The day Jaemin disappeared.

Ding dong.

나재민

...Are you the lady?

Jaemin hurriedly opened the door.

나재민

...

???

Found it.

???

You are here, my lord.

???

(Laughs) Guess who you were waiting for?

나재민

(with a puzzled expression) Secretary...

나재민

How come here...

비서

It's time to go back now, my lord.

비서

The chairman was very angry.

나재민

...

나재민

Okay, let's go.

나재민

But then this house...

비서

I'll take care of it.

비서

Your Majesty, please remain still.

비서

Oh, and you need to give me your cell phone.

나재민

Are they confiscating cell phones now?

나재민

Why, I'm not even a kid?

비서

...It is the Chairman's order.

나재민

Then, can I just send you one message?

비서

No, it won't work.

비서

You have to give it to me right away.

The secretary took Jaemin's cell phone away.

나재민

(sigh)

나재민

Um, then just one note...

비서

No, it won't work.

Jaemin's expression suddenly darkened.

나재민

I'm sure you're very worried...

비서

Let's go, before it gets too late.

Jaemin ended up leaving the house as if he was being dragged away by his secretary.
