Chapter 52: Neighbors
After paying the money and sending off the substitute driver, Jin Haoyu was still a little dazed on the way to the elevator, not that he had just drunk too much, but that he was extremely confused about everything that happened tonight.
Whether it was Seo Hyun's bold behavior or Kim Tae-yeon's unusual behavior and attitude, he felt very troubled.
"Ahh Wait a minute. ”
Seeing the elevator door slowly closing not far in front of him, Jin Haoyu hurriedly shouted while running.
"Whew~ What a blessing."
Just as the door was about to close, he reached in and blocked the door's automatic closing.
"Uh..."
Jin Haoyu looked up and found a familiar woman standing in the elevator.
Turning his head, sure enough, the light of the 43rd floor button emitted a faint light.
"You, hello." Jin Haoyu bowed slightly and said hello.
Knowing that the last time they met, they left too much bad impression on each other, and Jin Haoyu, who was dressed normally today, saluted the other party respectfully and politely, hoping to reverse some of his bad image.
Who knew that the other party didn't answer, but kept staring at himself with his eyes, Jin Haoyu pulled up a smile slightly embarrassed, not understanding what the other party was doing.
Just when he was puzzled, the other party slowly took off his black full-rim glasses, raised his right hand and reached into the black hair, took off the lanyard from behind his ear, and the black mask was slowly lifted.
Jin Haoyu hadn't seen the other party's appearance clearly, but he heard the other party suddenly shout at him.
"Oh Mo!" Jin Haoyu was so frightened by the sudden cry that he took half a step back.
The black-haired woman covered her face and bent over laughing when she saw Kim Ho-woo's reaction.
Jin Haoyu looked at the figure who was about to squat on the ground laughing all the time, and there was only one thought in his mind, he had a nervous disorder.
After a few seconds, she finally eased up, and the other party slowly raised her head, and Jin Haoyu saw her appearance clearly.
"Han, Han Hyo-joo xi?" Jin Haoyu said in surprise.
"Na, that's right, it's been a long time, Kim Haoyuxi." The woman said with her hand gently blocking her mouth that was still smiling and wide open.
"But how could you? … Ah, I see! ”
Jin Haoyu had a suddenly realized expression, and finally understood the reason for the strange questions asked by the other party that day, and why he knew the exact number of layers in his house.
"Well, what a coincidence, I thought you already knew, but you didn't know anything..."
Han Xiaozhu's eyebrows were slightly curved, and the corners of her mouth said with a smile.
"I just saw that you didn't recognize me, so I made a joke with you, don't you mind?"
Jin Haoyu's mind finally turned, and after figuring out the cause and effect of the whole thing, he also smiled bitterly: "It seems that I am still really dull." ”
"Well, it seems that this is really the case." Han Hyo-joo chuckled and agreed.
The elevator stopped quickly, and it was time for the two to separate, who hadn't spoken much when they met.
"I'll see you in time, Kim Ho-woo xi," she said goodbye waving goodbye to Kim Ho-woo.
"Oh, goodbye." Jin Haoyu replied reflexively, and watched her turn around and leave in a daze and enter her own house.
He just wanted to explain to Han Hyo-joo about the previous incident with Yu Li, but he didn't expect to say goodbye and leave before he could say goodbye.
It seems that it can only be next time, he silently thought in his heart that Han Xiaozhu turned out to be his new neighbor, which was really unexpected and made him a little uncomfortable.
After returning home, Jin Haoyu took a shower first, washed the smell of wine on his body, and his mind was much clearer, he didn't drink much at the party.
Casually wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and light gray pajama pants, he leaned against the cold floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the living room, looking at the brightly lit city of Seoul and the flowing Seongsu Bridge at his feet in a slight daze, thinking about what happened at the previous party.
Whenever he thinks of Kim Tae-yeon's high-pitched and poignant singing at the end, he feels inexplicably uncomfortable.
As a musician, he can clearly capture the unwillingness, sadness and resentment in Kim Taeyeon's voice, but he can't know why, after all, he doesn't have the superpower to read through other people's inner thoughts.
Faced with Kim Taeyeon, who refused to communicate, he really had a sense of helplessness that he couldn't slip and had nowhere to start.
At this time, the sudden ringing of the doorbell made him slightly startled, no one should come to the door at this time, is it the property?
Jin Haoyu looked at the image of the access control system, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and then hurriedly opened the door.
I saw Han Hyo-joo, who was wearing a loose pure white loungewear, standing in front of the door, holding a plate in her hand.
After handing the plate in her hand to Jin Haoyu, she said, "It's rude that I haven't visited since I moved here, this is for you." ”
"What is this, fried rice cakes?"
After Jin Haoyu took it, he looked at the spicy fried rice cake wrapped in red hot sauce and steaming hot on the plate, and asked in surprise.
"Ah~ this, because I couldn't find a rice cake for a while, I made a fried rice cake, don't you mind?" Han Hyo-joo said with a hearty smile.
In Korea, there is a tradition of giving rice cakes to neighbors after moving, which means that they hope that their neighbors will take care of them in the future.
However, due to Han Xiaozhu's identity as an artist, she has never done this, and this time she suddenly remembered that the other party was an insider who did not need her scruples.
"Ah, no, thank you."
Kim Haoyu, who received such a gift for the first time, finally reacted to the reason why the other party did this.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Jin Haoyu remembered that he still had something to say to her, so he opened his mouth and invited.
"But, is that okay? It's so late that it won't affect your family's rest. Han Xiaozhu hesitated.
"I live alone." Kim Haoyu explained with a smile.
"Then disturb me." Han Hyo-joo breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and with some curiosity, she walked through Kim Hao-woo's side and entered the door.
Kim Haoyu held the plate in one hand and took out a pair of women's slippers from the cabinet with the other and handed them to Han Hyo-joo.
Krystal, who had been to Kim Ho-woo's house once before, complained that he was not prepared, so he bought two pairs to spare.
Han Hyo-joo walked through the porch after changing her shoes, looking at the living room of Kim Ho-woo's house with some curiosity.
Although the layout of her home is exactly the same except for the symmetry, the decoration style is completely different.
"Wow~"
Han Hyo-joo was immediately attracted by the huge oil paintings on one side of the long row of floor-to-ceiling windows, which occupied almost the entire wall.
At first glance, the picture depicts a pond with lilac and azure colors, but if you look closely, you will find that each place is composed of a variety of different colors, and there are green lotus leaves of different shapes and white lotus blooming in the water, as if the water of this pond reflects all the colors of the world.
"This is part of Water Lilies, right? Monet's "Water Lilies". Han Hyo-joo asked as she opened her eyes wide and looked at it carefully.
"Water Lilies" is a huge work of Claude Monet, one of the founders of French Impressionist painters, in his later years, known as a magnificent epic, the "Ninth Symphony" of Impressionism.
"Oh, yes, it's a replica of Water Lilies."
After placing the fried rice cake on the bar counter on one side of the open kitchen, Kim Haoyu looked up and replied.
"Well~ It's so good, where did you buy it?" Han Hyo-joo turned to Kim Ho-woo and asked.
"I didn't buy it." Kim Haoyu said while busy making tea for Han Hyo-joo.
"That's?"
"I drew it."
Jin Haoyu, who was bending down to find a tea bag in the cabinet, faintly floated over.
"You drew it?! Hey, don't lie. Han Xiaozhu said with a look of disbelief, if he was so good at painting, he would go directly to become a painter, what kind of song would he write?
"Hehe, just kidding, that's the work of a friend of my mom. I liked it so much that I moved around and put it at home. ”
Jin Haoyu came to Han Hyo-joo with the freshly brewed black tea and handed it over.
"I'll just say, if you're so good at painting, you won't let anyone else live. Hmm~ This tea is delicious. ”
Han Xiaozhu held a white cup and saucer with gold trim in her left hand, pinched the handle of the cup in her right hand, lifted the bone china teacup and gently took a sip.
Jin Haoyu smiled lightly and said, "It's good if you like it, but wait a minute, I will say something, don't squirt." ”
"What?" Han Hyo-joo turned her head to look at him and asked curiously.
