2 two: Who's leading a more miserable life?

"I know you are not the Rumi whom I have known," said Lina.

"You did not understand," said Dae Ju.

"I could understand. And I also know who you really are. Now, get some sleep. Everything will be fine." said Lina.

"Then, do you believe that I am Dae Ju?" asked Dae Ju.

"Yes, yes. Don't worry. I know everything. I trust you. And it's so nice to finally meet you. Now get some rest." said Lina.

"Then, don't you have any problem staying with me? Isn't it problematic to take care of a person whom you didn't know?" asked Dae Ju.

"No, not at all. Don't worry. Now go to bed." saying this Lina went away.

"She didn't get angry at me at all! And she has no problem with me at all! Now I just have to find a way back to my original body." said Dae Ju to himself but he didn't know what was happening. He felt like a ton of sand or something had been removed just now and he felt relaxed. Lina came to the kitchen with the empty bowl and glass. Her face looked very worried. She took her phone and called someone.

"Hello! Doctor Han? I know I am bothering you too much but my husband is facing that problem again. What should I do?"

"Mrs. Lina? Ah! Can you please tell me the details? I forgot it." said a guy from the other side.

"The thing is, he is thinking that he is the most handsome guy Kim Dae Ju. And he was saying this like anybody could believe him. I am giving him those medicines but I think it's not working on him. Will he be fine?" asked Lina worriedly.

"He will be fine. Give him some time. It's not that serious. Keep giving him those medicines." said the guy.

"Okay, I will not bother you again if he gets well," said Lina.

"No, it's my duty. Then, bye." saying this smilingly he hung up. Lina was still worried about her husband as she believed that he had gone mad and he was talking rubbish. She remembered the night when she first came to live her life by herself. That night, she was very happy because she just got married to the person whom she loves more than herself. But that night she came to know that he married her just because of her father's money. She was like a tissue paper to him. He wanted to use her and that's why he married her. But she was confident that she will get his love whatever it costs. But she failed. She believed that he would love her but she was wrong. He became so cruel after the accident of four people. She was suspicious about that accident but Rumi didn't want any investigation. That's why she could never sort out what actually happened.

"Mom! Dad! It was my fault. Please forgive your useless, selfish daughter who never cared about you." saying that she started to cry. She was sitting on the stairs. She leaned on the wall and was crying continuously. Dae Ju felt thirsty and so he was coming but seeing her like that he stopped. He never saw her crying. Though he wasn't able to see her crying face, he was hearing the broken voice. He wanted to go and console her but he didn't find any beautiful words that could heal her heart. So he silently went inside his room again. He went to the washroom and washed his hands then he poured water in his grab and threw them on his face. He looked at the mirror. Though he finds himself helpless, today he thinks that Lina is the one who needs help. Maybe this is the cause he came to this body. Lina needs someone who could save her and destiny chose him. And as Lina knows his origin, he felt light. He should help her first then he will find a way to go back to his original body. But without knowing the problem, how could he be able to help her? She seems sad every time he looks at her.

"You haven't gone to sleep yet?" asking Lina to come.

"Oh! No, I was thirsty and I am going to get water." said Dae Ju with a little smile and look on her face. Her eyes haven't dried yet. Anyone could say that she cried a few minutes ago.

"I will go and get it for you. You should rather go to bed at two in the morning." saying this she left.

"Keep your phone down and go to bed." saying this Lina comes with a glass of water and gives it to him. He drank all the water in one second and put it on the table.

"By any chance, do you know manager Bong?" asked Dae Ju.

"Yes, why?" replied Lina.

"He called me today," said Dae Ju. Really? "What did he say to you?" shocked Lina. "I have to pay at least five percent of the loan within two weeks. Or else...." replied Dae Ju and stopped.

"Or else what?" asked Lina.

"We have to spend the rest of our life in jail." replied Dae Ju worriedly.

"Oh! What should we do now? How could we get that much money? We haven't started our jobs yet! And you can't work in this condition!" said Lina anxiously. "Ah! I got an idea! Oh! How intelligent I am!" said Dae Ju happily.

"What happened?" asked Lina. I can use my card as I know its number! I just have to get that now. Yup! Isn't it a fantastic idea?" said Dae Ju.

"Your card?" surprised Lina.

"Yes, I have ten million won on my card. But it will be difficult to get it now as I am in a different body." replied Dae Ju. Lina's face got more anxious.

"Okay, I understand, now go to sleep. I am sleepy too." Lina waited to see him lying on the bed.

"Ah! okay! But, do you like my idea?" asked Dae Ju, being excited.

"Yeah, yeah! Do whatever you want! Don't bother me." saying this Lina left from there. Dae Ju nearly jumped on the bed and put both of his hands under his head like a pillow. He was thinking about how he would get his card. Nobody will recognize him right now. He has to steal his own card! How cruel the world is! He got an idea and felt proud of himself. He also felt happy because he can do something for her now. When he was thinking how he could sneak into their dorm, he closed his eyes and went into his dreamland. The next morning when the sunlight fell directly on his face, he woke up. It was not very cold outside. But he was cold as he forgot to take a blanket. So, he pulled the blanket and covered his whole body. He almost forgot about last night and he wants to sleep more.

"Are you awake?" Lina knocked on the door and asked.

"Hmm." answered Dae Ju.

"Then, take the medicines in time and there are some snacks kept on the dining table. I am going to the salon. I will be late." saying this she waits for a while hoping that he will say something to her. But disappointing her, Dae Ju replied, "Hmm" After the reply Lina went away silently. When she was finally leaving the house, she met a woman who lived near their house. She was very close with Lina and nobody doesn't know why she adores Lina that much. After some time, the woman entered Lina's house. Dae Ju was still lying on the bed and checking the daily news on his phone. Their song made a high rank on billboard and it was the top news of today.

"Aish! Look how they are performing without me! They don't miss me at all! They are so happy! But, are they in America right now? Aish! What is this! I want to go to America too!" saying this he wants to throw. the phone but remembering that he barely got this phone, he controls himself. It's not like he never went to America, they all have to go there every year but he forgot that he was actually in America right then. He was watching the performance of his six little brothers but they finished their performance by shouting, "Dae Ju Hyung! We miss you!"

"Aish! What is this! They make me feel embarrassed! But I miss you guys too!" said Dae Ju. Suddenly he heard some noise coming from downstairs. He thought Lina didn't go yet but it was not Lina. After some time, a lady entered the room with some fruits.

"How are you my son!" asked the lady. Dae Ju got surprised and sat down as soon as he saw the lady. He couldn't recognize who the lady was. So he answered, "I am fine but who....." he can't ask her anymore.

"Ah! You forget me! I am Mrs. Ko." said the lady.

"Mrs. Who?" asked Dae Ju again.

"I live there" saying this she pointed at a house from the window.

"Ah! But what do you want here?" asked Dae Ju.

"I don't want anything. I came here to take care of you." said the lady.

"But why?" asked Dae Ju surprisingly. "You are like my son. That's why. Now eat the apple. I peel it for you." said the lady simply.

"No, I don't want to. You can leave!" said Dae Ju.

"You don't like me, right? Okay! I better go and do some work!" saying this with a heavy breath, she left from there. Dae Ju got up from the bed and went to the washroom. He remembered last night while brushing his teeth.

"Oh! I have to go! How could I forget about that! But there's high security in the dorm. But as they are in America, it would be easy! Yes! I should not waste my time." Dae Ju said to himself. He washed his mouth quickly and came to the room. He opened the cabinet but there was no clothes. He had to wear warm clothes but there was not a single piece of cloth there.

"Where did they go? I wore that yesterday too!" shocked Dae Ju. Then he saw that lady who came to give him free service.

"Excuse me! Can you tell me where the clothes went?" asked Dae Ju.

"Oh! Those clothes! I took all of them to wash." said the lady.

"But why?" he asked again.

"Because they were dirty!" replied the woman.

"But why do you have to wash them? Those are my clothes!" asked Dae Ju.

"Did you wash your clothes by yourself?" asked the lady.

"No." replied Dae Ju.

"Then who will wash them?" asked the lady. Dae Ju became speechless, finding no answer.

"Ah! My poor daughter! She has to do all these by herself!" saying this she left from there.

"Your daughter! Are you Lina's mom?" asked Dae Ju surprisingly.

"You really forgot everything as Lina said to me!" said the lady and smiled.

"Maybe I forgot everything!" saying this he took a long breath and looked at the window.

"Do you know why Lina is like my daughter?" asked the old lady.

"Why?" asked Dae Ju curiously. He was assured that this lady is not her mom.

"If you help me, I will tell you," said the lady. Dae Ju could understand that the lady was actually calling him to help her. As he was too kind he couldn't refuse the lady. He replied, "what can I do?" "Can you see the bucket? You have to take it to the roof. I will come and help you to keep them dried in the sun." said the lady simply. Dae Ju took the bucket which was full of wet clothes. It was quite heavy. The lady couldn't bring that alone. However, he reached the rooftop and kept the bucket on one side. He never dried clothes in the sun. So he doesn't know how to put it. He saw some rope hanging on the roof from one corner to another. He understood what he had to do. He took a T-shirt and kept it on the rope. As it was his first time, he could not do it properly. Then the lady came and said, "You should not keep it like that."

"Then how?" asked Dae Ju.

"You should first flip the cloth, then drain the water like this, then put it in the rope. But remember never put the right side. It is the rule. If you break the rule, your clothes could be burned in the sun."

"What? The cloth will burn?" shocked Dae Ju.

"No! The cloth will be discolored!" said the lady and behaved like she was talking with a fool. Dae Ju noticed and learned from first to last as it was the most important thing in life. He started to work as the lady said.
