The familiar sound of a bell echoed, causing a throbbing pain in Anna's head, as if it were about to split open. She struggled to open her eyes and found herself in a familiar room, with the same blanket. Anna couldn't remember how she had returned home. She distinctly recalled only having two small cups of Soju; it shouldn't have led to such memory loss.
Despite her confusion, she realized that her priority was to muster the energy to go to work. Throwing off the blanket, she noticed she was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday. Anna tapped her head lightly; it seemed she really had drunk too much, not even changing her clothes or remembering anything. It appeared that every time she drank even a little, strange things happened. Next time, she vowed to abstain completely.
After changing into a clean outfit, she suddenly heard some noises coming from downstairs.
Could it be Andy returning?
Anna hurried down to the first floor but did not see Andy anywhere. Just as she thought she might have misheard, a strange yet familiar voice thundered from behind her.
"You're awake?"
Slowly turning around, Anna instinctively took a step back upon seeing the person in front of her, nearly losing her balance as she braced herself against the liquor cabinet in a defensive posture.
"Hogga? What are you doing here?" Anna's eyes widened in surprise.
Noticing Anna's wary expression, Hogga smiled slightly and said, "You drank too much yesterday and I happened to run into you on the subway, so I brought you back." As Hogga moved closer, Anna stepped back again, increasing the distance between them.
Hogga chuckled helplessly and sat down on the nearby sofa.
"I drank too much? But how do you know where I live? How could you get in?" Anna pondered carefully but came up empty-handed.
"You were the one who hazily pointed the way for me, and besides, the key is in your bag. I don't think you want me to take you to a hotel or some strange place," Hogga said.
Anna was at a loss for words. For some reason, every time Hogga appeared, Anna felt danger and strangeness, yet each time she questioned him, his responses made her feel like she was the one with ulterior motives. His presence and actions seemed so unreasonable, yet everything was somehow within the bounds of logic.
Anna didn't know what to do; she wasn't sure if she should say "thank you" to this person.
Noticing Anna's confusion, Hogga smiled slightly and said, "Hurry up and get ready for work; otherwise, you'll be late."
Anna glanced at the time and ultimately didn't say anything to Hogga. She quickly ran upstairs to her room, grabbed her phone and bag, and prepared to go to work.
However, when she returned to the first floor, Hogga had already vanished. Feeling uneasy, Anna suddenly received a text message.
"I've left; we will meet again."
Anna really couldn't understand why this person, who had no connection to her, always appeared out of nowhere. Who was he? What did he do? These questions were always the biggest mysteries in Anna's mind. That person seemed to know everything about her, yet she knew nothing about him. Anna now felt a bit regretful; perhaps she really should have talked to Andy about Hogga. But since she hadn't mentioned it at first, she didn't know how to bring it up now.
