804. When a friend goes out of their way to help you

 "What do you mean you haven't gone to see your granny yet?"

Rennie's text shot back before Jun could think. Why did he tell her? Why? A part of him wanted to turn off his phone and just lie there cold in bed. Only he was hot and clumsily took his shirt off instead. Still focused on his phone. Why did Louie have to keep the flat so hot?

He shouldn't have told Rennie how Sunny got a lunch all set up at the assisted living, and he was the only one to miss it. Didn't she know how awful he felt about missing it? Evidently, not because she kept sending him messages like, "You need to see her before it's too late." "You are her only grandson. LOVE HER."

He felt as if his nerves were shot as it was with the new job. He almost spilled hot coffee on someone, but spilled it on himself instead. Honestly, this was not the job for him. But where was he to go? Couldn't everyone see, he was really trying?

But as of yet he wasn't really good with the washing machine at the apartment, and he just had so much to do and no time. His clothes were on the floor. Some clean. Some not. He had to face it. He was lost in this world. He didn't mean to not take care of himself. Jun wished he could get away, only he didn't know where.

"What if I came to live with you?"

Her text enlarged the pupils of his eyes. What was she trying to say? 

"You've been honest with me, haven't you?"

Jun winced hard with a sigh. It was time to drop the phone, but he couldn't, not with Rinnie.

"You can't come all the way to Seoul." No way did he have the funds.

"Why not?"

"Oh, God, we don't know each other that well."

End of story. The phone went silent. He was certain she'd never text him again. But she did.
