"What? What do you mean??" I asked, frantically.

"That guy you were hanging out with? He is our great enemy from our families." My mother said, firmly.

I was speechless.

"But, he was so sweet to me." I said in a quiet voice.

"Stop it." She snapped.

I felt tears of frustration coming off of my eyes.

"Fine." I said and walked to my bedroom.

I cried for like 10 minutes, until I heard tapping on my windowsill.

I wiped my eyes and rolled up my window.

It was Subin.

"Hey." He said.

When he saw my face, he asked, "Can I step in?"

I nodded.

"What's going on?" Subin asked.

"My mother said that your family is at war, and I think you should go home to your house." I sniffled.

"How about I stay a little bit?" He said and started to take off his shoes.

"Can I?" Subin asked.

I nodded.

"Hm, you have a nice bed, not to be creepy or anything." He said as he was looking on the mounds of pillows and blankets.

I smiled.

"Thanks."

"So, how about I stay for a little bit before I head home to my house?" Subin asked.

"But one tiny problem," I said and glanced at my window, "my mother opens my room everyday to give me my medicine"

Subin thought for a second.

"I can stay with you until midnight, then I'll leave." He said.

"Ok, yeah." I said and lay down on my bed.

Subin lay down besides me and took my hair on my ear.

"Sorry." He said, and turned away.

"It's okay," I said, "oh, I have two pillows." I stood up and walked to my bookshelf.

"Here you go."

"Thanks."

Then, I drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, I felt my mother tapping my  shoulder lightly.

"I have your morning meds. Oh, what is that smell?" She sniffed, and then tried to cover her nose.

"What?" I asked, groggily.

"Oh, whatever. Just take your medicine." My mother took her hands and I reluctantly took my medicine.

Then, I looked at my windowsill. Still no Subin.

Wait, I had a faint smell of Subin when he lay down besides me.

"So, he does wear cologne." I said and stretched my arms.

I smiled.
