Defrost my heart

Chapter 17

Jin's POV
Oh my god, what did I just see? Petrified, I stood behind the door, holding my head.

It was already evening; we hadn't done anything today because the teachers thought we should first settle in with our roommates. So, we had the day to ourselves. Bryan, Jason, and this guy whose name I forgot went back to our rooms.

There we settled our stuff; after that, Jason and I visited Noah. Then, to be undisturbed, the three of us went to a quiet place to relax a bit.
"Caleb is changing... Isn't that good" Noah asked, looking at me with shining eyes?
"Yeah, at least you're not alone," I never had anything against Caleb. Still, I didn't know what to think about him talking to us again after such a long time. Was he up to something?
"I think it's quite good. But, I mean, he apologized to us," Jason spoke up.

"Well, he didn't apologize to Jin," Noah interjected.
"It doesn't matter now; the main thing is that no one will bug you," I muttered.
"Yes, he hasn't apologized to me yet, but to be honest, I never expected an apology. I just got over it ... that everyone goes their own way. In the beginning, I was really down, but because of my dream to become a police officer, I was able to find myself. Moreover, I am very happy that you two are still with me."

"Jin, I'm not going to hang out with him until he apologizes to you," Noah made it clear.
"You don't have to because of me,"
"No, I feel bad otherwise. Well, let's change the topic. I wonder how my cat is doing?" pouting, he threw himself into my arms, "I just need someone to cuddle," he looked at me again with his puppy dog eyes and pushed his lower lip forward.

Rolling my eyes, I patted him on the shoulder, "She must be fine now that she has her freedom and is no longer searched for at night," Jason immediately started laughing after my comment.
"Hey," Noah turned away in a huff.
"I was just kidding," I laughed and took him in my arms again and hugged him tightly.
"You are really affectionate today," Jason tried to help me out of his grip, but Noah wouldn't let go.

"You're just jealous," Noah stuck out his tongue and hugged me even tighter.
"As if, if I want to, I'll just throw myself on top of you. But first, I'll take a picture for Rose," he took his cell phone out of his pocket and took a few pictures. But, I wasn't entirely with it because my head was only focused on her as soon as he mentioned Rose.
The thoughts made me dizzy; I didn't want this but, all kinds of worries started spinning around my head.
"Earth to Jin, what's wrong with you?" Noah snapped in front of my forehead, "'Come on, let's pose for Rose. I have to look good, of course," he added and sat up straight again.

"Come on," Jason stood next to us and took a picture.
Of course, I joined in, but still, my mind was elsewhere.
"I have to call her," I mumbled.
"There's still time. Or can't you go a few hours without her?" Jason joked.

"Well, yes. I'm just worried," I mumbled, a little ashamed.
"Aw, Jin. I wish you were my brother. You are so cute!" Jason teased, but his laughter died when he looked at his phone again.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He didn't answer, only when I touched him lightly.
"I-it's nothing. I just got a message from my sister," he was lying through his teeth. But apparently, he didn't want to say it, and I would never push him, so I left it for now.

"Okay. If there's anything, you know you can tell me," I mumbled, then I turned back to Noah, who was busy snuggling up to me.
"Guys, I have to go back to our room for a minute. I'll be right there," Jason informed us before leaving without waiting for an answer.
"Where did he go?", Noah asked confused.
"Apparently, he will go back to our room. But anyway, shall we play cards?" I asked, taking out my cell phone.
"Do you want to lose again?" Noah laughed.
"Haha. We'll see about that."

He was the one who always lost and wanted to play until he won. But most of the time, I didn't feel like playing anymore, so I let him win on purpose.
And yes, even today was the case; hours passed until I didn't feel like playing anymore and let him win on purpose.
''HAAA! FINALLY! MUAHAHAHA," laughing, he threw himself on top of me, "Well, how does it feel, loser?"
Rolling my eyes, I pushed him away, "Yeah, yeah, it's bad. You're just invincible."
"I know."
