Promises

The next day when Seokjin woke up, he felt so amazing that he is almost tempted to go back to sleep. But then jolted up as he felt the comfort. Looking around, he understood that he was in the bed. He looked at the couch thinking that Namjoon would be sleeping there, but there was no one in the room. He stood up and went to the kitchen but did not find Namjoon there.

"Oh, Seokjin-shi."

Seokjin turned back and saw an unknown lady in her late 20s or early 30s. She bowed to him and smiled, "I am Oh Saeha. I am your new cook."

"Ah!" Seokjin bowed and smiled, "Do you know where Namjoon is?"

Saeha nodded, "He went to work early today. He informed me to tell you that he was sorry, but it was urgent."

Seokjin nodded and turned back to go to the room. But he stopped and turned, "Thank you. I will be back in half an hour, please prepare breakfast for me."

Saeha nodded and went back to her work. Seokjin left the house after finishing his breakfast and reached the college in half an hour.

"Hyung!"

Seokjin turned back and smiled, "Hey!"

"Is everything alright? You sort of just ghosted me yesterday." Hoseok started walking with him.

"Ah. Sorry." Seokjin nervously scratched the back of his head, "Namjoon's lawyer came by yesterday and explained whatever they are going to do. They are suing the people."

Hoseok nodded, "Ah! That's a relief."

Seokjin hummed, "And..."

"And?" Hoseok perked his eyebrows.

Seokjin sucked in a deep breath and tilted his head, "Hoseok-ah, do you think I sleepwalk?"

Hoseok scrunched his nose, "Huh?"

"No..." Seokjin licked his lips, "So, after what happened yesterday, we decided to sleep in one room and th-"

"WHAT?" Hoseok yelled, attracting the students and the teachers in the lobby.

"Aish!" Seokjin hit Hoseok on his head, "Keep your voice low." He looked at the people and bowed, "I am sorry. Please carry on."

Hoseok stood in front of Seokjin with huge eyes, "What did you just say? You decided to live in one room?"

Seokjin rolled his eyes and lightly pushed Hoseok out of the way, "Yeah we decided to live in one room so that the new staff doesn't do the same thing." They resumed walking to the teacher's lounge. "But, last night I slept on the couch in his room and then when I woke up, I was in the bed."

Hoseok smirked and stood in front of Seokjin again, "You weren't sleepwalking. You don't do that. You sleep like a log. I am sure Namjoon carried you to the bed and then..."

Seokjin's ears were red and he looked at Hoseok with an irritating gaze, "And then what? Huh?"

"How would I know?" Hoseok just shrugged and entered the lounge and went to his table.

Seokjin sighed, "Aish." He sat at his table and looked at his phone. "Should I text him?" He opened Namjoon's contact and stared at it, "Should I thank him?" He sighed and again locked the phone.

"Ssaem!"

"Ah, Goodness!" Seokjin turned back, "Kim Taehyung-shi! You scared me."

"Sorry, ssaem." Taehyung grinned widely, "But I need your help. I am giving an audition for a small role in a drama. Would you observe me?"

Seokjin nodded, "Sure. Meet me in the auditorium at 4."

Taehyung smiled, "Okay! Thank you." He bowed and ran out of the teacher's lounge.
