Two-faced

- her 'boyfriend' -

I'm genuinely surprised at his gesture, I don't want to be alone and he's offering a solution.

How can I not take it right? Besides he's just offering this to be nice.

"Okay. Come in then," I open the door wider for him.

As soon as I close it behind us Sunwoo grins. An innocent grin I've never seen him with before.

"I have tons of dramas on here... romance of course." He says.

I can't help but stare at him as he lays his laptop on my bed and sits down. Sunwoo pats an opening next to him and my lips part. I can't believe he's doing this for me.

I climb onto the bed next to him, he closes the distance between us by resting his laptop on his lap.

"What do you want to watch?" He asks.

"Anything," I glance at him. Not that I'm flustered, but I'm not used to having him in such close proximity.

"Ok we'll watch my favorite film," Sunwoo clicks around on his computer. I see files on his desktop for each school subject.

"Kimi no na wa, or 'Your Name'" Sunwoo explains.

I nod and he plays the movie. As time passes we become more comfortable being near each other. Sunwoo urges me to lay my head on his shoulder which I do.

His presence is calming for some reason, because usually he's my main source of stress. Maybe it's so comforting because he knows I don't have feelings for him and I know he can't have feelings for me. It's impossible.

"You smell like strawberries," Sunwoo says randomly.

"Do I?" I ask.

"In a good way I mean." He adds. "It's nice,"

"Thanks I guess."

As we watch the movie Sunwoo sub consciously grasps my hand plays with my fingers.

I wonder why he's so natural at being like this since he's never been in love, but then I realize it's probably because he doesn't feel anything. If only Sunwoo knew how anxiety inducing it is to have a crush.

With the comfort of a trusted friend next to me, I start to feel sleepy.

The soft voices of an unfamiliar language are relaxing from the movie and my eyes begin to droop.

Before I know it I'm asleep despite all of the drama that occurred today.

[2:05 am]

I hear a soft thud and I slowly open my eyes. The lights are off but I can see from my view that I'm resting my head in Sunwoo's lap, and his computer fell.

I turn my head to look at Sunwoo who's peacefully sleeping with his head tilted to one side. Even when he's asleep he looks slightly stressed by something. And I realize how much sympathy I actually have for the boy.

He moves a bit in his sleep and pulls me closer to him if possible.

Somehow I manage to relax from this and fall asleep again.

[7:30 am]

My alarm beeps and I sit up in my bed immediately. It takes me a second to remember what happened last night, and I look around me and Sunwoo is gone.

All that's left on the bed is his folded sweatshirt.
