(cover) Night like these [Shim Soo Ryeon x Logan Lee]

Chapter 14: Cold confusion

Soo Ryeon's eyebrows scrunched slightly as she was brought out of her sleep by a noise coming from the living room. Her brown eyes fluttered open softly seeing Logan's peaceful face as he slept. She paused listening intently, and she got slightly scared as she concluded it wasn't just her imagination.

"Logan." She whispered frightfully. "Logan." She repeated and he started to stir, wrapping his arms tighter around her. "Do you hear that?"

"What?" He groaned.

"Just listen." She said quietly, pausing and listening carefully again. Logan's eyes closed again as he started to fall back asleep, and she nudged him harshly.

"What?" He whined.

"What is that?"

"What's what?" He asked tiredly.

"That noise. What if there's someone in the living room?" She asked scared.

"There's no one in the living room baby." He said surely, shuffling in his spot getting more comfortable.

"Please Logan, just check." She pleaded and Logan sighed slowly getting up. Soo Ryeon got up after him, his T-shirt clung to her tiny frame, ending right above her knees. She tip toed behind him peaking over his shoulder as he walked into the living room rubbing his eyes. "Be careful." She added quickly.

Logan smiled to himself, rolling his eyes. He flipped on the light switch and he closed his eyes quickly having the light hit his iris.

"See, no ones in the living room." He mumbled tiredly leaning against the wall closing his eyes. Her eyebrows scrunched again as she looked around the room confused.

"But..but I heard a noise."

"I'm sure you did sweetie." He said letting out a big yawn.

"I did!"

I know baby, lets just go back to bed." He said standing up properly before Soo Ryeon quickly stopped him.

"Wait. There it is again." She said grabbing his arm. He looked around the living room hearing the annoying sound.

"What is that?" He thought out loud and Soo Ryeon looked at him with wide eyes and he laughed tiredly grabbing her hand. "Ryeonie, there's no one in the house." He laughed.

"That's what they want you to think." She whispered.

"I think it's the heater." He said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes again and walking toward the window that had the heater under it. He bent down in front of it hearing the strange noise. "The heaters broken again." He said standing back up and turning to her. She had her arms crossed over her torso and looked slightly bashful. "Don't worry, the big bad heater won't hurt you." He teased.

"Shut up Logan." She said walking back into there bedroom and he laughed quietly and followed her.

"It's broken baby. Your safe."

"Logan.." She whined.

"You'll just be a little cold." He continued and Soo Ryeon huffed as she crawled into the bed and spun around forcefully so her back was facing him. Logan laughed again wrapping his arms around her and kissing her shoulder.

Soo Ryeon pulled the large sweater closer to her body as she shivered sitting on the kitchen chair watching Logan try to fix the heater.

"Well, how did you fix it last time?" She asked. The whole house was freezing cold. She woke up this morning finding herself so close to Logan, she was practically on top of him, trying to get as much warmth as possible. Her skin cowered from the cold as small bumps formed on her arms. Logan was wearing his winter jacket, which Soo Ryeon found hilarious as he crouched in front of it with his tool box that he barely used, sitting beside him.
