"I came to say goodbye," he whispered into your ear, knowing the words would only meld into your dream state and not alert you of his actual departure. The idea of you being awake and sending him off was too much to bear.

Especially if you cried.

Jeonghan's mission to visit Earth was to gather intelligence. He had been sent to further understand why humans were unpredictable creatures, so vast in mindset and emotions. The planet from which he came from was a peaceful place, where no one questioned the unnecessary. Everyone carried out the same level of productivity each day, all working towards the greater good of their land. There was never any true shift in demeanour, unlike what they had observed from Earth. They had decided after inspecting from afar for some time that they would send multiple teams to different parts of this foreign world, to get a more in-depth grasp over why humans were the most peculiar of creatures.

To him, you had been the most unusual of them all.

You possessed no sense of gravity, you ate even when you weren't hungry and you could laugh and cry all in one day. What had started as curiosity soon evolved into great interest. Jeonghan was certain you were a very different kind of human and one that his species would find enthralling to understand up close.

His approach in getting to know you made you experience high spikes of anxiety though.

"Is... is there something I can help you with?" you asked of him, blinking rapidly. He watched you for a moment or two, scanning your expression avidly. You were fearful of him and so to ensure he was successful, he smiled at you.

His human guise could perhaps be thought of as handsome, at least, that was what he had heard a group of women on the university campus exclaim as he walked by. Back home, he looked just like everyone else and so Jeonghan had to admit, he was a little impressed by his choice of outward appearance here on Earth.

The smile didn't ease you at all, and Jeonghan soon realised that his appearance made you uncomfortable. Should he change it? Could you be suffering from a sense of unworthiness? He attempted to raise a gentle hand towards you but your eyes remained guarded and he dropped it, lowering his head and walking away.

For a confident alien, every time he tried to connect with you, he would become feeble in your presence. You were slowly coming out of your shell, not necessarily at ease with him, though you no longer guarded your expression either. Jeonghan was frustrated at how slow you opened up compared to all the other female humans. They would fawn over him, displaying large amounts of sexual desire and willingness to get closer to him. He wasn't seeking that kind of connection with your kind, though it did perturb him that you didn't act in the same manner.

"You often appear here," you mentioned in the study hall one evening, off your own accord. A small smile pulled at your lips. "You live in the apartment complex across the road from me, right?"

So you had noticed him then. He smiled and nodded, choosing not to speak to you yet. You were doing such a good job at conversing with him already that he worried he would unsettle you if he did.
