"No.." you mumbled in your sleep, as you were shutting your eyes in fear. You thought you would die if you opened them. It's been a few days since you knew that haroboji was no more. Since then you hadn't slept well or if you did, this same nightmare would chase you there. You hugged the pillow tightly, thinking that you would die in someone's arms. That's when you opened your eyes, seeing the ceiling above you. It wasn't a dark sky, or you weren't surrounded by woods. It was your own room. Getting up from your bed, all you did was wipe off your forehead and drink the whole bottle of water.
"Shit" you cursed, how bad that nightmare was. You tried to sleep and all you got was this nightmare. "haraboji" you mumbled, thinking that he would come just how he used to come everytime you go through this. But he wasn't there. But your legs instantly moved to the door and decided to walk away from your own room.
You came downstairs, walked towards the kitchen. It was all empty and dark, sighing yourself as you went inside a small room. That was where haraboji used to sleep. Thinking that, you opened the door, only to see Jimin sleeping in a single cart bed. Your heart aches instantly seeing him shivering from the cold air. He had blankets over him, but still his shaking body was saying otherwise. Without thinking much, you went to your room and picked a thick huge blanket for him. You ran towards his room and entered inside slowly, not waking him up.
Seeing him in front of you, you covered the blanket on him, making him hug his own body underneath. You bit your lower lip, not making any fuss. You saw him sleeping peacefully like a newly born baby.
Yes. I'm gonna marry his grandson and write my property in his name. Those words of yours echoed in your mind while you were staring at him.
Sleep well, jimin. You thought, before coming out of his room.

Waking up from his sleep, Jimin's eyes furrowed as soon as he saw a huge thick pink blanket on him. He couldn't help but think of you, as he knows it's one of yours. He folded the blanket and kept on his bed, headed to start his daily routine.
He was about to finish breakfast and he heard some footsteps behind him. He turned around only to see you standing behind him. "Good morning" You smiled at him while he just bowed to you. "Say it back" you said, slapping his shoulder in a funny way. "G-good morning, Miss YN" he said, while you just chuckled. "Whatever" you said, sitting on the counter.
"Miss YN, it's almost done. Please wait in the dining arena." Jimin said, making you roll your eyes. "I can sit wherever I please. You don't have to order me around, Jimin" you said, while he apologized immediately. You held back your laughter when he resumed his cooking.
Once he's done, he walked towards the table with the food in his hand. You followed him and sat on the chair in front of the food. "Did you sleep well, Jimin?" you asked, Jimin's eyes grew wide as soon as he saw your mother staring at both of you. She headed towards you. "Get me some green tea, Jimin" she ordered, making Jimin rush inside the kitchen. You sighed and dug your chopstick inside the food.
"Don't play smart in front of me, Yn. I saw your blanket on his bed. What's going on?" she asked, while you rolled your eyes. "He was shivering and was it wrong to help him?" you asked again, while she cleared her throat. "Just know and be in your limits" she said, glaring at Jimin, who was walking towards her with the tea. You didn't take your eyes off Jimin. He bowed at both of you before walking away.
"I will get going" you said, heading outside after finishing eating whatever Jimin has made for you. "Be home on time" your mom shouted and that's when you smirked thinking that you would deliberately go home late.

Sitting next to him in the class, you couldn't help but stare at him often. You couldn't just stop yourself from getting drowned at his facial features. You cleared your throat, before speaking up with him. "I asked you something then, did you sleep well?" you asked, while he stared at you. "Yeah. Thanks for the blanket" he said, making you smile. "You can ask me anything you want. I will give you, hmm?" you said, while he just nodded his head.
"Do you have any plans in the evening?" you asked, eyes glowing at him. "Not really" he said, making you smile more. "Then take me to the cafe nearby. I wanna treat you" you said, making him shake his head. "No need, Miss YN" he said, while you closed your eyes in frustration. "Stop calling me that. I'm just YN. Got it?" you said, turning to the board. He gulped so hard the knit that formed on his throat. At the end of the day, you are his boss and he is your maid. He can't call you that.

Walking towards your car, you told the driver to leave the school, as you would go home with Jimin. He did as you said, and you waited for Jimin near his bicycle. Your face lit up when you saw him coming towards you. "Let's go" you said, showing your smile at him. "Go where?" he asked, while your brows scrunched. "To the cafe. Did you forget?" you asked, while he just shook his head. He didn't believe you really waited for him. "Where's your car?" He asked, looking around.
"I sent them. Now let's go" you whined, can't wait to hop on his bicycle. "You sure?" he asked once again. "Yes. Damn sure" you said, while he sighed before taking his bicycle. You hopped on the back of his bicycle and he started heading towards the cafe. You giggled before holding his shirt behind. Jimin couldn't believe anything that's happening around him. He soon came to the cafe and parked the bicycle.
"Let's go" you held his hand and ran inside the cafe. You ordered your favourite hot chocolate and you asked him what he wanted. "I don't want anything" while you sighed. "Iced americano" you said and stared at him. After paying for the drinks you walked towards an empty table in the corner. Jimin followed you awkwardly and sat across from you. "What is your problem?" you asked, while he just saw you.
"Listen Miss YN, what you are doing is not right? I'm not supposed to be here with you. We ain't some friends or something. You should know your limits and treat me in the right way" he said, while you didn't take any of his words to your head. "I'm treating you in the right way, Jimin. It's just you who doesn't understand it" you said, while his eyes grew wider. "You just don't know how I feel towards you-" you got cut off when your drinks were placed on the table.
"But you should remind yourself how you have treated me since day 1. You tore away my worksheets, you purposely threw away the food I made for you. It was chaos whenever you came near me. That's all what I feel towards you, YN" he said in one go, making your lips part apart. "I feel nothing but disgust about you, YN. If not my grandfather, I would've never been here" He said, storming out the place.
That's when you felt the tears leave your eyes.
