He stayed there all night, arms around you, a few pecks often on top of your head that you never knew.

He didn't know when he drifted off to sleep, he didn't realise anything around him when he was around you, he just didn't wanna notice anything.

With the birds chirping sounds through the window, with the rays of sunshine on your face, you couldn't help but wake up from your deep sleep. Your body was wrapped around your warm blanket, you wanted to sleep more but your eyes widened when you remembered your dream last night.

You sat on your bed, looking around. You sure knew you weren't alone last night. "Jimin" you mumbled, eyes all around until they fell on a cup of coffee on your side. You sighed, but soon your eyebrows squinted when you saw a paper under the cup. You didn't waste time before rushing towards it, picking it up in your hand. You quickly unfold the paper and read what was written inside.

It was from Jimin.

"Are you awake finally? I guess you must be running late to school today." as you read, you stopped reading and checked the time. You were already late. Sighing, you continued reading it, rushing towards your bathroom. "I'm sorry, I didn't inform you before, but halmeoni will be preparing food for you. For the next two days." Your eyebrows were squinting more in confusion.

"I had to come to Busan. Some work in here. But I will be back soon. I guess I can't talk to you even through texts. I would be swamped here. So, see you soon. Take care." you folded the paper quickly after reading it. You breathed out heavily, reading everything. "What's so important?" you mumbled, starting your morning routine.

Chewing your breakfast, you were thinking about Jimin. You raised your eyes and saw halmeoni next to you. "Where is he right now? He said he has some work." You questioned her, hoping she knows it. She chuckled before answering. "He said he would be leaving for his mother's relatives' house. He doesn't like it in there, but still, they called him over. About his studies, work and everything."

"If he doesn't like it, then he should've stayed." You mumbled in frustration, eating your food. "Few things can't be avoided, dear. He has to be there. He said, there's some occasion as well. Let him have some good time." She said with a smile. "Doesn't he have a good time with me?" you questioned, standing on your feet. She couldn't help but giggle at your puppy face.

"Who wants to have a good time with you?" a voice raised, making both of you turn to it. You saw your mother standing in front of both of you. You gulped, seeing her figure. "Who are you complaining about, YN? Who do you want to be with you?" she questioned again, taking her steps towards you slowly.

"Who else? It's Jimin." You said casually, sitting back on your chair, resuming eating your food. She chuckled in disbelief at your words. "You are driving me crazy, YN. You just don't listen to me." She said, sitting next to you. You dropped your spoon on your plate and stood up. "What? Me? Where were you these days? In Korea or somewhere else? Do you know that I was ill? Did you come to see me? Did you at least make a call and talk with me? No. And you say, I'm driving you crazy?"

She went speechless, she stared at your figure saying nothing. She couldn't answer your questions. "If you really want to be with me, then leave everything to your husband and stay by my side. Even now, I wanna say many things to you, but you just don't have time with me. If MY MOM was here, she would've listened, right?" you were saying and tears were leaving your eyes.

"YN" she tried to hold your wrist, but you yanked her hand and took your bag. "I'm leaving for my school, it's already late," you said, running towards your car. You never really cry in front of her, and if you do, you feel like you were the weakest person on this planet.

You don't feel good without having Jimin next to your seat. He was always there. He listened to all of your nonsense talks, but today it was different. He wasn't there and you felt the emptiness. You went to your friends, talked to them, just to pass this day quickly and you have to wait one more day.

You thought that could be impossible.

You haven't had lunch with Jimin, you haven't texted him, and even if you did, you got no replies from his side. That would piss you off, but you still chose to wait.

"What's wrong?" your friend asked, you stared at her blankly, you can't even explain it. "Are you still tired?" she checked the temperature on your forehead. "I'm fine, I just, urgh, I don't know." you leaned on the desk, closing your eyes. She knew you, she knew why you were not in the mood, she saw the changes in you, after all, she was your friend.

After what felt like forever, you came to your home from your school. You straight up went to your room and changed into your night outfit. You lay down on your bed and went through the texts you sent to Jimin. He hasn't even seen your messages. You sighed heavily, before pressing your face against the pillow. You groaned, crushing your pillow.

"Woah, Woah, did you go crazy in a day?" you raised your head and saw the door frame. Jimin was standing, holding a cup of coffee for you. You got off the bed and saw him with your wide eyes. He chuckled, looking at you, coming inside. He placed the cup on the stand and stared at you who was not even blinking her eyes.

"W-when did you come?" you questioned, while he stood in front of you, inches away. "Like an hour ago," he said, smiling. "But- you said you would come tomorrow, and why didn't you text me when you come back?" you were asking him furiously. "Relax, I just had some work down there. Look at me, I came to bring your coffee on time." he was still smiling.

You stood there, not knowing what to say. "Have it and call me if you need anything," he said, what he says usually. He grinned, before turning back, and stepping out of the room. "Wait" you ran towards the door and locked it. You turned back, leaning on the door while he was just a few inches away from you.

You breathed in an uneven phase, staring at him. His puppy eyes looked back at you, questioning what you were doing. "Is it all your choice, huh? You come whenever you want, and you leave as you wish?" you uttered, he blinked his eyes confused. "I- No- I didn't mean that-"

You went to him, giving him a bone-crushing hug, taking his breath away. It was so tight, showing how much you missed him. "I really missed you," you said, your cheek against his manned chest. He sighed, before wrapping his arms around you. He chose to listen to your words. You didn't stop saying what you wanted to say.

"I felt so lonely today, I hated school, I hated lunch." he smiled at your words. "And you didn't even text me back, just think how much I would've missed you." you sighed, breaking the hug and staring at him. "How would you know? You never miss me," you said, trying to get off the hug, but you were stopped from going back. His arms were so tight around you. He was staring at your soul, making you gulp hard.

"I know how it feels, YN." he said, his voice sounding so deep. "huh?" you didn't break your eye contact with him. "I should be coming tomorrow, but I'm here in front of you." as he was saying, you bit your lips, producing a dimple on your cheek. "You should understand me, YN. I won't say everything," he said, leaving your body, you stumbled before standing straight.

He passed you to leave, but he couldn't go away. "Look, I have work downstairs and you are disturbing me," he said, your eyes widened. "What did I do?" you raised your question. "Just don't come down. Um- If you want to, come after half an hour. I will make dumplings." he said, twisting the knob, and stepping outside hurriedly.

You stood there frozen, lips slowly curving into a huge smile. You jumped on the bed and crawled all over. You hit your pillow, giggling, showing how happy you were.
