Jeno and Erin were back at their apartment. Night was approaching and he realize that Mark and Haechan hasn't came home yet. They never even told Jeno where they were going earlier today, making him slightly suspicious since they would always tell him.

Erin was walking past Jeno, after sweeping the floor of the apartment towards her shared room with Mark. Jeno sat on the couch and spoke up, abruptly stopping his friend.

"Did Mark and Haechan told you where they were going today?" Jeno asked the girl. Expected, Erin shrugged.

"I honestly don't know where they went either, neither of them told me anything. If anything it's probably family business." Erin contemplated on what could've been a solution. "I'm not 100% positive though."

Family business. Jeno thought, wondering what type of family business that is going on without him. After all, they are all cousins from 3 different families. Jeno brushed that thought and let Erin do her own thing.

Jeno turned on some television, watching the news channel. Nothing didn't appear to him so he scrolled on his phone instead, having the television in the background.

Not long after, Jeno heard the door open, revealing Mark and Haechan who just came home, laughing at their weird shenanigans. They saw Jeno and said hi to him as usual. Mark darted off to his room with Erin since he probably misses her. Haechan on the other hand sat next to Jeno on the couch.

"Where did you and Mark go today?" Jeno turned to his cousin who was sitting on the couch next to him. "Erin didn't know either."

Haechan didn't bother thinking before speaking. "Spent some time together, that's all."

Jeno wasn't buying Haechan's statement for some reason but brushed it off. "I'm going go head to sleep. It's getting pretty late. You should too." He turned off the television and got up from the couch.

He walked to his bedroom, closing it shut while leaving Haechan in the living room alone.

Shortly after, Haechan went to his bedroom, shaking his head as he could tell Jeno seemed stubborn these days.

It's gonna be a lot harder than I thought to talk about Jena to him.

Jena came home from work exhausted. She stood inside of the apartment, spacing out due to tiredness and didn't even realize that Doyoung was trying to get her attention. Jena blinked realizing that there's a figure in front of him.

"Jena, I called your name at least ten times already." Doyoung grabbed her belongings and put it on a chair. He came back to her, cupping her face upwards towards him. "You look really tired from work. Are you okay?"

"Mhm." Jena slowly nodded, slowly blinking her eyes as she could sleep any moment now.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" Doyoung offered Jena who smiled brightly.

"Yeah sure, why not?" Jena's energy suddenly came back up as they both settled on the couch next to one another. Jena grabbed the blanket from the side of the couch while Doyoung grabbed the remote to play a movie.

The chosen movie, The Heirs was playing with a typical K-Drama conflict. Jena honestly didn't last long while watching the movie and later felt asleep onto Doyoung's shoulder.

Doyoung felt his shoulder being leaned on by a head. He looked at Jena's sleeping figure and reminded himself to not move to wake her up. Luckily, Jena didn't snore so he was able to watch the rest of the movie peacefully.

So beautiful.

After the movie ended, Doyoung felt like all of his limbs were falling asleep too. Knowing that Jena was in a deep sleep. He laid on the couch into a comfortable sleeping position and pulled Jena closer to him to the point she was laying on top of him. Her head was laying the crook of his neck, arms draped down on him.

Doyoung had one arm around the girl and one free hand to where he could lay it comfortably. He brushed Jena's hair so that they were tucked behind her ears, hearing her soft breathing. He kissed her forehead and slept with her on the couch for the rest of the night.

Jena woke up in the morning through natural instinct. She looked at the position she was and started turning red as a tomato. She was on top of Doyoung on the couch and she was practically hugging him. She recalled that she didn't ended up like this last night.

Jena quickly got off of him on the couch, covered Doyoung with a blanket and practically ran to the bathroom, closing it shut.

Jena looked at herself in the mirror, looking at her expression. She brought her hand up to her blushing cheeks and was absolutely shocked. "Oh my god, why am I blushing."

Why is my heart tingling?

Jena scratched that thought of her head, turning on the water and making a water bowl with her hands, splashing her face to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating.

Eventually, Jena stopped washing her face and had to admit that she was blushing. Work was in 30 minutes so she quickly got ready to leave. She changed her clothes and gathered her stuff. When she left the apartment, Doyoung was still sleeping soundly. She took one last glance at him, smiled and closed the apartment door softly so that Doyoung wouldn't wake up.

"Doyoung, can you please take Jena home from work? She's being stubborn and she looks really fatigued right now."

Those were the first words that Doyoung heard after getting a phone call about Haein about Jena's sudden condition. He took his belongings and went to the cafe immediately from the apartment.

Jena on the other hand was trying to get it together at work. She threw up earlier her breakfast that she had at work and she was feeling nauseous out of nowhere. She had to keep it up since had to earn money to pay off rent and university tuition.

She rested her hand on the counter, waiting for the orders that needed to be made for pick up. Orders were slowly given to her as she did them efficiently. Once the store slowed down, Haein approached Jena.

"Jena, you should go home today. You're not feeling well and I don't want you to overwork yourself." Haein rubbed her back in circles.

"I can make it through the shift, it's only 3 more hours." Jena slowly reassured her, tiredness in her tone.

"I can't send you home myself because you're being so stubborn so I called your little boy friend instead." Haein told Jena, signaling that she called Doyoung.

Eventually though, Jena did eventually give up and took off her apron. Haerin was relieved that Jena was going home, especially since Doyoung just walked into the store.

Jena walked towards Doyoung, getting ready to go home, but what she didn't know was that she blacked out in the middle of the cafe before reaching Doyoung.

"Jena!"
