Song of the Chapter: I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz (I prefer Eric Nam's cover)

"Gwenchana?" He asks as he leaned over and poked my sore cheek making me wince as I swat his hand away. "It hurts okay." I rolled my eyes at him and I hear him huff as he poked my cheek again making me whine out from the pain that erupted in my sore cheek. This jerk is getting on my nerves. "I'll be dead if B.I will know this." He drives off as I rubbed my cheek and decided to ignore him as he drive. He looks serious at the moment but I don't care, he's still a jerk but again, he saved me.

"Where are we?" I asked as he got off and I followed him out of the car as he locked it and grabbed my hand again, pulling me towards a huge apartment. Maybe this is his apartment, screw him and his richness. "Stay here." He instructs as he pushed me on the couch and ran off somewhere making me sigh as I roll my eyes and got comfortable as I placed my bag to the side and checked my phone but there were no messages to be exact.

"Oh gosh, there's a handprint." Jinhwan comes back with an ice bag and examines my face before caressing the sore cheek making me blush at his closeness. Since when did he care? This is seriously new to me. "Aish, stop poking it. It hurts." I whined at him and he laughs, patting my cheek softly as he placed the bag on my cheek, feeling its coldness through it making me flinch a bit. "I like the nice Jinhwan more than the jerk Jinhwan." I teased him while rolling my eyes and he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Hey! I'm nice, I just like to tease you." He defends and I gave him a playful glare.

"Nice doesn't suit your egoistic personality." I fired at him and he slumps his shoulders as he continues to pat my cheek with the ice bag carefully. Silence filled us and its wonderful since I can think straighter now. I glanced at the surroundings and found it clean and nice, its perfect for a living until my eyes dropped at the latter who was staring at me with intensity. "What?" I asked and he shakes his head, a smirk forming on his lips.

"I need to go Jin, my brother is looking for me." I glanced at the text message of my brother and Jinhwan nods, examining my cheek again before placing the bag of ice in the table. I stood up as I slip in my backpack and walked towards the door before a hand grabs my wrist. "I'll walk you home, whether you like it or not." He narrowed his eyes at me as he pulled me out of his apartment in one motion. This guy is so unbelievable.

"You don't have to." I said as he tightened his grip on my hand and he rolls his eyes at me making me huff quietly as we walk together, hand in hand. "I need to. My parents sometimes spy on me, so I really need to walk you home so they'll get suspicious." This guy and his evil plans are seriously stressing me out. He laughs quietly when he saw my face and he poked my cheek again, making me wince a bit. He gives me a peace sign and I almost hit him on the arm but we already arrived in front of our house.

"Thanks." I smiled briefly at him as I begin to walk but he stops me again, for the second time. "Wait." He pulls me closer to him and he placed a kiss on my sore cheek and pats it. "I hope it'll get better. I have healing powers." I blushed as he winked and waved good bye. I can't believe he kissed me on the cheek, its so unusual of him. But nonetheless, it was fake since his parents are spying and its time for me to encounter the great ol' Kim Hanbin inside.

"Hey, I'm so worried. You never answered to my texts." He pulls me into a hug and my eyes widened as I tried to push him away. Not again, please not now. He tightened his hold on me and I almost choked but luckily I caught my breath. "S-Stop pushing me away. I'm making it up to you, for being a careless brother." He says with a shaky breath and I sighed, slumping my shoulders as I let him. I could hear his sniffles and I gulped as I hug him back, patting his back softly to comfort him.

"Oppa, stop crying." I pushed him away and wiped his tears using the back of my hand. He smiles at me and I nod while avoiding eye contact. He laughs silently before ruffling my hair and stepping aside. I bowed at him and walked upstairs, opening the door of my room and went inside. "That was not Kim Hanbin." I mumbled breathlessly, throwing my bag to the side and collapsed on bed, thoughts having a marathon on my mind. Hanbin don't and won't cry, seriously. He's not my brother. The brother I know doesn't care what I do, where I go and won't even bother to appreciate my presence. I wonder where he is, is he on a vacation? Is he the lost twin of my real brother? I'm so confused. Then, my thoughts were interrupted by my phone ringing.

From: Jinhwan Jerk
'Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow? Tell me incase B.I is bothering you ;)'

To: Jinhwan Jerk
'You're the one bothering me dimwit.'

From: Jinhwan Jerk
'I'm sorry babe. But I'm trying to be nice here :)'

"He's getting on my nerves." I rolled my eyes and decided to ignore his text while throwing my phone on the other side of the bed with a sigh. He just called me babe and its totally gross, like seriously ew. He should get another girl, not me.
