"Get out Li Hua!" My mom yelled as she slammed the door in my face. She was having one of hook-ups over and so she kicked me out. This has happened quite often so I had a bag full of my necessities for whenever this occurred. It had some snacks, money, a charger for my phone, a hairbrush and toothbrush and toothpaste along with headphones.

I sighed before I walked up the steps to the rooftop where I was going to be hanging out for a while before I go to the corner store to get myself something to have for dinner. I sat down with my back against the ledge of the rooftop. I then took my phone out and went on Spotify, turning on some music from my K-Pop playlist.

I was listening to music for a little before I saw the door to the rooftop open and a familiar boy walk through. This time Heeseung's face wasn't covered so I could clearly see it and I'll admit, he was a good looking guy.

He walked over to me and sat down a few feet away from me, looking over at me. "Are you good?" He asked and I just shrugged, not really knowing the answer to that myself.

"I'm okay. My mom kicked me out of the house for the night, she's having one of her hook-ups over tonight." I answered.

"So you were planning on staying on the roof?" He asked, a little smirk on his face.

"I mean, it's what I usually do." I respond with a shrug.

"What if it started raining?" He asked.

"Then I'd stay inside- in the hallway." I answered and he shook his head.

"You eat yet?" He asked and I shook my head 'no'. I watched as Heeseung stood up and held his hand out for me to take and so I did exactly that and let him pull me up off the ground. "Come, let's go get some food." He said, releasing my hand and starting to the door.

We entered the convenience store, a little bell rang to signal the workers that a costumer has entered. I headed to the fridge and grabbed a triangle Bibimbap and a green tea before I decided that was it.

"That's all your getting?" Heeseung asked and I nodded.

"It's all I can afford for right now." I answered truthfully.

He sighed, "Don't worry about that. I'll pay for your stuff." Heeseung told me and I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows, confused on why someone I'm only meeting for the second time would do such a thing. "Go get yourself a ramen, pick one out for me too." He said.

"Thank you." I say before I head to the ramen aisle and pick out a regular ramen for Heeseung, unsure on what he likes, and a chees ramen for myself.

I head to the counter where the boy was waiting and he gestures to the counter, signaling for me to place the stuff on there so I do. The cashier scans the food and Heeseung takes his card out, handing it to the cashier to use. The cashier pays and hands it back to Heeseung who puts it back in his wallet.

We then head over to the microwave they had and made our ramen, not saying much to one another as we do so. Once we both finish we grab chopsticks and head to the seating they had outside of the store.

We both sat down across from one another and started to eat. "Stay at my place for the night." Heeseung suggests and I stop my hand from shoving the ramen into my mouth with the chopsticks.

"What?" I say.

"You don't have to, I'm just being nice and besides, I don't think it'd be safe for a teenage girl to sleep out on a rooftop but whatever." He says and I put my hand out.

"No, no, no, thank you. I'll stay with you." I say and he smiles a little before slurping up some ramen. 

"Don't worry, I won't try anything." Heeseung comments and I roll my eyes before taking a bite from my triangle Bibimbap. 

"Thank you again for paying for the food." I say and he just nods before eating some more ramen.

We walk into his apartment and I look around, it was the same layout as mine of course. His place was a bit messy though but I didn't care about that, I was just thankful he let me stay with him. It was probably stupid to stay with a random man but I was desperate and technically he wasn't random, I had met him the other week so we knew each other.

Heeseung walks to his room and I stay in the living room, unsure on what to do. "Lili!" He calls out and I go to his room to see him grabbing a big T-shirt out of his drawer. "You can get changed into this." He says as he hands me the clothes he just took out. "The bathroom's on the right." He says and I nod before I head into the small hallway and enter the bathroom.

I shut the door and get changed into some of his gym shorts and the big T-shirt. I stuff my clothes into my bag and head back to his bedroom. I knock on the door and ask if I could come in before entering his room after getting a confirmation.

All I saw was his bare back, the muscles on his back flexing as he grabbed a pillow off his bed. He then turned to face me and I was met with his soft abs.

"You like what you see?" He teases as he walks past me and into his living room. 

I followed after him and into the living room, assuming that was where I was staying. Heeseung turned to look at me, "You'll stay in my bedroom." He tells me and I just thank him before I head into his room and drop my bag on the floor by his bed.

I then walk back out into the living room and he glances over at me, sitting up from where he was laying on the couch and patting the cushion next to him, "Wanna watch something with me?" He asks and I nod before I walk past him and sit next to him. "Wanna Netflix and chill?" He teasingly asks and I cover my mouth with my hand as I laugh at him. 

"I'm good." I answer back and he just laughs as he turns on Netflix and puts on a random American comedy movie. He puts on the subtitles so that we could fully understand everything and we both watch in silence.

"Don't you have school tomorrow?" Heeseung asks and I nod in response, honestly I had forgotten all about school.
