Chapter 23: butterflies

------------✧♡✧-------------

I opened the front door with my key, stepping into the house. I just noticed how sweaty I was. I wouldn't be surprised if there were already sweat stains on my clothes.

Before I went upstairs to my room, I glanced out through the large glass window into our garden. Sunghoon and a girl were sitting together in the whirlpool, messing around. That's probably where all the laughs and screams that Jungwon and I heard outside the house came from.

Gosh, what would I do to get into the hot tub right now? This cooling down would possibly save my day. But of course I didn't want to interrupt my brother and his beloved in whatever they were doing.

Instead, I decided to simply take a quick shower, get something to snack on, check my suitcase for completeness and then go to sleep.

After all, I had to be reasonably fit for tomorrow. The time change in America would completely destroy my sleep rhythm anyway.

In my head, the spirits were divided as to whether I had to meet Sunghoon's girlfriend. Because on the one hand I really wanted to, but on the other hand I didn't know what was wrong with a person who decided to date my brother. She was probably just as stupid, conceited and selfish as he was.

Although, isn't it said...opposites attract?

Anyway.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body as I slipped over to my room. As I grabbed new clothes from my closet, I squinted down out the window and noticed that the hot tub was suddenly empty.

I cheered inwardly, and unceremoniously pulled out a bikini from my closet instead of my underwear.

No idea where the two had disappeared, but now the warm pool was mine.

Whether it was so smart that I had just taken a shower and now climbed back into the chlorinated water? No matter. You only live once, right?

I tied my hair in a quick messy bun, so that at least these would not still stink like chor tonight.

With a towel over my shoulders, I rushed back downstairs. Into the living room and then out into the garden.

I pulled the large glass door shut behind me when I noticed a person sitting in the pool in the reflection.

Shocked, I turned to check the reflection and spotted no one else but Heeseung sitting in there, his back half turned towards me, and he seemed distracted with his cell phone.

"Fuck.", I whispered to myself, and slowly turned around to disappear back into the house. I carefully opened the door again as quietly as I could, making sure he didn't notice me.

How was that possible, I made such a racket on the way out.

Suddenly my cell phone slipped from my hand and it bounced dully on the wooden floor. Shit! I quickly bent down to pick it up again, staring directly into Hee's eyes the next moment.

"Hyeo? How long have you been here?", he laughed and turned a little more in my direction.

"Just...Just a few seconds.". I lied and quickly wrapped the wet towel around my body.

"Were you planning to go in here too?", his gaze moved down to my bikini, which I now kept covered with the towel.

I laughed uncertainly and approached a few steps. "When I looked out of the window two minutes ago, the jacuzzi was empty, so I thought..."

"...ah yes. I had to use the bathroom, you know.", he explained and I nodded.

"Where are Sunghoon and the girl?". I looked around in wonder, since I couldn't see anyone else here in the garden, and the rest of the house was dark as well.
