Both of them stood so fast.
"Wait, why are we panicking?" he asked. "Because we are supposed to look like a married couple who sleep in the same room" Haneul pulled his sleeves to lead him to his room.
"Put your things aside a bit I'll bring my things over" she instructed and ran to her room.
Jongseong did what she instructed without a word. He put his things aside to give her space. She came into his room a moment later with her pillow and other things.
"Sorry for barging into your room" she threw her stuff onto his bed. "Wait this is cute" he picked up her bunny plushie. She quickly snatched it back. "You don't touch Mr. Fuzzy"
He burst into laughter. "Alright I'll make sure not to touch your bunny"
She ignored him and proceeded to move her things.
The doorbell rang and immediately both of them turned towards the main door with wide eyes.
"Everything is in place right?" she looked around the perimeter to make sure there was no sign of them not sharing a room. "Okay nice"
"I'm opening the door" Jongseong went to the main door. She rushed to stand beside him. "Remember we're husband and wife"
"Know that" he opened the door to reveal Hyunjae who walked through the outdoor hallway towards them. With him was a luggage.
"Oppa" she called her brother with a smile.
"Yo" Hyunjae fist bumped her. He looked a bit tired. "Hi, hyung" Jongseong greeted him. He helped carry his bag.
"I'm so sorry for coming in on short notice. I need to get to the airport in a hurry tomorrow morning" Hyunjae said.
"It's okay, hyung" Jongseong replied. "You look tired. You okay?"
"Not really, I'm too busy lately. You know, just tired" Hyunjae mustered a smile.
"Have you eaten your dinner?" Haneul held his arms. Hyunjae smiled "But it's too late in the night to eat dinner"
"I don't want you to get sick, oppa. I know you're always busy but please don't skip your meal"
"Why do you have to sound like Mom" he smirked.
"Come let's eat. We still have our dinner" Jongseong offered.
Jongseong and Haneul watched as Hyunjae silently enjoyed his small dinner. He suddenly smiled at both of them that made both of them puzzled.
"I'm happy to have my little brother and sister with me"
"Oppa" she smirked.
"Anyway, your house is huge" Hyunjae said. "Thank you for taking care of my sister"
"Don't mention it. I'm her husband anyway" Jongseong replied.
"We even have a pool, oppa" she was excited, which made him laugh.
"Haneul is always excited about pools yet she cannot swim at all" Hyunjae exposed her. "But I can still stand in there" she pouted that made both the males chuckle.
"I should take note whenever hyung exposes about her so I can roast her later" Jongseong added. "I'll gladly help you with that" the other male replied.
"It's not fair, both of you ganging up on me!"
Haneul helped Hyunjae to his room. Haneul then went inside Jongseong's room.
"Hey" he greeted her.
"So..." she scratched the back of her neck. "We're sleeping...together?"
"Don't worry" Jongseong threw the huge bolster at the center of the bed. "See? You take that side, I'm taking this side"
Haneul still stared at him, looking skeptical. Jongseong slid himself into his blanket. "Don't worry I won't touch you"
Haneul paused for a bit. Then nodded. "It's just for a night anyway" she went into the bathroom before going to bed.
She laid in her blanket, her Mr. Fuzzy in her embrace. She looked around the dimly lighted room. 'This place is full of his scent'
"The room is not too bright for you right? I cannot sleep in complete darkness" he suddenly asked, which made Haneul turn to her side to face him. In the dimly lighted room, he looked a tad different. His hair was messed up, strands falling on his forehead. Few top buttons of his pajama were left unbutton revealing his chest, she could clearly see how lean he is.
"No it's just nice" her voice was low. She quickly avoided his gaze and turned to face the ceiling. He stared at her. Her hair was loose, strands fallen over her forehead. In a way, he found her ethereal. The night lamp illuminates her body giving her a soft glow. He felt his heart pounding. But he quickly turned to face the other side. "Good night, Haneul"
"Good night, Jongseong" she replied.
Just a few moments later, he heard a soft snore. Jongseong turned to her. "Haneul?" he whispered but she didn't reply, indicating she was already asleep.
"How does she do that?" he smirked. He stared at her for a long time. She looked calm while sleeping. A wave of calmness washed over him making him feel comfortable in her presence. He sighed and closed his eyes.
The next morning, Jongseong and Haneul were sending Hyunjae to the main door.
"Thank you for letting me stay for the night" Hyunjae bowed and made both of them bow in reply.
"Don't skip your meal, oppa. Take care of yourself more" Haneul said. There was a hint of concern in her voice.
Hyunjae smirked and ruffled her head. "I'll try my best to do that"
"Come let me send you to the airport" Haneul took the car key near her.
"Great. And I need to have a few words with you" Hyunjae's statement made both of them look at each other.
"Hyung, you sound serious. Is everything alright?" Jongseong asked.
"You two..." Hyunjae looked at both of them, one after another. "Don't sleep together right?"
Jongseong and Haneul couldn't meet his eyes. Hyunjae sighed.
"We're sorry" Haneul said. Hyunjae sighed. "I know there's a reason for you two to do this"
"I...we can explain" Jongseong began. "No it's okay" Hyunjae mustered a smile. He patted his shoulder.
"Haneul, you send me to the airport and explain to me... honestly" he instructed. "Alright" her voice was low.
"See you two later. Thank you for letting me stay" Hyunjae said. Haneul glanced at Jongseong as she followed her brother out the hallway. Jongseong nodded with a small smile to encourage her. She replied with a smile and nodded.
