Seventeen: Unspoken Feelings

Chapter One: Weird

"JI SOOYAH, are you not coming?" I asked. I went to his room to check on him. "Yah, are you not getting up?!"

"Just go first. I'm still sleepy," he said as he covered himself with his blanket.

I jumped in his bed and tried to shake him a bit to get his senses. "Get up! You'll be late in school!" I got annoyed when he shoved me, so, I stood up and pull his blanket, for him to feel the cold. I got no response. "You're not getting up, huh?"

I turned off the heater and opened the window. I can already feel the chill. I covered myself with Ji Soo's blanket. I stopped for a second when I smelled his perfume on it. It's a sweet smell yet still manly scent.

"Hyung, why it's so cold? I can't feel my body anymore," he said. Instead of opening his eyes, he just grabbed his pillow and hugged it so tight. "Ah. A little better."

"Aigoo," I stressed out. I massaged my neck as I felt my blood pressure is getting high. "If you don't want to go to school, just say it. I'm tired of waking you up every damn morning."

I turned on the heater and closed the window. "You're not really getting up?" I asked one last time. I just shook my head when he just continue to ignore me. "Arasso. Just sleep," I whispered as I covered him again with his blanket. "I'm going."

I'm already on the door when he called me.

"Hyung."

"Wae? I'm going to be late," I answered. I looked at him. He's staring at me. "Waeyo? Is there something wrong?"

"Aniyo. I just realized that you're too pretty to be a man," he said and laughed.

"Babo." I grabbed my bag and looked at him. "If you don't want to be late, get up now. I'm going."

"Wait! Why are you so early?"

"I still have some research that needs to be done. I'll go to the library."

I startled when I felt his arms around my waist. "Take care. I'll see you later," he said sweetly.

"Mwoya? What are you doing?" I asked as I shoved away his arms around my body.

"Wae? I just hugged you. Is that wrong?" he asked half sleep. "I thought you're going to be late? Why are you still here?" he asked and mischievously smiled.

I didn't answer and just storm my way out. I should really not wake him up anymore. Every morning it gets really weird. Yesterday, he just stared at me while I'm preparing breakfast, and now he hugged me. Is that even normal?!

"JEONG HANIE, what are you looking at?"

I took a deep breath and ignored Lime sunbaenim.

"Yah, why are you ignoring me?" she childishly asked. She hooked her arms around mine. "Let's grab a coffee."

"Sunbaenim, I need to finish this," I showed her my paper, "I need to pass this later in my first period."

She pouted. "Arasso. I'll just help you," she volunteered and smiled.

I sighed. "Sunbaenim, the last time you helped me, I redo everything."

She bit her lips and her eyes looked like a flood tears will fall down.

I took a deep sigh. "Arasso, just highlight everything in this list. Don't do any other things, ara?"

"Yah! Why are you talking informally to me? I'm your sunbaenim," she reminded me.

"Mianhaeyo, sunbaenim," I apologized politely and faked a smile.

She smiled back and did what I asked her to do. She's older than me but acts way younger than me.

After of few minutes of writing I stretched my arms and yawn a little. I also stretched my heads and lift them side to side. I yawned again and when I opened my eyes I startled to see Ji Soo smiling not far away from me. I gave a sign to join me but he just shook his head.

"What's his problem?" I annoyingly asked.
