The Seventh Floor - JJK [✓]

SIX

After waking up after just five hours, I found myself in the same state. Cursing myself for the earlier events with him, embarrassment washed over me.

I knew he didn't do anything but why did he try to undress me? I thought for a few seconds and slipped on a top and dashed to the fourth floor to check on Suho.

Suho remained on his bed, while Romi sat beside him, assisting him with something. Though I debated not interrupting them, but why do I care? There is nothing between them.

I walked towards them as he smiled looking at me, Romi followed suho's gaze and she fumed, scrunching up her nose.

"You're the reason he's lying here. Were you so desperate that you didn't consider you were standing before Master? Do you think Master will spare you both?" Romi's words came out aggressive and accusatory.

Confused, I asked, "I know I didn't think, it wasn't intentional... But what do you mean he won't spare us?"

Suho chimed in, "It's nothing, YN. Come over here, sit." He gestured to me to sit on his other side, and made Romi leave the place, she left in annoyance.

"Why do you come here? Kissing me in front of him was so foolish. You should have saved that for when we were alone," he grinned, and I shot him a puzzled look, joking in this state.

"Tell me the truth, do you still have feelings for me?"he inquired, causing me to choke on air. "Who told you I had?" I asked, my sweaty fists clenched and unclenched.

"It was obvious, the way you used to look at me, but you were just a kid, so I overlooked it," he reassured, placing his hand on my uncomfortably moving fist, but I moved my hand away in an instant.

"Well then, consider it like this, you were my crush in the past, not anymore," I replied confidently, making him smile and nod. He struggled to get up, and I quickly offered support.

"I need to go back to my room. You should go," he said but I denied and walked with him to his room. We both entered. Making him lay, I made soup for him and fed him.

The weight of guilt for causing his condition like this weighed heavily on me, and I wanted to be by his side. "Suho, have you ever thought about escaping?" I asked, handing him a glass of water. He gulped before answering.

"No, in fact, I've never seen anyone attempt to escape. He's ruthless, but he doesn't harm his own people. Betrayal isn't tolerated here. This building stands as a symbol of loyalty to him.

Even if he were to kill any of us right here, right now, none of us could hold a grudge against him. I still don't understand why he brought you here. You have no connection to this world," he explained, justifying his perspective.

— It's so confusing. One moment I hate Mr. Jeon but the next moment my heart wants to live around him..

— I'm so confused right now. I feel soft towards suho but Mr. Jeon is playing with my feelings.. being no one to me.

"It's getting late.. Go back to your floor," suho alarmed as I took a glass from him placing it on the table and saw the wall clock. It was already 9:17pm..

I gulped the knot in my dry throat and ran outside where I bumped into someone. "I recognized the smell. It was him that night" I looked at the male who was apologizing to me without saying anything.

"Why you did that?" I asked. "I am sorry! I was in nee..." not letting him finish, I delivered a stinging slap to his left cheek.

"Need? Woahh! Alright, I understand that point. But would you assault someone just because you were triggered in need?" He lowered his gaze. I knew that the prevalent answer I will get in this entire building, which is NEED.
