Y/n's pov:

As I entered the house I went to get kitchen to get some water, I was surprised that Hyunjin was already home. He look mad and slightly concerned.

"Why did you go to work."

"Huh... What do you mean...?"

"You went to work with a head injury. Are you stupid?"

"Excuse me-"

"I told you to stay home and rest. Why didn't you listen to me?"

"I had to!"

"No you didn't. We both do the same thing for a living, your firm should know better."

I sighed knowing he was right, but at the same time I can't loose another case. Paparazzi was already out for me when I lost one, much less two. But I can't tell him that.

"Whatever..."

"Just listen to me next time."

It felt quite good to know he cared for me, a little.

"I'll go to my room now.. I'm tired."

He just hummed, and I went to my room upstairs.

Hyunjin's pov:

I was mad that Y/n went to work instead of staying home like I told her to, I don't see why she needs to work honestly. I mean, she's making her own money but since we're eventually going to get married shouldn't I maintain her?

I should right?

She still doesn't like me, I believe. It's hard knowing he doesn't like me while, I'm in love with her. I want to tell her how I feel so bad, but I know she'll reject me.

The only reason I agreed to this marriage is because I wanted to get close to her. When we went out with her friends I thought we would grow some kind of bond, but I was wrong.

It felt like I made her dislike me more.

I watched her walk up the stairs, thinking if they'll ever be a day I get to call her "my woman" in front of other people, or even get to call her "babe" or "baby" ever in my life.

I feel hopelessly in love, I'll try my best to care for her. If only she let me..

*time skip to the next day.*

Y/n already left for the day, I know because she isn't here. I already sent in my resignation letter, which she doesn't know about and she probably doesn't care. I got a notification, I check it. It was from Y/n.

The truth is, I do remember what I was going to talk to her about

The truth is, I do remember what I was going to talk to her about.

I wanted to tell how how I felt, how much I love her and how much I care for her, how much I enjoy seeing her smile and laugh. Especially how much I enjoyed her company...

I feel like she's the only girl I can't express my feelings to. She's making it hard for me to do the bare minimum when it comes to showing her how I feel.

Am I really this hopeless...

*time skip*
Y/n's pov:

When I came come, the house was offly quiet. I went to the living and saw Hyunjin sleeping in the coach, I had no idea why he wasn't at work since he usually worked late hours..

He looked very hot yet he was covered with a blanket. I went up to him and placed my hand on his forehead, it was warm so I knew he wasn't feeling well.

I didn't want to wake him up, but I also didn't want him to suffer..

I decided to go get medicine for him. He's obviously sick and if I asked him what's wrong he'll for sure not tell me.

*time skip*

When I got back with the medicine he was already awake.

"Y/n...? Your home already.."

"Yeah.. I got this for you."

I gave him the bag. *"I hope this doesn't get awkward..."*

"Oh.. Medicine?"

"Uhm, yeah. You felt like you had a fever so I got some.. For you."

"Oh.. Thank you."
He smiled warmly at me.

When he smiled at me, my heart suddenly started to beat fast. He's the only guy that does the bare minimum to make me feel this way.

I just want to get out of here before I embarrass myself.

"Well... Goodnight! See you in the morning."

"Oh.. Yeah. Goodnight."

After I took a shower, I got a towel and carefully tried to dry my hair. My injury still hurts, a lot, but it's whatever. I can't just give up on this case just like that, it means too much, but yet again I'm forcing myself..

It took a while to dry my hair, while drying it all I could think of was his smile, his voice and just that moment..

Was I actually starting to like this guy, well I already admitted to... What the hell.

Maybe this is.. More than just "like"...
