Angel of Sanctuary [Block B]

Chapter 11

•• Hyorin ••

I stared at U-Kwon awkwardly as he sipped gingerly on his tea. "Hyorin, what are you thinking?" he asked me suddenly.

"Wha-? N- Nothing, I'm thinking nothing! Why do you ask?" I stammered in a nervous voice.

He shrugged and sat back in the couch. His gaze connected with mine and I shivered. He smirked and then said, "You were staring at me for so long, I thought you were just staring for fun."

"Aigoo~ I would never," I grumbled, sipping on my tea. "Say, U-Kwon?" He nodded for me to continue and I pursed my lips. "Could you maybe act as a model for me?"

"Hmmm? A model?" he inquired curiously.

I nodded and explained, "You would just be the one to try on new clothes I design. Could you do that for me? It would be a big help. Normally I would use Jinyong..." My words caught in my throat and he smiled softly and nodded.

"Of course I'll help you Hyorin. I am your Guardian Angel after all." I smiled and nodded while I took another sip of my tea. "So, how about that nap?" he joked with a grin. I nodded and stood, accepting his empty tea cup and dumping them in the sink.

"I'm still waiting for those three to send a note," I grumbled with a frown as I sat back down on one end of the couch.

"Daejung, Kwangsu, and Jinyong?" he asked me curiously. I nodded and he sighed lightly. "Don't worry. They're enjoying their military training."

"I highly doubt," I laughed with a smile, resting my head on the arm of the couch. "I'll set an alarm for myself to go off at 9:45 so that I can get ready for Siyoung's stupid clubbing..."

U-Kwon smiled softly at me from the other end of the couch. "Sleep well!"

"Mmhmm, you too," I agreed with a grin. I got to my feet and grabbed the huge blanket off of the love seat. Tossing it over myself, I flicked out the other end so that it fell over U-Kwon.

He stared at me and then snuggled up under the blanket with a wide smile, his eyes shut. He looked adorable and then cooed, "Thank you Hyorin~" I was quiet and then scrunched under my own end of the blanket with a sigh. My eyes dropped shut and my brain was swimming.

BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEE-!

I slammed my hand on my phone, shutting off the annoying alarm sound before stretching and sitting up. My shopping bag was still thrown on the floor and U-Kwon was still curled up under the blanket on the opposite end of the couch. I crawled off of the couch and dragged myself over to the bag before taking it to my room.

I changed into the sparkling aqua dress and cringed again at the short length. Sighing, I sat down in front of Jinyong's vanity, yes Jinyong's, and began putting on some light makeup. "You look perfect without the makeup."

I whirled around and looked at U-Kwon. He had an unreadable expression on his face as he stared at me and I felt my face becoming warm. "Really now? I doubt that, I'm not even close to being perfect," I giggled.

He sat down on my bed with an amused smile as I finished applying my makeup and lightly curled my hair. "You're right... You're way beyond being perfect..." he murmured. I smiled to myself as I checked the clock.

"U-Kwon, do you want me to make you something to eat?" I offered. "I still have another ten or so minutes before I have to go. Plus, knowing Siyoung, she'll be late as usual."

He gave a shake of his head as he watched me put on my heels. I sighed as I stared at the cold darkness of the outside world. "Are you sure you won't freeze to death?" he teased, sticking out his tongue with a smirk.
