The thing that woke me up once again was something being pressed to my lips, just between where they parted from one another. Immediately making my eyes open to see Jungwon sitting beside me, a small smile resting on his face.

"Come on... I was through all the boxes to find a knife to cut the apple with," Jungwon urged, making me realize it was a slice of apple I was getting pressed against my mouth.

I hummed and just opened my mouth, getting the apple shoved in my mouth before I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes, whilst chewing on the apple.

"How are we feeling today?" Jungwon questioned and looked at me with big eyes once I opened my eyes again.

"Like I really wanna go home and sleep in a comfortable bed," I muttered and brushed my hair out of my face, a small laugh escaping Jungwon, "what?"

"You just look really cute when you've just woken up," he excused, making me hum and just nod at him.

"Eat a bit of the apple and then we'll continue our small adventure," Jungwon stated, making me nod and grab the box he pushed towards me.

"You got some too, right?" I questioned him and he nodded at me.

"I took the pear," he waved it off.

"Promise?" I questioned and he nodded once more, making me grab one of the apple slices in the box, "so what's the plan today?"

"I don't know... some more walking and hopefully finding the solution... we've been in here for long," he pointed out and I just nodded.

"I lost count," I agreed with him, making him hum at me.

I quietly sat and ate my apples, being able to feel Jungwon just sit and stare at me. As I grabbed the last slice of apple I glanced up at Jungwon. He was just sitting and smiling softly at me.

"What?" I mumbled as I continued chewing on my apple.

"Nothing... I'm just admiring you," he excused, making me let out a small snort.

"Of all times and places you could do that, I can assure you that there are much better times and places you could do that," I pointed out to him and he simply shrugged.

"Eh... I like the way you look with messy hair, barely open eyes, and the heaviest bags under your eyes," he excused a mocking smile growing on his face.

"Shut up," I muttered and softly nudged his shoulder. Not actually having any strength to put more force into my nudge.

"Why? I just think you're pretty and admirable all the time," he excused with a small laugh making me sigh at him.

As I finished eating my apple Jungwon grabbed the box with fruits in it and stood up, extending his hand towards me. I hesitantly placed my hand in his and he easily pulled me up on my feet.

"How are you so full of energy today?" I complained to him.

"I just am," he shrugged, "can you stand on your feet with no problem?" he questioned and I just nodded at him, "are you sure?" he continued sending me a look that just told me he didn't exactly believe me.

"I can, believe me," I assured him and he just slowly nodded at me, "so... we continue once again?"

"Well... that's really the only thing we can do, isn't it?" Jungwon questioned and I just nodded at him.

He smiled widely at me before walking over and unlocking the door, looking both ways in the hallway before sticking his arm out behind him. I smiled softly and went over and grabbed onto his hand, making him immediately intertwine our fingers once again.

I quietly followed after Jungwon down the hallway where we took another turn to walk further away from the staircase, I had gotten sent up the first night. I didn't say much throughout the walk, I just quietly walked beside Jungwon, not completely awake from my morning daze, yet.

"Are you okay?" Jungwon questioned and looked over to me.

"Huh?" I turned my head and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Are you okay? You look like a zombie walking around," Jungwon stated and I just nodded, waving it off with a simple gesture of my hand, "Ji, I'm serious."

"And so am I," I retorted at him.

"Come on... you look like you're not really there," he said and tapped my forehead.

I let out a small sigh before looking down at the ground, sucking in a deep breath before forcing a wide smile on my face, snapping my head up to look at him once again.

"Well, what are we waiting for my little taekwondo boy? Let's go on an adventure!" I exclaimed in an overexaggerated manner before running a few steps down the hallway and doing a happy jump, turning around to see Jungwon just staring at me.

"You're absolutely insane," Jungwon laughed loudly before running up to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pressing a kiss to my forehead before continuing to pull me down the hallway, "don't act like you're completely hyped... it was not what I asked for. I asked if you were home there," he stated and tapped my head once again.

"At the moment... I'm not even sure... I'm really tired. I could go for some more sleep to be honest," I started making him let out a small laugh.

"You just need to wake up a bit more," he shrugged and pulled his arm away from my shoulders, grabbing my hand once again.

We continued to walk in silence, Jungwon once in a while making his usual weird sounds. But other than that it was completely silent

As we continued walking I abruptly stopped outside a door, making Jungwon stop up and glance back at me from a few steps in front of me.

"What?" Jungwon questioned.

"I think we should go in there," I excused and pointed to a pair of big double doors to my left.

"You sure?" Jungwon questioned and I nodded, making him slowly walk back to my side and look up at the doors, "I guess... here goes nothing," he shrugged and pushed the doors open.

I grinned widely at the sight in front of us meanwhile Jungwon just let out a small gasp of shock.

"You're brilliant Ji," Jungwon muttered, making me just casually shrug at him.

"It's just what I do," I excused, "now... I believe the answer to our small little problem lies in there."

"I think you're right..."
