"Jungwon?" I look at his dreaded face "Aeri..." He hugs me tightly and I hug him back despite being rather confused with his sudden appearance

"Jungwon what are you doing here?" I try to pull away from the hug but he holds me tighter "I'm sorry"

"Jungwon" I try to look back at Riki but he holds me tight not allowing me to move an inch and just then I heard his footsteps walking away and in the matter of seconds it was just Jungwon and I, hugging, in the empty corridor.

A few minutes passed by and Jungwon still doesn't let me go "Jungwon what if someone sees us? They will get the wrong idea" He shook his head

"I don't care Aeri, I just want to be close to you" Why? Why do you have to be so confusing Jungwon?! first you don't want me to have physical contact with you and now you want to be close to me?

"Jungwon let me go" I push him away and he pulls out of the hug a frown visible on his face  "Why are you pushing me away Aer? Don't you love me?" His eyes were becoming teary "No Jungwon—"

"I hurt you didn't I?" He looked at the palm of his hands "No Jungwon you didn't hurt me I promise" I try to take his hand in mine but I kept still

"Then touch me, stop holding back..." He walked closer to me "I want to feel your warm touch Aer" He put his hands on my lower back and pulled me to himself

"Please Aer don't push me away if you love me, it hurts my feelings" He hugged me again and rested his head on my shoulder

I couldn't even form a proper sentence all of this is happening way too fast for me to acknowledge "Why aren't you saying anything?" He pulled away and looked at me, upset once again

"I won't push you away, I'm sorry" I wrap my arms around his waist "Thank you Aeri" He rested his head on my shoulder

"You're welcome Jungwon..." I let out a sigh

He pulled away form the hug looking into my eyes sincerely "Call me Wonie" I laugh "Alright Wonie" He smiled

"It's late now you should go sleep" I looked at him "Alright goodnight Aer" He waved goodbye as he entered the elevator

I waved goodbye as well and walked to my room, I flopped on my bed

What was that all about? I touch the side of my head as I felt a slight headache, honestly today has been too much for someone who is psychiatrist patient.

First the little girl Yuna's words kept playing in my head then Mrs. Chu strange behavior, later on Riki's...confession? And now Jungwon hugging me and saying he wants to be close to me despite hating physical contact.

I hide myself under my blanket and kept on thinking about everything that has happened today until I feel asleep.

I placed my breakfast tray on the table and sat down admiring the view, despite the fact that it was almost winter the weather was fair and sunny, just how I like it.
