Sohyun Pov

How long have I been asleep? I was in the basement, forgot to eat, forgot the time, and I forgot where my keys were. But why do I feel wet on my forehead? Is the basement wall leaking? Or is it a strange liquid? But it's cold. Why... is the ceiling white? Am I dead? I can hear some people's voices, it seems like I'm really dead? Because I've been in the basement for too long.

"Sohyun..." yeah that's my name.

"Park Sohyun..." that's my name.

"Are you awake?" awake? So I'm not dead?

"Handong, She's awake!!!" Handong? Am I at Xinyu's house?

"Sohyun... thank God you're awake" Xinyu...

"Hey..."

"Don't talk. Just stay, okay? I'll bring you water" then Xinyu left.

It turns out I'm not dead. I'm at Xinyu's house. But how did she find me? Xinyu is indeed strange.

"What do you feel?" Handong asked after replacing the wet cloth on my forehead.

"Weak? How long have I been unconscious?"

"I don't know. They found you on March 27th, today is March 28th" that's right... I've been sleeping in the basement since March 26th night. My phone is dead, so I don't know the date.

"I'll prepare some food" who is 'they' she meant?

"Handong..." she turned her head with a questioning face.

"Who are 'they'?"

"Xinyu and Ning - Ning" I wasn't a bit surprised when I heard Xinyu's name because she was indeed strange. But how did the two of them know my house?

"But Xinyu found you first. So in theory, Xinyu found you," Ning-Ning said from the doorway while bringing food.

"I want to talk to you, but now is not the right time. Just rest, okay?"

"Where is Xinyu?"

"She's at school. Handong and I will take care of you"

"Sorry to bother you" I could see Ning-Ning shaking her head and leaving Xinyu's room with Handong.

Again, I slept in Xinyu's room, but this time I was alone. Many questions filled my head. Starting from the strangest, how did Xinyu know I was there, to what about my family's condition. I was indeed harmed by them, but I still cared about them.

"Maybe it's better to sleep"

Xinyu Pov

I'VE FOUND SOHYUN!! there's no way I'm going to say that in class? They were already very panicked to find Sohyun and I met her at her house, in a bad condition. The fact that her family was a criminal, made me NOT say that.

"I'm sure they will ask again. They've been asking me since yesterday. Dahyun and Seoyeon especially"

Seeing her limp body that I managed to save, managed to break my heart. I know I've only been her friend for 2 months, but I'm already that worried about her. As if I've known her for a long time.

"Park Sohyun!!" I approached her to find out if she was still alive or not and it turned out that her heartbeat was still normal. Nothing strange happened to her. There were no injection marks or that familiar scent from her. As if she was just asleep, but her body was a bit hot.

"She has a fever" said Ning-Ning while carrying Sohyun in her arms. I looked around and I saw a key buried among several boxes. After I tried it, it turned out that this key matched the keyhole of the door leading to this room.

"Either she locked it from the inside, or it was locked from the outside but she forgot to hold the spare" Ning - Ning nodded at the sentence I gave. Since then, Sohyun did not wake up even though I had positioned her in a comfortable place.

I didn't sleep all night just to make sure Sohyun was okay. Handong said she was okay, but I was still worried.

"Hurry up and wake up. I'm waiting here"

"And now I'm very sleepy because I didn't sleep at all" I said while laying my head on Nien's shoulder.

"You didn't sleep?" I just nodded and closed my eyes. I couldn't sleep in this very noisy classroom. I understood what Sohyun felt every time I talked when she wanted to sleep.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"Going all out watching Drama" was clearly a lie.

"you and your habit"

I tried to calm myself down so I could sleep, even if it was only for 5 minutes. It was good that I stayed up late because I could make sure Sohyun was okay. Seeing her sleeping figure, made me realize that she was indeed very beautiful. Smart, beautiful too.

"Maybe I like her"

"Who?" I just kept quiet and didn't answer Nien's question.

"Sohyun didn't come again huh?"

"Maybe she'll come tomorrow. Hopefully" I said to Seoyeon who asked me earlier.

"Where is that loner Park? she didn't show her self for the first time" I just chuckled because they didn't know that Sohyun had returned and was now sleeping in my room.

During the lesson, my thoughts turned to Park Sohyun many times. Has she gotten better? Has she eaten? Can she smile again? I thought about all that until I really wanted to go home early.

"Oh Sohyun replied to my chat" said Seoyeon happily and managed to lure the others to approach Seoyeon. Maybe they were that excited about Sohyun that they missed her so much when she disappeared.

"Sohyun has a lot of fans, huh?" I asked Nien, who only nodded.

"There are also a lot from the next class. But Sohyun is the one who keeps to herself" I agreed with her statement because it was true.

"But maybe now she's not as closed off as before" I said when I felt a notification come in on my phone and it turned out to be from Sohyun.

Sohyun-hyun <3

Thank you

I'll wait you home

okay?

dare i say that her face was very red when she sent that chat.

You're welcome

You better take a rest

There was no reply from her, she just read it. I think Sohyun is very cute. Even with her cold face, she is actually very adorable. I really like all the attitudes she gives. Whoever becomes her lover will be very lucky to get Sohyun.

"she can play guitar, smart, pretty, cute, what's lacking?" thinking about it just makes me sad. I don't know why, but I feel sad.

There is a new message from Sohyun that has just been sent. I'm actually lazy to read it because I'm still thinking about that sad thing. But seeing the notification, makes me happy again.

Sohyun-hyun <3

我爱你

"NIEN PLEASE HIT ME!" I probably surprised her so she hit me so hard.

"IT HURT!"

"YOU ASKED FOR IT! NOW WHY ARE YOU MAD?!" I felt pain. This isn't a dream, right? This isn't a dream. Right?

"What's wrong with you? You've been looking at your phone while smiling. Do you have a boyfriend? or maybe girlfriend?"

"how in the world you can say like that"

"well... you looks like you could have a girlfriend than a boyfriend"

"you have your point there. no, but I like someone"
