I am tired by the time I get home around five in the morning. I try to make as little noise as possible, because I don't want to wake Taehun up.

As I walk through the living room, I notice something hanging off my sofa. I take a closer look to see Riki there, sound asleep. That's odd, he usually slept in Taehun's room on an air mattress.

I stand there looking at him. His legs are hanging over the arm and he has his left arm draped over the left side of his face. It is the first time I have seen him since our fight in his car. Had he been waiting for me? I sighed and walked to the linen closet and pulled out an extra blanket, draping it over him. Then I hurry to take a shower and get to bed.

As I walked back into my room after drying my hair, I jumped as I noticed Riki was no longer on the couch, but now in my bed. What the hell? Not the guy I expected to see in my room tonight. Though had I honestly expected the green wolf to come back?

I should kick him out of my bed. There is no way he was asleep before if he moved rooms that quickly, which means he is probably faking now. But I do not have the energy.

I locked my door and climbed into bed next to Riki. I turned away from him, closing my eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to him, burying his face in my neck. After the night I had I didn't realize how badly I needed to be held.

"I'm sorry about earlier." He whispered into my neck, his voice heavy with sleep.

I fell asleep quickly in the dark silence, wrapped in Riki's arms.

The next morning I woke up still wrapped in Riki's arms, but my head was on his chest and he was on his back. There was a pounding on my door.

"Mina!" Taehun yelled. "It's one o'clock in the afternoon. Are you still asleep?"

"Taehun, please stop." I yelled to my brother as I tried to sit up, but Riki's grip on me tightened, preventing me from moving.

"Are you sick?"

"No, I am fine. I will be out in a minute." I tapped on Riki's chest. "You need to let me up."

"No." He pulled me closer, tightening his arms.

"Seriously Riki, it is late. Why are you still sleeping?"

"I waited all night for you." Riki sounded annoyed as he opened his eyes, looking down at me. "Where were you?"

"I don't have to report to you. Let go of me." I said, trying to push away from him again.

"You clung to me the entire time you were sleeping and you want me to let go of you now?"

"Why were you waiting on me anyway?"

"I felt bad about the other night. I shouldn't have lost my temper like that."

"Okay..." I said, pushing up again, this time he let go of me. "I will get Taehun out of the apartment. You need to go."

"Are we not going to talk about the fact that we slept together?" Riki leaned up on his elbows looking at me as I climbed out of bed.

"Don't say it like that."

"You have a bruise on your arm." Riki pointed out and I looked. It is right below my wrist on my left arm. It must have been from last night when I ran into those mirrors.

"Yeah, I ran into a mirror." I said, rubbing it and then shook my head. "Don't ask."

"A mirror?"

"I told you not to ask." I replied, taking out an outfit from my closet. I turned around to face Riki. "Turn over, put your head in the pillow, and do not look. I need to change."

Instead of listening to me, Riki got out of bed and walked over to me, stepping behind me. His hands go to the hem of my pajama shirt, pulling it up slightly as his lips are next to my ear.

"I can help you."

"I'm a big girl. I can dress myself." I said, but I don't move as he lifts my top up and over my head, throwing it to the floor.

His hands run up my sides, stopping when he gets to my bra. I usually don't wear a bra to bed, but he was here last night.

"I didn't mean helping you get dressed." He said, one of his hands pulling me back against his hard on.

"Riki..."

"Mina, are you up yet?" Taehun yelled again and Riki sighed behind me, letting me go.

"Maybe tonight?" He asks, falling back onto my bed. What the hell was he thinking?

"No, Riki."

"Not even to cuddle like last night?"

"Is this some kind of bet with your friends? See if you can hookup with Taehun's sister?"

"What? No, of course not." Riki rolled his eyes. "I told you before, I have felt like this for years. I decided to act on it now."

I pulled on my clothing, not caring if he was staring now.

"Wait for us to leave and then get out of here." I shook my head. "I don't know what I am going to say if he sees your Jeep."

Taehun and I go to lunch. When asked why I slept so late I told him I was out late with Jake. Truth is I haven't seen Jake since the night he was at the apartment.

"Mina," Jay said, smiling as he walked up to our table.

"Hey, Jay." I said. "What are you doing here?"

"Picking up some party platters for my folks. They are having a party tonight." He explained and looked at Taehun.

"Oh, this is my brother, Taehun." I wiped my hands with a napkin. "Tae, this is my lab partner, Jay."

"Nice to meet you." Taehun nodded.

"Listen, my friend is having a party later, if you want to stop by." Jay turned back to me. "I can text you the address. Both of you should come."

"Didn't you just say your parents had the party?" Taehun narrowed his eyes.

"They do. I try to stay away from their business stuff. At least until I am out of school." He laughed.

"It's Saturday night. I can grab Sunoo and we can go." I nodded. I had asked not to be scheduled at the cafe for the entire weekend, too.

"Go where?" Riki was standing behind Jay now, looking down at him. "Why is he here?"

"He's my sister's lab partner." Taehun said, sliding over in the booth to make room for Riki. "They are going to some party tonight?"

"Together?"

"No."Jay shook his head. "Just a party my friend is having. All are welcome."

"Jay! I am not carrying all of these by myself!" A voice called from the counter and we looked to see Sunghoon.

"You know my neighbor?" I asked, shocked.

"Is he your neighbor?" Jay shook his head. "I didn't know that. I might have to hang out at his place a bit more."

"Go get your food." Riki waved him off and Jay nodded at me.

"You are rude." I scolded Riki.

"We are going to a party tonight then?" Riki asked, grabbing Taehun's drink and taking a drink.
