Lost In Her Eyes | Book 3 |

Chaerin's POV

I woke up and saw Hyunjin sleeping on the sofa while his head was leaning on the wall. There are fruits on the side table and a bag of mine is on the sofa as well.

Aina is not here anymore. She was here earlier when I first woke up and we talked about how she knew I was here, and about Hyunjin. She even told me that she wouldn't tell anyone if I didn't want anyone to know. She was here the whole time until I fell asleep again.

I was having trouble sleeping last night after having a drink with them at Seungmin's party. Then Felix and Aina came over to my place, we all talked so much about everything. I didn't know what to do so I drank a lot of sleeping medications prescribed to me. I am so dumb for that but fuck... I didn't know it would be this bad.

I clicked the button and my bed automatically raised the head side. I still feel dizzy and lightheaded– it was the medication that was given to me.

Hyunjin is sleeping soundly... I don't even know if it's okay to mention this but he looks handsome. I mean... It's Hwang Hyunjin. Everyone is head over heels for him. Everyone would die for him.

"Hyunjin." I called

His eyes opened slowly but as soon as he saw me, he hurriedly sat beside me, "How are you? Are you okay? Did I snore? Did I wake you up? I'm sorry–"

I started coughing.

"What the fuck. I'll call the doctor. Wait for me." he said and ran to the door then he realized I was gonna be alone, ran back to me.

"What's with you?"

"You were choking!" he said

"I coughed. I wasn't choking– Why are you so worked up? What's wrong with you?"

He rolled his eyes as he sat beside me.

"Excuse me?"

He didn't talk.

"What's wrong? Are you mad? What did I even do? I was sleeping."

He then glared at me, "Are you trying to kill yourself because of Felix?"

That question left me dumbfounded. What is he saying?

"Look, I know it's hard to move on. I know you love him so much that you can't even think of yourself but grow up. There's nothing we can do but let him marry Aina. You don't have to kill yourself." Hyunjin said and he looks so mad

"Are you seriously mad at me?"

"Yes! Do you have any problem with that?!" he sounds so done

"First of all, I don't even care if they marry each other now. I mean it will hurt me but that's normal. Second, I wasn't gonna kill myself because of Felix. Lastly, I wasn't trying to kill myself."

"Then why were you unconscious and there is a bottle of medication beside you–" Hyunjin

"I was having a hard time sleeping last night and I badly want to sleep but I can't. I drank the sleeping medication prescribed for me. I thought it wasn't working and nothing would happen if I tried a few– then I just got dizzy and blacked out."

"So you weren't trying to kill yourself?" he asked

"Did you see a lot of medication on the floor? You didn't, right? I even closed the bottle properly and I was just holding it, then I blacked out. That's why the bottle was on the floor beside me."

Hyunjin sighed.

"You're crazy. I would never kill myself for a man. Over my dead body."

He took the apple and started peeling.

"Aren't you gonna apologize for getting mad at me?"

"Do you want an apple?" he asked

"Hyunjin."

"Fine. I'm sorry. I was so worried when I saw you on the floor. Before I even saw you, I was panicking. I can't even open the door." he confessed

"Why is that?"

"I am worried." he said

I smiled and nodded.

He just peeled the apple and sliced it into small portions, then he washed the grapes and served it to me. He was also quiet as he ate the fruit beside me. I wonder if he is still worried now that he found out that I wasn't trying to kill myself.

"Chaerin." he called

I looked at him.

"You're aware that I like you, right?" he asked

I nodded.

"So, how does it feel being admired by me?" he asked and looked away

"Excuse me?"

"There are other girls who would kill just to be admired by me or even be looked at. Here you are, I'm just going crazy for you." Hyunjin confessed

I just raised my eyebrow.

He laughed, "I was kidding but... I am really curious about what your reaction was when you found out– when did you find out?"

"When your parents died. I heard you talking to them about something then you suddenly told them that you have feelings for me."

"What was your reaction?" he asked

"I panicked and kept thinking about it for days. I can't believe it. Also, you were right. Girls are killing one another for you but here you are having feelings for me."

Hyunjin nodded.

"Thank you for choosing to waste your time on me."

"You think I was wasting my time?" he asked

I nodded.

He smiled at me, "I didn't waste it– in fact, I am the happiest when I'm with you."
