Chapter Twenty Three 

*Hyolyn's POV*

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. 

Can dogs knock? No, Chewy is beside me... 

Groaning, I swung my legs from the bed. The oh so comfy bed. I had been asleep, what... maybe 6 or 7 hours? What time would it be now? 10pm. Great. 

The same dream came yet again. The same one I've been experiencing for months. Someone is there, in front of me, but just as I'm about to catch a glimpse of their face, they are dragged away, back into the darkness. Someone I feel I can trust. But I have no idea who they are. 

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock. 

"God. Keep your knickers on. I'm coming," I yelled, swinging my room door open and headed to the front door. Swinging that door open too, Wonwoo stood there. "Why didn't you just come in?" I raised a brow, letting him in. 

"Jagiya," he began shakily. Looking down, I noticed his hands. Why were his knuckles bruised and bloody? 

"Oppa what happened?" I worried, pulling him to the kitchen. Grabbing a towel and wetting it, I began dabbing his hands. 

"Jagiya," he repeated, meeting my eyes, stopping my hands working for a moment. "Let's go on a date!" He smiled, his mood flipping instantly. 

Boy. If you don't tell me what happened, I swear I will let Chewy attack. 

"Wonwoo, don't try to change the subject," I frowned, going back to cleaning his hands. Stopping again, he brought my hands into his, making me drop the towel. Looking back up, his face was close to mine. 

Hella close. Wow.

Silence dropping between us, his flicked his eyes down, concentrating on my lips. Gulping, he met my eyes again. 

All annoyance I just felt toward him had been vaporised. Gone. Kidnapped from my emotions. Now I was only lost in his eyes. Seeing him smile gently, his hands found my waist, pulling me closer to him. 

Just as we were about to close the space between us, the was knocking at the door again. 

Chewy began whining and barking at the door, giving it the doggy stank eye. SAME BOY SAME. 

"Where's the guitar," Wonwoo mumbled, standing up. Opening the door, Dino stood there, lookng terrified. 

"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME," he covered his face, shielding his body. Opening one eye, he cleared his throat and straightened his shirt. "Uh, I mean. No, actually I do mean please don't kill me. Jeonghan sent me." Nodding, he left back downstairs. A silent exchange happened between the two boys, leaving me completely clueless. 

"Nice try to avoid the situation earlier, very slick. But you ain't getting out of it this time. What happened?" I raised a brow, backed up with a bark from Chewy, who sat beside me. 

"I swear to god, if he tried to touch you, even looks at you funny, I don't give a shit Hyolyn, I will kill him," he looked down the stairs and then back to me. 

"Well Captain Cryptic thanks a lot that's answered all my questions," I rolled my eyes. What the hell is he talking about. 

"Your father. He's downstairs, and wants to talk to you. I swear to god-" he began, but I wasn't really listening. His words fell upon deaf ears once that one word was brought up. Father. Here. Wants to talk to me. The last tie that happened, he killed me. Literally.
