"Thank you! Come again." I say my goodbye greeting to the last customer for today.
I am now working part time job at the convenience store to support my studies' fee. My family is in Busan and I came to Seoul right after I was offered to study in Seoul's University.
I was about to pack my things when suddenly my phone's ringing. I smiled, its Hanbin❤. But, it is kinda weird because we normally contact each other on weekends. Study is our priority though(oh, really? lol).
"Yes, love." I said, excited.
"Uhm, Hyunyoung ah. I'm so sorry to disturb you. But my sister isn't feeling really well. Can you come? Our parent is not at home right now." I can hear his voice shaking. He must be dead worried.
"Really? I'm getting off work now. Wait for me then." I quickly take my things off and rush to the nearest bus stop. I am lucky that the bus is already there when I arrived.
As soon as I reach his home, I ring the apartment's bell. Hanbin rushingly open the door and give me a quick peck on the cheek. He does not seems well either. I guess he must be feeling bad about calling me here at this hour.
"What's wrong with Hanbyul?" I said, entering Hanbyul's room. She is covered in layers of blanket and her face getting redder.
I reach for her forehead. She have a fever.
I looked up to Hanbin. "Why don't you bring her to the hospital?"
"You know Hanbyul really hate hospital, right? I have persuaded her so many times but what can I do, she protested so many times too." Hanbin answers, pursing his lips.
"Ah, right. Can you please get me a bowl of water and a clean towel? Ehhh, wait! Have she eaten the medicine?"
"Uhm, no. She doesn't even want to eat her meal. I dont know what to do. That's why I called you here." He replies, kind of guilty.
"Oh, it's okay then. I'll cook her some porridge after this."
Hanbin get out and takes the things I asked for him to. I am relieved that Hanbyul's fever is still at the normal level.
I look at her face. She looks rather pitiful in this kind of state. Hanbin's parent rarely stayed at home because of their work so she mostly spends her time with Hanbin. I am glad that she owns a loving brother like him.
Soon as I am done treating Hanbyul, I walk up to the kitchen to cook her some food. I am already familiar with this house because I come here every weekend to spend my time with Hanbyul, and Hanbin too, of course.
Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands sneak around my waist. I smiled. Aish, this naughty guy.
"Thank you for coming though it's already late." He said, whispering close to my ear.
"It's nothing. I miss Hanbyul anyway."
"Only Hanbyul? What about me?" He replies, frowning.
"Why? What about you?" I said, teasing him.
"Don't you miss me too? I miss you so much."
"I miss you so much too."
He then pulls me, making us face each other.
"Do you want to sleepover? It's already late. I dont think there's any bus left..." Hanbin said, holding my hand.
"I'll sleep in Hanbyul's room then. You can just prepare a pillow for me." I said, backing him and continue cooking.
"If you sleep with Hanbyul then with whom am I going to sleep tonight..." Hanbin said, whispering. I am pretty sure he sounds disappointed.
"You have always slept alone anyway before this." I replied. Tch, lame tactic.
After I have done cooking, I take the porridge and wakes Hanbyul up. I fed her some and helps her to eat the medicine. Good that she's taking it all well.
Hanbin comes in the room, with a comforter and two pillows on his hand. I furrow my eyebrows. "Hanbin?"
"Yeah?" He said, now casually adjusting the comforter and pillows. He walks outside and appears again with a blanket.
Uh, oh. No way...
"What are you waiting for? Sleep." Hanbin said again, patting on the comforter beside him.
"What are you doing here.. Go and sleep in your room..." I said, trying not to be obvious. He is not saying he want to sleep beside me, right..
"My sister is sick. I cant just leave her with a stranger here." He replied, his body is already comfortably lying down with his eyes closed.
I calm myself, and lie down, a bit far from him. This is not what I expected.
"What do you mean by stranger? I am the one who should be worried about leaving her with someone who doesnt even know how to handle sick child." I sneered.
"I dont need to. My future wife is already a doctor-to-be. She can take cares of me and our children later."
Hanbin suddenly comes closer to me. He wraps his arm around my waist and look at me. We are so close together I can feel its burning hot here.
I cant help but to smile again. He is getting closer and closer. I quickly turn around, lying on my back. I close my eyes tightly, hoping him to get to his sleep position back. To my surprised, Hanbin hugs me even tighter and give a peck on my cheek.
"Goodnight, Hanbin."
"Goodnight too, dear. I love you."
I slightly get up from my position and kiss Hanbin on his lips real quick. I hide into our shared blanket and pretend to sleep.
I heard Hanbin chuckles. Oh gosh, what am I doing? This is so embarassing.
"I love you so much my love. Let's continue the rest later, okay?"
"Shush, there's a kid sleeping over there. Go to sleep. I love you more."
