Chapter 15: Closer Part 1

[Changkyun's POV]

I woke up to the sound of vibration my phone made against the wooden side table. I was about to get my phone to answer the call but something felt weird with my hand. I looked at it to see what happened.

*tug-tug... tug-tug... tug-tug...*

He had his head leaning on the side of the bed. He fell asleep again. I tried to move my hands slowly so he won't wake up but I failed. He slowly held his head up and yawned before looking at me.

"Oh? You're awake now."

He smiled at me. I nodded back as answer.

He smiled.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

*tug-tug... tug-tug... tug-tug...*

He tightened his grip on my hand before letting it go.

My fingers fit exactly to the spaces between his.

He stood up and carried the tray out of the room with the empty cup of ramen on it. I got myself up and went to bathroom to wash my face. When went I out, he was already there, sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for me.

"Are you good?"

I asked him, pointing at his thighs. I know it hurts a lot since the cuts were deep.

"It stings but overall its fine."

"I'm going home now."

I said, taking my phone from the side table and kept it in my pocket.

"Can I walk you home?"

"No. Stay here and rest."

I refused his offer of walking me back home since its already dark outside plus he got injury on his thighs. I can take care of myself on my way there. He needs to rest so we can go to school tomorrow.

"Can I at least walk you downstairs?"

"Sure."

We exited his room and went downstairs. He walked beside me until we reached the front door. I opened it and stood outside.

"See you tomorrow at school."

"Thank you, Changkyun."

I took my leave. I could feel his eyes follow me until at the end of the street.

Thank you, Hoseok.

I arrived home safely. The clock on my phone says its 10:38pm. I didn't bother to wake up my mother but I left a note at the kitchen telling that I'm home. I also texted her when I got inside my room. Today is a very tiring day for me. I laid flat on my bed, thinking of Hoseok.

I wonder what he's doing right now.

I took out my phone and held it up on face. A notification greeted me.

[1 new message]

It's from Hoseok.

[From: Emo Hoseok :3

Thank you very much for taking care of me today. I know you're tired so I won't bother you anymore if you're already sleeping. Good night, Changkyun. :)]

I smiled at the message after reading it. I had second thoughts whether I'll reply or not but the latter prevailed.
