Love In The Invasion

Chapter 15

Chorong didn't take his hand and just stood up on her own, she looked above her head and it was already dark. The sun had het meaning it was early evening.

Suga yawned and said "come on, let's go back, we can enter the spaceship tomorrow". Chorong nodded It could be close to midnight, I must check on Luhan. "Yeah, I'm feeling a bit tired" Chorong stretched her arms as they walked back to the old shed.

They returned and Woozi came running to both of them. "Noona! Candy ahjusshi!" the little boy then hugged Chorong's waist and looked up to her "where did you go?" tears were forming in the boy's eyes. "I got bored with Dahyun noona" he whispered that so Dahyun wouldn't hear it.

Chorong sat down so she could be eye-level with him. "Don't worry Woozi-ah, we just went out for a walk" she patted his head trying to comfort him. Woozi nodded and asked "so can we play now?" Suga sighed "where are your friends? Like, the ones your age".

Woozi pouted, "they're sleeping" he said then clung onto Suga's leg. Suga sighed ,again, but just went with it.

As they walked away, Chorong took the chance and left them to check on Luhan who was now her only connection to the aliens and to save everyone she ever cared for.

She opened the door and found him unconscious as usual. Will he wake up once the aliens are done telling me everything? She thought I hope that dream was real and not just a weird nightmare.

Chorong took a chair and waited for 12 midnight, she looked at the clock, it was 11:30 pm so she just needed to wait for 30 more minutes.

She waited and waited, then got bored so she just thought of how great it would be to see everyone again, to see everything orderly again , and to feel happy because everyone is safe again. She can't wait to see her family and friends safe again but many things contradicted her thoughts Is Suga the guy I can't trust? Will what they tell me to get difficult to find? Will they trick me just to get to everyone else? Worry ran to her head as she shook the thought off.

She looked at the clock again "Five more minutes, and I'll do what I need to". Then the door suddenly opened. It was Suga and he looked at her with tired eyes and messy hair he was probably sleeping.

"Why are you here and still up?" Suga yawned then walked behind her chair and laid her chin on her head. "What are you doing?" Chorong asked "Woozi woke me up in the middle of the night and bugged me that he had a bad dream, so I tucked him in my bed then he was fast asleep. I looked in your room and you weren't there, so I went here" Suga closed his eyes as he spoke, but since his chin was on her head, her head shook as he spoke.

Should I tell him? But what if he's the guy I can't trust? Chorong hesitated on telling him but the clock was ready to strike twelve, she prepared a piece of paper and a pencil to write what she will hear.

Suga then asked "why are you still awake?" Chorong gulped "I have to watch over Luhan until he wakes up" Suga sighed then walked to Luhan's bed and sat there. Suddenly, Luhan's eyes bolted open, Chorong immediately stood up and checked his eyes, it was just plain black. Then he began speaking "bring us the blood of pain, sweat of hard work, and tears of joy. Take it to the same bridge by Han River, come alone". Chorong took note of everything while Suga stood up from shock.

Suga then asked "what the hell just happened?" he stood away from them in the room. Chorong got nervous, what will she say? She she just shrugged and said "this happens every midnight, get used to it, that's why I take note of what he says". Suga nodded and tried to go closer but Luhan's eyes already closed and so did his mouth, Chorong looked at her notes and said "I should go to sleep now" but Suga asked "I thought you'll watch him until he gets up?" Chorong shook her head "I waited for him to suddenly say something, I'll go back now" she tried her best to avoid eye contact with him.

But before she could even leave the room, Suga grabbed her arm and made her face him. Chorong tried her best to keep herself from blushing or getting nervous since their faces were only inches apart.

"What?" she tried to break the silence between them but he said "Chorong" but it sounded more like a whisper. "What?" she asked again but this time, her blush was slowly appearing. Suga gulped " please forgive me for what I'm about to do" "Wha-" then he pulled her waist closer to him then kissed her.

Chorong didn't know what to do but she just kissed him back but something flashed before her eyes during the kiss.

"I trusted you!" yelled a female figure, Chorong couldn't tell who the person was since it was dark. "Well that was your mistake" said a male figure. The female figure ran away from the man but everything after that was blurry to her.

Suga broke the kiss and Chorong just stared into his eyes in shock.

Suga sighed "sorry it just- I just- uhm...." then Chorong cupped his cheeks and kissed him again, she had two reasons, to see what happened next in her vision and well, he took her first kiss, might as well take the second one.

Chorong didn't see anything, maybe it was a one-time thing, so she broke the kiss and stared at Suga in the eyes. Both of them were blushing as if they were high school students that just confessed to each other.

Chorong cleared her throat and said "well then, it's late we should go to sleep, uhm, see ya" she ran away from him then ran into her room. She jumped on her bed then covered herself.

She squealed loudly into her pillow then tried to put herself to sleep but the thought of Suga, made her wide awake. She sat up in bed then told herself "no Chorong, he could be the guy they were warning you not to trust, but he's so- aaahhh!!" she screamed in her pillow again.

Chorong tried her best to fall asleep and fell asleep around 2am but woke up as if she fell asleep for only ten minutes.

"Chorong, Chorong wake up" a hand shook her awake. Her eyes fluttered open to find Woozi smiling sheepishly and Suga smiling at her like a typical boyfriend would.

Chorong smiled at the thought and got up, "Noona, guess what Candy ahjusshi told me" Woozi said while covering one side of his mouth. "What did he tell you?" she asked while smiling at the little boy. "He said-" but Suga cut Woozi off by covering his mouth. "Woozi's still asleep, go back to sleep Woozi" then carried Woozi away but Woozi grinned and shouted "Candy ahjusshi likes noona!".

Chorong smiled at the two as they left the room. She then left the room and walked after them.

She looked around and found Woozi practically trying to drag Suga back to her room, but Suga wouldn't budge. She smirked "well maybe noona likes Candy ahjusshi too".

Suga spotted Chorong and smiled nervously, Chorong did a small wave but Suga gave her a 'help me' look but Chorong just waved at him and mouthed "good luck".

Chorong then remembered what she needs to get for the aliens. She ran back to her room and picked up the list, "blood of pain, sweat of hard work, and tears of joy". Then, she ran to Luhan's room, and did a double check on him, suddenly, he spoke words. His eyes were plain black and his mouth was the only thing that moved on him.

"You have until 11:30 pm to bring us what we need then by 12 midnight, we will ask more of you to bring. Every time you will miss a moment to bring us what we need, we will take another of your survivors" then his eyes closed and Chorong was filled with worry.
