Requested by LeeArim

"Ms. Arim, I believe that you have been constantly failing these past few weeks." Mrs. Lee had told you to follow her to the faculty room.

You actually had a bad feeling about what would happen and you really were right. Sighing heavily, you lowered your head and avoided your teacher's eyes.

The test scores made you stressed, you weren't doing good at school anymore. If only you had the condition to study as much as you could but you find yourself struggling to sleep and then becoming sleepy during class instead.

"It's the fifth time that you slept while class is going on this week. You are supposed to focus Arim, the exams are just around the corner." It was hard for you to tell her about your sleeping disorder when you live alone and your parents are too far and too occupied for them to worry about you.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Lee." You bowed to her gently and continued to avoid her eyes.

You didn't know why you couldn't tell her the reason about you being sleepy all the time because you feared that your parents might be worried.

"I am very worried for you dear so I assigned someone to help you." Your eyes widened at her statement.

You didn't want anyone finding out, it would be harder for you to try and fix yourself when someone knows about your condition. These past few weeks, you had been trying to make your sleep deprivation go away but it was quite difficult for you with school.

"What?" Someone had entered Mrs. Lee's room and you nervously craned your neck.

It was Lee Euiwoong, the kid that was always the top in your class.

"Euiwoong will be your tutor right until you can make your grades better." He was staring down at you and you wanted to hide under a stone and not come out anymore.

He was your ultimate crush and he was supposed to help you now.

"But I can-" You tried to voice out but he shushed you instead.

You stared at him in surprise because you never really talk to each other. He had his own circle of friends and you were certain that he was out of your league.

You rarely converse with each other and this is the longest time that you had eye contact with him.

"I will be sure to let her pass Mrs. Lee." He exclaimed full of determination.

The glint in his eyes was different, you knew that it would be hard to focus if someone who's as handsome as him becomes your tutor.

------------
"So Arim, would you mind telling me why you keep on sleeping during class?" You had agreed on meeting at a local cafe by your neighborhood.

"You don't have to know Euiwoong." As much as you wanted to avoid his question, it was the third time that he asked you about it.

"Of course I do. How will I even help you."He took out a couple of notes from his bag and placed them all on the table.

"It's okay, you don't really have to help me actually." I sipped on the coffee that he gave me and gasped at the taste.

"This is so bitter!" You couldn't hide the expression on your face and he even chuckled at your reaction.

"Of course. It cures insomnia and its good for people who have sleep deprivation." He stared at you intently emphasizing the last two words.

You gulped nervously, how did he know?

"Why did you give me this?" You nervously exclaimed trying to avoid his eyes.

"I know about your case Arim." He placed his pen down and wore his glasses.

Gosh, he is already enough to make you distracted.

"What are you talking about. I don't know understand." You tapped on the table nervously and drank the glass again without much thought and tasted the bitter drink again.

"You have sleep deprivation so let me help you." He became serious in teaching you right after that.

It was actually pretty surprising that you learned a lot in a single day. Your head had hurt so much though.

You've been constantly meeting each other for tutoring and you were afraid because you have gotten quite close.

Your case was getting a bit better now although there are still a couple of nights that you can't sleep.

"So were done for today." He placed all his notes back to the bag and gasped.

"Its 9 in the evening! You should probably head home now, your parents must be worried" He ushered you to get up but you didn't budge.

"I live alone." He stopped his action and took you by the arm to stand up instead

"Then I'll walk you there." He was dead serious looking at you.

You couldn't help but agree because he seemed so stern.

For the past few weeks of knowing and talking to him personally, he was even more than what you seemed he was.

"Do you still find it hard to really sleep nowadays?" The both of you were nearly at your apartment yet the sky was so bright and beautiful.

"Yeah, but I think I'm getting better." You inserted the keys to your apartment and invited him inside for tea.

"You live alone here?" He scanned the place and realized that it was actually a bit simple and small.

"Yes." He sat down on a chair and brought his books out again.

"I don't mean to be rude but when will you leave?" It was actually an hour already but he was still answering math equations on the table.

"Until you fall asleep." He looked at you with his glasses for a second and you never knew that a guy could look so hot while answering a math problem in glasses.

"Uh, but wouldn't that be creepy?" You didn't mean to say that but you did anyway.

"I won't do anything to you. I swear. You have cctv and everything, bring something to protect you if you want but I won't leave until I see you sleep." You looked down at your watermelon pajamas and to him again.

Was he really going to wait? What if you can't sleep at all.

You made your way to your bed and lied down while seeing him still writing on the other end of the room.

"Are you serious?" You looked at him nodding his head and going back to his paper.

Not long after, you felt yourself closing your eyes and you never knew that it will happen in seconds.

You fell asleep.

I inserted some idea that is not just about her school performance in academics but something more crucial so I hope I did not ruin your imagination.
