[ Jan 16 - Monday - 5:20 am ]

The world is as silent as it ended in the night. The sun is still below the horizon and the street is as dark as some old-school black and white. As outside is still dark, the only difference was the time to sleep and the time to rise. The texture of the thick bed sheets against HanEul's skin felt good, warm; compared to the cloudy cold glass of the window to her left facing her back, announcing the heavy and cold weathers spread through the city.

HanEul slowly reached for her phone sitting closely to a lamb on the nightstand to check time. She realized she woke up ten minutes early before her alarm went off. I guess I could sleep ten more minutes.

She roll to the other side to find a better position to sleep. HanEul turned and buried her face into her pillow to get away the chill air lingering her room. But her brows furrowed slightly at the unfamiliar signals she was getting from her surroundings. She appeared to be curled up against a warm, solid something, perhaps breathing? HanEul suffered a moment of shocked panic as her eyes flew open.

Despite the room was really dark and hard to see but she knows for sure there was a figure lying next to her. Then she thought a moment and remembered where she was and scenes from yesterday afternoon. I remember seonsaengnim was here during late afternoon and after JangMi-sshi finished taking care of me...I felled asleep. So, I don't really know what happened after that. Then a quiet laugh that she felt more than heard made her look up again into the pair of amused eyes, which was kinda hard to see.

"For a moment there I thought you were going to scream," - Kang Chil observed.

"Why would I do that?" - HanEul respond in a lifeless tone but noticed there was a bit of miffed by the suggestion, "And I don't remember giving permission to sleep the same bed as me." - she said while expressing coldly at him. Both then slowly sat up. As for Kang Chul, he could only give her a nervous laugh and shyly scratch behind his head when she said that. Though, it seems HanEul is actually waiting for him to reply.

"Ah~ well, when I saw you last night sleeping so soundlessly, I couldn't help myself but think you were so cute. I just wanted to hug you and never to let go." - he said with childish grin. As it now, sunlight was emitting closely at the horizon so HanEul could slightly see that child-like grin of his handsomely face and so she rolled her eyes. "What troublesome teacher I have..." - HanEul said with a blank face.

Hehe~ man, she's seriously isn't playing around when closing off other people. - he thought with imaginary sweatdrop as a symbol he's slightly embarrassed. Then he remembered the conversation he had with GwangJae-sshi. Kang Chul looked at HanEul with a bereft face as she went to turn on the lights. If he recall it correctly, GwangJae said she's been doing this for five years—alone. And she'll keep working alone. Even though, she has three people are closely helping her and adores her, it's not the same for someone who she really wants to stay at her side.

As they decided it's time to get up, Kang Chul thought he should to wait for her went down stairs as she changed. "I'll make breakfast while you get dressed," - he smiled warmly at her. HanEul only frown slightly at the man, which cause Kang Chul a confused face when she made that face. "Don't worried about it, I don't eat breakfast..." - then she left into her closet without giving Kang Chul a chance to speak for himself.

As he stood there, an a amusement smile formed to his lips and repeat the same remark HanEul said to him, "What a troublesome student I have."
