Chapter 26| Sleeping Handsome

[JI-EUN]

What a tiring day today!

I had so much fun with the kids at the small school. Unfortunately, they asked why Jungkook is often not with me anymore.

I understand if he gets back the bond he and his brother lost, because it's only for them. I am happy for him, but at once I feel lonesome since he used to give me accompaniment before.

My students would just find me daydreaming in the corner thinking out loud of things. I kind of miss Jungkook. He didn't sleep here since he introduced his brother to me, then I stopped hearing some news about him. Is he okay right now?

I sighed.
I don't have the right to complain that thing to him. I am just a 'no one' in his eyes, to tell it frankly, I'm just a complete stranger who found him in the middle of the road--unconscious. It's okay, Ji-Eun.

-
Snapping out of my trance, I opened the door of my house as I stepped on the doorstep and I switched the light on.

As the whole space brightened, I spotted someone sleeping on the sofa. His skin was pale, but I wondered why it became paler than the usual.

"Jungkook?" I called.

He didn't make a response as I decided to put down my stuffs on the center table and peek on his face.

To my surprise, I just realized the sleeping man doesn't have black hair-- he has a faint mint green hair when I get to saw him in a better view. This isn't Jungkook at all!

This is...

"Hmm?" he groaned, lifting his head a bit. His narrow eyes slowly opened, trying to recognize me.

"Oh--" I trailed off, backing out. "Sorry, I thought you were Jungkook."

I cleared my throat, as it had drought figuring out this guy sleeping on my sofa was Jungkook's brother.

I blinked, expecting for more. I thought he'd quickly stand up and make a distance between us but he just heaved, going back to sleep.

"Are you with Jungkook?" I asked silently.

With all of a sudden again, his eyes flew open and it widened.

Seeing him rushed away from me, he jumped off the sofa and tumbled on the floor. Worriedly, I turned around to check him  wiping his puffy eyes that looked like freshly awaken. Did he expect seeing me at the first time was just a phantasm?

"You okay?" I asked coddled.

"Ah. Yeah...you're there," he mumbled shyly. "I'm... I'm not with him, I just-" I tilted my head with a lot of confusion.  "I thought of dropping by here because,"

What really made him drop by here? It's really unexpected! Right now I'm still mind blown.

"Because?" I asked.

His cut offs are making me uneasy! He seems like avoiding our eye contact too.

"You got a nice sofa," he shrugged.

I chuckled.
He just came in here like a trespasser to sleep on my cozy sofa?

"Ah really?" Gasping for a second, I remembered something.  "How did you come in?"

He was looking on the ground like his brother Jungkook always does.

"Window."
I looked by the window and it was really open. No doubt he came in without needing any permission at all.
"I didn't steal anything or whatever," he said. "I just slept."

I bobbed my head gradually.
"I know, it's okay." I said turning the television on. Right now, I'm going to have a moment with Jungkook's brother alone. The goosebumps he brought me last time suddenly were replaced with awkwardness and uneasiness.
