HYEJIN POV:

I sniffed a few times, pressing the tissue on my swollen eyes. Nose red from constant wiping of mucus running down from my nostrils.

Jeon was nowhere to be seen as I was sitting all by myself in the living room. Admitted it or not, I kinda felt empty without Jeon's presence. Why? I don't even know.

Maybe I just need someone for comfort. Yeah, I did. Who didn't after seeing your boyfriend kissing another girl in front of your two unblinking eyes.

I bit my lips bearing the upcoming tears that threaten to roll down on my cheeks. I decided to call my dad since I pretty need to hear his voice at the moment.

A few beeps after, the line finally connected.

"Yeah just put it over there, I'll sign that later okay. No, no. I didn't break the door. It's like that since the moment I stepped in to this room. The mug- I.. Fine. Yes, accidentally tipped it off the table hey but it's not my fault! Who put it there? You know what, whatever just go. Hello sweetie."

I chuckled by hearing the chaos at the background. "You broke something again?"

"Just the mug." He mumbled. I smiled at that. I'm glad that I called him. He made me smiled just by his clumsiness.

"Instead of hiring a bodyguard for me, I think you should hire one for you, dad. You worried me more. How are you btw?"

"Nahh. I destroyed lots but I fixed lots too. I fixed my pen that I broke today. And it works fine. Me? I'm all good, baby. Why? Miss me already?"

"I miss you so so much. Come home now. I'm bored to death without you and uncle Jin."

I guess that he could imagine me pouting right now. Well, I'm pouting.

"Few more days then we'll be back okay. Honey, I really do want to talk to you longer but I got tons of works to do. I'm sorry."

"It's fine." I reassured. "See you soon then, dad. Take care. I love you."

"I'll make it up to you okay. Bye, baby. See you soon. Take care too. I love you more. Muah!"

The call ended with me chuckling because of my dad's overload cuteness. Should I call uncle Jin?

I was about to press the call button when the front door was opened. I tilted my head and saw Jeon walking into the house.

"You're not sleeping yet?" He asked. He looked, cold. I mean not like he was cold as if the weather was cold. He was cold like, not like the usual him. He sounded more scary.

"I-I'm not sleepy yet." His intense gazed locked with mine as I quickly lowered my gaze down.

"You should sleep. It's getting late." I didn't want to argue more since Jeon looked so not in the mood. I made my way upstairs with a 'good night' coming out from my mouth.

~~~~~

I jolted up on my bed. Placing my palm on my heart that was beating fastly because of the sudden shock. The piercing sound of glass shattering down floor was the reason why I was awake.

Slowly, I got up, turning the doorknob without making any noise, afraid of the thing downstairs might hear me.

Tip toeing to the stairs, I bend down a bit so that I was not easily spotted. I saw a figure passing by through the living room. My breath hitched as I looked around me frantically, searching for the figure
