XXIII. I Am Here

It was still a bit light outside, so I figured I should stay at Jinyoung's house for a little while since I would be lonely by myself. "What should we do now?" I asked.

"Mm...I bought a new movie, wanna watch it?" He asked.

"Is it scary?" I asked, thinking about last time we watched a movie together.

"...a little."

"No!"

"C'mon pleeeaaasseeee! I promise I won't scare you this time." Jinyoung said.

I turned away from him.

"Well, you don't have a choice anyways. You're watching a movie with me." He snickered and put the disc in and turning on the TV.

I whined. "I hate you."

Jinyoung sat down next to me on the couch and the movie started. "See, it's not that bad!"

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Oh! Wait! Popcorn!" Jinyoung rushed to the kitchen and quickly made some popcorn, returning to the couch.

I ate the popcorn in silence as the movie played. Jinyoung wrapped an arm around my shoulders and I looked at him weirdly. His gaze was fixed on the screen like it was the most normal thing ever.

"You have pretty hair." Jinyoung suddenly said, combing my long hair with his fingers.

I realized Jinyoung really, really, likes skinship. I guess that's what he does when he's comfortable.

I couldn't stop myself from getting flustered. "Don't say those things."

"Why nottttt?"

I didn't answer him, and looked away. He chuckled and turned back to the screen.

"AHH!!" I nearly knocked the popcorn over as I yanked the blanket up.

"It's not scary anymore Jihyun." Jinyoung said tapping my shoulder.

He leaned closer to me, making me lean in the opposite direction. "Give me a hug!!"

"Noooo!" I quickly moved to the opposite side of the couch.

Jinyoung caught up with me and put his arms around me.

Then, it was like my heart was running a marathon when he decided to kiss me on the cheek.

I blushed bright red. "Why do you like hugging and touching so much..." I muttered.

Jinyoung pouted. "...because sometimes I feel lonely."

"Why?"

"When I was little, I used to be jealous of other kids who always got hugs and kisses from their mothers. Because I didn't have that." He said. "But now, I have you."

Oh yeah.

Jinyoung grew up without a mother, if I recalled correctly.

I frowned, my eyes suddenly tearing up. "That's...so...sad..."

"Ah!! Jihyun, why are you crying?!" Jinyoung said.

I chuckled. "Because I didn't realize before that you suffered so much. You grew up without a mom, and your dad passed away, and your grandma is sick--I-I feel s-s-sorry."

"It's oookaaay. When I feel sad, I remember that they're watching me somewhere far away and are proud of me. I'm 1st place after all." He said proudly.

I nodded and sniffled loudly. "You are such a lovely person."

Jinyoung looked at me. "What?"

"I said you're such an ugly person."

"That was smooth. Don't worry, I heard what you said." He said smugly.

"In an adorable way." I said.

"Whatever you say."

WOO JINYOUNG POV.

I looked at Jihyun sleeping soundly next to me. The movie wasn't even closed to finished, and she fell asleep, leaving me allllll alone with the spooky ghosts.

I didn't know she snored so loudly either. "How do you make snoring cute?" I asked quietly.

I turned off the movie since there would be no point in watching it alone, plus it was pretty scary.

I couldn't stop stealing glances at Jihyun sleeping. She looked so peaceful--for once, instead of giving glares out to everyone. I brushed some hair out of her face and carefully caressed her cheek. Then I realized she would probably hit me if she was awake, so I retreated.

I sighed and got off the couch to get more blankets for her, since it was dark now and she probably can't go home.

After there was a mountain of warm blankets on top of Jihyun to the point where you barely could see her, I went back to my bedroom to go to sleep.

HWANG JIHYUN POV.

"Jiiiiihyuuun."

"Look behind you."

"AHHHHHHH!!"

I bolted straight up, absolutely drenched in sweat, and the mountains of blankets on top of me didn't help either. Of course I had nightmares, that movie was scary.

"Jiiiihyuunnn, look behind you..."

I whimpered and hid under the blankets. "It's just in my head, it's just in my head."

What time is it anyways? Did I just fall asleep while I was with Jinyoung? Oops...

It was really dark in the living room, which made me even more scared. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to sleep at all tonight.

"Should I..." I pondered at the idea in my head. I hopped off the couch as quickly as I could, running to Jinyoung's room with the 50 blankets in my arms.

I entered as quietly as I could, and laid one of the blankets on the ground next to the bed. Jinyoung was sound asleep on the bed, looking like a cute little angel as always. No, it's more like the opposite.

My jaw dropped when I saw him holding a teddy bear. I silently fangirlled at how cute it was. Woo Jinyoung is such an angel. I snickered and took out my phone, taking a quick picture of him, and then getting in my blanket bed. I was out cold in 2 minutes.

WOO JINYOUNG POV.

I yawned and stretched as the sunlight greeted my eyesight. The first thing I thought when I woke up was that I should check on Jihyun, even if I was literally half-asleep.

I got up and started walking, but before I reached the door, and tripped on something and fell on my face with a thump.
