"There was a strange boy in the mirror I don't like him," said Jungwoo squeezing his arm tighter again. "And they told me to wear a jacket upside down in the car and I believed them, but then it turned out you don't have to."
"I'll bring your pills," Lucas tried to stand up from the floor but Jungwoo took his arm in his hands.
"Lucasy don't go I don't know if Eniee is here."
"Who? I'll go insane, wait here!" he jumped up leaving Jungwoo on the floor.
He ran upstairs coming back down with Jungwoo's backpack, he opened it looking through it till he found pills, there was a piece a paper attached to it with a description, but he could barely read in Koren.
"Stacy!" he shouted when she hurried from the kitchen with steaming tea cups. "Can you um, read that?" he asked giving her the paper.
She smiled placing the cups on the table then reading through the note.
"Give him this and that," she pointed at two boxes, then handing him a water bottle.
"Jungwoo take this," Lucas pressed the pills out then gave to the boy.
"Don't like," Jungwoo shook his head. "It's cold," he shivered. "So so cold I can't get warm."
"Drink it down," muttered Lucas so Jungwoo did when he grabbed the blanket from the couch then wrapped it around the boy.
He sat next to him on the floor leaning to his side, Jungwoo was mumbling things that didn't make any sense at all till he calmed down enough to become more here.
"Lucasy I'm Jungwoo, I'm twenty one and I like music and puppies," he whispered.
"I know," Lucas sighed.
"You're cute," Jungwoo chuckled in a sweet way.
"How many times should I tell ya not to call me cute?" asked Lucas.
He was so tried of that day.
"He's right," whispered Stacy walking to the couch with cookies.
"Stop ok! Stop, both stop!" begged Lucas, they will definitely drive him insane.
"Here, cookies for you," Stacy gave them the plate.
Jungwoo took one then smelled it investigating it from all sides.
"Are they real?"
"Yes you can eat it," Lucas laughed.
"Can I eat it?" Jungwoo tried the cookie. "Lucasy it's real chocolate," he said stunned.
"Yes," Lucas winked to Stacy.
She was watching them with an undecipherable smile and he realized she had to be older than him to be so caring and calm, he has never asked her about her age.
Jungwoo ate two cookies, he calmed down completely then walked to the couch and laid down on it. Stacy sat next to Lucas on the floor, she cuddled to his side when he watched the boy who closed his eyes, soon his quiet breath sounded in the room.
"He's sleeping," whispered Stacy.
"Yep," Lucas felt something twisting in his stomach.
"He's so sweet it's such a pity he's so sick, such a lovely and beautiful boy," Stacy shook her head miserably.
"Yes," Lucas sighed.
Jungwoo's face was making them so torn, Lucas suddenly couldn't just get over it, the obvious unfairness of life that made Jungwoo's reality one peril of horror and pain.
"I'll go now," Stacy leaned in pecking his lips then moved from the floor.
"You could stay," he whispered.
"We will meet, I mean if you like," she smiled.
He felt heat on his face when he walked behind her to the door. They stopped, she moved on her toe tips to kiss him deeper.
"Actually I thought your'e the tough guy, you know this heartless asshole," she laughed.
"I am," he muttered.
"Yes I've seen," she glanced to the couch and the sleeping boy. "See you around, text me or call me if you want to meet again," she pecked his lips goodbye then left quickly, he was watching her disappearing in her car his inner self a sudden mess.
What was only happening, he wasn't doing dating, he wasn't meeting girls more than two times, he wasn't nice to anyone or... he turned to the couch then walked upstairs quietly to take a quick shower. He returned to the living room with his duvet and pillow then laid down on the carpet underneath the couch, just in case Jungwoo would wake up and feel anxious again, just in case. It's all Kun's fault, because he fucked up. Yes, he will definitely never see Stacy again, yes and stop being nice to Jungwoo starting tomorrow morning, he will gain his reputation back yes, definitely.
He heard the boy moving on the couch so he sat up to check on him, but Jungwoo only turned in his sleeps, he was smiling to himself, the fair hair scattered on the pillow his cute face all soft and clam.
Lucas laid back down trying to relax and focus on his plan.
