I "Missed " You

Pull the Strings, Tighten the Grips

Hyerin POV

I help him climb in inside and lock the window as the cold wind and some leaves are starting the fly in the room and landing onto some fabric.

I let him rest for a while on the bed while I start to organize the study table full of books from different subjects but I will be later eliminating some books which he doesn't need help on.

"Jungkook come here.Sit beside me." I pat the stool beside me and he immediately crawled over and sat on it, sitting attentively.

"Okay so first this question is not related however to the studies but..." I can feel that he is also curious on what I am asking.

"Is this the only time that you have been this shy?" he suddenly jump on the question. His eyes wandered the room for a moment and he nodded shyly. I chuckled and fixed my glasses, pushign them up the bridge of my nose.

"Now, History is already on the list so... what subjects do you need help more on?"

"ummm... only History I think." I smile at the response and placed the other books back in my own personalized locker.

"Okay so starting this night, we can be friends and only friends okay? I know that this is so unexpected but I don't want the two of us always awkward every tutoring session."

I pulled out a fist and he was confused for a sec.

I motion my fist and he respond. We fistbump and I pat his shoulder then turn the pages of our History book as we have a long test this coming Wednesday. I explain every scenario, situation and event that take place and occurred in History like a tour guide in the rainforest.

We finish finally by landing on the bed. I noticed that during the tutoring, he gets interested and interested in the discussion. And I am happy for that progress.

I glance over my watch.

11:30pm

"Umm Jungkook did you ask permission to your aprents that you are going to stay up late? I guess they are worried."

I asked in a concerned tone. Just to be polite to be exact.

"Ahhh yes... yes I asked permission. And can I sleep here?"

My eyes bulge out of their sockets as I heard his request. A boy sleeping in my room... is that normal? Unless we are friends right?

"Well, maybe? Just wake up early and escape through the window because Eomma checks up on me early to wake me up."

He nodded. I guess he understood.

"What time does your mother wake you up?" he asked gulping down some water.

"4:30 am"

He suddenly burst water out of his mouth and it splashed all over my face, making me squint.

"Ah- Mianhe. I was just shocked because your mom wakes you up too early."

"5:30am is not early though. Unless you just like seeing the early morning day." I said while grabbing a towel by my bed and wipe off the mouth water. (Is this a new term?)

As I was about to stop from wiping, he reached out a hand and touched my cheek.

"Gwaenchana?" he asked.

I chuckled and remove his hand from my cheek.

"Yah, we're friends now right?"

"Will I let you sleep in my room if you were not my friend?"
