The Man in Him (JoyKook)

1

A/N
Some asked for TaeJoy but I ended up writing JoyKook instead, something's wrong with me 😰. Still, I hope you enjoy the story, thank you in advance! ^^ I don't know if I succeeded at making this as a light hearted story since it's up to you guys but I'd like to think that it is. lmao 😂

The thing that drove me to write JoyKook is because someone in IG said that there isn't enough ff about them. I support JoyKook!

This is a gift actually since I was planning to publish this later once I'm done with my other stories. If I can connect wifi every day, I'll update this story once a day every day since every chapter is short.

Enjoy :)

Sooyoung leaned on the bus chair and stared outside the window. Her tears unconsciously fell which she wiped immediately so that people wouldn't look at her weirdly.

If life meant to give that to her then so be it, she'll take it head-on.

She'll go to Jeju after the semester ends and she got a month to settle things in the university as well as to tell her friends about it. Friends... just the thought of them made Sooyoung's tears fall again.

Sighing, she wiped her face clean and pushed the button for the next stop. Holding onto her bag, she went out of the bus and ran towards her apartment, not apparently hers, it was owned by Seulgi's family actually but since it was close to the university and Seulgi got no one to share it with, she told Sooyoung to live with her there.

She went inside and went to her room, it was dark and when she turned on the light, her breath caught up on her throat at the sight. For sure her face turned pale at the sight before her.

"W-ha-What are you..." She stuttered. Even though she can't see his face, she knows too well who he is.

The guy who's back on her who was in the middle of taking his shirt off turned to her.

Her gaze travelled down from his face down to his chest and only then she realized that he's naked up that she immediately closed her eyes. Did she just barge in when he's about to change?

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, I didn't know that you are coming and this is my room, your cousin's room is on the other side." She said with eyes still closed.

She heard his incoming footsteps and she felt her breathing stop.

Her heart started to pound and she can feel herself burning up. This can't be. Why.. why is he here? Isn't he supposed to be away? When did he come back?

She felt him stop in front of her and it was awhile when he talked taking her by surprise at the first thing that he said.

"Did you cry?"

She opened her eyes and stared at him. Oh no, is her eyes swollen? Of all things, why did he have to know that?

She looked everywhere trying to think of something. "Oh, um... I saw a puppy in the rain, it was sad to see so that's why I cried."

He nodded as if accepting her explanation, his expression gave her nothing, Sooyoung doesn't know what he might be thinking.

She was surprised when he put his shirt on her shoulder. Her eyes widen, her bra must be visible! she wanted to melt that instant out of embarrassment.

He took his bag and left the room, unbothered by her awkwardness towards him. He's just intimidating for her even though she's older and no one ever made her feel that way.

When she heard the door closed, it was just then that she was able to breathe properly.

She turned towards the door where he just went and sighed holding his black wet shirt.

This is going to be hard.
