The whole ride back to my apartment was silent between us. The only time we talked was when I needed to explain the directions to him.
I was looking out the window, watching the orange streetlights that we passed turn to blur.
It had already gotten dark by the time I had woken up at his place.
I turned my head and watched the male beside me. I took this chance to examine his features more carefully now. He had pretty pale skin that looked very smooth and soft and I really admired his black mullet. He also had his ears pierced which I thought looked good on him.
"We're here." His voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Thanks for the ride." I said quietly and unbuckled my seatbelt.
"No worries." He replied flatly.
"And you know... also for taking care of me and basically saving my life." I chuckled slightly. I saw a tiny smile tug on his pink lips as he finally turned to face me.
"What's your name, by the way?" He asked.
"My name is Park Jinyoung. What's yours?" I said.
"My name is Jaebum. But call me JB." He replied and I nodded.
"Well, I'll see you around I guess." I said and opened the car door and stepped out.
"Yeah. See you around, Jinyoung." He said with a serious face. I gave him a small smile before closing the car door shut.
I heard him drive off when I had reached the doors to my apartment complex and hurried to the elevator.
As soon as I went inside mine and Jackson's apartment, I heard him yell out my name from the living room.
"Yeah?" I yelled back and saw him sitting on the couch.
"I was starting to get worried!" He stood up and walked over to me with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Just... some things happened that-"
"Things? What things? And why do you have a bandage?!" He asked and pointed at my head.
"Calm down. Let me get changed and I'll explain everything, okay?" He nodded and sat back down on the couch.
I had stripped out of my white button up shirt, tie and black pants and put on an oversized white T-shirt and black shorts instead.
Me and Jackson were seated on the couch and I explained the whole situation to him, starting from the meeting with Namjoon to meeting JB.
"Well, you were damn lucky that he was there to save your life." He said with a serious face.
"Yeah. I was." I sighed. He was right. If JB wouldn't have been there, who knows what could've happened to me.
"Well, at least the meeting with Namjoon went well." He smiled.
"Yeah. I just hope that he chooses to contact me again and help me reach my dream." I chuckled slightly and scratched the back of my neck.
It was already late so we said our 'goodnight's' and went to bed.
I crawled under the covers and closed my eyes.
But every time I did, I saw him in front of me.
I reopened my eyes for the 12th time and stared at the dark ceiling.
I took a quick glance at the clock and it read 12:30.
I kept stirring and changing positions.
I couldn't keep him out of my mind.
I finally gave up on trying to get some sleep and sat up in my bed. I took my laptop and proceeded to work on my book to try to keep my mind off of JB.
I ended up writing two new chapters and it was about 2:15 when I finished.
I yawned and shut my laptop, placing it back on the bedside table.
Maybe now I'll finally get some well needed sleep.

I fluttered my eyes open and squinted at the bright sunlight that lit up my room.
I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes to get used to the lighting.
I sat up in my bed and yawned while taking a glance at the clock.
11:48 am
Ugh, I hated waking up late.
I dragged my feet to my closet and picked out an outfit to wear and shuffled my way into the bathroom to get ready.
"Ah! You're finally awake!" Jackson grinned while devouring a spoonful of cereal.
"Yeah." I yawned and made some cereal for myself as well.
"Did you sleep well?" He asked as I took a seat across from him.
"Not really." I replied.
"Why not?" He frowned at my answer.
"I don't know. I kept thinking about stuff." I shrugged and ate a spoonful of my cereal.
"What stuff?" I swallowed my cereal while thinking whether or not I should be honest with him.
"I kept thinking about JB. I don't know why." I mumbled and ate another spoonful.
"Uh huh. Interesting." He smirked. I immediately rolled my eyes.
"Don't even think about it, Jackson. I don't like him."
"Mhm... that's why you can't stop thinking about him." He laughed.
"I just met him! Let me live." I sighed.
"Whatever you say." He laughed and shook his head.
