I looked up to see tears flowing down his cheeks. Sitting up straight, I wiped them away with my hand. ❛I didn't know we had so much in common, Jungkook.❜
He turned to me and that's when I realized ── our faces were only inches apart.

"I promise," the both of us said together.
"I have to go now, Yerin."
"Already?" I asked, and he slowly nodded. "Well, at least I got you to say my name."
He grinned, and I asked, "You're older than me, aren't you?" He nodded again.
''Goodbye, Sunbaenim."
"Don't call me that! 'Oppa' is better, honestly."
"Okay. Bye, Oppa." I smiled. He got up from the bed and walked towards the door.
As he turned the doorknob, I asked him, "What's your name?"
Just as he was about to answer, I heard another voice, much like the boy's. "Yerin?" It called me.
-
"Wake up!" I felt someone grasp my hand, and my eyes suddenly shot open.
I realized my breathing was uneven. "Are you okay?" I saw two coal black eyes looking at me in concern.
Jungkook.
"I think." I exhaled heavily. "What time is it?"
"Thirty minutes past midnight," he replied, glancing at his watch.
I looked around and realized I was in my bedroom, and he was sitting on a chair by my bedside. "What are you doing at my house after midnight?" I asked, surprised.
"Well, you lost consciousness when you came to get your bag in my office."
"I what?" I exclaimed.
"Calm down," he said firmly. "Minji and I brought you here. She left after cooking dinner for both of us. We called a doctor, and she advised you to eat well and sleep."
"Thank you," I said, processing all the information. He nodded, and got up from the chair. I sat up, and leaned on the headboard. The headache wasn't there anymore.
He came back to the room after a while, with a plate of food. "Eat up, then."
"Thanks, Jungkook. But I'm not hungry."
"Doesn't matter. I won't take no for an answer," He announced. I stared at him. The last thing I wanted was to eat. "You can either eat or I'll feed you."
"Look, I-" He cut me off by forcing a spoonful of food to my mouth. It melt in my mouth. I kept quiet, simply because it was delicious. Must thank Minji later, I made a mental note.
He continued to feed me, and I had neither the strength nor the will to refuse anymore. My heart skipped a beat when I found him looking straight into my eyes.
