A girl? Who else do I know that is a girl but isn't Y/N?

Yeonji...?

I stepped around the corner and saw no other than Yeonji sitting on the sofa.

What was she doing here? And how'd she know where I lived??

'Yeonji?' I called out to her. She looked my way and jumped up. 'Hey! Why were you out this late? You know it's dangerous, right?'

She was worried about me. Weird. She's always just been a classmate to me. Maybe she was just being nice?

'Uh, yea but I'm fine...what are you doing here? At this time?' I asked in confusion.

'Some problems came up at home...I decided to come here for now...' she said sadly. I felt sorry but didn't think it was sincere.

'Don't you have any other friends?' I asked.

'I mean, I have Y/N but I don't know where she lives...'

I sighed. Did she have to come here? Sure, I felt bad but it was so sudden and kind of annoying.

'I'll go tomorrow morning!' she added on. It couldn't be that bad to let her stay just the night.

'Okay, upstairs there's a guest room right at the end of the hall.' I said and started walking off. Where are you going?' she asked.

'Time to turn the lights off,' I said and put my hand on the light switch. Just as I was about to flick it she called out to me.

'Wait!'

'What is it?' I asked confused. 'Uh,' she fidgeted around, 'I'm kinda...scared of the dark,' she admitted.

Lol, I love the dark.

'Oh, then go on up to your room and sleep, it'll be morning soon enough,' I said and tried to turn the lights off again but once again I got stopped.

'It's dark up there,' she said as she starred into the illuminating darkness up the stairs.

'Just come with me,' I said and finally turned off the lights. Peace was upon me until I had to hold her hand and take a good 2 minutes to walk up the stairs.

Later on that night, I was lying in my bed on my phone as usual. Nothing to do really.

I heard someone walking outside, though, and they stopped right outside my door. It wasn't my mum, she wouldn't get up at this time. It was Yeonji and I could tell.

I heard her knock on the door and call my name quietly. At first, I ignored her so she thought I would be sleeping. It would be weird to just answer her like that.

I heard her voice a bit louder call out to me. I hesitated before I replied quietly. 'Yeonji?'

'Are you awake?' she said while peeping through the door. 'Yea,  do you need anything?' I asked.

She stepped fully into the room hesitated. 'Jisung...I'm kind of scared,' she said. I mentally sighed.

'Can I...' she stared. 'Don't say it' 'Sleep in here for now?'

'dammit'

I didn't want some random human girl sleeping in the same room as me! What if I suddenly got hungry in the night...

No, I could control myself...

In the end, I agreed, which I shouldn't have done.
