I have been at Jin's apartment for more than 3 hours. As frustrating as it is, i am glad he is late. I was able to get some sleep in, before he arrives. Because as soon as he arrives, he is gonna make me study.
And the thought of it is enough to make me yawn. We have known each other almost all our adult lives, and i still dont understand why he still lives alone.
We work together at the university, but he is a better student than i ever will be. He takes his job as the teachers assistant seriously, while i slack off as much as possible. He is like my mother, always nagging me to complete my work. And i appreciate him enough to actually come here everyday after work to complete our assignments.
Jin says i am much more intelligent than he is, but my laziness gets the better of me.
So, I doze off once more.
I am shaken awake by a red faced Jin, who seems to be having a hard time catching his breath.
But before i can ask him anything, he places his hand on my mouth tightly, and gestures with his other hands finger to keep quiet. I nod under his hand, signalling him that i wont speak.
He tiptoes around the couch to the window, and looks out hesitantly, hiding behind the blinders.
I follow him to the window, needing to know what has him so on edge. There is a bike parked near the opposite building that i have never seen in this area before. I get suspicious.
Are there thugs? Why is Jin scared looking at the bike?
Something is wrong, i can feel it.
I tap Jins broad shoulder, mouthing "why are we looking at the window in secret?"
He whispers, "someone's been following me around since evening, thats why i am late!"
This still doesnt explain why they would be following Jin.
"What'd you do this time, big bro?" I frown at him.
"Just went back to the school, and ran into the biker guy!" He mutters.
"WHAT? AGAIN?" I almost loose my cool.
Even though he is older than me, he still acts like a baby sometimes. Why does he keep going back to school, i can never understand.
I scowl at Jin, and am about to scold the living daylights out of him, when there is a rap at the door.
All the hair on the back of my neck stands on end.
Jin never gets visitors. The only 2 people who ever visit him are me and Hoseok. But Hobi is out of town. So.. who is it?
I turn my head towards Jin, and am sure that I have a mirror expression on my face.
His lips are parted, there is sweat on his brow. He thinks it is the same person that was following him. I can tell, withiut him needing to say it.
"Why did he follow you here, though? Did you take something from him?" I ask him in a hushed whisper.
"No! The moment he was gonna see me, i ran for my life." He assertively replies.
The rapping on the door increases in intensity, so I signal Jin that he hide, and i will open the door.
I move to the sink in the kitchen, wet my hair and grab a towel. I open 3 buttons of my shirt, and then make my way to the door.
I quickly let out a breath to muster some courage and open the door.
"Hobi?" I squeal as i jump on him and he easily catches me and carries me in, laughing and closing the door with his foot.
I bury my head in the crook of his neck, and breathe him in. Gahhhh, how much i missed him.!
"How are you early? You said it'll still be 3 days, until you would come back?" My voice is muffled, but he still hears it.
Jin must've heard me as well, because he leaves his hiding spot to pat Hobi on the back, "Glad you made it back safe!"
"Yeah, thanks. I came back, because i missed you too much to stay away." He replies as he hugs me tighter, and sits down on the couch. Now, i am straddling in his lap. And a blush creeps up my neck.
"Aww..baby! You still get flustered so easily!"  Hobi whispers in my ear and it sends a sweet shiver down my spine.
"Ughh ..dont start this here. A lil consideration for the single guy, please!" Jin has gotten so used to our presence in his apartment that it sometimes seems we all live together.
His house is our safe place. He is our safe place. And i love him for it.
