Hoyeon's POV

Later on, Jisung and I found a cab. We went in and I told the driver our address since I'm sure that Jisung doesn't remember it. He even didn't know that we lived in the same apartment.

After the cab halted in front of our home, Jisung helped me with the bags while I paid our fee. The cab drove away and we went inside the apartment.

"This is where we live?" He asked, looking around like this place was new to him. Probably. I nodded and I placed my bags on the couch. I went back outside to take off my shoes and rushed right inside again.

"Come in, Jisung." He nodded, took off his own shoes and followed me in. He looked around while slowly placing his own bags down the couch. "Sorry if it's a bit messy. I was too worried about you."

He smiled. "It's okay. We can clean up together. I feel like I've been rotting in that hospital room." I just chuckled and placed the bags near the washing machine.

I pointed at the couch. "Just stay there for a bit. I quite made a mess in your room--" I stopped halfway realizing what I said. "Wait," I slowly turned my head to Jisung and he has his brow raised.

"You said you made a mess in my bedroom?" I just grinned and didn't reply and rushed to the second floor. As I got to his room, I rushed in and immediately locked the door.

I hit my head. "Stupid bitch! He's gonna know you've been sleeping and crying there!" I pouted to myself and started to fix Jisung's things.

I was flattening his blanket when I felt something off. I tapped a finger on my chin and though what's missing. "Pillows, pillows—Sungie!" I realized and immediately went to open the door.

By the time I did, Jisung was there, holding the said teddy bear. He gave a small smile. "Looking for this?" I nodded. I reached up to get it but he rose his hand higher.

"Hey, you know I'm short. Just let me have Sungie." He shook his head. He slowly pushed me aside and slumped on his own bed. I folded my arms and just chuckled seeing him back in his comfort zone.

"You really didn't need to fix my room, but thanks anyways," He sat down and placed Sungie carefully between his pillows. "As a thank you, I'll help you cleaning up, just like I promised."

"You sure?" I asked. He nodded and stood up. "Come on, the apartment is a mess." I followed him outside and lightly punched his arm. "Yah." He just grinned and we started cleaning the whole apartment.

I returned my pillows back in our rooms while placed the laundry near the washing machine so I can wash them up tomorrow.

I folded my arms while Jisung was beside me, looking over at the now clean living room. "If it wasn't for me, it won't be shiny." I glared at Jisung, pouting. He patted my hair then pinched my cheeks.

"My goody-good assistant helped me." I tried to grab his head but he was so damn tall and I was only 5'3". He took my hands and squished them like a teddy bear's.

My face went red hot and pinched his own cheeks. "Yah, stop." He said and I did. He suddenly took me from my waist and lifted me up. "Jisung, put me down!" I shouted but he just went upstairs.

I was feeling so worked up from the cleaning that I didn't even dare to fight it off again. I let him be and besides, I want to drown in my bed right now. Thankfully, Jisung put me there. I immediately covered myself in my covers and said, "Night" before closing my eyes.

"You're really that tired?" He asked. I nodded. "I cried about a thousand times and I haven't slept well. At least I'm in the mood to sleep right now," I said, opening an eye and smiling at him. "I'll see you when I wake up."

"If you will." I glared at him and he laughed. "Just kidding. Sleep well." I nodded and dozed off to sleep.

I felt the urge to pee and I immediately went off my bed. I immediately ran towards the bathroom and I saw a glimpse of Jisung in the living room, watching TV.

I closed the door and did my business in the comfort room. I'm not gonna feed you all about what is happening but anyway, I finished, washed my hands and left the comfort room.

"What time is it?" I asked myself and looked at the clock. My eyes widened that it was now five o'clock in the afternoon. I checked on Jisung in the living room and he was watching We Bare Bears.

I smiled and went to the kitchen to make some japchae for dinner. I was busy with stirring the ingredients in a bowl when I felt a presence behind me.

I looked behind and saw Jisung looming over me, observing at what I'm doing right now. "What is it?" I asked. He shook his head. "The smell made me extra hungry."

"Ah, sorry. I'll make it quick." I said and immediately finished our dinner. I was going to grab two bowls for us but Jisung already handed out for me. "Thank you." I smiled and put the noodle in the bowl.

Jisung saw the vegetables near the sink and he placed some on top. "I'll go get the rice." My eyes widneed. "You did the rice?" I asked. He nodded. "Yeah, you seemed to forget so I did it myself."

"Thank you so much, Jisung. I owe you everything." I said and I meant that. He patted my head as he took a huge bowl for the rice. I placed the bowl on the table and Jisung followed. I took our chopsticks and handed his to him.

We sat down and started to eat. I waited for Jisung to eat the noodle and when he did, he looked at me. "Does it taste okay?" He didn't reply and just munched on it.

"It tastes so good!" He grinned and I smiled. He looked so cute approving the dish. He gobbled up his food and I just laughed at how he acted. I ate up too and Jisung keeps on complimenting the way I cooked.

"Yah, Jisung, stop and just eat your food." I said, my cheeks puffed. I stood up and placed my bowl on the sink, together with my chopsticks. I looked back at Jisung and he just grinned while handing me his bowl.

"Don't you think.." He suddenly said. I raised a brow as he stopped and looked at me. "Don't you think it was like before?"
