For Real. Forever.

Chapter 2: The Alien

Park Jiyeon

I couldn't sleep last night so here I am, staring at the guy on my bed.

*Flashback*

No way... ABSOLUTELY NO WAY!

Instead of seeing a green, one-eyed slimy alien, I saw a guy, sleeping peacefully. My mind debated whether to leave him or not. I was thinking that the government might do an experiment on him like in The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I decided to help him. I searched the capsule for a button that might open the door. I found it and I pressed it. The door opened and I shook the guy.

"Hey! Hey!"

I shook him hard but he didn't wake up. I pulled him out of the capsule.

Goodness! He's heavy!

I dragged him to the grass, a little far from the capsule.

"Hey! Wake up!"

He slowly opened his eyes and stared at me.

"Where am I?" he asked me groggily.

"You're on Earth! Please get up! I can't carry you!" I answered him.

"Earth?" he asked.

"Yes! Earth!" I shouted frantically.

"Good." he said and he passed out again.

I heard some people coming over.

"Jiyeon, what happened?"

I look over and I saw my neighbor, Mr. Bang

"I..."

Should I tell him that this guy is an alien?

"My boyfriend was outside when that thing crashed."

Boyfriend?

Mr. Bang looked at me skeptically as other people approached.

"Outside?"

"Yeah... He wanted to watch the shower that he got out of the house even after I warned him not to."

Mr. Bang called some other guys and they carried him to my house. They were about to call 911 but I said that I'll just bring him home. I reasoned that he wasn't hurt, just suffocated perhaps.

They left after they laid him down on my bed. The alien didn't move a bone. I just put a blanket over him and laid down on the sofa across him.

*End of Flashback*

I studied the sleeping face in front of me. He has long curly eyelashes. His left eye had some markings. His nose was perfect and his lips curled in a handsome way. His black hair was combed neatly.

I was taken out of my trance when he moved. He slowly opened his eyes and he stared blankly at me.

"Hey." I said nervously.

"Where am I?"

'Where am I?' Is that the only phrase he knows?

"You're in Earth," I replied. "In my house."

He slowly sat up and looked around.

"Who are you?" I asked him narrowing my eyes.

He shifted his gaze and looked at me.

"My name is Lee Hong Bin. What is your name?"

Should I tell him?

"Park Jiyeon."
