The Stars Amongst Us [2yeon ff]

[18]

"Jeongyeon I'm ba-" I suddenly quiet down since I see Jeongyeon peacefully sleeping on the couch.

As I was with Momo trying to get me to date a man in the mall like she's a matchmaker, I bought some clothes for Jeongyeon and I so I head to the bedroom and sort the clothes into the closest. Then going back into the living room and watching some tv at a low volume to not wake up Jeongyeon.

The show that was playing was a man and a girl together. I guess this was what Jeongyeon was watching before she fell asleep.

I changed the channel into something more of my taste. But the channel I was on was showing commercials instead of shows. So I waited till the show started to play.

"Joe's barbeque and foot massage!" It played in the background as I scrolled on social media on my phone.

Of course the first post that shows up is a picture of Momo and Heechul together.

HiraiMomo: Handsome man '3'

Kimheenim: I have the prettiest girlfriend :)

MinatoSana: Aww cuteeee!

KimHyun: Best couple 2020

"Heh." I let out a scoff. They are very cute together.

I liked the post and continued to scroll until the show began.

-Timeskip-

"Where's the lamb sauce!" I laughed as I watched the chef yell at the other chefs in the kitchen. The show was very funny, I was crying after all the laughing I did.

But I wasn't the only one crying here.

It was midway through the show when I heard the quiet sounds of sniffling and whimpers. My eyes lock onto Jeongyeon who I assume is making those noises. Her back was facing towards me so I got closer to her to get a better look.

She was gripping a pillow on the couch tightly. She was having a nightmare. I looked at her face and tears were constantly rolling down her cheeks and getting on the couch.

I didn't know if I should leave her or wake her up. If she wakes up she wont have that nightmare anymore but she might be annoyed that I woke her up. I think she will be fine if I wake her up. She can go to sleep if she wants to again.

So I did what I thought was right, I gently shook her till she woke up. "Jeongyeon, wake up."

"Mmmmmhm?" She says confused. She slowly wakes up, rubbing her eyes and turns her body towards me.

"Are you ok? It looked like you had a nightmare. You were crying" I said and she slowly raised her hand to her face, wiping her cheek and feeling the wetness.

"Oh. I'm fine." She then sits up on the couch, still rubbing her eyes and slowly getting awake.

I sat down on the couch beside her, "Are you sure? This is the second time you had a nightmare since you lived here."

She looks down at the wooden floor for a second then looks back up at me. "I'm cold."

"Do you need a hug?" I twist my body towards her and open my arms.

She nods, leaning into my arms and closing her eyes. I wrap my arms around her body and lay back on the couch. Her head leans on me while I close my eyes as well.

-Timeskip-

"East Hills! Back to school!" The sounds of commercials played, waking me up. It was now night time. My eyes opened after falling asleep a while ago and Jeongyeon wasn't in my arms anymore.

"Jeongyeon?" I yelled out but nothing came back. She must have left again. I still wonder what she does out there and why doesn't she tell me what she does?

I left the couch, tidying it up before turning the tv off and heading to the bedroom to sleep some more since I had work in the morning.

Opening the door to the bedroom, the lights were already on. I didn't think about it much so I just walked to the closest to change into my pajamas and throw my clothes into the laundry basket.

Before I went to bed I made my way to the washroom to brush my teeth. That's when I opened the door and was surprised.

I screamed and Jeongyeon screamed back as we were both scared. Jeongyeon was fully naked, about to go into the shower when I opened the door.

"O-oh! S-sorry!" I said, backing out and closing the washroom door. I could feel my whole face burning up. I'm so embarrassed, I didn't know she was here!

I jumped on the bed and covered myself with a blanket. I needed to hide from everything now. Yes I have seen her naked before but this time was different. We both didn't know it was going to happen and we both got scared by each other.

I turn my body to a more comfortable position and make an attempt in sleeping. But instead my brain decides to think about Jeongyeon's naked body.

It was only a few seconds that I saw her but I still got to see some features. She was thin like before, maybe even thinner than the first time I saw her. She had fair skin, it even looked very smooth and soft.

But I saw other things too, there were scars on her body. On her arms, legs, back. They were healed but you can still see the marks of where she got hurt. Those scars must have been from when I saw her for the first time in the woods. She was really hurt.

Ugh I need to get these memories out of my head, how about I think of something else. Hmm work is tomorrow, Jaehyun is gone, I get to talk to Momo again, she's probably gonna talk to me about dating again.

Hmm, dating. I'm 25 and I don't have a soulmate yet. I have dated some guy in high school but it wasn't that exciting or fun. Maybe Momo is right, I should start getting into a relationship again.

Who would I even date? Mark at the office? No. Woozi? No. Chen? He's ok. Wait he has a wife, nevermind.

There's no guy that interests me. They don't fit what I want, I don't even know what I want. But it's not any guy I met that's for sure. Maybe I should meet more people. Maybe I haven't found anyone I like yet.

Or maybe I am not interested in men at all. So what then? Do I date girls then? I never even thought about that before.

Who would I date? Jennie? No. Mina? No, she has Chaeyoung. Yuju? No. Ryujin? No. Moonbyul? No.

Jeongyeon?

Hmm..

Well she is a nice person, and very pretty. Bet any guy would be lucky to date her. But me? I don't know, I have mixed feelings about her. She's mysterious, I don't know much about her at all yet I let her live in my house. Why did I let her live with me anyways?

I'm so confused. I think I'm done thinking about dating now.

I yawn, guess this is the perfect time to sleep now. Though I hear the shower running in the washroom as Jeongyeon cleans herself I quickly drift off into slumber in bed.
