Insatiable ◆ Lee Jeno

◆40

The distant, muffled sound of shuffling brought Heejin to awake from her restless slumber, furrowing her brows at the sudden interruption and her ears picked up the sound of things being placed down and feet pattering against the floor.

Heejin opened her eyes, panicking herself when she couldn't see anything but the nightmares of reality dawned upon her.

"Who's there?" She mumbled through her sleep coaxed voice.
"Oh, it's me." Jeno spoke, noticing she was awake. The girl said nothing, still partially asleep.

It had been a week since she had returned home and Jeno had seemingly been busy with his own gang related things, thus he came less often to see her.

"Sorry if I woke you."
"Why are you here?" She still layed on the bed, on her side with the covers pulled up to her chin.

"I bought breakfast."
Heejin sighed, carefully sitting up in her bed and rubbing her eyes.
"Go home Jeno, I'm fine- I've got the boys."

The boy put down the bag of food on the desk and walked over to her. She was already in a bad mood, the sharp dull pains in her head making her want to curl up for eternity and sleep.

She felt the bed dip next to her and Heejin turned her head towards him.
"Taeyong's girlfriend Yaeji has been helping me a lot."

Jeno hummed knowingly, pushing her hair behind her ears and smiled endearingly at her.
"Did you have a good sleep?"
"No, my head has been killing me and I'm grumpy and I just want to go sleep."

"Then go back to sleep."
"I can't." She huffed, putting her hands down in exasperation. "Everytime...when I try to I just keep thinking back to it and-"

Jeno noticed how emotional she was becoming and stopped her.
"Okay, okay- how about you eat first and take your medicine and then try to sleep."

Heejin nodded slightly due to her headache and reached out, her hand landing on his knee.
"What about you, did you sleep well?"
"Yes Rosa, don't worry about me okay?"

Jeno got up from the bed.
"How can I not?" She muttered as he helped her over to the bathroom so she could brush her teeth and wash her face.

"Heejin-ah, is the bed nice? I brought it for you especially and trust me I had no idea what the sales assistant-"
Heejin walked forward blindly towards the voice- hand landing on someone.

"Donghyuck?" She wanted to make sure who it was and he confirmed it. Heejin smiled, visualising his face as she hugged him.

"Thank you for making sure I'd be comfortable, I'm sorry for being a bitch." She laughed and Donghyuck sighed, frowning as he hugged her back.

"Are you doing okay?" He whispered into her hair and she nodded, tightening her grip around him.

"I'm okay, I have Jeno." She whispered back and Donghyuck glanced up at the boy who was in the kitchen- slicing up fruit.

"You guys act like a couple already." He scoffed lightly and Heejin giggled making Donghyuck gag.

"Wow you really do like him huh?"
"Yeah, I think I do."
