"It all started four years ago when dad was appointed as the prosecutor for Park Hyunseok's case. He......"

Before I could continue the door to the guest room was opened with a bang as a half naked Jimin rushed in.

"What is going on? Sooyeon are you okay? Taehyung what did I tell you about Sooyeon? I told you not to bother her! It's freaking 2am, let her sleep!" He shouted from the door.

I opened my mouth to speak up but Jimin was quick as he dragged Taehyung out of the bed towards the door.

"Jimin? Jimin wait!" I shouted back

He looked at me puzzled. It was visible from his face that he'd just woken up and was pissed because his sleep had been interrupted.

"He didn't do anything. Actually I had a nightmare and I unknowingly shouted and Taehyung came here just to make sure that I was okay. I'm sorry." I said to him.

He looked at Taehyung who was standing there calmly as Jimin was holding him by the collar. He immediately let go of his collar.

"Oh. I-I didn't know. I woke up thinking that I heard a scream and then I had to go get a glass of water. When I passed your room, I heard sniffling sounds and also Taehyung's room was open and nobody was inside so I thought that maybe he was bothering you."

"I'm sorry." He said to Taehyung and Taehyung just waved it off.

"Okay I'll go back now. Good night." Jimin said awkwardly and walked out.

I looked up at Taehyung and wondered if he'll ask me to continue.

"We can talk about this later. It's okay, go to sleep. I can sleep here if you want." He said offering for help but there was no way in hell that I was going to sleep with a boy. Not sleep sleep, but still.

"No no I'm fine. Thank you so much."

He nodded and left.

Now that he left and I was alone again I was thankful that Jimin barged in. If he hadn't I would've told Taehyung everything. Not that I don't want to, but I feel like it's too early for me to trust him this way. He's a decent guy and I'm sure he won't mind if I tell him, but that's just what I assume according to my observations. I don't actually know him yet. Also the conversation I overheard in the parking lot the other day, that doesn't sum up to my assumption.

I laid down again and tried going back to sleep. After about forty more minutes I finally went to sleep.

"Yo, wake up!"

"It's 7:30 already, wake up."

"Oi Sooyeon! Wake the fuck up!"

My blanket was snatched from me and I groaned as I curled into a ball in order to keep myself from freezing.

"It's 7:30. Don't you have to go to work? That reminds me, where do you work? Wait, do you work?"

I shut my eyes and focused on sleeping as I ignored the questions.

Wait. Did he say 7:30?

I sat on straight on my bed as I looked at Jimin who was now by the windowsill and was looking outside the window.

Looking at the clock I realised that it was 7:30.

"Oh shit!" I got up and ran to the bathroom.

I had to reach school by 8:00 which means that I'll have to leave by 7:45 which means that I'll have to take a shower, get dressed, put a little make up on and have breakfast in fifteen minutes.
