Yanna:

I woke up feeling my head throbbing with pain. I groaned and rubbed my eyes. I opened my eyes only to see an unfamiliar place in front of my eyes.

I looked down and saw that the sheet I'm sitting on is completely different from mine.

This is not my bed. This is not my room. Where am I?

I looked under the sheets and sighed in relief that I am not naked and I still have the clothes I wore last night clung into my body.

I took my phone from the nightstand and checked the time, 9am. Shoot I'm late for work.

I was about to leave when someone entered the room. It's Hoseok.

"Hobi? Where am I? Why am I here?"

Hoseok:

I entered my room and Yanna sat there looking confused as ever. She's awake.

"Hobi? Where am I? Why am I here?"she asked me.
"You were drunk last night."
"Drunk?"
"You don't remember?"
"I only remember going to the club."
"Why were you there by the way?"

She looked at me and hesitated to answer. "I was just stressed out."
"Stressed because of what? Work?"
"Probably."

"By the way, how did you know that I was there?"

Great, she doesn't remember. She just unknowingly  confessed to me last night. She said she's hurting. I never showed her I don't love her. What made her think like that?

"Well, I called you. Then you passed out and the bartender told me where you are."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"No. You aren't a disturbance. You will never be."

Besides, it's my fault why you are hurting. The only problem is, I don't know what I did that made her think like that.

I led her outside the room and into the kitchen.

"Where are we Hobi? This is not your parents' house right?"
"No, this isn't. We are here in my condo."
"You never told me you have one. I thought you live with your parents."
"I come home every weekend but I stay here on weekdays. Living here is more convenient."

"I prepared hangover soup for you. Take this after eating"I said as I handed her a bowl of soup and Advil.

"Thank you Hobi. I appreciate it but I have to go. I am late for work."
"Don't worry about that. I already informed Taekwon you are not going to make it and he said it's alright."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course."
"What about you? Aren't you going to work?"
"Don't worry about it. I can manage. Besides, I don't want to leave you here alone."
"No Hobi. I can go back to my apartment."
"No. I'll stay here with you."
"Hobi? Where's my car?"
"I drove it back to your apartment. I took the keys from your bag. I knew you used it last night."
"How did you do that all?"
"I am Hobi. I can do anything for you."

Yanna:

I woke up and I suddenly knew that I'm in Hoseok's condo. I'm glad he's the one who took me. He just saved me from last night.

I ate the soup and drank the Advil Hoseok gave me. I sat on his couch while he took care of the dishes.
He suddenly sat beside me.

He then pulled me to him and hugged me. "Are you feeling alright now Yanna?"he asked as he looked down to me. "Yes, the pain in my head lessens."

But my heart clenches in pain right now. I should never get used to this.

He smiled and I asked him a question.
"Does your girlfriend know about me Hobi?" He looked at me in shock and confusion.
"Girlfriend? I don't have one."

Shit. Then who was that girl with him yesterday? Why did I even ask him about that?

"Why would you even ask me that?"
"Nothing. I just thought you have one. You never told me about your relationships though."
"I don't have a girlfriend. I'm waiting for someone. I just have to make sure she feels the same way as I do", he said and smiled ever so brightly.

I love seeing that bright smile, but knowing it's because of someone else makes my heart clench with pain.

Lucky she is who happens to be the one you love. Lucky is the one who is the reason behind that smile.

He pulled me even closer and cuddled with me. He filled me with his warmth.

It hurts to know that you only see me as a friend. You never know what a simple hug from you brings me. It brings me warmth and love. It hurts to realize that I don't affect you the way you affect me.

Your body against mine brings a different kind of feeling, but knowing it won't last long just makes me want to let go.

I felt my cheeks suddenly become wet. I covered my mouth and tried to keep the noise from being heard.
Hoseok suddenly looked down to me.
"Yanna, why are you crying?"
"Nothing. Don't worry", I said and tried to  wiped my tears. Hoseok cupped my cheeks and wiped my tears instead. "Don't cry Yanna. I'm here", he said and smiled.

I hugged him and cried.

Don't make me fall harder for you Hobi. Don't make me think like you feel the same way. It hurts me more. Don't keep my hopes up.
