"I'm your.. host brother, for now though. I won't be living here for too long," The boy said rather quietly, he slid an omelette onto a plate and motioned for me to sit down in a chair, I did so.

I wanted to ask him about why he would be leaving, he was only 16, my age, he wasn't even allowed to move out? I kept silent and began to eat a piece of bacon with my hands.

"Why are you taking care of me? Where's your- our parents?" I asked, tilting my head a bit, then catching his gaze for a moment, and then he looked back down to a drawer full of cutlery. He pulled out a knife and fork and handed them to me, I took them gently, placing them onto my plate.

"About that.. they woke me up this morning, they told me that they would be gone for a few days, maybe even a week for a business trip," he carried his plate of food to the table, sitting right in front of me.

I felt a bit awkward, knowing that long periods of eye contact would have to be endured. We ate silently, munching our food. Once in a while, I caught him staring at me, it made me feel self conscious, but then again, I also caught myself staring at him. I pulled my phone out, checking the time, it was 7:12.

"When should we leave?" I asked, looking down at my empty plate, and then taking a peek at his, he was about to finish up. I looked away but I still felt his eyes on me.

"It's only 7:12.. Our school is only about 15 minutes away, so let's head out in a few minutes, let's say.. 7:20? They let students in at 7:40." He spoke, I loved his voice, it was so smooth and velvety. He took my dish, and his and walked to the sink, scrubbing the plates and cutlery. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him, and I came to the realization that I only had minutes before we had to leave.

I ran to the living room, where a cardboard box sat, containing the shoes I will be using for school. I lifted the lid and pulled them out, quickly slipping them on and then tying them.

"C'moooon let's go!!" The boy would holler, I took my backpack, swung it over my shoulders, and sped walked to the door, I saw the boy waiting in the car.

Smiling, I locked the door and shut it behind me forcefully. I stepped down the few stairs and onto the concrete path, opening the passengers seat door. His car smelt nice, like cinnamon or some kind of dessert or drink I couldn't quite put my finger on.

"Buckle your seatbelt, silly." The boy would say to me, I glanced to him, seeing he already had his on. I obeyed, buckling my seatbelt in a rush.

He drove off, he seemed like a good driver, but he was a new driver. I was told we were in the same grade, which meant he was 16. I glanced over at him, his gaze clearly focused on the roads, the cars, the atmosphere, why did he have to seem so alert? I held back a chuckle, instead smiling a tiny bit. We arrived to the high school, I swear I thought my eyes were sparkling with.. admiration? Not for the boy, but for the school. My wishes had been fulfilled, my mouth was open in awe.

I felt a soft and warm hand on my jawline, he pushed my chin upwards so my mouth closed. I laughed a bit, and so did he, I looked to my side, seeing him stare at my chest area. His gaze immediately made me cover up my chest.

"What are you looking at?!" I said, my voice raised a bit.
"Calm down, I noticed that your tie is untied, let me help." He said calmly.

I felt his fingers gently touch the surface of the skin on my neck, it sent a shiver down my spine, I felt guilty, but for what? He was so close I felt his breath on my neck, I couldn't say anything, I didn't want to say anything. Those thoughts along with a few others came up in my head, until he jolted his head up.

———————————♡︎❤︎♡︎————————————

"Ready! Let's head in!" He would exclaim.

I felt my heartbeat quicken, I was scared but excited, and I had so much adrenaline pumping through my veins. I got out of the car, closing the door.

"I'm Seungmin by the way, Kim Seungmin," He spoke, his gaze fixed on something or someone elsewhere.

I nodded, I knew he couldn't see it but I guess it was out of habit.

"I'm Y/N," I would reply, shyly. I didn't bother looking up, I kept my head down.

"You'll be just fine then, Y/N," He turned, reassuringly smiling at me, he held his hand out, I reached for it and we both gripped gently on to each other's.

He led me through the school doors.
