You let out a sigh, looking around the restaurant that you finally got done cleaning. Once again your boss had you work extra hours and you weren't happy but you weren't going to complain. He knew you needed the money and that was the only reason he did it.

It had been hours since it got dark and all the other shops had already shut down for the night leaving just yours lighting up outside. Usually it didnt take you this long to close but it was busier than usually today.

You take a deep breath and lean on the wall, taking one last look around and moving your hand to the switches turning all the lights off.

You hear your phone ding a couple times from the counter and you cant help but groan while walking over to it. The only thing lighting up the restaurant was the dim glow coming from the mini fridges stocked with soda.

You freeze and let a small smile come to your face seeing jisungs name flash crossed your screen. Taking a deep breath you open the messages

You cant help but chuckle and shake your head before letting your smile slowly fall. Your mind runs back to your mother's words today before you left the house.

Not to mention you were exhausted. You worked 11 hours and you were stressed and confused over what happened that morning. You sigh before finally replying.

You lay your phone back down on the counter before taking your apron off and putting it on one of the hooks, grabbing a bottle of Sprite.

You let your mind run back to the man that morning and you play with the lid of the bottle slowly opening it.

You couldnt stop thinking about him. Not because you liked him just because you're still so shocked and bewildered over it all. If he hadn't pulled you away you would have been the one to fall in front of that bus.

You knew he was lying about his explanation. It didnt line up and even then how did he know it was you that would have been pushed or that there would even be a bus there.

Your thoughts wash away as your phone buzzes again. You take a deep breath, taking a drink before walking over to your phone, opening the message.

You slowly look up from your phone to find him acrossed the street, leaned up on his car, looking at his phone.

You shake your head before shoving your phone into your pocket and grabbing the Sprite, heading towards the door.

He looks up and you move your eyes away from as you open the door, walking down the steps slowly towards him.

"I never said I didnt wanna hang out." You say and he shrugs, putting his phone into his pocket.

"You never said you did either. In fact you lied to try and avoid me." He raises an eyebrow and you stop in front of him, scanning him from the converse to the brown hair laying softly acrossed his forehead.

"I know I'm sorry. I'm just tired. Plus I need to get home." He nods and you look down the street before giving him a small smile. "I'll see you around." You turn, walking down the street quietly.

You hear him sigh before opening the door to his car.

"Hey. I can give you a ride home. Its past 1 and dark." You turn around looking at him and he smiles softly. "A pretty lady like you shouldnt be walking alone this late." You bite your lip to keep yourself from smiling before nodding.

"How do I know you're not a creep and you wont kill me?" You ask and he shrugs.

"I guess that's just a chance you'll have to be willing to make." He smiles before getting in the car.

You glance around the streets before walking back to the car, getting back in. You two sit in silence for a moment and he slowly turns his head to you.

"Ma'am I dont know where you live." You cant help the small laugh you let out and you take a deep breath.

"Go back to the flower shop. It's around the block from there." He takes a deep breath before finally starting to drive.

"So how are you feeling after this morning?" He asks and you shrug.

"Tired and confused. Did the police question your friend?" You ask and he nods.

"Minho. And yeah they just asked what happened and let him go. Turns out the guy who was hit had 3 different drugs in his system. He had a warrant out for his arrest and he had just stolen some rich person's purse. They pretty much said he did a good thing." You let his words sink in before scoffing.

"That's not okay. Even if that many was doing bad things he didnt deserve death. Maybe some jail time and rehab but not death." You mutter and Jisung turns to look at you and a small smile comes to his lips.

He looks back at the road and stops smiling before nodding slowly. You lean back looking out the window as raindrops begin to fall down quietly.

He stops at a red light and you both sit in silence as the rain starts to get louder and louder. He takes a deep breath and looks to you before turning back to the road.

You glance at him before turning to look back out the window. He starts driving again and you play with the soda bottle in your hand.

Neither of you say anything until you see the flower shop and he clears his throat.

"Where do I turn?" He asks and you point up the road.

"The next stop light take a left and you can just drop me off in the first parking lot." He nods slowly and flicks his blinker on, getting over.

You look down at the bottle, knowing you were almost home and yet once again you didnt wanna go home.

Your eyes flash up as you feel him turn into the main parking lot and he looks around.

"These places look fancy." He mutters and you nod slowly.

"Yeah they are." He glances at you for a second before parking.

You lean forward and reach for the handle but freeze when he grabs your hand.

"Wait. I have a question." You look at him and nod.

"Go ahead." He takes a deep breath and let's go of your hand.

"Can we hang out tomorrow? And the next day. And the day after that-"

"Are you lonely?" You ask and he stops and moves his eyes to look at you.

"No, I like you." You feel your heart flutter a little bit and you look away from him.

"Text me when you wake up and I'll see if I have some time tomorrow." You say and he smiles before nodding.

"I'll see you tomorrow."
