Baekhyun POV
I looked away when the spider suddenly moved. Jieun went red as she gripped the textbook tightly.
"What?" she asked.
Then I realised what I had said. Sleep in my room? Sleep with me? I was probably going red too.
"D..did you think that I...I meant sleep together?"
Jieun looked confused. I didn't even know what I was saying.
"I meant...s..swap rooms."
I quickly grabbed her hand and dragged her into my room and walked out. I went back into her room and sat on her bed. I laid down with my hands crossed over my chest. I could feel my heart beating fast. When was the last time I had this feeling? I wondered. I looked at the pristine ceiling above me and closed my eyes.
Of course. The first time I saw her on the first day of school. Her short wavy hair blew behind her. Eun. I opened my eyes. I got off the bed and walked into my room. Jieun was already sleeping soundly. I walked up to the bed and placed the covers over her. I stood back and looked at her face. One side of my me was thinking: What am I doing here like a creep?. The other side was thinking: It's her. It's Eun.
I sighed. How could I be so determined that the girl sleeping in my room was the girl I had first met over a decade ago? I carefully tucked her stray hair behind her ear. She wasn't going to wake up any time soon.
*******
I knew it was the morning, but I didn't want to wake up. I opened one eye and looked around. Where was the spider? It was probably gone by now. I decided to sleep on my side when I saw the spider. I almost choked on my own saliva. I looked at it for a while. It wasn't this big yesterday. Suddenly it moved. I literally jumped out of the bed, as I landed on the ground with a loud thump. I ran to the other room where Jieun was.
Jieun POV
I woke up to the sound of a thump and then a loud knocking on the door. I got off the bed and opened the door only to see a petrified Baekhyun.
"What happened?" I asked.
Instead of saying anything, he dragged me into my room and pointed at the spider from yesterday.
"What the-" I gasped.
*****
One moment I was still in bed, the next I was holding a broom swiping away at the spider. As it crawled to the open window, I quickly brushed it out and closed the window.
"Ok, let's eat breakfast." I said with a deep breath.
Baekhyun POV
Sora kept calling me throughout the day, but before I could answer, she would always hang up. I texted her several times if she was okay or whether she wanted to meet me in person again. She never replied.
I wasn't going to wait for Sora's reply for the whole day, I thought. I went up to Jieun's room where she was on her laptop with the covers draped over her.
"Hey, do you have any plans today?" I asked.
"No." she replied without looking up.
"Do you want to go anywhere?"
"No."
If Jieun was playing hard to get, then she was doing pretty well.
"Well, I want to go somewhere." I said.
"Ok."
"Do you want to go with me?"
"No."
"Hey."
