The Guardian

Chapter 10

"So...where were you sleeping last night huh?", Taeul suddenly shows up in Yeong's room.

"Can't you knock?", Yeong should get used to his sister annoying habit.

"I can...but I don't want to...", Taeul smirks. Obviously didn't feel guilty.

Yeong rolls his eyes. "I slept at my friend..."

"I don't know you have another friend beside Leegon...", Taeul pretend to be surprised.

"What do you want?", Yeong asks impatiently.

"Nothing...you know...annoying you is my hobby..."

Yeong's phone is suddenly ringing. Yeong glances at his phone. It's Hajin. "Go...", Yeong gets up and pushes his sister out. from his room.

"Why? Is it your girlfriend?"

"None of your business...", Yeong slams the door and locks it. "Hello...", he picks up the phone.

The other side is silent for a few seconds. "Hello...", Hajin sounds hesitant.

"Are you okay?", Yeong asks worriedly.

"Yeah, I am fine...", Hajin laughs awkwardly. "I don't even know why I call you..."

Yeong smiles involuntarily. "Have you eat?"

"I ate too much this morning...if I eat again...Hakyung will drag me to the gym..."

Yeong can imagine Hajin is pouting right now. "Working out is fun..."

"I beg to differ! There's nothing fun in working out...", Hajin hates working out. Hate it with passion.

"I can show you how much fun it is..."

"Yes...yes...you can...", Hajin says really slowly.

"Good...tell me when you need a work out friend...", Yeong offers. Having zero clues that the girl on the other side of the phone is blushing. Imagining him shirtless. "Now go eat something..."

"Okay..."

"Good night Yeong..."

"Night...Yeo Hajin...", they both hang up the phone. Yeong looks at his own reflection in the mirror. Is he smiling?? Why is he smiling like that? He's terrified at his own reflection. Why did he feel like he just has a phone call with his highschool girlfriend? First of all, they're not a high schooler. Secondly, they're not even dating!

But he's happy Hajin called him. And he can't even stop smiling. What the hell is wrong with him?? Maybe he just needs to sleep. His brain just needs to rest and he'll be back to his own self tomorrow.

=============

Good morning...", Yeong greets Hakyung who's standing still in the kitchen.

"Morning...", Hakyung replies without glancing at Yeong.

Yeong frowns. What is she watching? Why Hakyung looks so concerned. Yeong approached her and finally understand why Hakyung looked like that. "What is she doing?", he asked.
