028

"Here," Jun handed Sana a glass of water and one of the Ibuprofen tablets. "My mum has these when she gets bad cramps. They help a lot." He also handed her a hot water bottle.

She took the pill gratefully and pressed the warm bottle to her lower abdomen before she advanced on the chocolate he'd bought.

"I want to watch Titanic..." she mumbled.

They soon found themselves upstairs in her bed. The laptop balanced across Jun's legs and Sana rested her head on his chest, munching on shrimp crackers as the movie played.

Jun got quite uncomfortable when "that" scene arrived, but Sana couldn't have cared less. She just stared at the screen, this time chewing on caramel sweets, after she'd been through two bags of crackers and a large bottle of water.

She began sniffing again when the ship started sinking and began talking about how it must have been so scary and so cold and so horrific and then she suddenly fell silent and just cried while Jun stroked her hair and tried to calm her.

By the end of the movie she was asleep with her head on his stomach and her arms around him so he couldn't escape.

After a few minutes of sitting with nothing to do, he looked curiously at Sana's laptop on his lap. With a naughty smile, he went to her folders where she'd stored pictures from her phone and camera and began looking through them. He giggled at her old childhood pictures when she'd lost teeth and had her hair in little cute braids and pigtails. He looked through the more recent ones, pictures of her and all her friends—Irene, Seulgi, Momo, Mina, Chanyeol, Mark, Yuta and Wonwoo—posing in the school garden when they were meant to be watering the plants and picking the grown tomatoes.

He smiled at the silly videos she'd taken when the class was being loud and chaotic when the teacher wasn't around. He went to the next picture and was surprised to be looking at one of himself. He was in school and was leaning back in his chair, earphones in and phone in his hand and he seemed to be playing a difficult game from the look on his face.

Jun never remembered that picture being taken of him, and he smiled naughtily again as he realized that Sana had taken a secret picture of him. Even though he'd done the same thing to her...he wouldn't admit it, and was glad that he wasn't the only one acting like a kind of creepy person.

He found more secret pictures of him, then lots of pictures of her parents. It was quite noticeable that Sana didn't look a lot like her parents, except for a few very tiny details if you looked very closely.

He quickly closed it down and pretended to go to sleep when he felt Sana stir on his chest. She woke up a few minutes later and shook him awake as well.

They went back downstairs and Jun went over to the piano. "Can you play?" he asked her. Sana nodded slowly with a yawn.

"Play me something," he asked her, leading her over to sit down before the instrument.

She warmed up with a few scales, then stretched her fingers and played the "Pink Panther" theme song. Jun chuckled as she played, but clapped at the end of it. It had been really cool.

"I can play too," he told her. "And I want to play something for you..." He sat right behind her, not bothering to make her move off the piano stool. He rested his chin on her shoulder and snaked his arms around her to place his fingers on the keys.

Then he slowly began to play and sang along softly into her ear:

"Secretly laughing, secretly crying

Hiding how I really am

While having a hard day

Today too, the words that can't be said

I can only keep it to myself,

'I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired'

When you're tired, you can share it with me, I'm like that too

Always failed to hide what I tried to, you know it too

We can make each other laugh

Don't feel sorry,

Don't you worry,

Don't be afraid,

Now stop crying

To me you are very precious

For you who must have had it hard today, I'll tell you

That I'm here,

That you've done well,

That I love you...

And I will hug you tight..." Seventeen – Hug

Tears rolled down her cheeks, but her face was bright with a smile. Jun took his hands off the keys and hugged her around the middle, cuddling into her shoulder.

"Did you like it?" he whispered quietly. Sana nodded, wiping away her tears and turning to look at him. He beamed at her, then moved in closer and their lips met.

Seulgi checked her watch again. She was going to be late getting home. She had missed the early bus and the next one wasn't coming for another thirty or so minutes. She, Irene and Momo had just been to the movies, then had gone for dinner at a restaurant in a very quiet area. There weren't many cars and the buses didn't come frequently.

She had promised her parents that she'd be back early to help out a little at their restaurant as that night they were having a special event. She needed to get back in forty minutes, and the bus ride would take about an hour once it arrived.

A motorbike passed by her on the road and pulled over a few meters away. Seulgi looked in the other direction for any sign of a bus or taxi. A tap on her shoulder made her jump. She whirled around to see who it was.

Jaebum stood with a black biking helmet in a gloved hand and was running the other hand through his long dark hair, sweeping it out of his face. He had a nose piercing that she'd never noticed before and he was staring down at her.

Seulgi stood up, surprised at his appearance. "Hey tutor," he said casually, his long hair falling back in front of one of his eyes. He looked like a typical biker in a black leather biking jacket and black boots and half-cut black gloves. And overall, he looked hot.

Seulgi gulped, then quickly composed herself. "Hey, JB...uh..." she trailed off as he cocked his head at her, making the rest of his hair fall in front of his eyes.

He looked around then said, "What are you doing all alone at night?" Noticing the wind and her short-sleeved shirt, he took his jacket off and threw it over her shoulders.

"You look like you need to get somewhere," he continued and she nodded. "I'm late for an event at my parent's restaurant..." she replied glumly, looking up and down the road for any sign of another vehicle. There were none.

Without another word, he handed her his helmet then nodded towards his bike. "I can take you," he offered. "It's faster on a motorbike."

After a moment of hesitation, she nodded with slight reluctance. Jaebum grinned and led her back to his bike and made sure she got on alright before getting on in front of her.

"Don't you also need a helmet?" she asked, her tone worried. Jaebum laughed. "Don't worry about me," he said confidently.

"I-It's my first time on a motorbike..." Seulgi mumbled as he started the engine. He turned his neck to speak to her. "Don't worry, I've been driving this baby since I was 16," he assured her. "Oh, and you'll need to hang on..."

Seulgi quickly wrapped her arms around him, already terrified she'd fall off. Jaebum chuckled and set off. Her turned around and headed in the other direction after Seulgi told him where to go.

Jaebum was right; it was certainly much faster on a motorbike. He skillfully weaved between traffic and stopped a street down from her parents' restaurant as there were so many cars parked along the road from people who were attending the event. She had nearly ten minutes to spare when he helped her off the bike and gave him his helmet back.

Her hair was slightly messy from the headgear, so Jaebum politely patted it back into shape. When he dropped his hand, Seulgi beamed at him.

"Thank you so much!" she said, starting towards the restaurant. "I would've been in big trouble if I'd arrived any later. Thank you again and I hope you're working on your French!" She waved at him and jogged to the restaurant.

He simply nodded after her and turned to get back on his bike again when he was suddenly hugged from behind.

"I'm like, really REALLY seriously grateful," Seulgi said into his back. "I would be DEAD MEAT if I'd missed this event..." She let go of him and he turned to face her, his heart jumping like he had missed a stair going up a flight of steps.

He grinned awkwardly and nodded, then watched her final departure.

He exhaled to calm himself and put on the helmet before checking the road and driving off.
