I made my way out of the complex, which had the rooftop I just passed time on. Sunghoon refused to hang the phone up, all I could hear was the engine from his car roaring loudly.

God this guy better not crash.

We agreed to meet up somewhere close by, I walked over to where we were supposed to meet, and to my surprise he was already there. His back turned away from me, looking around. 

I hung up the phone and watched him panic again, oops, sorry Sunghoon, I didn't mean to make it seem like that.

I ran up and hugged him from behind, he immediately turned around and gave the largest exhale, his body freeing from all tension.

His arms wrapped around me so heavily, strongly and tightly, he refused to let go. He laid his head on my shoulder, he was literally shaking.

We just stood there, engulfing eachother in a huge, comforting hug. It was intimate, he was relieved, I was relieved. He grabbed my face and kissed my forehead, then proceeded to place my head in his chest again.

I could hear his thumping heartbeat, this man was STRESSED.

"Yerin.." He groaned, "Baby, I'm so sorry." His arms tightened around me, he simply didn't want to let go.

I let out a meek chuckle.

"It's okay now." I reassured him, but he seemed so upset with himself.

"I don't want you to go home, you are staying with me. Yerin, I.." Sunghoon looked at me, and I just cupped his face and gave him a kiss.

"And Areum too, I'm guessing?" I raised an eyebrow as his hands made their way to my waist.

"Fuck Areum man, I thought you really got kidnapped and had your organs harvested and stuffed with bags of cocaine." Sunghoon's eyes glimmered as he stared down into my eyes.

"Not today." I shrugged with a smile.

"Did anyone do anything to you? Are you okay?" He looked me all over, as I laughed, nodding.

"Just the odd catcalls, nothing bad though." I smiled, he looked extremely tired and stressed, "Let's go home, hm?"

He nodded, immediately opening the door for me to sit down in. And just like that, he drove off, pretty quickly back home.

As he parked his car into his garage, he looked at me.

"By the way, Jiwoo is here. Sorry, she insisted." He warned me and I grimaced, oh no. This girl is going to beat me to death.

I hesitantly stepped out of the car, heading into the main room. Thank god, no sign of Jiwoo yet. Up until Sunghoon led me to his bedroom, his fucking bedroom was huge. Like, genuinely, who needs all this space?

Jiwoo and Areum dart their heads both towards me.

Jiwoo grit her teeth, and I knew for a fact I was done. 

"YOU! I WILL-" Jiwoo made a run for me with a pillow. I pushed Sunghoon gently out of the way of the door, running out of his room and onto the corridor upstairs, I just ran wherever - wherever Jiwoo's scolding wasn't.

I thought I was safe, peering out of a corner to make sure she's not in this random small hallway. What I didn't know was that she was behind me. She smacked me multiple times with a pillow, yelling, cursing and making whatever noises.

I ran frantically back the way I came from, in hopes to find Sunghoon's room again, but damn, this house was like a labyrinth, door after door, corridor after corridor.

After a few smacks from Jiwoo and sprinting a world record in the upstairs of Sunghoon's house, I finally found my way back into Sunghoon's room. I panted heavily, throwing myself onto his bed as I heard Jiwoo's screaming grow louder.

She calmed down, walking into Sunghoon's room with the pillow again, her hair was mess, but it was hilarious to look at.

"You can be safe with your little boyfriend now, but trust me, when we are alone Yerin - you are going to be the cabbage I turn into kimchi." She threatened - holding the pillow at me.

Areum sat silently, her face said it all. Genuinely, she hated me and Jiwoo being there, she hated me with Sunghoon and most importantly, she just hated me.

Jiwoo, exasperated, sat on the floor as Sunghoon wrapped himself around me, holding me in his arms while rubbing my head.

"Where the fuck did you even go!? Why?!" Jiwoo asked, catching her breath.

"I went for a walk after being abandoned, got lost." I shrugged, condensing the story into something less problematic.

Jiwoo groaned loudly, laying on the floor.

"You are causing me to get grey hairs, Sunghoon. I'm sleeping here, I don't care what your answer is. Goodnight." She made her exit just like that, the slamming of the door echoing a few seconds later.

I chuckled, Areum was still sat here. It made the atmosphere pretty awkward. Sunghoon was just caressing my hair, falling asleep slightly. I don't blame him, in a way I feel responsible for all of this.

So sorry Sunghoon. You can get your beauty sleep tonight.

"Are you okay Yerin?" Areum suddenly spoke, which took me aback - because like, after all the shit she said about me, she cares if I'm okay?!

It even made Sunghoon wake up and sit up to look over at Areum.

"Yeah, I'm okay, are you okay Areum? You seem a little upset." I didn't have the energy to say much or anything.

"Eh, just a little, I'll be fine though. I'm staying over too, goodnight guys." She stood up and left the room, leaving just me and Sunghoon alone.

Sunghoon sprawled out on the bed, groaning loudly.

"Give me your some of your clothes, I refuse to sleep in this." I sat up as he chuckled, his eyes partially closed. He let out a large groan as he sat up, heading straight for his closet. I followed behind him, he took something out for himself and for me.
