That night I couldn't sleep, since I kept on replaying the scene in my head, over and over again. But, it didn't stop from causing me to smile each time I thought about it.

The next morning when I woke, I was really tired, and my mom had to come in to shut the alarm and wake me up.

"Were you staying up all night?" She asked me when I came out of my bedroom after getting ready for school, as I headed towards the kitchen table for breakfast.

"No, I just couldn't sleep." I say, sitting down as my mom placed a plate, of what I could smell was some pancakes.

"Thanks mom," I say as I reached for the fork. I frowned. "Mom, where's dad?"

"Your dad went to work really early to cover a shift for someone who's sick today," She answered me, as she sat down at the table too.

"Oh..." I say, and placed a piece of pancake in my mouth, and began to chew.

The smell of my mom's perfume began to drift towards me, and I could tell it one of her special perfumes, only to wear on special occasions.

"Where are you going today?" I asked her.

"Oh," She says, a bit flustered. "How'd you know?"

"I could smell one of your special perfume," I say, and she chuckled.

"Well... I'm going for a job interview today."

"What?!" I say out loud in shock. "Mom, you got a job?! Where?"

"Now now, don't get too excited. It's only a job as a waitress at the restaurant where your dad's uncle works in the city." She says.

"You're going to do fine at the interview," I say, reassuring her as I reached for her hand. "They would definitely hire you, since you have a great experience in the working field." 

"Thank you, Sumin. I needed some support." She said, placing her hand on mine, squeezing it.

I smiled, since I was extremely happy for my mom, and got back to eat my breakfast.

When I ate my breakfast, my mom and I were discussing some things until there was a knock on the front door.

"I'll get it," My mom said as she got up from the table.

"Who would be at the door this early?" I ask, but she was already walking towards the door.

I listened closely as she unlocked the door, and opened it.

"Good morning Mrs. Baek, I'm here to return your container for the soup,"

After hearing his voice, I felt a rush of heat going up to my cheeks.

"Ah, kamsamnida, Seokjin." My mom replied. "How'd you like the soup?"

"Well, it was unfortunate that my family ate it all before I even sat down at the dinner table. It was that good. Kamsahamnida, for the delicious meal."

"Oh my! Well now that you told me, I'll make an even bigger pot of the soup for your family." My mom said, and he laughed.

"Are you on your way to school now?"

"Yes I am, but I'm also here for Sumin too. She lost her walking stick yesterday in the pond, so I want to offer her a helping hand, and walk her to school, so I wanted to ask your permission."

"Oh- oh of course you can! Sumin! Seokjin is going to walk you to school!" She called for me, and I hurried and got out of my seat as I reached for my backpack, and headed out.

I came to the door with my mom, and where Jin was.

"Good morning Sumin!" Jin says to me as I walked out with him.

"Good morning," I say quietly.

"Well, now I don't have to worry so much about how I'm suppose to bring you to school, now that Seokjin can take you." My mom says, and smiled at Jin.

"You two have a good day at school, alright?" My mom said as she hugged me. "I won't be at home until later this evening. Your dad might be home when you come home,"

"Alright mom, thanks." I say as I began to walk.

"Have a nice day, Mrs. Baek!" Jin says as we began to depart.

"Thank you, honey! Take care of Sumin for me!" She says, before she closed the door.

We walked together in a short silence after that, until he spoke up.

"I'm sorry I may have startled you this morning," He says and sighed. "I was up thinking last night since I knew you lost your walking stick,"

"Thank you, for offering to walk with me." I say to him, feeling the blush rise to my cheeks.

"No problem. Do you want to hold onto my arm?"

"I'm fine." I say, getting shy.

He chuckled, and there was some silence again.

He then sighed, after a long moment.

"Speaking out of honestly, I'm not surprised that your mom would let me walk with you."

"Well I wonder why. I heard you complimenting her a whole lot. You must be really good on how to make people like you. My mom is an example."

"What? Did your mom talk about me after I left yesterday?"

"Yeah she did. A whole lot, actually. She said that she really liked you and all that."

He chuckled. "And what did you think of that?"

I stopped walking, as I felt the warmness return to my cheeks in a full blush.

He turned around. "Sumin? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing." I say, bowing my head as I walked forward, in a quicker pace.

"Sumin!" He called me all of a sudden, and I didn't know why until I stepped down on a lower pavement, instantly loosing my balance as I started to fall forward.

The feeling of free falling in midair brought back the memories of the accident, and I began to feel very frightened.

He reached forward and grabbed me by my arm, and pulled me back, and into his arms.

"You should be more careful! You nearly tumbled down the stairs-"

I leaned forward, and wrapped my arms around his waist.

I closed my eyes, as I frowned, trying really hard to forget the memories that were long engraved into my brain... and it was no use of course.

"Sumin... are you alright? You're trembling..." He says, and he was right.

I was scarred... and I couldn't help but tremble at the frightening memory of that car accident my sister and I were in.

Realizing that I wasn't alright, Jin was silent for a moment.

I began to feel him wrap his arms around me back, and it completely soothed my nerves.

"It's okay Sumin...it's okay..." He says softly in my ear. He didn't know what was going though my mind, but he was kind enough to comfort me anyways.

And it was when I knew in that exact moment... I had developed feelings for him.
