Here's today update enjoy :))

"Are you getting cold?" he inquired.
"Umm no," I replied, perplexed as to why I had lied.
"Here," he said, wrapping his jacket around me.
Why is he so nice? We don't know each other very well, and yet he is so gracious.
"Do you mind if I ask you a question?" He said it very softly.
"Sure," I said, pulling his jacket over my shoulders.
"Have you ever felt lost in your life?" he wanted to know.
Why is he getting so deep? I was always perplexed. I felt disoriented because my parents were not always present in the house. In comparison to my mother and father, I have a better relationship with my butlers and maids. They aren't always there for me.
They weren't at home when I was a kid, and they still aren't. I was stuck playing with myself with a babysitter. You could say I live a lonely life. I despise my life.
But I can't just tell him my childhood story. We don't know each other yet.
"Yes, I have," I responded.
"Well, as for me, my parents are not supportive of what I want to do in life," he revealed.
"What do you want to be?" I wondered aloud out of curiosity.
"I want to be a singer and perform on stage," he said.
"Simply follow your dreams. Yes, your parents may have disliked you at first, but they will eventually let you... Wait, you can sing?" I expressed my belief that he can sing.
"Yeah, you want to hear me sing?" he asks.
"Umm... Maybe," I replied, my cheeks flushed.
As he began to sing, his voice became angelic and smooth, which I could listen to all day. His voice is hypnotic and pierces through my ears. His soft voice captivates and mesmerises me, making me want to hear more of his singing. His singing voice was clear, and it has a sense of simplicity and confidence, as well as a very natural quality.
"You have a nice voice," I said as he smiles back at me.
That smile makes my heart flutter. I cannot deny that.
"Oh, the rain has stopped... let's go," I said as I looked up at the now-sunny sky, and I grabbed his hands unintentionally, not realising my own reflexes. What was I thinking?
Wait a minute, I'm holding his hand. This is overwhelming. He was smirking at me for some reason. He firmly grasped my hand and pulled me this time.
I looked at him, and he looked back, and the world seemed to come to a halt for a brief moment. His touch makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, and it's how I know he'll keep me safe.
“This is my house, Xiumin,” I said, pointing to the massive mansion in front of us.
“Is this your home?” His eyes widen in surprise.
“What is it that has taken you so by surprise, Xiumin?” I asked.
“No, just that I had no idea you lived such a luxurious lifestyle,” he replied, scratching his neck.
“Well, Xiumin, being rich or wealthy isn't always a good thing...people say it is, but it isn't for me.” Istated, and he just stared at me.
"Take these and put them in the living room," I heard a man's voice from a distance, and I quickly looked up to see my father had returned home from work, so I dragged Xiumin across the street by grabbing his hand and dragging him behind a red car.
"Soo Bin, Why are we hiding?" I put my index finger on his mouth to keep him quiet.
"That's my dad over there, and if he sees me here with you, I'll get scolded by him, so can you promise me to keep this fake relationship a secret from my parents, especially from them?" I asked, looking at the bodyguards and staff who were putting things in the house.
"Why does everything have to be a secret with you?" he asked.
"Perhaps life is always a mystery in my book," I said, still spying on my father.
"What does that mean?" he asked, and I didn't respond.
"I'll tell you later, thanks for everything, Xiumin," I said as I waved goodbye and watched him walk away.

The next day in class
At 3:45 p.m., we, I mean me and Xiumin, were in a dusty old library after school. If you're wondering how I got into this situation, let me explain.
A few minutes ago
“Wake up, Soo Bin, the teacher is on her way?” So Ye said as she attempted to rouse me from my nap. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night.
‘ Huh... oh, ok, Thanks So Ye,” I said as the teacher entered the classroom.
The class went well, but I don't understand any of it because it's biology, and I despise sciences in general.
“ Pay attention, class; you will be paired up for a project... It's up to you what you want to try, but the pairing I chose is clear class?” The teacher stated, and everyone agreed, that the instructions were clear.
The teacher called out names, and I'm hoping to be paired with someone who does their work.
‘ and Soo Bin you will be with Kim Minseok” she said and left the class.
End of flashback
So that's how I ended up here with Xiumin all by myself. I was looking at him as he scribbled something on his notes.
“What is it?” I approached him and questioned.
“A song I'm working on,” he explained as he showed me his song.
“I know it isn't that good,” he admitted, and I completely disagree.
“It's great,” I said, smiling.
We worked on our project until Xiumin fell asleep. When I looked beside me, I noticed his head on the table nodding off. I move closer to him in order to get a better look at his face.
“He's cute when he's sleeping,” I mumbled.
"You think I'm cute," he said as he gently opened his eyes.
