I panted heavily as we sat down. "Your family is crazy." "Huh...?" What did he mean? "I'm joking. Want water?" "Yes, please. Oh god, please." He slid off his seat then went to purchase water. He handed it to me then rested his head on his arm while watching.

"Feel better?" "Definitely." I handed him the bottle and he swiftly took huge sips. "So much better..." I did the same as Eric then sighed. "Will they come for me again?" "Possibly. Your aunt is missing as well." "What?" He nodded. "Stay with me."

"I don't know. Someone has to watch the place." He laced his fingers with mine, a gesture I had grown used to doing with him. "Please? I won't be able to rest easy without knowing you're okay..." "Okay..." I felt warm and fuzzy inside. What was I experiencing at this moment?

I felt a bit high, just casually holding his hand. "Eric..." "Listening." "I feel so light." "Funny, so do I." I swung our arms as we lazily looked at each other. "We should get going." "Yeah..." We got up from our seats, and I found myself being caught by Eric.

"Can't you get up from a seat correctly?" "Sorry." I pulled away then frowned. What was it? My mood had fell slightly. We walked side by side as we made our way to wherever he was taking us to get back home. "Eric, can I try something?"

"Try what?" I fidgeted as we continued to walk. "Just, something..." He stopped. "What is it?" I pulled him close to me then kissed him. He pushed me away. "What the hell Sunwoo?" "I..." He walked away in anger. I placed my hand over my heart. The kiss felt good.

The trip back was spent mostly in silence due to what I did earlier. The sun was beginning to set as we were in the home stretch. "Sunwoo." I quietly looked at him. "Sorry." "For?" "Pushing you so hard..." I nodded then looked back out the window.

I then realized I never grabbed my phone, wherever it was. All my contacts, apps, notes, etc. gone. "What's wrong?" "I don't have my phone." "Here. I found it underneath knives in a drawer." "Why were you looking in a knife drawer...?" "Reasons."

I thanked him then slipped it into my pocket. I closed my eyes in hopes of getting rest.

I woke up then saw Eric looking seriously at his phone. "What's wrong?" "We can't go home tonight." "Why...?" "Seunghyun sent this." He showed me the photo. "Oh..." "I'm sure Jorin has space..." "Chisoo." "Who?" "My ex." I noticed his brief frown.

"Her parents still like me, I'm sure they'll let us stay over." I gave her a call in hopes that they'd let us stay.

We arrived at her door then waited for someone to open it. "Sunwoo, you're okay!" I caught her in my arms and she hugged me. "Yes, I am." "Can we come in or not?" I frowned at Eric's impatience. "You can go inside." He shoved past us in a huff.

"What's his deal?" "Don't know." I followed her in then smiled. The place hadn't changed. "Oh, let me show you something." She dragged me to her room. "Ta-da!" "Wow. You really did some spring cleaning..." "Turns out I was hoarding things I didn't need. Now it's gone."

I felt bitter. Why was she clinging to him like that? Why did he let her? He never does that to me. I frowned. I shouldn't be talking. I don't do it either. Seeing her makes me upset. Seeing them together hurts me. I threw a throw pillow at the wall.

"Eric, come!" "Coming!" She opened a door then motioned for us to go in. "Wow, you changed the interior huh?" And they were soon back to discussing things I had no interest in. "Holler if you need anything." She closed the door behind herself. "I'm taking the floor."

I took the blanket and a pillow then lied down on the floor. "Eric..." "Leave me be." I felt an arm drape over me. "I'm sleeping wherever you sleep." "So if I decide to sleep for eternity in water, you'll join me?" "Yes." I turned around to face him. "You're insane."

"Maybe I am, but so are you." I turned back around. He turned me back. "Stop that." "No." He scooted closer to me. My heart was beating heavily. I wanted it to stop. "Sunwoo..." He hummed in response. He was looking at me expectantly. I cupped his face then kissed him.

I didn't know what I was doing. My mind and body were working against each other. He pulled me closer and deepened it. I felt as if my heart would explode. I couldn't handle it. I pulled away. "I'm sorry..." I quickly stood up and left the room. I was so confused.

"Hey, are you going out?" "Yeah." I put on my shoes then dabbed at my eyes as I left.

I gently touched my lips then sat up. He kissed me. I couldn't believe it. My heart had beat wildly. It was then I had become aware of what I was feeling. These were the same feelings I had when I fell for Chisoo. I was falling for Eric. A male.

I quickly left the room then sought out Chisoo. "Hey, what's the rush?" "Where did Eric go?" "He went out. I don't know why..." I hurried to the front door then put on my shoes. "Don't you need-" I closed the door behind me. "...a jacket..."
