Ji Won couldn’t believe his ears. He
stared at Mina. ‘Did she just offer him
a place to stay?’
“Ji Won?” Mina asked as she waved
a hand in front of his face. “Are you
okay?”
Ji Won shook his head and snapped out of it.
She placed her hand on his knee. “Oppa,
I asked if you want to stay in my room for tonight?”
Ji Won was so touched that he felt his heartache.
No one had ever cared about him so much but
he didn’t want to feel as though he owed
her. “No thanks.”
Mina looked at him with her big sad eyes. “Please
oppa? I’m afraid of the dark.” Ji
Won smiled. He knew she was lying so he would
say yes. For the first time in his life, Ji
Won felt warm inside because now he is wanted.
He let out a sigh.
“Aigo Mina, okay. You talked me into it.
But just for tonight though.”
She giggled and nodded.
“Okay.”
Silently, I led Ji Won into my room. My room
was small and luckily, it was far away from
my parents so they can’t hear much. I
let Ji Won have the bed while I take the floor.
‘Damn,’ I thought. ‘Why does
the floor have to be so cold and hard?’
Ji Won stared down at Mina who was trying
to sleep on the cold stone floor. He picked
her up easily and lifted her onto the bed.
“Oppa? What are you doing?” I whispered
as my eyes grew wide.
“Do you trust me?” he asked.
I nodded my head slowly.
“Good,” he said. “This bed
is small but it’ll fit both of us.”
My eyes grew wider at what Ji Won had just said.
But I had just told him that I trust him. I
couldn’t take my words back so I had no
choice but to sleep with him. We both got in
my bed and slept side-by-side. I was so nervous,
I couldn’t sleep. Ji Won, on the other
hand, had no problem. He fell asleep instantly.
I turned my head over to look at him. His
face was so innocent like an angel when he was
sleeping. Who would have thought he was such
a devil when he’s awake and moving?
An hour had passed and it was 3’ in the
morning. I still couldn’t sleep. Suddenly
something weird happen. Ji Won turned his entire
body around and did a 360, kicking me.
“Ow!” I cried out but covered my
mouth so my parents wouldn’t hear me.
When he was done, he had this happy look on
his face. At first I thought he was just playing
with me but he really did do a 360 in his sleep.
Suddenly he reached over and held me tight.
My entire body went tense and rigid. I could
feel Ji Won’s light breathing on my neck.
