Chapter 7 - Return the favor

Jisoo couldn’t sleep and kept on rolling on the couch.

Yes.. she doesn’t know if she’s in her right mind either..

She came over Professor Kim’s place in the end..

No one will know anyway.. and what if they know? It isn’t like they did something wrong..

Professor Kim was just too kind to offer his couch to her student who doesn’t have a bed to sleep on..

Well.. that sounded weird.. and a little inappropriate..

Still.. Professor Kim didn’t come out of his room again after washing up.. he must not want her to feel uncomfortable..

But why can’t she sleep? Why is her mind keeping her awake?

She sighed as she stared at the ceiling.

It isn’t even the first time she slept at a man’s house.. didn’t she used to sleep over Jhope’s house in the past?

They even shared the room a couple of times..

But why is she damn nervous now?

She closed her eyes tight.

She needs to sleep or else she will keep on thinking of useless things..

She was forcing herself to sleep when she heard the door to Taehyung’s bedroom open.

Is he still awake? Wasn’t he asleep already? Why did he come out?

She got up and turned the lamp on.

Taehyung was startled to see she was still awake.

It was past midnight already..

“Did I wake you up?” he asked softly.

Jisoo shook her head.

“Aren’t you able to sleep either?” she asked as she went into a sitting position.

Taehyung nodded.

Strangely.. he can’t seem to sleep tonight..

He finished revising three chapters already but he wasn’t feeling sleepy yet..

“The couch must be uncomfortable.. I told you to just sleep on the bed..” he said approaching her with a glass of water. “Have some..”

Jisoo cleared her throat.

Sleeping on his bed might leave her awake all night!

She bowed her head a little as she held the glass with her hands.

“Thank you..” she said gently.

Taehyung sat on the floor.
