Almost immediately after the kiss, smoke invaded my room once again, but escaped through the window.
I now had two cats in my house. I almost forgot one of them was Jungwon, I was almost about to get lost in their cuteness before snapping out of it. I couldn't help but feel a mix of annoyance and frustration toward him as I kicked him out of my house. I grabbed both of the cats, placing them outside my window. The random cat just left while Jungwon stayed.
"Go," I demanded, looking at Jungwon with an annoyed glare. He looked at me with a sassy expression before walking into the distance and soon out of my vision.
It was a bizarre encounter that left me questioning the nature of the boundaries we had established. While I valued our connection and understood that Jungwon was in a difficult situation, I couldn't bring myself to fulfill his unusual request. It was a moment that highlighted the complexities of our relationship and emphasized the need for communication and respect.

The Next Day
With a heavy sigh, I turned the key in the lock, the click resounding in the empty hallway. As the door closed behind me, I couldn't help but feel a pang of loneliness. My parents were constantly on business trips, leaving me to navigate the vast expanse of our home by myself. They made an effort to visit at least once a month, but it wasn't enough. The absence of their presence weighed heavily on my heart.
It had become such a problem that my parents decided to get a new apartment in the state they were currently working in. Technically, I still lived in this house, but it felt more like a hollow shell, devoid of the warmth and laughter that once filled its rooms. I was left to fend for myself, treading the path of independence at a young age.
But as I walked along the sidewalk, the street lamps casting a soft glow, a glimmer of hope flickered within me. The school was just ahead, its familiar silhouette providing a sense of comfort. I was lucky to live so close, allowing me to escape the emptiness of home and immerse myself in the world of education and friendships.
A smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I neared the school grounds. The thought of Jungwon crossed my mind, and I couldn't help but wonder how far he lived from here. It was a fleeting notion, a curiosity that danced within my thoughts. What if he didn't make it home yesterday? A wave of guilt washed over me as if I had somehow failed in my duty to ensure his safety. But I quickly dismissed the thought, shaking off the concern that threatened to consume me.
"Why am I worried about him?" I asked myself, my voice barely a whisper in the crisp air. "He knows how to get home safely, I presume." It was a feeble attempt to convince myself that my concern was unwarranted. After all, we were just acquaintances, connected only through our roles as captains. There was no reason for me to fret over his well-being.
And yet, as I continued my journey towards the school, my mind couldn't help but wander back to Jungwon. There was something about him, an enigmatic aura that captured my attention. It was as if our paths were destined to intertwine, to collide in unexpected ways. But I pushed those thoughts aside, determined to focus on the tasks at hand.
With each step, the weight of my solitude lessened, replaced by a sense of purpose. The school was my sanctuary, a place where I could immerse myself in knowledge and escape the empty corridors of my home. As I entered the bustling hallways, the energy of the students enveloped me, filling the void within my heart.
I knew that the road ahead would be challenging, filled with obstacles and uncertainties. But at that moment, as I stood amidst the sea of faces, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, amidst the chaos and solitude, there was a chance for connection, for friendships to blossom and fill the void that resided within me. And maybe, just maybe, Jungwon held the key to unlocking the door to a world that I had longed for. Only time would tell.
