Jeong-Hui

It's been a week since I went to the cat cafe with Dong-Min and ever since that day a feeling of dread and pain has washed over me.

I woke up my eyes drooping and my muscles aching all over. I laid there in bed not ready to get up an uncomfortable headache throbbing across my eyebrow area. Even after sleeping for 8 hours I still felt exhausted and like I only had 2 hours of sleep. 

BEEP BEEP

I looked at my phone seeing a text message from Dong-Min, instead of being excited like I usually am I looked at my lock screen uninterested. I walked into my restroom rinsing my face with cold water causing me to flinch from my throbbing head. I walked to my kitchen stretching to allow as many knots to unfold as possible but not succeeding. 

Why does everything hurt?

I opened the fridge looking at the food uninterested, the food looked good but I had no interest in eating it. It made me feel nothing so I walked to my closet where there were so many outfits but none appealed to me. 

For the longest time, I had losing began losing interest, I just kept going. Right now though, I felt more hopeless than ever before, I had no interest in even eating. I had work in the morning but even work couldn't motivate me to do anything. I just ended up on my couch sleeping more.

KNOCK KNOCK

I woke up hearing knocking on my door, my muscles and head aching. I walked over to the door my muscles aching all over. I opened the door shocked.

"Dong-Min? What are you doing here?" I asked now embarrassed about my appearance. 

"Oh. I went to your job and you weren't there so I just came here..." he said blushing a little.

"Oh... so do you want to come inside or..." I asked awkwardly.

"Okay..." he said staring at me trying his hardest to not look away with made me feel both really awkward and confused.

"Just sit on the couch I'll get us some tea," I pointed at the couch.

"Okay but you should probably change first," he mumbled completely red and looking away from me.

"Oh right!" I quickly ran to my room really embarrassed. It was really hot yesterday so I wanted to wear something light, so I wore spandex shorts and a loose crop-top. 


I came back with black leggings and an oversized bubblegum pink crewneck sweater. I walked to the kitchen trying discreetly to take a small peek at Dong-Min which I failed miserably. I went over to boil some water getting the tea ready.

"Dong-Min?" I ask. I walked to my living room looking around to see Dong-Min looking at some pictures. "Dong-Min?" I ask again.

"Yes?" he turned around confused.

"What are you doing?" 

"I was just looking at your pictures," he pointed at my shelf which contained pictures and books.

"Yah... don't look at those pictures... they're cringey," I mumbled.

"No, they're really cute," he said looking at me, his cheeks turning a slight pink.

"Just sit down," I turned around hiding my red face.

"Ok," he cheerfully smiled.

I went back to the kitchen grabbing the now finished tea and walking towards Dong-Min. I put the tea on the coffee table giving a cup to Dong-Min and I.

"Thank you for the tea," he smiled.

"Of course," I smiled back. We made eye contact and wow.

How is can someone so handsome be alive?

"Jeong-Hui, can we watch a movie?" Dong-Hui asked taking me out of my trance.

"Sure, what movie do you want to watch?" I asked embarrassed by thinking my best friend was so attractive.

"I'm okay with any movie."

"Ok," I got the remote putting Netflix on my television.


Halfway through the movie, I felt Dong-Min's head on my shoulder, I turned to see him sleeping peacefully. I smiled as I moved a strand of his hair to keep away from his gorgeous eyes. Trying my best not to move a lot, I got a blanket that was beside me and covered Dong-Min with it.

"Sleep tight handsome," I chuckled my cheeks heating up.

My eyes drooped as I fell asleep seeing Dong-Min small smile as he slept peacefully.

In this chapter, I didn't put a flashback and for the rest of the chapters I most likely won't put flashbacks. The story's also coming to an end which makes me sad and relieved because I'm really busy from school but I love writing this. 

In the previous chapter, I wrote that I got the All Night album which was such an emotional day and my friend for my birthday bought me the white version. So now I not only have the green version but I have the white version too! So I'm extra happy. 

Anyways Stan Talent, Stan Astro, support underrated idols! Thanks for reading! Cya <3
