Barista 18

I woke up to the sound of something tapping on my window. I'm currently at home in my parents house. After the burial, I missed being home so instead of going back to my unit with lisa, I went here instead.

I sat up and took my mask off and furrowed my brows as the tapping continues. I turned my lamp on and checked the time. It's eleven-thirty in the evening. I was kind of scared to check outside cause who knows what's out there.

I stood up and hesitantly peeked behind my curtain and gasped, fully opening my window and looked down at the handsome dork grinning at me. "Rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair."

I laughed "You do know what time it is right?" I ask, leaning on my window sill.

"Why, it's the time to see the most beautiful girl I've ever met"

"Liar." I chuckled and moved away as he heaved himself up my window, using a overturned pot to help his height reach it.

"How'd you know I was here?" He was closing back the window and turned to me with smile, pulling me to hug and  I naturally hugged back, enjoying his warmth.

"Lisa." Of course it would be from her

"Is there something wrong?" He shook his head and just continued to hug me

"I just missed you." He murmurs

I pulled away from the hug to stare at him, trying to read his face. He cupped my cheek and his thumb caressed my cheekbone. "Did I wake you?" he whispered

"It's eleven..." I craned my neck back to read the clock, "forty."

"Sorry." I smiled and shook my head and grabbed his hand, pulling him to my bed

"Now can you tell me why you're here?"

"Hmmm..." He held his chin like he was thinking then looked at me and held my hands.

"There's this girl..." I froze for a second. What girl?

"She's been constantly on my mind but she went away and now she's back..." I frowned. He had a girlfriend? But I remember him telling me it was like a long time ago when he had a relationship... Is that who he's pertaining to? Are they getting back together?

"I wanted to see her as soon as she got back so I went to her place and found out she's not there. So I drove all the way to see her cause I can't not see her for any second longer." he smirked and when realization dawned on me his smirk turn to a full grin as he chuckles

"Aish YA!" I slapped his chest and he laughed, catching my hands and pulling down to the bed.

"For a second there I thought an ex came back and you're getting back together!" I glared and he laughed, hovering above me.

"That scared you?" He teased

I looked away and said "No. whoever she is I'm prettier than her. You said so yourself."

He held my chin to make me look back at him and I closed my eyes, anticipating a kiss when I felt him stripped away from me.

"Oowww owww!" I gasped and sat up seeing him being dragged down my bed by his hair

"Die!! You fucking rapist you fucking pervert!!!"

"Unnie!" I quickly ran to my sister before she can stomp on his precious jewels and held her back "Stop it! I was the one who let him in!"

She stopped struggling and turned to me in confusion "you know him?" I nodded

"I thought I heard something so I came to check and saw you sleeping and I saw it with my own eyes! that guy was going to kiss you!" she shrieked

I blushed profusely in embarrassment whether from my sister or from jimin, I don't know. "I-I was awake. You don't kiss with your eyes open you know..." I squeaked, my voice getting lower and lower.

My sister just stared at me in awe and we hear a clearing of throat and turned to jimin who was kneeling down, his hands curled up to a fist on his lap and he bowed deeply. "Annyeonghaseyo, Jimin-imnida" he then gave her a tight-lipped smile

The three of us just stared at each other silently when I hear my parents voice. My sister and I looked at each other wide-eyed. "Hide! Ppali!" My sister quickly pulled jimin up and pushed him in my closet while I grabbed my guitar and sat on my bed cross-legged

The door opened and we acted as if we just got caught having a mini concert and shut up. "Aigoo, roseanne, alice! What time do you think it is? I thought something happened." My mom shook her head

"I don't know if I should be happy our house is noisy in the middle of the night with both of you back." Dad scratched his head with a chuckle "Go to sleep and just continue that tomorrow."

"Neh appa." We stood up to hug our parents goodnight before they go back to their room. We both sighed in relief and I ran to my closet and see jimin curled up at the corner. "You can come out now." He crawled out and I scratched my brow, formally introducing him to my older sister.

"So you're my *dongsaeng's namja-chingu?" Jimin and I looked at each other and he bit his lips, looking down (*younger sibling's boyfriend)

"We're... getting there?" I cringed. Jimin and I haven't really talked about our relationship status

My sister scoffed "Ya, are you just playing with my sister?" Jimin's head snapped up at her and I gasped "unnie!" i whined

"What? Ya, I'm warnferuihgfr hmmp!!" I covered my sister's  mouth and dragged her outside my room

"Unnie." She slapped my hands away

"I know what I'm getting myself into ok?" I assured her and she rolled her eyes, huffing

"You're old enough to make your own decisions but I'm just looking out for you cause I've been there chae. I've been with someone who's afraid to have commitments. You'd only end up getting hurt with people like those." I smiled

"Remember our favorite Bob Marley quote?" she chuckled

"The truth is, everyone's going to hurt you." I started "You just gotta find someone worth suffering for." we finished together

"And he's your someone?" I nodded.

"I honestly don't know where this will lead us, but I know I'll cherish the time I spent with him, even if it will just become a memory someday. It could be a painful one, but it doesn't change the fact that it made me happy once."
