Hyuna fidgets and groans as she forces herself to wake up. She presses her eyelids to open them up. Her eyes flew open and milky white

stared right back at her. Her heart was thumping irregularly. Because a lingering hand was on her hip. HAND. ON. HIP. Her mind alerted. 

Her breathing escalates as she recalls falling asleep after Junhyung wiped her tears and accompanied her to sleep. But she did not say anything

about sharing beds? Especially with a man she barely know-and has feelings for. 

" J-J-Junhyung oppa.... " She stutters, taking his hand and removing it.

He doesn't respond. Hyuna bites her lower lip. He must've watched her sleep, she thought. As erted as that sounds, she felt strangely safe

and lucky a rich guy like him is willing to waste his time watching over a blind girl. Instead of getting down, Hyuna turns on her side so that

she knows she's facing him directly. Heart on her fingertips, she softly caresses his face. Picturing a canvas and painting his image on her own.

A smooth forehead with his fringes covering it. A tall nose... smooth cheeks and- lips. Her heart jumped into and she pulled back

immediately. And swallowed. Hard. With a single touch she knows his lips are moderately lush and smooth. Feeling herself reddening and

heating, she covers her face and mutters angrily at herself.

" Don't get too head over heels! You're just a momentary girlfriend living in his house! " She firmly reminds herself. 

"Why are you chanting to yourself?" His lazy morning voice sending tingles all over her body. 

" I'm not chanting. " She shakes her head.

" Do you have an allergic reaction to something? Your whole face is red. " He asks curiously.

 Yeah I do. You. Hyuna answers mentally. She muttered something of a protest and hastily distanced herself. 

Junhyung dazedly got up on an elbow and eyed her. " Are you... uncomfortable with me? " He swallows a snicker.

Hyuna's eyes went wide and she fervently shakes her head, looking elsewhere but in his direction. She scrambled around for her stick and

made her way to the bathroom. Junhyung laughs and lies on his back again.

•

Mr Yong drums his fingers and leans back in his chair. In front of him was a profile of Kim Hyuna. He could've sworn he has seen her before

somewhere. But a younger version of her. The name sounds awfully familiar, too. It seems that she was blind since 7.... Her parents recently

left her. What kind of parents leave their blind child alone to the money lenders?

"They might as well not be her parents, " He muttered.

He browsed through more notes like how she didn't go to school for years now and rarely brought out. 

" Some really weird parents. " He shook his head and thought of Junhyung whom he would never do that to.

Next he opened an envelope with photos from her childhood. His blood stopped cold as the first picture stared at him. It was a blind young

Hyuna laughing. He shot up in his seat. He has definitely seen her before. This girl. One of his close friends who ran away after they had a

daughter because his family disapproved of their marriage. His heart was beating fast. As if the world was telling him something he couldn't

grasp.

" Did you two really abandon your child? " He whispers.

•
Hyuna comes out of the bathroom to the smell of barbecue sauce and something delicious. " Are you cooking, Jun oppa? " She smiles.

He grins, turning his head to see her. " Grilling chicken . Want to join? " He says.

Hyuna widens her eyes. " I've never.... done that before.... " She whispers. The sound of the meat grilling and the smell wafting around the

house makes her stomach grumble. 

" Wow it sounds fun. " She remarks.

Junhyung laughs, " You know normally people would say the food cooking smells good. Not fun. " He teases.

Hyuna gives a sheepish grin. " Can I try? " She asks.

Junhyung takes his apron off and puts it around her, his hands linger on her hips for a moment. Hyuna laughs and was amazed most of the

time when she turned the chicken over and the grill sizzled. Junhyung held his hand over her small one and patiently taught her how to turn

the chicken over. Soon, they ate the BBQ chicken with other grilled meat with a soup. 

" Hyuna... I have something to tell you. " He leans forward in his chair. Hyuna raises her head and raises her eyebrows curiously.

" I hired some people to track your parents. Is that okay? I figured you need them to explain. " Junhyung says.

Hyuna stops eating midway and smiles slowly. " I'm grateful. Thank you... " She says sincerely.

He reaches over and ruffles her hair, chuckling. Grinning, Hyuna sips on her soup. 

" Someone is really lovey-dovey today. " Yoseob says loudly, coming out of his room. 

" Married,"  Kiwang coughed. Hyuna shakes her head, smiling through eating.

" Shut up. " Junhyung says lazily.

" We weren't talking about you though. " Yoseob jeers, pouring himself some juice. Junhyung flamed red, Hyuna giggles. 

" Can you please be annoying somewhere else? " He sighs.

" Can you please be annoying somewhere else? "  The other two guys mimicks him.

Hyuna bursts out laughing. Before Junhyung could take action, someone buzzed their intercom.

" Who comes here in the morning?" Kikwang mumbles. All of them craned their necks to see the who was at the intercom all the way across

the living room.

Junhyung's face darkens. " My dad."

•

Hyuna swings her legs over the ledge. The wind blows hard on her but she knows she won't fall.

" Hey," Junhyung says, settling down beside her.

Hyuna looks up, he was blocking the sun. Her white vision was cloudy. It was his silhouette. Hyuna lowers her chin and smiles. She could

always make him out.

" What did your father want? " She asks.

Junhyung sighs. " He wanted to help. With finding your parents." Hyuna blinks. Her way of showing she's surprised.

" Yes. I know, weird. " He agrees.

" But why? " She whispers.

Junhyung shrugs. " He wants to have dinner. Just the three of us. " He adds. Hyuna opens to ask.

" It seems like he's okay with us. Together. " Junhyung explains. She nods slowly, the butterflies sinking in. 

" What will happen after this? When you do find my parents. Will I still be living with you?" She asks timidly. Swinging her legs. 

Do you want to? Junhyung silently thought.

" I.... haven't thought about that yet. But it seems appropriate for you to do so. Don't you think... you and I just got to know each other. " He

trails off.

Hyuna's face fell. " You're right... we're still strangers after all. "

The two went silent. Junhyung gazes at her from the corner of his eyes. Her hair a curtain over her face as she kept it down. Is she sad? He

thought guiltily.

" Just so you know, " He nudges her with his shoulder. " I would love to have  you as a girlfriend for real. " He smiles.

Hyuna feels blood rushing to her face and keeps her face down, pressing her lips together to hold back a smile. That night, Hyuna had a

dream. A coloured dream. Not a blurred one or one from her memories. It was vivid. She was falling, she couldn't recognise where she was

but it was familiar. Someone hovered over her, holding her as she fell. His hands were strong and held her waist carefully. She strained her

eyes to see. But she couldn't. Then she landed on soft land. He was still there, looking at her. For the longest time, her heart was beating like

crazy. He was simply just looking at her. Then, her stomach swoops, he lowers himself just a few inches above her face. She could see.

Colours. Painted. It was someone she doesn't know but painfully familiar. His face was serious and pained. Before she could blow her cover

of being asleep, he leans in and presses his lips on hers. Warm and light. He rid her of her breath. He was someone she felt connected to. Her

heart banged against his. That nose, lips....

Could it be.... Junhyung oppa?
