Comeback
Rewind the TimeNam soon woke up with a loud growl that morning. Still feeling a tiny bit of sleepiness, his eyes roam over his not-so-neat room. His face turned grimaced immediately. Out of nowhere, he feels suffocated. Grunting, he kicks off the duvet over his lower half and dragged his sore body to the bathroom.
Once he was undressed, he stands still in front of the square mirror and study his own reflection. A loud sigh escape. 'Today gonna be a long day'
***
Nam soon crack opened the door of his classroom and looking pissed as ever. The loud noise he could hear a moment ago had quiet down the moment he steps into the classroom. Most of his fellow classmates became frozen and rooted their eyes towards him.
Nam soon would have glared back and even make a vicious comments if he could ignore the throbbing pain in his head. Nam soon hated this. His usual self would have shrugged off the piercing eyes but today something weird has taken over his mind and body. Every tiny unfavourable action could stir the rage inside of him. Annoyed with the fact that he couldn't do very much yelling or even glaring today, he silently walked to his seat. However he was interrupted by Jung Ho when he was passing the delinquent.
"Woah Prez...looked like someone just kick your off" he said out loud and smirked.
Nam soon stopped dead on his track. He studied the figure on his left. The idiotic smirk on Ji hoon's face forced Nam soon to bend over and grabbed the boy by his collar until their faces were only inches apart.
"Why don't I show you how someone who had their kicked look like?"
Jung ho remained silent as he suddenly lose the ability to retort back. But that only lasted for a second. Jung ho doesn't think that Nam soon would actually respond back to his comment because the pale boy usually don't. Though they didn't share any decent relationship, he still could notice that something is off about Go Nam soon. He seems a little perky, unlike his usual non-responsive and care-free behaviour.
"Oh really? I dare you Tsunami!" Jung ho tone down his voice at the nickname as his smirk grow bigger.
Nam soon flinched at the nickname. He squinted his eyes, as he closes the already small distance between him and Jung ho. His raising anger perked up his headache, but he simply toss the feeling of pain away. His anger comes first.
"Try me" Nam soon challenged the other boy dangerously.
The building tension in the classroom was enough for Heung soo to unplugged his earphone and goes next to his best friend.
Heung soo pulled back Nam soon's free hand in attempt to distract him, and prevent the coming argument. It would be nasty if Nam soon started to be all feisty here and now. He's sure Nam soon would not like the idea of seeing the discipline teacher afterward.
"Get the off Jung ho!" Heung soo cursed, glaring at the bully.
However Jung ho seemed unfazed with the threat. "Don't be sissy. Show me what you got Prez" he intervened, ignoring Heung soo completely.
Nam soon could literally feels his blood boiling. He pulls back his hand away from Heung soo's firm grip and aim high to lunge a punch on Jung ho's face.
"Getting so worked up in the morning, aren't we boys" a voice interrupted.
The voice was so familiar that neither Nam soon or Jung ho spare their time checking the owner of the voice.
Heung soo placed his hand on Nam soon's shoulder briefly. After few good seconds and generous amount of glaring, Nam soon let go of his grip on Jung ho's collar reluctantly and drop his other hand down. Heung soo breathe in relief as he think this may be the first time he's so glad to have the homeroom teacher around.
Mr Kang observes the two boys simultenously. "Nam Soon, Jung ho, see me after school today"he paused and motioned them to returned to their respecive seat.
"Miss Jung is not here today. You guys gonna have to deal with me today" the teacher announced, proud and happy, as he stands at his righful place.
Soon after, a disgrunted objection and loud sighs could be hear all over the room.
"Now now class..open your book. We're gonna continue from what we left yesterday"
From his seat, Heung soo didn't pay much attention to the teacher. His eyes are fixed toward certain boy, who is currently had his head down on the table. Heung soo cursed the other boy in his head for his stupid decision to come to school today. He should have know by now that today is one of the day by which he should not enter the school compound. Screw that- Go Nam soon shouldn't be allowed to be around in the public. Why?- Because he is sick. Unlike normal people who had infected with flu or fever, Go Nam soon acts the total opposite when he is sick. On these day, Nam soon's action and mood are so unpredictable that he is worse than a drunk gangster. No one can deal with the sick Nam soon, well, maybe, except him. Feeling worried about his best friend, he secretly send a message to him.
Few minutes passed, but Nam soon doesn't show any movement or even make an effort to retrieve his phone and check the message. 'How bad is his fever this time?' Heung soo couldn't help but to get worry.
And that's how Heung soo ended up staring at Nam soon the whole morning. Luckily Mr Kang didn't catch him in action, or just maybe, he noticed it and decided not to make a fuss over it. Either way, he feels a little better that he got to monitor Nam soon. He was ready to catch him from falling off his chair or to run him over to the infirmatory if he started to make another scene. But luck is in his favour as none of the unwanted things happen so far.
That is when the loud recess bell ringing had stir Nam soon from his deep sleep and it was the first time he looked up from the table since the morning, Looking confused as ever, he runs his fingers through his hear. On cue, Heung soo stands up and goes next to the class president. "Can you get up?" he asked.
Nam soon nod slighly but he felt as if he just banged his head on the wall. With a little help from Heung soo, Nam soon is now standing on his feet.
"You look horrible saekki" Heung soo said softly, just enough for Nam soon to hear. The pale boy then send a death glare, eyes telling 'you-better-shut-up'.
Heung soo suppress a sigh. "You're coming with me..come on" he then said, motioning the sick boy to walk.
Nam soon decided to follow the command without much question. His head is spining and the ground doesn't seem safe to his feet. He feels that he could kiss the floor any time if he doesn't hold onto Heung soo for support.
When they just about to pass the door, Kang joo stopped the boys. "Nam soon-ah..are you alright?" she asked. Worries is written all over her face. She doesn't have the chance the figure out what actually happened this morning due to the continuous class. There's no way he would let the boy go without him telling the truth.
"He will be okay" Heung soo answered instead.
"What happened? Something doesn't feel right.." her hand find Nam soon's and she holds it dearly. "Hey..your palm is so cold..." she paused and observed Nam soon carefully. "..and you're kinda pale..I mean paler than usual.." the girl panicked. Her other hand hurriedly makes it way to Nam soon's forehead.
But Nam soon was quick enough to slap the hand away before it could touch his forehead. "Leave me alone will you!?" he said angrily. He then forced himself to walked away from Kang joo and Heung soo.
Heung soo looked at the girl pitifully. She's just worried, and there's nothing to blame her for. But he also can't say that Nam soon is wrong. Because that's the way he acted whenever he got sick. As much as he doesn't want other people to know, he gives in and whispered, "He's not feeling well"
Kang joo widened her eyes. She stares at Heung soo, surprised with the new piece of information. She wish to ask more and she even plan to run after the sick boy, but when her eyes met Heung soo's, she knows that it should remains secret between them. Sighing, she nodded weakly. "Call me if you need any help. Nam soon got my number" she said at last, as her eyes fixed on Nam soon who is now getting further.
Heung soo responded with a quick nod before he sprints to catch up with Nam soon. Being sick, Nam soon doesn't make it far, so it was an easy task. Once he's beside the sick boy, he pulls his hand, and dragged him toward the stairs. "Rooftop or infirmatory?"
"Rooftop" Nam soon voiced out, almost inaudible.
Heung soo figured that Nam soon would diss the latter option, though he wished the opposite. Silently, he helps Nam soon to go up the stairs, floor by floor until they arrived at the rooftop. Luckily, Nam soon doesn't protest having a foreign arm wrapping his waist in the school compound. Either he's too tired to say anything back or it was a needy measure to keep him on the ground, Heung soo was not sure.
Slowly, Heung soo helps Nam soon to sit and leaned him against the wall, before he takes off his jacket and wear it on Nam soon. "Idiot!..do you have to come today?" Heung soo asked, as he takes a place besides his best friend. There was a worry and a squint of anger in his question.
Silent.
Heung soo sighed. He scooted closer before he switched their position. Nam soon is now sitting between Heung soo's leg, with his body leaning against Heung soo's chest.
"Did you take any medicine?" Heung soo whispered into Nam soon's ears, as he tighten his arms around Nam soon's frail burning body.
"Couldn't find any" Nam soon moved a bit to make himself more comfortable. He started to like the warmth radiating from Heung soo's body. It feels nice against his burning body and the weird coldness he's been feeling.
"Pabo! You could have stayed home and inform me. I'll bring anything you need" Heung soo couldn't help but to give a little lecture to his sick idiotic friend. Yet, he keeps his voice low. He knows way too well that Nam soon would not appreciate a loud noise now.
"Even my mom?" Nam soon whispered. His chest tighthen, remembering his late mother. She is a gentle person. A great woman. He loves everything about her. But, she left too soon, leaving him alone in this lonely cruel world.
The reqeust makes Heung soo's heart drop. He could only snuggles closer to his friend. He should have pick his word wiser. But the truth is, he doesn't see it coming. Nam soon rarely brings up the topic. It's more like he's avoiding the topic. As if he doesn't want to remember her and that incident. "Should we go visit her later?" Heung soo asked softly.
"I rather not" the answer comes back weakly.
Heung soo was at lost. He doesn't like where this conversation going. He definitely doesn't want to put Nam soon in awkward position and torment him mentally. "Hey..do you want to eat anything? I'll go get it quickly.." Heung soo asked this time. He tries to brighten up his voice.
"I don't feel like eating" the pale boy refused. His eyes are feeling heavy again. "Can you be my human bed?" he found himself asking unconsciously.
The question sound weird in Heung soo's ear for sure. Heck, he doesn't even sure if he hear it right. But then again, it may be just the sick talking.
"Wanna head home?" Heung soo suggested.
"I got some stupid meeting afterward. School trip planning" Nam soon whined.
"Oh..that's why you came.." Heung soo paused, before continue, "..then let's just skip the class. I'll watch over you and you can take a nap. You definitely can't go into a meeting like this. Who knows what will you do or say" Heung soo rolled his eyes, trying to imagine how the meeting would be like, and he doesn't get a very good picture. It ended up pretty bad in his mind.
Nam soon let out a heartly laugh. "I'm weird whenever I'm sick" he admitted.
"You called it weird? It's insane if you wanna get the word right, saeeki" Heung soo mocked.
"What the hell? You're mean!" Nam soon pouted. He's glad Heung soo couldn't see it. It would be embarrassing for sure. But a little part in him wish the other boy could see it.
Heung soo blushed. 'Cute!'he thought to himself. "No matter how weird or insane you are, I love you for the person you are. All the good and bad" Heung soo whispered sweetly. He himself doesn't know why he said it in the first place, at time like this somemore, but he meant each and every word. He could only hopes that Nam soon would see the meaning behind it. But still, he doesn't put his hope too high, this Go Nam soon is so dense about these thing.
Nam soon could feel his blood rushing, painting his face red. He could feel the heat all over, up to his ear. He desperately prays they won't be so noticeable. "Y-you started to sound w-weird..! Did you pick up my fever?" Nam soon tried to joke, showing that the little confession doesn't get on him, - but hell it did- coz his heart is now beating so out of rhythm. With Heung soo embracing him oh so tightly, he doesn't know how to hide his mixed feelings- nervous, embarrass, excited.
Heung soo tried hard to contain the laugh. 'He is definitely cute' "Enough talking, saekki. Now, sleep if you wanna function well for the meeting" he said sternly.
"Arasso!" Nam soon replied, his eyes already closed. Heung soo was right- he needs this sleep. Or he might do something regretful later. Well, it's no guarantee that he will behave normally, but at least, feeling fresh and less tired might have some effect on the boring long meeting later.
Minutes later, Heung soo could hear soft snore coming from Nam soon. He smiles satisfied. He stares at the boy contently. He loves the feeling of having the boy in his arms. "Stay like this...with me...together...forever...my love" Heung soo whispered to the sleeping boy. He spends some times staring at the pale boy, before he carefully get his phone and send a message to his sister. Just a small easy request. He smiles a bit. 'Say hi to your doctor again'

"It's been so long, honey" the middle-aged man bend down, putting a bouquet of white lily in front of a tomb. It looked worn out and so distanced- as if it was long abandoned. A pang of guilt pierce through the man's heart. "Am I too late?" he paused, and sat down. His eyes didn't leave the tomb. Maybe he thought if he stares hard enough, he will be able to see her face again, even for a second long is enough. He just needed to see her again. Just maybe then, he will be able to gather some courage to meet this person. The person he promised to protect and loves- his one and only son.
Pulling off a couple of lilies, he holds it dearly in his hand. "Would you still believe me if I say I love you, Shin Ae-ah?" the man touchs the petal lightly. "I do..i truly do. Always" he paused and blinked away his tears. He won't cry, he can't. Shin Ae doesn't need these tears. "I broke my promise..I failed to protect you and I didn't do anything to stop our son from breaking. How broken he must have felt..I can't tell..but it was unfair for him.." he paused again. ".. I regretted the path I took when I was young. But because of that path, I got to meet you.." the man chuckled, but it sounded dry and lifeless. "..irony, right?..." hot tears flows down. It was unstoppable. He wanted to be strong, or at least to look strong, but he just doesn't have the strength to. For ten years, he lives hiding, away from his son, away from the world. He's trying to run from the reality. FIrst few years may be okay, everything seemed fine and normal on the surface, but he can't fool himself forever. On day, he just woke up and realization hit him hard on the face. He laughed out loud for his stupidity and all the wasted years. That was when he decided to revenged for his wife and claimed back his son, and maybe, just maybe, if he could accept him again, he would love to start the family again. They may reduced in number, but he's determined to make up for all the lost time. This time, he will do anything to be the best father.
"Shin Ae-ah..I've wronged you terribly..so..don't ever forgive me..but..I hope..you won't regret our time together. I know this sounds selfish..but I hope..of all the pain and troubles I've caused you, you still have some good memory of me.." he carress the tomb and forced a smile.
"I'll get going..this time..I'll make it right.." he promised. "..you can count on me this time.." he paused and placed his hand on the tomb. "..thank you for taking care of Nam soon from above, my love.." he kissed the tomb. With one final look, he turned around and head out from the cemetary feeling better- never better than before. Clutching his fist, he swore that he won't mess up for the second time.

"We're here Sir" the driver said, eyeing his master from the rearview mirror. He gulped nervously, hands clutching the steering wheel tightly.
"Oh..is it..?" Jin hyuk smiles, but it's nothing near a 'normal' smile you can usually see- it gives you creep and a sense of danger, like a bad omen.
Jin Hyuk looked up for the first time since he boarded the car. He kissed the tip of his newly polished Ruger Vaquero, before putting away the tools he's been using to polish his baby. Keeping the revolver hidden behind his black coat, Jin Hyuk steps out from the car.
"Alright now, where is your house, my dear Nam soonie" the boss mumbles, as he walked down the beaten pathway to Nam soon's neighbourhood. With a small piece of paper between his fingers as the only guide, he let himself wanders around the foreign place, in attempt to search for a particular house.
Call him a stalker or anything, but Jin hyuk is the type that won't stop when he had a target on something. Now, here he is, in front of a house, quite old to his judgement, smiling , alone, like an idiot. It took him some time to find it. But once he's rooted in front of his object of interest, he could feel a little joy ignites inside of him.
"So, you live here, huh?" he placed his palm on the door. "Alone?" he stares hard into the closed door. 'I've been alone in my life too' he bites his lips, regretting a face that he missed cames inside his mind.
"Hhmmm..I'm tempted to go inside.." he mumbles, trying to focus his mind back to the present. His other hand twists the knob for few times. Of course, the door won't magically opened by its own, or by his will. "..what a pity...I wanna see your bedroom..." he said disappointedly.
Not knowing what he could do, Jin hyuk then leaned against the door frame and let his eyes go wild. Nothing around him could bring out his interest. The neighboorhood is pretty much quiet and he doesn't see any passerby. Furthermore, Nam soon is still at school, which was why he chose this time to do a little spying. He's sure that Nam soon will go mad to see him around after that incident.
He was going to stay a little bit longer, but he's quick to notice an approaching passerby from the opposite direction. Don't want to looks suspicious, he moved from the spot and hide himself behind a lamp pole at the corner, not too far from Nam soon's house.
At first, he thought that the man was just going to pass by and go somewhere else, but that doesn't happen. Instead, the man is now standing in front of Nam soon's house, taking his previous spot. "Who could that be?" JIn hyuk asked himself, eyeing the man seriously. From his position, Jin hyuk couldn't see his face, but only his back. He gritted his teeth. He doesn't expect to see an unwanted visitor at Nam soon's house. But then, even if he did see the face, there's no way he could figures out who's the person immediately, not that he's related to Nam soon or knows the boy personally.
[Go Seo jeon's pov]
I'm finally here- my house. I took some time to stare into the closed door. 'The outer appeared to be the same, would the inside too?' I asked myself silently.
After minutes of fidgeting and few more more thought, I finally decided to unlocked the door. However, I'm disappointed to find that the key couldn't fit in. I still tried though, but of course it wouldn't change a fact that I can't unlock the door. I figured that Nam soon must have change it some time ago. I sighed.
"Guess I have to wait to meet you Nam soon-ah. Dad will come again..soon. I promise!" I keep back the key and with one final look, I retreated and leave the place.
(end of pov)
JIn hyuk's face harden when he caught a glimpe of the visitor's face when the man walked pass his hideout. He unconsciously brought his hand to reach the revolver. He gripped it tight. He had this urge to jump on the man and shot a bullet through his head.
Jin hyuk's eyes follow the man hungrily. His mind is in haze; the past and present are jumbled up, making him go crazy. 'That man...that bastard!! I will hunt you down..for good!'

"So guys..good to see you on time" Mr Kang said, eyes glancing at the clock. Nam soon just rolled his eyes, as he and Ha kyung walked to the empty chairs.
"Why don't we do this discussion straight with the others?" Nam soon asked, once seated. His voice is normal and he's still under control. But hey, they just got started. Wait until he has to starts arguing with this litlle devil. But anyhow, his head feels better, thanks to his new human bed.
"Are you kidding me? We would have to stay the night if we do that" Ha kyung glares. Their classmates will surely go over-excited and started to make their own plan. Imagine how chaotic it will be with a handful of different opinions. They won't make any progress and the meeting has got to be postpone. Even when they agreed on another meeting, she's sure that the same thing will be repeated. That would definitely take a toll on her schedule, which she's trying to avoid. And that's the reason she request this first meeting to be carried out among the four of them from Mr Kang- he actually agreed and Miss Jung too, without much complain. It's a pity that Miss jung couldn't make it today. But that doesn't matters anyway, as long as they can make a base and outline the school trip, before they finalized the decision with the rest of the class.
"Ha kyung got a point there" Mr Kang interrupted. "Okay..let's start. Miss Jung and I had decided the date..it will be the end of this month..we're going...err..anywhere the final decision will be- for three days two night"
Both Nam soon and Ha kyung nodded.
"I want us to discuss the best possible place to go and suggest some appropriate activity to do there. It must have a positive effect on your studies and physical..but include fun in them" Nam soon groaned at the word 'studies', which he got cold stares almost immediately from Mr Kang and Ha kyung.
"Let's go hiking..some mountain will do" Nam soon was the first to suggest.
Ha kyung widened her eyes, as if she got choked on something. "The girls won't agree" she objected clearly, eyes are now glaring with disproval.
"It may good for all boys activity..yup..the girls won't like it" Mr Kang commented.
"Let's find some holiday inn, surrounded with nature. It will be good to find inspiration there..for uh..maybe poem writing" Ha kyung's turn to suggest. Mr Kang nodded, he seemed pleased with the idea. Ha kyung saw him scribbles down her idea on a piece of paper. She smiles satisfied.
"But we have a limited bajet. We still have transportation, foods and many other things to pay. So, finding a decent holiday inn might be a little tight. But worry not, I'll discuss this over with Miss Jung" Mr Kang said.
"Nature? We might as well go camp in the forest. The season is just fine for an outdoor activity and you can save some money" Nam soon argued.
"Good idea..and somewhere near a waterfall will be great" Mr Kang smiled, and jot down the new suggestion.
"Forest? Is it safe? How about the hygiene there?" Ha kyung shots the question to Nam soon. There's a wind of disagreement in her voice.
"Or we can find a well-known camping site if you had an issue on the safety" Mr Kang recommended.
"Nahh..where the fun will be then? Forest is more exciting. Don't you feel stuffy living in this city day after day?" Nam soon said, his tone might be a little higher than usual.
"Yeah yeah..let's see how fun and exciting it is when a bear dined your head in the middle of the night" She paused and glares, "..I'm totally looking forward to see it.." she said sarcastically.
Nam soon scoffed. Mr Kang on the other hand sighed. "Play nice you two" he reminded.
After some more hours and hate-love argument, the meeting finally comes to an end. The three of them looked so worn out, as if they just got saved out of a war.
Nam soon is still sitting at the same place when Ha kyung is already at door, obviously can't wait to leave the room. The pale boy had his back leaned against the chair and eyes shut tightly- the light is too disturbing . It does nothing but to irritate his awful headache and make it worse with each passing minute. Yeah, the headaache came back in the middle of the meeting. That devil keep objecting his idea and throw in some girly suggestion. No hardship, something about stupid inspiration and some other explanation she brought up together with the place suggestion. She just might as well organize her own trip and enjoy writing poem there. He was glad that at least he could manage his choice of words during the discussion - no curse words escaped, though he had given up to care about his facial expression and he was sure that he had glared a lot within the last few hours.
"Are you okay Nam soon?" Mr Kang asked, looking at the pale boy. He seemed overly tired and kinda weak. To his surprise, Nam soon did speak or- maybe the better word- participate a lot in the meeting. It was a rare thing for someone who usually save his words in the pocket.
"Fantastic!" he replied lazily. He's not in mood to talk and he doesn't expect to hear from the man at the moment. He thought Mr Kang had left together with Ha kyung.
"Look Nam soon..I got a little thing to say" the teacher started, taking the opposite seat. Reluctantly, Nam soon opened his eyes and straight up his position. "How many part time job do you do currently?" Mr Kang asked, making Nam soon raised a brow, looking at the teacher oddly.
"and you need to know because...?" the boy asked back.
Mr Kang sighed. He knows he gonna sound weird no matter how he put it. Damn that Tae sun for putting him in this awkward situation. Snooping into other's business is definitely not his thing.He had to keep a close eyes on this boy, suddenly, on top of that. Well at least within school compound, according to the deal he made with Tae sun the other day. He's not fond of growing attachment with any student, but knowing Tae sun's past, and he is currently Nam soon's homeroom teacher, he can't help but to lend a hand to his good friend. He understands how desperate and scared Tae sun must have felt for him to ask his help. "..just..let say, I wish you to cut down the number, choose your job wisely and spend more time on your studies.." he said it after a while, hoping it won't come out strange or worse, suspicious.
"I have no interest in studies. I won't enter college" Nam soon replied bluntly. There's certainty in his voice.
"You still need to pass the papers to be able to graduate and get a proper job" Mr Kang said, frustrated. How come this boy has no will no study at all? He shouldn't be thinking all about money at this age.
"I thought I only need the attendance" Nam soon argued back.
"Yes!..but a better grade can boost up your resume. You'll stand a chance to get a better pay" the teacher reasoned out.
There was no answer. He observed the student in front of him. A taint of tiredness could be spotted, and if he can hear it right, Nam soon is kinda breathing heavily- not too obvious though, but it still concerns him. "By any chance you're not feeling well?" he spurted out.
Nam soon groaned. "I'm perfectly fine. I'm going home" he announced, feeling irritated. There's no point of him staying over this bull talk a.k.a study counceling. He doesn't need it; not now particularly, when his body doesn't feel good.
"You're not going anywhere.." he paused and sighed. "..until you save my number inside your mobile contact..." he said, giving the boy a small piece of paper.
"No thanks. I already have Miss Jung's number" Nam soon declined and stands up.
Mr Kang too stands up and force the paper on Nam soon. "Now!" he said, a little too strong. It sounded wrong to force the boy but, it's for his own good. It's worked by the way, since, Nam soon takes out his phone and did as Mr Kang wanted. He then shows the phone to the teacher as a prove.
"Call me whenever you need help..like..maybe..strange people coming after you.." Mr Kang stuttered. He looked at the boy and hell, the respond is not something he likes. Nam soon is giving him this mocking-confused-irritated-look saying 'what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you-did-you-knock-your-head-somewhere' which force him to add quickly, "..or you're in a fight.." he sighed deeply, before continue, "..or in any kind of troubles..."
"hhhmm" was the only respond Nam soon gave. Keeping his phone back to it's previous place, he exited the door, and makes his way to class 2-2 to picks up his bag.
Mr Kang takes off his spectacles once Nam soon is out of his sight. His shoulder fell, and his mind can't stop cursing himself for getting into unrequited mess. 'Aish..just when I thought I could live normally, I'm being pulled back into that world again' he thought to himself.
***
Nam soon woke up to the familiar smell of his own sanctuary. He loves the warmth and comfy feeling he got from the bed he was lying down. He decided to stay down for few more minutes to enjoy the feeling.
(Nam soon's pov)
"It's so quiet" I mumbled to no one.
'It's always like this, pabo' a voice inside my mind mocked.
I frown. " But I saw Heung soo before I fall asleep!" I argued.
'you must be dreaming' the voice said back.
"I know what I saw, stupid voice!" I said, defending myself. I don't even know why I'm having this argument with the voice inside my head.
'because now you can be sure that Heung soo won't leave you again, he's not mad at you anymore, and you got this feeling that Heung soo lo---'
"Shut up, idiot!!!' I screamed. I blushed furiously. "Just leave me alone!" I pulled up my blanket and curled into a ball. I hates the fact that the voice is dominatiing me.
'how can I? I was told to keep an eye on you, by your beloved Heung soo' the voice come again.
I sighed. "How high is my temperature for me to be hearing all this nonsense?" I said, giving up.
'hhmm quite high I guess. Your man was worried sick. He was so concerned of what will happen if your fever won't come down, yet he was having his fun time staring at you. Should I tell you where were his eyes focused on?'
"I said SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Nam soon yelled. Now Nam soon is sure that the voice is making fun of him and had a mission to make him look like a crazy person, but he can't understand why he is still blushing at time like this. He feels so frustrated.
Feeling annoyed, Nam soon then get up from the bed. He noticed a small note left on the bedside table. 'WIll get back soon' was the note said.
"Where did he go?" I asked to myself.
'Miss him much?' the voice returned.
I just rolled my eyes. I decided to ignore it as I figured it will only make me tired and sliced out my remaining sanity. I picked up a coat and put it on. Then, I stands in front of mirror, fixing my messy hair. When I think I'm good enough to go, I leave the room and headed outside.
'Woah tiger...take a chill pill. Where do you think you're going..?!' the voice asked.
"None of your business" I answered nonetheless. I got this feeling that the voice won't stop bugging me if I remained silent. Thanked God I spotted no one around me, or else they must be thinking that I'm crazy.
'Save your loverboy some trouble will ya'? It's freezing out here! Turn back and get your on the bed' the voice scolded.
I scoffed. "He is not my loverboy and for the nnth time, will you shut up and leave me alone?" I make a right turn and a 24-hour convenient shop is within my sight. Truthfully, i don't even know why I came here. Let's just say, I have a good instinct about this.
"What are you doing here?" a voice said from behind. I turned and found Heung soo standing with a plastic full of--err--grocery, I think, and he's staring at me fiercely.
"A walk...I need a fresh air" I said, smiling a bit, trying to make an adorable face to safe myself from getting a scolding.
He sighed and comes closer. His hand immediately make a contact with my forehead. "The medicine's working on you" he breathes in relief. "..but still you shouldn't be out here. I expect to see you on bed once I get back" Heung soo said, frustrated.
"Be thankful that I'm here to you back, saekkiya!" I said, pouting,
"I'm not some kind of damsel in distress. I can walk home perfectly fine by myself, pabo!" Heung soo retort back.
"And I'm not some kind of baby. I'm not fragile or dying. You're worrying for nothing" I argued back.
"You are sick, Go Nam Soon..!"
"I'm fine now!" I insisted.
Heung soo sighed again.
"You know..you did a lot for me today. I'm really fine now. So, stop worrying too much" I said softly.
He finally smiles. "Really really ok? Sure?" he asked.
I chuckled. "100% ok, saekki.." I said, punching his shoulder lightly.
"Let's go home" Heung soo then said brightly. I nodded and we continue to walk side by side. That was until we are interrupted by a group of people.
"Hey hey..look who's here?" one of the man mocked.
I smirked. "Isn't good to see you guys again, coward dogs?"
