"Sunlight filtered through the curtains pricking at Horseok's eyelids. He moaned and covered his eyes with his arm. ing sun! He sat up slowly making sure not to wake up Hayoung. Slowly sliding out of bed, Horseok padded his way to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and stood by the bed watching Hayoung's chest rise and fall. 

She was most peaceful when she slept. Her dark lashes contrasted against her pale skin. Her pink lips puckered slightly and her hair hung loose and dark against the pillow. Horseok smiled as he moved a strand from her face. Quietly, he walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge in search for food. 

With bacon popping on the stove and mixing pancake batter, Horseok thought back to when he first met Hayoung. She had been walking when it began to rain. She quickly ran to a bus stop and hid under the awning. Shivering from the cold, she hugged her bag close to her.

Horseok walked a couple of steps behind her, so as to follow her and cover her. He watched her wet hair begin to curl, the way she had a tiny bounce in her step even though it was raining. Hayoung turned off to a quiet, empty street and stopped in front of a grey apartment building. Standign under the awning she opened her purse and took out some keys. m

"Thank you for walking me home though you really didn't need to." She turned a gave him a slight bow in gratitude. She turned back to her door and unlocked it.

"Wait, ummm." Horseok rubbed his neck and felt his face slightly turn red, "I know that we just met and I don't even know your name but-"

"Hayoung. My name is Hayoung." She smiled at t
