Mina POV

Flashback

I see Chaeyoung slip in from the corner my eye.

"Oh, I see. Thanks for your help." I said to the teacher.

I head towards the parking lot and pass by Chaeyoung's car. I was ready to walk home when I see a piece of paper ticked behind his windshield.

-Don't walk home by yourself. Is dangerous. Wait from me to take you home. The car is unlocked and there's some snacks in the back-
-Chaeyoung-

He's so reckless. What if someone else saw this night? They would have know this his car was unlocked and would jacked it. Its not like I could leave his car unlocked like this. I could always lock it from inside and shut the doors. Just the car model he uses is confusing and I don't understand any functions. Better not risk setting off the car alarm, I sigh. I reluctantly get into the back of the car and sit there waiting for a while. Before I know it, I'm laying down and drifting to sleep.

End of flashback

"What" I said shocked.

"I tried the back door." He said look at me.

"What? Are you trying to break into my house?" I glare at Chaeyoung.

"Ever heard of a surprised?" He said crossed his hand.

"Ever heard of trespassing?" I said still glare at him.

"Well, you can crash at my place." He said get out from the car turn to me smiling.

"Eh? Hell No! I'm not sleeping at my teacher's house. That's weird." I said turning to look in front.

"My mom won't mind. She likes you." He said still smiling.

"Sure. She likes me as her student. But I don't think and pretty sure that doesn't mean she's comfortable with me crashing on her couch." I said continue to walk towards the backyard.

"I'm not budging until you get into my car." He said laid on his car.

"Don't be creepy. Just leave Son Chaeyoung." I ignore him and keep walking.

"I will see you in the morning." Chaeyoung waves to me and hops into the passenger seat.

He lowers the seat and crosses his arms across his chest and closing his eyes. But, his face still wearing the smile teasing me. Argh, I hate him.

"You can stay there forever. Like I care. Goodnight!" I go into the shed and sit in an old lawn chair.

Its dusty and I'm already sneezing up a storm. Periodically, I sneak out and check on Chaeyoung. His car still parked in my driveway. Around an hour passes and his car still out in front. I finally surrender and slip into the backseat of the car. Chaeyoung eyes still closed.

"Drive." I said to him.

I can see his mouth curls into smile and he hops into the drivers seat. He glare at me using back mirror and smile before he drove away. Once we get into his house, I immediately go go the couch. I'm so sleepy.

"Night." I said curl on the couch and forced my eyes closed.

"Mina, you should sleep in my room." Chaeyoung said nudge my side.

"No way." I said still closing my eyes.

"I don't think my mom would appreciate waking up to an unannounced guest." He said sit on the couch.

"You said she wouldn't mind." I retorted sit up looking glare at him.

"Well, I lied. If I don't say that you won't come." He look at me back with smirk.

"Arghh. Fine! But I'm sleeping in the floor." I said standing up.

"Suit yourself." Chaeyoung said leads us to his room and lets me in.

I was expected a war zone. Well the typical boy's room with clothes and half eaten pizza everywhere. A closest that's harbouring racoon, or maybe a bunch of posters of model in skinny swimsuits. But, no. Chaeyoung's room was nothing like that. His room more organised than mine. It was simple, consisting of a bed, desk, tv, laptop, gaming console, a closet, a drawer, and a bean bag chair. The walls are painted a navy blue and his carpet is a cream colour.

I pick to sleep on the floor space on the side of his bed. It could be easier for me to hide just in case his parents walk in. I never expected this day to come when I'm hiding out in a boy's room. Although, its not for a scandalous reason like the most movies make it to be. I'm simply in this predicament because I'm an idiot who left her house without the keys and in modern technologies, I forget my phone. What it could be more worst than that.

I lay my head on my arm and try to go to my dreamland, but I just can't. My eyes seem doesn't want to closed. I hear Chaeyoung open his drawers and get into the shower. After a few minutes, my eyes still can't sleep. Then, I hear the water stops running and the door creaks open. I shut my eyes tightly, pretend that I was sleeping. The light go out and I still pretend to sleep. I feel Chaeyoung's hand slide under my body. I shocked but I shut my eyes even harder. He hoists me up and carefully places me on the bed. He repositions the pillow under my head and spread a blanket on me. He hovers over me, reaching for the other pillow. He stay there silently for a while looking at me. Well, I feel like he looking at me but I don't know. He plops in onto the floor the place where I was laying before and goes to sleep.

Then, slowly but clearly I can hear his saying "Goodnight Minari".

He called me Minari. My chest is being hammered so hard. I can't breathe, like I forgot how to breathe. I feel guilty for deceiving Tzuyu. I'm always lying to her. Its different tonight though., because I'm lying to myself as well. Maybe if I keep lying about this hammer in my chest, my feelings will eventually go away. It wouldn't be fair to Tzuyu otherwise. Yeah, I will ignore the hammer in my heart. This will be go away and back to normal. That's it. That's what you should do Mina.

I wakes up by the ray of light hitting my eyes. My vision is blurry at first, a swirl of blue and white. I opened and closed it back but then I slowly opened my eye and realise I was in Chaeyoung's room. It wasn't some crazy daydream while I laying on my bed on a boring Friday night. I quickly sit up on the bed. Trying to clear all my mind from this shocked. Then, I can hear there's footsteps outside the door approaching closer.

"Chaeyoung, time to wake up honey. I'm going out for grocery shopping. Did you need anything?" Its Mrs. Son I'm guessing.

Crap, my eyes went widen. I'm in her son's bed. In a flash, I'm rolling onto the ground behind the bed. Thump! Shoot! My body falls into Chaeyoung, who's still sleep and I bump my head against his chest.

"Ouch-." Before he can speak, I close his mouth with my hand.

"Shush." I hush him still clasp my hand over his mouth.

The door slowly creaks open. There's a moment of silence before someone interrupts.

"Mommy, hurry! I want to go before they run out of the strawberry tart. I won't share it with oppa." A girl shrieks from downstairs. Its must be his sister.

"Alright, just wait for me in the car." The door close and there's thumping on the stairs. I hear the car engine start and disappear.

I relax and let my body lay back down. For a moment I forgot I was still laying on Chaeyoung. Before I could roll off, he make his arms around my waist. Tightly. Shoot!
