Mr Choi peered at me through his thick spectacles and smiled

My face lit up

Oh no no no

It was clear that Hyungwon was one of Mr Choi's favorites, and I never was

Mr Choi regained his composure and smiled pleasantly

he said

He handed me a folder of worksheets and assignments

I whined

Reluctantly, I bowed my head

Damn Jooheon and his busy schedules.

I had no desire to face Hyungwon, especially after that incident. However, he still possessed that aura of mystery. I wanted to know more about him, about his past, about his mother. About his father,and about him.

How was he able to keep it all in? Why is it that he always managed to slip up in front of me, his arch nemesis.

Chae Hyungwon made my blood boil, but I could never resist a good mystery

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

I felt a peculiar of sense of deja vu when I knocked on Hyungwon's front door. It was opened by Mrs Chae, and she looked even prettier than the first time I saw her

I lowered my gaze respectfully

Mrs Chae took my arm and led me inside the house

I held up the bulky cloth bag I was carrying

I climbed up the polished staircase and caught sight of his door, slight ajar. Hyungwon was in bed, reading a novel. He looked much better than before

I cleared my throat

His eyes flitted to mine, and they were emotionless

I said, as I set it down on his desk

Hyungwon groaned

I crossed my arms

Hyungwon didn't answer, he just stared into the pages of his novel. Initially, I was going to question him about his father, but I didn't think this was the right time. If he wanted to tell me, he would

I half expected him to stop me before I walked out the door, but he didn't. I silently chided myself internally.

Pull yourself together, Miyoung. This isn't a drama. It's real life

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

My phone beeped, shocking me awake

Ding!

It was a text, from Hyungwon. I glanced wearily at my clock. 4:12 am. God, he was going to be the death of me

Is this really all the shit I've missed? It's so eay

My eyes widened at his text. Had he done a month's work in one night?

Go to sleep

I can't

Why not?

I just can't

Something didn't seem right. Swiftly, I pull out the tape I had stolen from his psychiatrist and play the part near the end. The part about the nightmares

I grabbed my purse and crept out my room. I rarely saw my mom, she went to work at 6 am and came home at 11 pm. She was an overachiever, like myself. Often, she would stay overnight at her office. It was an enigma to as to how she even managed to conceive me

But of course, her work cost her her marriage. It was okay. They had divorced when I was three. Neither of them really wanted me, so my mother became stuck with me. I didn't really mind, though. She took transit to work, so she barely used her car. It was practically mine

I pulled up into Hyungwon's driveway and idled there, contemplating whether or not to go in

I thought to myself

I nearly did a double take when I saw the door open. Hyungwon stood in the doorway of the darkened house, his hair in disarray. He leaned on his crutches

Amazingly, he still managed to look good

Hesitantly, I turned off the engine and climbed out of the car. The chilly summer breeze tousled my hair

I whispered

he said

I said

Hyungwon raised his eyebrows quizzically

And suddenly, I blanched

Oh shit, shit

He didn't know that I knew about his nightmares. I panicked, I dove back into my car and shut the door

I could see Hyungwon's confused expression gradually grow more and more confused

Hyungwon positioned himself at the rear of the car as I began to back out of the driveway

I pleaded to myself. What would Eunmi think if I told her I ran over a hot guy with a broken leg whose broken leg was a result of a car running over him?

He tapped on the back window

he mouthed

I didn't move an inch. He would have to stay there all night. I watched in horror as he reached for his phone

I jolted in my seat as my phone began ringing. I stared at my phone as it kept ringing, and eventually ceased. I snuck a quick glance at Hyungwon who was staring at me like I was crazy. He redialed my number and my phone began to ring again

This time,I rejected it. I rejected it again and again, until Hyungwon grew so angry that he hobbled over to my side window and banged on it

he screamed

I took this opportunity to flee. I backed out of his driveway at the speed of light and speed down the empty road

Halfway home, I received a text

Do you have something to tell me?

Five seconds later

You're weird as fuck, Miyoung

Never, ever in my life have I made an error as careless as that. I was Jung Miyoung, I never made errors. The more I saw Hyungwon, the more moronic I became
