Chapter 6~Kim Hyuna (1/2)

You open your eyes to find yourself in JunHyung’s arms. They’re strong around your body. Your head rests on his shoulder tucked into his neck. He’s walking fast. You’re outside. Miryo is talking frantically behind you, probably still on the phone.

“Miryo, get the door.” JunHyung orders.

You glimpse Miryo run around and open the door to JunHyung’s car.

“Get in the back.” He says and she immediately climbs in and goes to the back.

JunHyung repositions you in his arms and carefully sets you into the car. You blink away the dark spots in your vision and groan. He pulls the seatbelt out and buckles you in before going to his own side. He starts up the car and pulls away from your house.

“Where are we going?” you whisper.“My place. Didn’t think you ladies would want to stay there alone after that.”

You nod in agreement.

“Father’s coming home.” Miryo says quietly.

“Why?” you ask, dazed.

“He wants to look at our home. And he said he’s getting a security team for us. We can go back in the morning…”You nod again and look out the window as JunHyung speeds down the road.

“Did you get a look at them?” JunHyung asks.

“What? Err… no. I only saw their eyes. And it was only briefly.” You answer.“Well, you guys can stay at my place tonight. My parents aren’t home either, but we have guest rooms.”

The rest of the ride is quiet and he pulls up to a larger house protected by a high gate. The house itself was quite pretty and fancy. JunHyung, along with most of the people at their school, came from a high class family.

He pulls into a large parking garage with other cars and gets out. You fumble with your seat belt embarrassingly as he walks around the car. He opens your door and you are frantic to unleash yourself.

“Here, I got it.” He says as he leans over you. You press yourself into the seat but his jacket brushes your nose. His hand goes over yours and moves it out of the way before unbuckling you. He pulls out and you stumble to your feet. Before you can say thank you he sweeps you into his arms and heads toward the house. Miryo follows quickly from behind.

“I can walk!” you gasp.“I think it’s better this way.” He says casually.

Miryo scampers ahead and opens the door for us. The inside is even more beautiful than the outside. He takes you upstairs and down another hall.

“Second door on the left, Miryo.” He calls back. Miryo runs ahead with excitement and opens the door. Inside is a queen sized bed. “You can sleep here.” He says to Miryo.

“I… I don’t want to sleep ALONE.” She whispers.

“Certainly you won’t. I’ll stay here with you.” You say as you wrestle your way out of JunHyung’s arms.

“Err… okay.” He responds. “The bathroom is right across the hall. Do you guys… or girls I mean… do you need anything? Any… girl stuff?” he asks embarrassed.

Miryo and I can’t help but to exchange smiles.

“You wouldn’t happen to have anything we could sleep in do you?” You ask.

“I have an older sister, but she doesn’t stay here anymore. But I’ll go check. Wait here.”

He hurries down the hall and you turn to see Miryo exploring the room with big eyes and an even bigger smile. You roll your eyes at the child. Only she could find enjoyment in a situation like this.

“He’s quite handsome.” She says matter-of-factly as she slips past you towards the bathroom.

“I suppose.” You answer.

She laughs and shuts the door. You sit on the bed and wait. JunHyung returns with an armful of clothes.

“This is all I could find.” He says unhappily.

He plops down an old fashioned night gown that looks way too small, a pair of basketball shorts, and a small hoodie. You lift up the nightgown and laugh a little to yourself.

“This may fit Miryo.” You say.

As if on cue, Miryo rushes in and grabs the gown. She sprints back to the bathroom and you’re left with JunHyung and the boy clothes.
