My eyes widened at Hoseok's request. A new house? What am I going to do all on my own in a new house? I got no way to retrieve all my belongings from my old house, and staying alone was definitely not for the best. What if something happens, who would-

I stopped my trail of thoughts at this sentence. What am I thinking? He is giving me the chance to stay away from him, why am I objecting to it? Why am I concerned about whether or not he is gonna be around? It's not my business. It's a chance and I should take it.

I crossed my arms and just stood silently, looking down at the shoes I was wearing. Hoseok's damned crocs.

The two men were silent for a moment, so I looked up only to find Hoseok looking at me.

"You don't mind, do you?" Hoseok asked, "It's not because I'm not happy with you being around, even though it doesn't really matter. But, my place is the only safe place we got. Not just for me, but for you too. I'm not saying there is a high chance you will get caught, but just in case someone catches up, we can always have another place to go to, aka my house. So this house we will just use as a main distraction from mine that's all."

I nodded my head at what he said and for some reason felt a wave of butterflies fly through my stomach. What was that? Was I happy that he was doing all that for me? But up till now, I still don't understand why he felt the need to. If anything he was a murderer who could easily just kill me and live the rest of his life burden free, so why was he keeping me around all safe and sound? Why was he going to the extent of changing my identity and renting a new place?

Jungkook let out a long sigh and said," Alright. We've got ourselves a deal. Bring her in tomorrow. I'll finish all the paperwork so she'll only have to put her finishing touches."

"Great. We'll see you tomorrow then, at about the same time," Hoseok said before excusing himself to leave, letting out a thank you to Jungkook before holding my wrist and dragging me alongside him to the elevator door once more.

The two of us stood side by side this time, his hand still having a hold of my wrist, but it was a softer grasp rather than the harsh one he normally uses to drag me around him everywhere we go. I could've pulled my arm away and caused a scene then asked him to not touch me like that again, but I did not. Rather I held my breath and just let him hold my wrist. Why? For no good reason.

We stood there for a good minute in silence until we were met by the 'ding' sound of the elevator. That was when Hoseok let my wrist go, leaving the once warm spot on my arm to go cold once more. I didn't even realize my breath was hitching until I could finally breathe properly when I walked out of the elevator without Hoseok's hand on my arm.

"Get ready to cause a scene again. I'm coming back tomorrow, same time," Hoseok said as we passed the suited man who furrowed his eyebrows at us," And don't forget to tone it down."

"Or you can just not come and save us all the hassle." The man replied back with a sarcastic smile to which Hoseok returned and paused in his tracks to face him.

"Or you can find somewhere else to work if your boss' orders aren't your cup of tea," He replied back. The two had a long stare filled with awkwardness for me as I looked back and forth between them. At this point, I wasn't even sure if Hoseok was hypnotizing the man or not, but I could see that he was still capable of controlling his facial expressions which to me meant that he was still in full control of his own mind.

"Let's go Hoseok," I said after clearing my throat, all in an attempt to break the tension because I knew Hoseok wouldn't mind letting us all sleep over here if it came down to him winning that god damn staring contest the two were having.

He glanced at me before looking back at the man and said," See you tomorrow."

I smiled slightly at the man and gave him a small bow before increasing my pace to catch up with Hoseok's power walk. Despite him being a completely bizarre combination of behaviors and thoughts, the only thing that I found to be evident was his anger. His furrowed eyebrows and clenched jaws couldn't be missed even from a hundred miles away, and unfortunately, I had to see it quite up close.

Of course, it was only natural in such a case to want to ask what was wrong, because I genuinely didn't think whatever had just happened deserved this much anger, but I didn't ask, mainly because I knew he would either ignore me or say 'nothing'. The two of us kept walking at a rapid pace till we reached his apartment where he marched into his room and slammed the door shut.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked myself before going into my room to change," Bipolar bitch."

I shut my door softly and locked it, then rested my back against it. A sigh left my mouth as I closed my eyes and regulated my breath while thinking through everything that had been happening in my life up till this moment. Life had been so hectic to the point that I couldn't even figure out what I wanted to do or where I wanted to start. It was like all the thoughts inside my head where tangled up and I could no longer think straight. The absurdity of my current reality seemed to have had Doctor Sun Hee messed up in all aspects. What did my future hold for me? What had actually happened in the past? Was Hoseok really responsible for all of this? If not, then who? Definitely not me. But if anything, Hoseok was definitely responsible for ruining a fair portion of my life, but I still didn't know whether to be thankful to him or hate his guts.

As I thought that, I flinched at the feeling of the door being knocked against my back.

"Sun Hee, may you open the door?" I heard Hoseok's voice, quite faintly. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion at how faint and gentle he sounded, then unlocked the door hesitantly.

I opened the door wide enough to allow myself to have a narrow field of vision and asked," what's up?"

He looked down at the slit sized space between the door and the doorframe with furrowed eyebrows," What's wrong?"

The look of concern on his face got me weak, and I soon found my heart rate increasing rapidly for no reason. Next thing I know, my hand let go of the door handle and the door opened wide, revealing his whole figure.

"W-what's up?" I stuttered, not knowing why I was suddenly feeling this way. My body started relaxing, my mind entering a state of absolute serenity.

His eyes. There was something attractive about them.

At that thought, I immediately let out a gasp and shut my eyes quickly then turned my head to the side, fear starting to conquer my body. What was that? Was he trying to hypnotize me? Was I really going to fall for it just like that?

"Stay where you are! S-stay back," I shouted at him as I backed away rapidly, my eyes still shut tight and arm extended forward.

"Sun Hee, what's wrong with yo-"

"Is that it? Was that your plan all along??" I shouted," to have me all confused about you then corner me up in my own thoughts like that??"

I heard him scoff slightly before he said," what are you even say-"

"I was wrong about you! I was wrong to think you had a bit of potential to be good! I was wrong to think you might have actually cared for my well being! How can I be so stupid??" I yelled, feeling my entire body shake. Letting out all those emotions felt so freeing, felt like I had years worth of pain hiding on the inside, pain that I never knew I was harbouring until that exact moment. It was this moment that I remembered Jimin, how he held me the day we argued, how he covered me up and held me in his arms all safe and sound until I was feeling alright, and at that thought my eyes starting tearing up and I could feel a single drop push it's way through my tightly pressed eyelids.

What I would give to feel his warmth again. What I would give to be held like that just one more time like that right now.

There was absolute silence. All I could hear were the sounds of my aggressive panting and frequent sobs, but Hoseok's presence was not even felt.

I kept silent until I calmed down a bit and my breathing rate started falling back down to be somewhat normal before asking," W-why aren't you speaking?"

I got no response for a couple of seconds, and that was when I was nearly sure there was no one there and that it was safe to open my eyes again, but just when I was about to let my eyelids part, I heard his voice and it made me stand guard all over again.

"I'm just waiting for you to finish so I can tell you what I was here for," he said," may I speak? Or do you still want to continue? I'm quite free anyway."

I sniffled slightly before deciding to open my eyes slightly only to find Hoseok sitting on the ground with his legs crossed and a piece of a half eaten string cheese between his fingers.

I straightened my posture and cleared my throat before trying to sneak in some involuntary sniffles and said," Y-you may speak."

He put the cheese between his lips, stood up and dusted the back of his pant before taking the cheese back out and saying," finally! Damn it, if I knew speaking to you would cause this much of a fit I would've just stayed in my room."

"What did you want?" I let out faintly, feeling slightly embarrassed. Actually, a little bit more than slightly.

"I just felt like the house was feeling kind of stuffy, so I was heading out and wanted to know if you would like to tag along. It's a pretty cool place too. Outdoors and all," he said awkwardly, his hands rubbing the back of his neck.

I furrowed my eyebrows at his request, not knowing how to feel about it. Actually, I didn't know how to feel anymore, I was just extremely messed up at this point. After the unexpected fit I just threw a couple of moments ago, I didn't even know if being around him in the same space was an option anymore, let alone go out with him for a stroll somewhere where a conversation was an option. But, at the same time, maybe that's exactly what I might need, a conversation.

It's a golden opportunity to strike a conversation, maybe get led to knowing more about him and his intentions. Will he lie to me? Maybe. But should we take the risk? We are living with him anyway, so why not.

"I mean, it's not that I care about your presence, I was just trying to be thoughtfu-"

"Alright, alright. I'm coming with you."
