            *******👻***👻*****

The sound of the door opening sounded before Tae Jin came in review.

Tae Jin stood at the door, holding it. As if he was preventing her from seeing inside.

Then again, if she stood on her toes, looking inside the room through Tae Jin's right side, she'll be able to see inside but that wasn't her concern now.

When Shin Hye saw that her boyfriend was okay, she breathed out in relief before curiously glancing into the room.

Yes, it was at this moment that curiosity got over her and she stood on her toes, looking inside through Tae Jin's right side.

Just like I said.

There was no one in there.

Of course that will be her conclusion since she couldn't see Hae Jin who lay on the bed, covered with the blanket.

"Shin Hye?" Tae Jin called out her name to draw her attention and it worked because she looked at him, remembering the real reason why she was here in the first place.

It wasn't like she didn't trust Tae Jin or thought he had someone else in the room without her knowledge, she was only curious to know why Tae Jin ran back into the room.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Well, he did look okay but did he really have to ask why she was worried?

They were all talking, smiling and the next thing they knew, he ran off. Looking worried, anxious and scared.

Appearing to be worried about someone but that just wasn't possible right? Cause there was no one else in the room besides him.

There really was no one else in the room besides him, right?

"Are you....alone?" Tae Jin raised his eyebrows in question.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"Well, me and the guys, we're worried about you. You suddenly ran off without saying a word"

"I'm fine. I just remembered my mom said she'll be calling and I forgot my phone back in the room, that's why I rushed here"

Well, this reason didn't sound convincing but there was also nothing she can do if Tae Jin didn't want to share or tell the truth.

"Okay, then, why don't you join us. We're about to have dinner"

"Don't tell me you're cooking" if that was so, there was no way he was joining them.

Shin Hye was a terrible cook. No matter how many times she tried to cook, it just wasn't working.

Give her the recipe, show her how is done and the food will still turn out horrible.

He guess not everyone can cook. To be able to cook, you need to have the talent or ability and that's what he learnt from watching Shin Hye cook.

"Ah ah ah, very funny" Shin said, rolling her eyes.

"So, are you joining us?"

Tae Jin looked back at Hae Jin.

"Please say yes"

"Sure" he agreed. He didn't want to leave his hyung alone, but then, there was nothing he can do.

He will just join his friends and also get some food for his hyung.

"Yeah? let's go" Shin Hye said excitedly, taking Tae Jin by the hand as she dragged him, forcing Tae Jin to slam the door close.

Right then, he regretted it. He might have disturbed his hyung.

Inside, Hae Jin opened his eyes, startled when the door slammed, making a disturbing noise.

They were gone. He heard everything they talked about even thought he didn't want to.

He meant, he was right inside the room, the door was opened and they weren't exactly quiet.

*Sigh, he sighed sadly.

"I guess we will never be the same".

With Tae Jin's friends (Who couldn't see him) around, they can never talk freely neither can they spend time alone together.

Maybe it was time he accepted this change. The five year old Tae Jin was gone. Their time spent together won't be the same (As when Tae Jin was a kid).

They were no longer alone and Sung Yoon was gone as well.

He's alone now and is time he accepted all these.

           **********👻******👻******

"Oh, here they are" Hyun Seo said as he and Se Jong watched Tae Jin and Shin Hye walk towards the dining, where they were.

Reaching, Tae Jin and Shin Hye took a seat. Smiling, Shin Hye looked at Tae Jin who was trying his very best to fake out a smile.

He was so worried about his hyung, so much that he couldn't even bring himself to smile genuinely or fake out a smile.

He only hope he can find a good excuse to leave early after dinner.

Talking about dinner, what's for dinner?

Tae Jin looked on the table for the first time since his arrival.

Pizza, they were having pizza for dinner.

Great! This is what happens when two people who knows how to cook didn't.

Noticing the frown on Tae Jin's face as he stared at the pizza they will be having for dinner, Hyun Seo said,

"Sorry, This was all we got on the way"

"Pizza? Seriously?" Tae Jin said tiredly, sighing.

So this was what his hyung was going to have for dinner.

"Sorry, we were worried about you. We thought, since you're sick, you won't be able to take care of yourself" Se Jong said.

"Since am sick, porridge will be fine you know?"

"Stop complaining Tae Jin. Be grateful for what you have" Hyun Seo said, frowning at him.

"Easy for you to say. You don't know how to cook that must be your national anthem"

"If is not because I have work, I would have cooked something. Is already 6, I have to get to work by 7" Se Jong said but they all ignored him.

Hyun Seo and Tae Jin looking annoyed with each other while Shin Hye was focused on them. Worried they might start a fight.

"What about you? You know how to cook so why didn't you cook something?"

Because he was busy. Thinking about his hyung and how to help him.

"I'm sick remember?"

"Yeah, I guess that's your national anthem for the day" Hyun Seo replied back with a smirk. And for a moment, Tae Jin felt so annoyed, wishing to wipe that stupid smirk off his face.

"Tae Jin" Shin Hye drew his attention and almost immediately, his mood changed. 

"Yeah?" He answered 

"You can take my notes later. You still have to study"

"Right, thanks" Tae Jin replied. Realizing he had to leave early to check on his hyung.

Immediately, he took two plates from the seven plates Hyun Seo brought, instead of four.

The guy said he was too lazy to get the plates according to their number and so he brought them all here.

Placing one piece of pizza on each plate, Tae Jin surprised and confused his friends.

And one big mouth couldn't help but ask, "Tae Jin, why are you fixing two plates? There's only one you, right?"

The big mouth who asked this question was Hyun Seo.

Hyun Seo: I don't want to interrupt or I would have said I'm not a big mouth.

You already did.

"Huh?" Tae Jin asked stupidly, looking at his friends who looked at him with a questioning look, waiting for an answer.

Clearing his throat, he racked his brain for a good lie.

Finding one, he answered,

"Well, I feel really hungry today"

"Then, why don't you just fix one plate. Why bother wasting another plate? You know I hate cleaning?"

"Who said you'll be cleaning?" Tae Jin asked and Hyun Seo sighed in relief in all seriousness.

"You eat as much as you want Tae Jin. There are two pack of pizza after all" Shin Hye said with a smile and he smiled back.

"And the girlfriend always supports without question"

Shin Hye and Tae Jin shared a look, smiling, Se Jong watching them (With a smile on his face) while Hyun Seo stared in disgust. 

Were they trying to get him jealous? If so, then they were on the right track.

He was very jealous! When will he ever date a nice girl?

Not any time soon I believe.

Hyun Seo: Did you say something?

No, the chapter has come to an end.

Hyun Seo: But am not done talking.

Well, I am.
