I stared at the ceiling and bit my lip. So many thoughts are rumbling inside my mind and many emotions are mixed inside my chest. I closed my eyes tightly but the scene last night popped in my head making me open my eyes instantly. I wanted to scream but I don't want to wake up all the people in this house. I looked at the clock, it's too early for me considering the time I fell asleep.

I feel so confuse but happy at the same time. And there's the guilt and fear I'm also feeling ever since Daniel confessed his deeper feelings last night. I heaved off a sigh and shut my eyes. "Damn it!" I just rolled on my bed and got up since it's no use sleeping again. That guy just keep popping inside my head.

I headed to the bathroom and I was taken aback to see my face in the mirror. I look hideous. My hair is tangled everywhere and my eyes screams under eye dark circles. I feel so ugly right now. I don't usually sleep so late and I always make sure I don't lack of sleep. But lately I've been having a hard time sleeping.

Thanks to you Kang Daniel.

I rolled my eyes at myself then just opened the faucet to wash my face. I brushed my teeth and stepped inside the shower after that. I'll just have to distract myself for today. No Daniel, no kisses and no thinking of his 'i love you'.

I put a decent clothes and stared at myself in front of the mirror. I was thinking of things I can do for today. It's Saturday and it means no classes. Shall I go to the workshop then? I sighed and settled for that plan. I put some make up on to cover my hideous face then I went downstairs to eat my breakfast. It's still seven o'clock so it's still too early to go to the workshop but I know they open up at 8 am so it's okay. I just don't usually go out this early.

After eating, I took my bag and headed outside. I told the guards I won't need any drivers for today. My phone rang so I took it out from my pocket. Daniel's name was flashing on the screen. It made my heart race. I stared at it and contemplated whether I should answer or not but the call died before I even thought of a decision.

Eh? "Psh." I rolled my eyes and just hid my phone on my pocket but it rang again making me jump a bit. "What the heck?!"

I took it out again and pressed the answer button. "Hello?" There was no response but I hear his breathing. I bit my lip. "Daniel?" I asked, "Yah, are you playing with me or wha-"

"N-No! I'm sorry, good morning Saeron." He said almost instantly, his voice sounding a bit hoarse. It sounded good in my ears. I face palmed myself at the thought. "Good morning." I said before continuing to walk. I hailed a cab and went inside while waiting for Daniel to speak. Why is he so quiet?

"What are you doing for today?" He asked. "Going to the workshop, you?" I asked back. "I want to come with you, but I gotta help my brother out in the company. Where are you right now?"

"On my way." I answered. There was a pause in the line before he spoke. "Okay then, I'll drop by. I'll see you there Saeron, bye." He said and waited for my response, "Bye." Then he ended the call. I sighed then put the phone inside my bag.

So much for 'no Daniel' rule for today.

I don't know how I will be able to face him. Should I act unaffected? Will he act like nothing happened? Should I? I have to keep it cool, right? I suddenly grew nervous as I the cab get nearer and nearer to the workshop. The driver stopped in front of the workshop building so I got off quickly.

Daniel's car was parked in front too and he was leaning outside his car. A cup on his hand as he stared on the ground. He was wearing a suit but without a tie. The first two buttons were opened showing a bit of his chest. His hair was neatly done and swept aside. His crucifix necklace shines and it only added charms to this beautiful creature before me.

I was startled when he looked up, his face shows the same. My heart leaped when our eyes met and the kiss last night played back on my head. It made me gulp and look away. I can't handle the intensity on his eyes. He walked towards me with a smile on his face. Then he handed me the cup he was holding. I stared at it before looking up to his face. He scratched the back of his neck as if he was shy.

"It's too early so I thought you might need a cup of coffee." He said so I gave him a nod before taking the cup in his hand. "Thank you," I replied with a smile. "How about you, have you eaten yet?" I asked and I saw how he grinned, "Yeah, I'm done with breakfast." He answered.

"I should go now, I'll call you later." He said with a grin. I waved my hand before he turned around and leave. He went to his car and gave me another glance before waving. He started the engine and drove off. Longing and disappointment suddenly crept into my chest. It felt empty now that he was gone. I thought this is a day for myself but why do I feel like this? I inhaled deeply and shrugged the thoughts away.

I stepped back before going inside the building. I was about to sip on the coffee when I noticed a yellow paper at the back. I turned the cup and saw that there was a note.

"Good morning shorty! I wasn't able to sleep last night but I hope you slept well. I will see you again soon, I miss you already." - Daniel

I blushed at his simple note. So we both weren't able to get a nice sleep last night, huh? It's his fault anyway so he deserves it. The 'i miss you already' part made me smile but still, why the heck did he call me shorty? I'm not even that small- oh well, yes he's taller but damn it. I'll just let it be since it's kind of true.

I sat on my seat and drank on my cup. My phone beeped again inside my bag so I took it out. I smiled at myself thinking that it was Daniel who texted but it was an unknown number.

Anonymous: I see you're doing good.

My brows knitted at the message. I've been receiving weird messages lately but I kept ignoring it. The person only tried to ask how I have been doing. I asked who it was but there was no response so I just ignored his next messages. I tilted my head thinking who I might have given my number recently but there was no one. I was about to ignore it again but I received another message.

Anonymous: Does your mighty father know you're dating Kang Daniel?

My eyes widened and my hands shook at the question. I wanted to type something and protest but I couldn't. My heart hammered and I felt nervous knowing that someone knows I'm going out with Daniel.

This person must've misunderstood Daniel and I's meeting if ever he or she saw us. I don't even know if it's considered dating in terms of our situation but it still scares me that someone knows it other than my friends.. I mustered up the courage to a reply.

Me: What are you talking about and who are you?

It wasn't long before I received his message.

Anonymous: I'm an old friend, remember?

Anonymous: I know everything Saeron.
