Chapter 13- Sleepless Night

The One [ON HIATUS]

*Bekka's POV*

After we came back from delivering snacks to the boys, I was exhausted. School was getting to me. It was getting difficult and it was the time of year where we would be getting big tests and finals. I flipped off my shoes, slipped into my slippers, and got ready for bed. I was ready to meet the blissful sleep that awaited me. Thoughts invaded my head. I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling for what seemed like hours and still couldn't call asleep. I hated these kinds of nights. It was like my brain kept moving and working when I wanted to flip the 'off' switch. It only it were that easy. After a while, I couldn't take it anymore. I know the longer I stayed laying in my bed, I'd feel lonely. I needed to go for a walk to clear my head. I brushed my hair and threw on some sweat pants and a t-shirt and slipped outside, careful not to wake anyone. I headed towards the park not too far from here. Even though it was 2AM, I felt safe in the neighborhood. The neighbors really watched out for each other so I had no fear walking in the middle of the night. I reached the swings--my favorite. It was my thinking swing. I pretty much came here anytime I was feeling down. I swayed back and forth on the swing. I remembered sitting here when my aunt had just passed away. I was wreck yet Suhoon comforted me. He will never know how much that helped me. I couldn't ever repay him back for even just letting me smile after that. Think of my aunt again, I was reminded how far from my family I really was. I missed them and it hit me hard tonight. Homesick. Their laughs and stupid comments and made up songs. I couldn't help but smile remembering my dad and brother. I unconsciously let a tear escape my eye. I missed my dad's warm embrace. You see, I was a bit of a daddy's girl. He could be harsh, but I always liked him the most. Don't get me wrong,  I loved my mom and dad equally...I just liked my dad more. Is that okay or am I being too harsh? I felt a light tap on shoulder and jumped. Instinctively I got ready to smack the person who was touching me and run. It scared the heck out of me!

"Yah!-" I punched wherever my fist came in contact with.

 

"Ow! I'm not going to you! It's me"

 

"Oh...sorry about that. I didn't know it was you. You shouldn't sneak up on people like that when it's this late! Especially girls! You scared the heck out me!" I lightly punched him again once I saw who it was.

 

*Suhoon's POV* "You shouldn't be out here this late--especially alone! They're creepers and erts out here!" I always seemed to run into her on that swing. When I saw what looked like to be a tear, I definitely couldn't ignore that. "Plus, you were crying. Some dirty old man could've easily taken the chance to abduct you. You're lucky it was only me."

"Yeah..well... Still! And I wasn't crying!" Bekka couldn't come up with anything else to say.

 

"Hey, I saw a tear. Don't lie to me." I laughed lightly,  "I told you never to cry alone. It'll make you more sad.... What brings you out here this late." I softly asked her. She sighed.

"I just couldn't sleep... and I miss my family..." She frowned slightly then gave a small smile. Aww. Bekka was homesick. I didn't like seeing her sad. :(I couldn't find the right words to say so I wrapped my arms around her as I was still standing behind her. I didn't say anything and we stayed like that for a while.

 

*Bekka's POV* I felt his arms wrap around me. Warmth spread through my body and rose to me cheeks. I wasn't used to being this close with people, especially guys. I try not to let my feelings out and Suhoon was always there to see the worst of me. But here I was, wrapped in a warm embrace. I felt security, as if my dad was holding me. His warmth surrounded me as if to say "I'm here for you.don't feel sad. I'm here, protecting you." It was a nice feeling. I was glad it was night time so Suhoon couldn't see my face. It was probably fire-truck red by now! My stomach broke the silence with a loud grumble. I was hoping Suhoon didn't hear that.

"are you hungry? Let's find something to eat really quick." Suhoon whispered.so as not to disturb the peace that settled around the darkness. I could feel his warm breath on my ear. It tickled.

"Umm..uhh, ye..yeah" I manage to stutter and quickly got up. "But wait, it's 2AM. No store is open this late Suhoon."

 

"There's a convenience store right up the street. We can get noodles there.come on." He pulled my arm. I followed. We arrived at the store and Suhoon went in to look for any noodles. I was looking for a strawberry milk when a drunk sleazy guy walked in and just so happened to be looking at the milk too.

 

"Hey pretty lady. What are you doing up this late? Have you come to play with papa?" The man sneered at me. I could smell the soju on him from a mile while away. I almost gagged. he slung his arm around me before I could even react.

"Yah! Get off me!" I tried to slap his hand away but he had a strong grip. He pulled me away but not without a struggle. "Hey! Get off! " I slapped and kicked at him." I was about to do one of the moves I learned in toshindo (like karate) in the states where I flipped the attacker over so I could run but Suhoon came to my rescue. He forcefully ripped the drunk man's arm off of me and pulled me close by his side. He put his arm around me as if to say 'don't mess with her. She's not an item so back off buddy.' He gave a piercing glare toward the old man.

"Go. Never even think about looking at her again. You look at any other girl and I'll report you. " he cackled. 

"Hah, pathetic. Trying to protect your little girlfriend. Whatever. I bet you couldn't even defend yourself." He pushed Suhoon, hard. I saw Suhoon curl his hands into fist but he didn't do anything. He gave one last glare and pulled me away. We were a few blocks away and he was still holding me close to him.

 

"Uhh..Suhoon...I think we're okay now.." I tried to unwrap his arm slowly off of me. "Thank you for helping me and all...I owe you a lot.."

"Bekka-ah." He grabbed my arm and then intertwined his hand in mine. "I'm keeping you close by until I see you make in your house. I don't want that to happen to you again like that..." He softly said. "Don't ever come out this late again by yourself, Bekka-ah.I'll worry too much about you.." I didn't know what to reply. He was worried about me? I felt butterflies in my stomach despite the scary events that just occured. I felt safe with his hand locked in mine. They were soft and warm. I started to feel tired and had to fight to kep my eyes open. He walked me home noticing I was getting sleepy. When we reacher my door, he let go. I hand felt empty now. I know, it sounds cheesy, but it was like his hand belonged in mine. "Good night Bekka-ah. Sleep well."

"Oh. You too Suhoon." I waved. I started to turn around and walk in my house but his arms enveloped me again. He turned me around to face his and hugged me tighter.

"Be safe. Sweet dreams, Bekka-ah."
