CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

Alexandra ran out of the dormitory, she was on her shorts and a hoodie. She looked around and eager to see Ha Joon.

He pulled her arm from behind and she could see herself hugging Ha Joon, "where have you been?" She hugged him tighter.

"Just hang on to me..." Ha Joon replied. As bad as Alexandra want to see Ha Joon face and ask him so many questions, she held him tight and could feel his strong arm around her. They stood there for a long while

Ha Joon looked at her face and smiled "I miss you". He said smiling to Alexandra. "I miss you so much, I have been so worried! What happened? I was so worried!". Alexandra asked eagerly. Ha Joon ran a finger along the edge of her hairline.

"I am here now". He replied. Alexandra hugged him more tighter. "I am glad you are". They both sat on the male dormitory stairs. "What happened?" Alexandra who looked at Ha Joon asked worriedly. Ha Joon sighed softly. "My Dad is back".

Alexandra gasped. "Your Dad? Your Dad that left you?" Alexandra eagerly asked, Ha Joon looked at her, "the night I left, he was with my grandma...believing he have a son" Ha Joon smiled. Alexandra could see the sadness in his smile, she held his hands.

"I don't know him, I don't want to know him, he died with mom a long time ago". Ha Joon said as tears filled his eyes. Alexandra moved closer to him and hugged him "it's alright" she patted his back slightly.

Ha Joon held her tight "he left me for 13 years! I was all alone by myself, i was lonely...I was scared, I would have died.....he died a long time ago to me, I don't have a father".

Alexandra could hear his shaky voice. "I have never seen him this sad ever, i don't want to see it anymore....it hurts". Alexandra thought and held him tight.

Ha Joon couldn't control his tears flowing, he held Alexandra tight and cry loud. Tears rolled down Alexandra cheeks, she patted his back slowly, sadness filled her heart, the most important guy to her is crying and she don't know what to do but to hold on to him.

The cricket was chirping and the moon brightened, Alexandra was still holding Ha Joon while patting his back. He looked at her and could see tears flowing down her cheeks.

He used his palm to wipe them away "don't cry, I don't want to see you cry", he said with tears on his face.

Alexandra cried louder "why are you even worrying about me when you are sad". She cried out. Ha Joon pulled her close, his mouth was hard on hers, he pulled her against him, his lips softened. She could feel the taste of coffee in his mouth.

The stored tears in her eyes continued to flow, she wound her hands into his hair as his hair curled around her fingers, silky and soft

"I love you"

Alexandra eyes brightened as she heard Ha Joon, the chirping of the cricket gets louder. She stared at him and became speechless. "I have never heard that word ever." She thought. She smiled and hugged Ha Joon "everything will be fine alright? I promise you that, it will be fine". Alexandra said.

"I believe you". Ha Joon said, he looked at her and smiled. "Seeing you makes my day brighter". Ha Joon said blushing. "For now I don't want to think about anything, just you, I want you to occupy my mind ". He said as he brushed his finger in her rough hair.

"Want to sleep in my room tonight? I want you next to me". Ha Joon said looking at Alexandra who laughed nervously. "Ah! Ermm! What about tomorrow, you could come to my side". Alexandra replied smiling.

"Ho Jun will be in right now, he will definitely feel sad". Alexandra thought.

"Okay, that is fine....i am sleepy, let's see tomorrow alright?". Ha Joon said. "Yes we will definitely see tomorrow". Alexandra replied.

Alexandra got to her room, she could see Eun-Kyung and Justina fast asleep, she lay on the bed next to Justina and could see her moaning in her sleep. "I am sure she is having a dream about Ki Woo". Eun-Kyung said smiling.

She smiled at the thought of Ha Joon. "He must be really going through hard time right now, poor Ha Joon" Alexandra thought and picked up her phone.

"Are you in now?" She sent the message to Ha Joon and stare at her phone waiting for his reply. After a long while, she slept off while waiting for his reply.

The next day, Alexandra remembered Ha Joon didn't reply her, she took her phone and could see his text. She sighed in relief.

"Sorry babe, i was in the shower, yes I am in and about to hop on bed...what about you?"

"He sent it 10 minutes after I sent him my text, I fell asleep so fast...wow", Alexandra said, she giggled. "Relationship is sweet" she said.

"With the right person".

Alexandra turned and could see Eun-Kyung coming out of the washroom. "Relationship is sweet with the right person sweetheart." Eun-Kyung added.

"Tell me more...." Alexandra sat up. "All the relationships I have seen so far are great, except for my Mom and Dad". Alexandra said

"That is what you are seeing, you don't follow them home honey, most people pretend they are fine and deep down they are not. Everything depends on the kind of partner you got". Eun-Kyung said.

Alexandra sighed, "that is true though, I hope everyone get happy in their relationship, sweet relationship is amazing, I am really enjoying my time with Ha Joon and I want it to be that way forever". Alexandra replied happily, she fell on her bed smiling.

"Awe, someone is so happy, I am happy for you Alex, Ha Joon is lucky to have you, you are also lucky to have him, he has been lonely for a long time....I am glad you have each other". Eun-Kyung replied.

Alexandra jumped out of bed and hug Eun-Kyung. "I love you". Alexandra said.

"You better!" Eun-Kyung replied smiling.

"Hold on, where is Justina? I thought I saw her yesterday night". Alexandra said, she sat on the bed and could see Eun-Kyung wearing her shirt. "She left early this morning, girl! Your friend is in love with Ki Woo". Eun-Kyung replied.

"I hope Ki Woo is real with her, or I will kill him myself". Alexandra said jokingly.

"I don't think he will do that, Ki Woo is really cool and I have never seen him with any girl since I have known him". Eun-Kyung added.

"He better be". Alexandra said as she smirked at Eun-Kyung. "Hey...hey, calm down lady! I am not Ki Woo". Eun-Kyung said as they both laughed out.

"Are you going out?"

"Yeah, going home today, I miss mom". Eun-Kyung answered. "Wanna come?" She asked.

"Awe, I would love to...but...."

"But....Ha Joon?" Eun-Kyung looked at Alexandra who laughed out. "Yes! Of course". Alexandra replied.

After awhile, Eun-Kyung left. Alexandra was in the shower when she heard a knock on the door, she used her body towel and walked out of the shower. "Justina?" She said.

"Justina! Where did you....."

She opened the door and could see Ha Joon standing right in front of him. Ha Joon looked at Alexandra who was half naked, he swallowed hard. "You...you are not in your clothes." He staggered.

Alexandra closed the door immediately "oh my!" She groaned softly and ran to her closet, she wore a shirt and panties, she breathe in deeply.

"Hey babe". She said as she opened the door, "come in" she laughed nervously. Ha Joon sat on her bed, he looked at her from her legs up to her face. "She is sexy". He thought.

"No, no Ha Joon, control your mind, stop having bad thought".
