59 Stay (1/2)

There was a slight pause before Yoona spoke.

”I mean if you want to, I can't stop you,” she replied. Then she pointed her index finger at him. ”But don't push yourself too much.”

”I won't.”

——-

Not realizing how fast time was pa.s.sing by, the sky soon turned dark and the stars began to wake up from their slumber. When Yoona saw how late it was becoming, she lightly tapped on Minhyun shoulders.

”I think we should go now - you have work tomorrow and I have school.”

Minhyun did not want to leave, but he knew where his priorities laid. He quickly stood up and dusted off the rocky bits off his suit. After he was finished, he offered Yoona a hand to head her stand up.

When she accepted, he gently pulled her up.

”Let's go.”

Since they were quite far from the city they needed to leave earlier than they wished to. Both of them were adults who needed to tend their work tomorrow.

As they did not stray far from their original spot, they quickly walked to Minhyun's car before starting their long drive.

The area they were in was very unfamiliar to Minhyun. After all, he had been abroad for most of his life. Plus, he did not drive often as he had chauffeurs to do the job for him. Therefore, he spent a lot of time focusing on the gps to get on the main roads. About thirty minutes of silence past while he started the drive.

Once he cleared his confusion, Minhyun noticed that his companion was especially quiet. He decided to call out her name to see if anything was wrong. ”Yoona?”

Since he was so focused on driving, he didn't realize that she was fast asleep. Her head rested against the cold window as her soft breathes echoed through the air.

He chuckled. How cute.

He didn't want to wake her up so he let her be.

They silently drove under the night sky for hours. Once in a while, Minhyun would glance over at Yoona to check if she was okay.

Finally, Minhyun stopped the car front of her apartment. They had finally arrived. For some reason, a sense of dread dawned upon him when he realized their time was over. Nonetheless he still had to wake her up to separate.

His eyes lingered on her face for a moment, before he gently shook her shoulder. ”Wake up. We're here.”

Yoona's eyes fluttered open. She stretched her arms out with a large yawn before rubbing her eyes. ”Already?”

She turned to face the window to indeed find that she was back at home. When she looked down at her watch, she noticed that it twelve. They'd been driving for quite some time. She felt a bit apologetic towards Minhyun, since he had to stay awake during the whole ride.

Yoona let out another yawn, covering her mouth as it widened. ”Sorry about sleeping. I didn't realize that I was napping the whole drive there.”

”It's alright,” Minhyun replied. He turned off the engine of the car. ”You must've been tired.”

She let out a teasing smile despite her half-closed eyes. ”Was I? I think it was your comfy car seats that brought me to my slumber.”

”Oh G.o.d.”

His judgmental expression did not go unnoticed. She crossed her arms. Now she was fully awake. ”Don't look at me that way. It's not my fault this single car seat costs more than my whole bed. It's very comfy and a great subst.i.tute.”
