Hold My Hand

( I suddenly felt like everything is targeted on me. )

The headmaster took out his papers as we exit the room. I was wobbling a little as we head to the elevator.

"Dae-hun, are you okay?"

Yun-wook asked me. His voice was as soft as always.

"I'm doing okay. I just feel a bit uneas-"

"Would you feel better if I hold your hand?"

Hwanim asked as he held my wrist.

"E-eh?? I-"

"Hey. *I'm* the one talking to him."

"Oh? You're not even doing anything."

"Can you quit holding his wrist like that? I think he feels uncomfortable when a high level assassin is making physical contact."

"Hmhm—well you seem to be in a brave mood."

( Are they fighting over me? )

"...can you two please calm down?"

I said as I walked pass in between them.

"You two do know that...you two can hold one hand each. I have, two hands you know."

They both immediately look away from each other. Yun-wook gently held my hand trying his best not to annoy me, while Hwanim help my wrist with his soft skin.

They didn't look at each other until we got on the elevator. Yun-wook didn't let go of my hand—but, I don't mind. It makes me feel safe and secure.

We arrived at the third floor and went to our dormitory. I didn't know where ours were, good thing Hwanim helped us.

"Oh, would you look at that. At the end of the hallway, is our room."

Hwanim said in a joking manner.

"Never thought that we'd change dormitories."

I said to myself. I then walked around the room trying to find a spot where I can drop my stuff.

"Oh, bunk beds—I claim the top bunk"

Yun-wook claimed. Hwanim sat on the bottom bunk while fixing stuff in his bag.

( I don't wanna see what's inside there. )

"Then I guess I'll be on the bottom bunk."

"Then where am I gonna be?"

I asked with a timid voice. I felt nervous for some reason, I suddenly felt like they'll get annoyed.

"I'm sorry-"

"I can sleep on the floor."

Hwanim cut me off. He said it so naturally like he doesn't mind it, why would he sleep on such a dirty floor?

I tried to group up the words I should say before letting anything out of my mouth. I took a deep breath.

"No, There's enough space for two people on the bottom bunk, right?"

( We just met. What am I thinking? They're going to find me weird... )

"...Hwanim, let's switch places."

"What—no. You already claimed that top bunk."

"And Dae-hun haven't claimed anything yet. So?"

( I need to think about what I should say. I mustn't take a long time, they're waiting for me to say something. )

"Uh...Maybe you two can sleep on the bottom bunk?"

( Dae-hun that was really stupid. )

They both looked surprised and it seems like they weren't expecting that kind of answer.

"So, what you're saying is that, me and Hwanim should be on the bottom bunk, and you'll be on the top bunk?"

"Just say yes please, I want to sleep—Its already past 11..."

I yawned. I then crouched at the corner to pack up my things for tomorrow. I saw Yun-wook and Hwanim sitting next to each other, basically just disliking one another.

"Good night."

I told them. I made my way on the top bunk and drifted to sleep.

( I might need you for tomorrow... )
