The clock read 21:45 when I finished cleaning the dance halls. I headed back to the nurses office to see Jungwon still asleep, and Sunghoon asleep on a chair with his head on Jungwons bed.
This scenery forced a small smile on my face. Sunghoon must really care for Jungwon that he is willing to stay up here all night with him. And we got school tomorrow.
Suddenly, I heard a phone ring. I went over to where the ring came from and saw that it was Sunghoons phone in the pocket of his bag. That woke him up as well.
"Oh, you are back?" He said with a raspy morning voice as he slowly rubbed his eyes.
"Uhm... Yeah. Your phone is ringing." I stated as I handed him his phone. He quickly answered as he saw the caller ID.
"Hey mom... yeah... yes I'll be right there. I'm sorry for making you worry." He then removed his phone from his ear.
"I have to go." He said as he packed his stuff.
"Oh okay." I mumbled.
Dang it. I wished we could talk about us. About why we are so awkward. About why he won't say hi to me anymore.
About why I want him to say hi to me...
"But we cant leave him here." Sunghoon stated.
He then went through Jungwon pockets and grabbed his phone.
"Shouldn't we call someone to pick him up?" I asked.
"I called his personal driver 3 times while you were working. He didn't answer." Sunghoon said as he tried guess Jungwon passcode.
"Dude, Jungwon is sick and you call his driver? A normal persons instinct would be to call the parent.." I trailed off making Sunghoon look up to me. "They sure don't call you ice prince for nothing."
"Well I have to live up to that name after all." He said with a smirk, but then he went back to a straight face. "So I'm not normal?" He suddenly asked.
I gulped. Maybe that came out wrong.
"That's not what I..." I started but he cut me off. "It's okay. I know what you meant." He said as he tried Jungwons passcode again.
Afraid for the phone to get disabled, I told him the code.
"301120" I said to him.
"That's our debut date." He looked at me with a soft look. "I kind of feel bad for him sometimes. I know that he is mentally capable of leading us and he has done a good job so far, but at the end of the day he is just a kid. We should be the ones looking after him but he is the leader so it always ends up the other way round." He sighed.
I totally get what he is saying. Jungwon is the leader of Enhypen, and I don't doubt he is doing a great job. But it's almost like his childhood got taken from him at such an early age and all of a sudden he had to be responsible for both himself as well as the other members.
