I could feel heart heart start to race as Lily was looking at me, waiting for me speak my question. My grip on the steering wheel became tighter and I felt my palms start to sweat.

"" I finally confessed. It's harder to confess to her than I thought.

Her face became red and she adverted her gaze to the road. The light changed green and I started to drive. It might be too soon already.

"" I heard Lily say.

My heart beating at the speed of light, I thought I might have a heart attack. Thankfully I'm not showing my childish side through this. Stay mature, Jieun.

"" I smiled at her. She had a wide smile too.

"" She asked.

"" I need to tell her about IU, how that is who I am.

"" she chuckled.

I nudged her playfully ""

"" she joked back. I chuckled and shook my head. Why was she so cute?

"" She changed the topic back.

"" I spoke. I started to get nervous again.

""

My eyes widened ""

"" Lily told me.

"" I chuckled nervously.

"" Lily smiled and looked at me and I nodded my head in agreement.

We arrived at my house and I opened the door for her, my driver parked the car in the garage and we went inside.

"" I ask her. She nodded her head and thanked me.

I got her some fruit to go along with the snack. While I was waiting by the stove, I looked over to her. She was concentrating on her work perfectly.

But it looked like she was stuck on a problem. Once I was done, I brought the food over to her.

"" She thanked me.

"" I asked her. Though I haven't been in school a while, I'm sure I might be able to help somehow.

"" Lily pointed to the paper.

I tried helping her out the best I could, school definitely changed since I graduated though.

We both love Korean language the most but it stumped us both.

She got done with her homework quickly after that and we started to watch a movie, and about half way through she started to fall asleep. She leaned her head on my shoulder which made my heart melt tremendously.

After a while I took her up to my bed and lied her there. I pulled the blankets over her and made sure she was tucked in.

I sat in a chair that was on the side of the bed and rested.

After a while she woke up.

"" I heard Lily call out.

She sat up quickly and looked around the room when she found me.

"" Lily asked in a soft voice.

I think she went into little space.

"" I asked her. She shook her head and fiddled with the blanket.

"" She asked me. I could see she was, her eyes were drooping shut as she talked.

"" I told her and got up to place the cover over her again. I went to sit back in the chair but she tugged on my hoodie sleeve.

"" She gave me a pout. Gosh it was so adorable. I nodded and got under the covers.

"" Lily mumbled.

"" I asked. I really hope so, I've been trying really really hard to gain her trust as much as I can.

"" Lily mumbled again and snuggled into my arms. If I wasn't already dead, then this is the death of me.
