Chapter Five

My vision blurs. My heartbeat speeds. Did I hear correctly?

“I’ve been…having bad dreams,” he says softly. “The last couple of nights, since I

stopped taking the painkillers. I know it’s…childish of me.”

“No, it’s not.” I sneer inwardly at myself for hesitating and causing him

embarrassment. “Of course I don’t mind. I’ve been having bad dreams too.”

His eyes widen. “Have you?”

I nod. Every night I wake up at some point in a sweat, jerked out of sleep by the

ghastly image of Jun being knifed. Of course, I won’t tell him this. “Yeah.”

He lets out a small breath. “Thank you. I wouldn’t ask, but…every night now they

wake me up. I’ve been wanting to ask you to stay in here. You’ve just already done so

much for me.” Shyly, he looks down.

“It’s no problem at all. I’m happy to stay here.” I work to keep my voice from

trembling. “I’ll get ready for bed, and then I’ll come back.” Even though it’s still pretty

early, I want him to get plenty of rest.

Another shy smile and then he nods. “Okay. I’ll finish packing.” He picks up his

backpack and starts stuffing in the folded clothes sitting on the floor around him.

When I come back a short while later, his room is squared away and he’s in the

bathroom, brushing his teeth. I stand at the bedroom doorway, reluctant to enter when

he’s not there.

Before Jun’s mom left, this was my bedroom. Jun and I shared it when Jun moved

to give me and Jun space for our schoolbooks and to do homework.

After Dad died, I moved into Dad’s room so that Jun would have privacy.

For some reason, I had expected Jun to do major redecorating when he got the room

to himself, but he never did. He kept it mostly the way it was when we shared it. The

only change he made was to push the two twin beds together into the far corner and

cover them with one large shimmery dark purple spread topped with an array of

pillows. Also, instead of holding our school text books, the bookshelves are now piled

with his men’s fashion magazines, some magazines on interior design and a few

scented candles. Jun never even took down the pictures of motorcycles I’d torn out of

magazines and put up.

The water stops in the bathroom out in the hall and Jun emerges, flicks off the light.

He smiles when he sees me. “Thanks for doing this,” he says and goes ahead of me

into the room.

“No problem.” My heart is pounding hard as prepares the bed for the night. The

process is a bit of a production with all those decorative pillows. I watch him pick one

up one and drop it into a wicker basket in the corner.

He picks up several more pillows at once and glances at me. “I know I act like I’ve

forgotten staying in your bed with you during…the bad time,” he says and places the
