Let Me In (COMPLETED)

Chapter Nine.

"Good morning, Myst noona! How was your sleep? Not good? Ready to move in to my house?" Ni-ki greeted Myst and the latter chuckled at the boy.

"No!" Luna and Sunoo immediately opposed the younger which made Myst chuckle more.

Though she noticed that Sunghoon didn't greet her. Nor did he waved at her or something. He's just not talking at all.

Myst suddenly remembered about the subject thing. Luna mentioned it to her.

That Sunghoon stopped painting after his mother died.

Myst was sad at that sudden news. She didn't knew that Sunghoon experienced that kind of pain.

While the others are laughing and chitchatting, Myst made her way to the kitchen and started cooking. It has been her routine to cook for her, and the others didn't complain because they really like Myst's cooking.

She was just quietly preparing the ingredients until he came in.

Myst observes him through her peripheral vision, and she saw him drinking water. She tries her best to act normal but Sunghoon already caught him.

"Yes?" He asked. Myst just looked at him innocently and raised an eyebrow. Sunghoon smiled a little. "I saw you peeking."

"Nonsense." And averted her gaze and focused on chopping and preparing.

Then her heart started to beat fast when she felt his presence drawing near.

"How's your stay here?" Sunghoon asked while he was his hands beside Myst.

"It's fine." Myst answered with a small voice. And Sunghoon noticed it.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No. Not at all, in fact Luna is really-"

"I'm talking about me." Myst stopped moving when he said that.

She slowly looked at Sunghoon who was looking at her, she gulped because he look damn serious.

"N-no." Myst find it really hard to speak, not because of his gaze but because her heart can't stop beating fast.

She unconsciously let go of the knife and put her hand to her chest, and breathed heavily. Sunghoon got worried.

"Here." And gave her water, she tried to drink it fast but Sunghoon stopped her. "Slowly." And so she did.

The fast beating didn't stop but she was able to breathe fine. She thinks it's a sign she might leave them sooner.
