Facetime

The next morning, I heard a knock at my door. That woke me up. I got out of bed and went to the door. I opened it and smiled.

"Jin!"

"Hey! Good morning! I brought you breakfast again!"

He gives me the tray. I take it from him.

"Thank you! Why don't you come in?"

"I would love to, but I have work to do."

"Oh, come on. Just for a little while won't hurt."

Jin thinks.

"Okay, I'll come in."

"Yay!"

Jin comes in and I lock the door behind him. We both sit on the floor, leaning our backs against the wall.

"So, are you enjoying your stay here?"

"Of course I am! I'm having a blast! I'm also starving, so I'm gonna eat now!"

Jin laughs.

"I know how hungry you are."

Then, a lightbulb goes off in my head.

"Hey, why don't you eat with me? I can share."

"No, no. It's okay. I don't eat with other guests, or even come in their rooms."

"Did you eat breakfast?"

"No..."

I gasp.

"No way! You must be starving! Here, have some of my pancakes and coffee."

"Navya, it's okay. I'm not that hungry. It DOES look pretty good, though."

"Take some. I don't mind. Jin, you need to eat. Please."

We both look at each other, locking eyes. Jin sighs and smiles.

"Fine. Give me some."

I smile and give him a pancake and some coffee.

"How is it?"

"It's good. Really delicious."

Jin takes a sip of coffee.

"I told you. So, how long have you been working here?"

"For a while. I enjoy it, most of the time."

"Most of the time? Why?"

"Like I told you when you first arrived here. I get scolded sometimes for not doing things right. I even forget simple things. It's hard, but I get through it."

I felt bad for Jin. He was doing such a great job as a hotelier.

"Oh, wow. To be honest, you're a really good hotelier."

Jin looks up at me.

"Really?"

I nod and smile.

"Well, thanks. You know, I've been wondering about this for a while, but I wasn't sure what the answer was."

"Oh, is that so? Well, what is it?"

I take a sip of my coffee.

"It's about the kiss we shared last night."

I almost choke and spit my coffee out.

"Oh, that! W-what about it?"

Jin takes a deep breath.

"Are we a couple?"
