Nyx's POV
Moonlighting myself has kept me extremely busy. I don't really like it, working for someone, but not speaking Korean, I can't be a personal chef like I was back home. But I'm not really complaining, I can name my price and this way we've managed to save some money.
The guys' visit last week was an unexpected surprise. One I welcomed, and my time with Jimin in my room was so sweet. And I keep falling more and more in love; I'm absolutely not sad about it. In fact I almost told him and I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out.
"Nyx? You okay?" I hear on my left side. Looking at the line cook I nod my head and focus back on my work. I need to focus but my mind is relentless, thinking about them. All of them, even Namjoon and Yoongi. Just a small half hour and the breakfast shift is over. Funnily it's the little diner Jimin took me to on our date and now I'm on the other side and get to prepare the pajeon we ate.
It smells delicious and my stomach grumbles. The line cooks next to me laugh hearing my stomach but I ignore them. The time ticks slowly and I can't wait to get out of here and back home. My body aches and I don't know why. The headache is a constant presence and all I want to do is sleep.
Finally all tickets are prepared and I help clean the kitchen. When it's finished I walk to the manager and he thanks me for my work as he pays me. "Thank you Nyx. And on such short notice too. Thank you again. And I'll definitely call you again should we need it." He bids me farewell and I get my belongings and make my way outside. Now the long walk home, I don't want to waste money on a taxi.
Luckily the weather is nice and despite it taking a long time to walk home I enjoy the journey. On the way I pass a Starbucks and I make a small stop for my favorite coffee. Sipping it as I resume my way home my mood lifts. For the rest of the day I don't have to be anywhere else and I plan on catching up on some sleep. Nari is working the day shift today so I'm alone anyway.
Arriving home I get greeted by Cas and I get his service vest and attach the leash when he's wearing it. A quick stop at the park so he can do his business we walk back home. Inside I unleash him and remove the vest. He trots towards the couch, jumps up and lies down, head on his legs, looking at me with sad eyes. Laughing I go to the kitchen, check if Cas needs anything and make myself a small breakfast.
I join Cas on the couch as I eat my breakfast and flicking through the channels. When I see Namjoon's face I halt, Fake Love. Despite my anger I watch the rest of the MV. I clean the dishes and when I'm about to enter my room for that desired sleep I hear knocking on the front door. Who could that be? I'm not expecting anyone and Nari has a key.
Looking through the peephole I'm greeted with carton brown. My curiosity grows with every passing second. Cas is next to me, alert, I don't have to tell him what to do. He knows it's weird to have visitors. He's such a smart dog and I'm happy he's here to protect me. Patting his head, I open the door.
A big carton box is shoved into my arms and I still don't know who it is. Lowering it so I can look over it I look right into Jimin's eyes. Cas has already sniffed his legs and is on his way back to the couch. So much for my guard dog, "what are you doing here?" It's not what I wanted to say, but my mouth has other plans.
"I came to see my little Siren." He pouts, "but you're not happy to see me, so I'll go." And he turns around to leave.
"I didn't say I wasn't happy, Minji." I reply immediately. I'm very happy to see him, didn't expect it, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. He turns around again and motions for me to move so he can come in. Still holding the big carton, of which I don't know the contents, I turn and carry it to the coffee table. Setting it down I hear the front door click.
