Before reading this story you wouldn't guess that a hindrance to your daily route ends up changing your life forever.
After all,
It doesn't happen everyday that you end up babysitting a man in compensation for an accident.
After all the daily banter...
"instant noodles isn't something a patient's gotta eat. I made japchae and avocado sandwiches.", I chuckled.
Once again he had a similar look he gave me last night. Like it was his first time being taken care of.
"now now.. You look like a starving kid", I said as I kept the packets on the table.
"What the heck you just said you MADE japchae and sandwiches", he emphasized the word "made".
"Yes I made them come into our apartment.", I smiled widely.
"Whoa... I can't believe.. I got tricked by you.", he pointed at me and continued, "How I wish someone had cooked it for me"
"Well I would.."
"IF YOU HAD SOMETHING TO CALL CROCKERY IN THIS GODDAMN APARTMENT!", I stooped at his level to emphasize but instead, the carpet under my foot scrolled, causing me to fall on Wonwoo's lap right before he held my shoulder. Now we were face to face, only inches apart; Looking straight into each other's eyes. Neither did he move, nor I.
Until he finally squirmed in pain, "Ahhhh why did you have to fall on a broken person??"
"I'm so sorry I'm so sorry", I got up and pressed his shoulder gently so as to ease the pain. His fractured hand must have been burdened by me. Why must he hold me to create a scene like that? More importantly, why did I - Arghhh!
"I'm really sor-"
"Compensate for this then", he calmly sat back.

"how?"
"feed me", he looked up at me with bright, hopeful eyes. My eyes wandered to avoid his.
"Ahh I'm not flirting just feed me I'm very hungry but it's paining when I try to lift my arm."
"Ahh okay okay", I sat next to him and gave him a big bite.
"You eat too.", he motioned me to eat with the same spoon that he ate from. I was totally flustered as heat came back to my cheeks. They must be pinkish by now because Wonwoo actually noticed them and out of nowhere, he touched my cheek, "Whoa are you blushing?"
You're not gonna believe this, I just now realized that he loves teasing me.
"No.. Who is.. I must've gotten a fever. I didn't sleep well last night.."
"I know", he calmly replied while motioning me for the next bite.
"How do you know? We're you staring at me?", I said as I fed a spoonful of japchae to him.
It was now his turn to stutter, but instead he choked on his food. I quickly fetched the bottle while he coughed for dear life. I unopened the bottle and put it to his lips, holding his chin with my other hand. How much more could I have babied a grown man?
