12 : Breakfast (My Hunches Are Always Right)

[ NISHIMURA MIU ]

Our conversation got interrupted when someone entered the kitchen. Riki didn't bother to glance at us, he went straight to the refrigerator and grabbed a can of soda.

He seems frustrated.

"What's the matter?" I asked out of curiosity and confusion. He shook his head and continued chugging down the liquid.

My forehead creased when he held the can tightly, slowly crushing it. "I told you. Fill up my room's mini refrigerator with can sodas so I don't have to come down here." He stated without looking at someone.

My eyes got drawn to Yena who immediately stood up and bowed, "My apologies, Young Master. I forgot-"

"You shouldn't have applied for this job if you're just going to be stupid and dumb." Riki turned around and glared at Yena intently. I gulped and stood up as well,

"It's just a small mistake, Riki-"

"Shut up, Miu."

I flinched. This brat has the guts to cut me off?!

I rolled my eyes and looked at Yena again who is still lowering her head, "It's okay, Yena. Raise your head."

I saw how she swallowed hard before slowly raising her head. I scoffed and fixed my eyes on Riki. He just shook his head unbelievably.

I signaled Yena to get out of the kitchen. She pursed her lips and immediately went outside. Riki followed her with his gaze, "She's young, Riki. Go easy on her."

He chuckled sarcastically, "What did you eat today? You are not being yourself. Where is the bratty Miu?"

I rolled my eyes and sighed, "I am just saying."

"I have a bad feeling about her." He stated out of nowhere. I emotionlessly looked at him and raised a brow.

"What are you saying?"

He clenched his jaw and sat on the chair beside me. He stared at the doorway where Yena passed by earlier, "I don't know why... but I don't trust her."

My lips twitched, "We feel the exact opposite. I am planning to befriend her."

Riki's forehead creased as he looked at me, "Are you crazy?"

"You're the one who's crazy here. How could you judge her so quickly? She's literally not doing anything wrong."

Riki scoffed, "For now, Miu. Wait until her true colors come out. I am sure she has an ill intention towards our family." He looked away and stood up as he went towards the doorway. I followed him with my gaze. My brows shot up when he stopped walking midway,

"You know how my hunches are always right." He finally said before walking away.

I CLIMED on my bed and grabbed my phone on the side table. I saw one text message notification, so I opened it.

Jay:
Miu, sorry. I was insensitive earlier.

I scoffed and did not bother to reply. I just closed my eyes and let myself fall into a deep sleep.

The next morning, I was greeted with Ms. Cha's worried face. I raised a brow and looked around, "What's happening?"

"Park Jongseong is waiting for you downstairs, Young Lady." With what she said, my mouth immediately widened. I grabbed my phone. There were no text messages from him aside from last night. He did not even bother to remind me that he is going to be here?!

"Tell him..." I flinched, "To leave!"

Ms. Cha plastered a confused expression, "Okay, I will-"

"No! Tell him to wait for me." I gulped and stood up to fix myself. I stared at the mirror. Calm down, Miu. It's just Jay. Why are you nervous?

I saw him in the living room. He was sitting while leaning his elbows on his lap, his fingers were interlaced. He looked up when he noticed me.

"Good morning, Miu." He stood up and flashed a smile.

I gulped and walked towards him, "What are you doing here?"

"To fetch you?" He replied, still not removing his smile, "Actually I couldn't sleep properly last night. I was worried when you didn't text me back."

I arched a brow, "And why is that? You don't care if I don't text back. We are not in a relationship or something."

What the hell? Out of all the words existing, why did I choose to say that?!

"I..." Jay swallowed hard and looked away, "You're right..." He muttered under his breath.

I scoffed, "Are you done eating your breakfast?"

He shook his head, "I just had coffee-"

"Let's have breakfast together." I stated without showing any emotion as I walked past him.
