My Only Girl

Chapter 31

Y/n POV

Bone-chilling waves of cold breeze were entering through panes of half opened windows of my room... I weakly rose from my couch, wrapping myself in my own arms, hoping to get some warmth in the frigid surrounding. My bare feet felt numbed against the cold flooring, as if I was walking on a sheet of iceberg.
With my shivering body and trembling hands, I pulled on the curtains and heaved a sigh of relief as soon as the cold wind stopped invading my flat.

I turned on the TV and all the news channels were surfacing with the bad weather conditions that was hovering over Seoul and other parts of Korea...it had been snowing non stop since last evening and a bulk of snow was deposited everywhere, disrupting the transport and communication lines. Huge traffics were honking on snow draped roads and many had simply abandoned their vehicles on road because of the chilly cold they were not able to endure.

I switched it off with a bulging head, frustration, anger, depression...
Life is a bullshit.

Last night events surfaced through my memory and yet again, I felt myself feeling lifeless... I wondered, if he had reached his home safely...cuz he was here at my place till around 10 p.m....what if??

Shit...what if, he's stuck in a traffic jam in this cold thirsty weather outside...my mind bulged with tension and apprehension. I was reluctant not to, but at last I had to give up as I decided to call Miss Min...she could only update me about him.

I shifted my weight from one foot to another as I waited for the call to be picked up by someone...either by Miss Min or Taehyung.

"Hello... who's that??" Miss Min sounded from other side of the phone, her voice oddly crisp.
"Uhm...Miss Min, this is Y/n here..." I said hesitantly.

A long pause followed from other side, the silence making me feel uncomfortable...my fingers toying with the hem of my shirt.

" Y/n....is Mr Kim with you??" Her voice came hurried filled with concern.

I breathed audibly, my suspicion was correct, he was not home yet.

"I-i am sorry Miss Min but I'd actually called you to know about him only... he's not with me." I said gutlessly.

"Umm...do you...in anyway know, where he might be right now??" She asked, her concern growing as her voice sounded even more tighter than before.
"I'm afraid but I don't.... I'm sorry Miss Min...I need to go." I said and immediately hung up.

I bit my lip in fright...as now I was worried for him...I didn't knew where he might would have gone, or where he must would've been stuck...I crashed my myself on the couch, groaning in distress. The uneasiness was creeping inside me slowly, as my mind clouded with numerous ill thoughts...I leaned out of the window to inspect the situation outside but had to relent, as soon as the freezing gust pricked my body, making goosebumps to arise all over my entire body...it was quite enough for me to take in the severity of the calamity.

Now, I was left with only one bet, that is, to call him personally.
I immediately punched on his phone number and the dialling coursed through my ear, which felt like a entire millennia.

No response

I prayed silently, and again dialled his number. My leg bouncing up and down in uncertainty...

Please pick up the call Tae.... please, please...

Out of the blue, a very familiar muffled sound ringed from outside my flat door....it was indeed so muted that I could hardly grasp it's sound, but it's voice note was strikingly familiar to me...I jumped to my feet in horror as soon as I recognised it as my own voice, singing the lullaby which I always used to sing to Taehyung.
