My eyes are always searching for you

Chapter 19

After our walk, we went back home. Alex and Emily were as usual not at home. I was a bit tired, so I went to my room to lie down a bit. Minho sat on the sofa and started reading some documents. I came out of my room to prepare our dinner and he was still busy with his work.

He is still working? Such a workaholic! He must be tired, I looked at him with sympathy and admiration.  Ugh... Stop Sarah. He will notice you and then tease you for like forever. But why is he so perfect?! He is hot, handsome, knows how to cook, has such a wonderful body, takes his work sincerely, and so on. He is a perfect Boyfriend material. His future girlfriend must be lucky, I thought.

Oh no Sarah, come out of Minho's admiration room. I need to make our dinner as Alex and Emily aren't here to cook. After the dinner was ready, I served it on the table in the hall, where Minho was working. I knew he won't leave his work for food so I brought it to him. I sat next to him and said, "eat your dinner first."

But he continued to read his documents.
I felt annoyed. I lift his bowl in hand and brought the spoon to his mouth.

He was still busy but he opened his mouth and ate it. Like what! He won't eat dinner but is ready to eat if I feed him. Is he a child? I thought and giggled.

He looked surprised when he suddenly turned to me and said, "Oh Sarah, when did you come? dinner is ready? Were you waiting for me? Sorry I didn't notice."

He was too immersed in his work that he didn't notice me at all! Is he so busy with his work?

I was still holding his spoon and he realized that he had just taken a bite of the food as I had fed him. He became embarrassed as he stood up and then sat again. He didn't know what to do. He seemed so nervous that it seemed funny.

What was I doing? Why did I spoonfeed him as If I was his girlfriend?  I turned red at the realization. I gave him his bowl and began eating mine while trying to cover my embarrassment.

He explained, "Sorry, I didn't realize when I took a bite. Actually, there was someone who used to feed me like this whenever I skipped my meals because of work."

Who was this someone? his girlfriend? maybe or maybe not. The thought itself made me jealous.

We both ate in silence. I was too red with embarrassment to even look at him. When we finished eating. I took everything to the kitchen.

Minho said, "Please leave the dishes and plates in the kitchen. I'll wash them after I finish my work."

I replied "okay", but then I saw his tired face. He must be so tired because of his work. So I washed and cleaned everything before going to bed.

I woke up in the middle of the night as I was thirsty. I went into the hall and saw Minho sleeping with his file on his chest.

He must have slept while reading it. Some documents on the laptop were still open. I saved them and then switched off the device. I took the file from his hands, closed it, and put it on the table.

I brought a blanket and covered him. While I was putting the blanket on him, I noticed his sleeping face. He looked more attractive while sleeping. I stopped and was admiring his face when Alex came out of Emily's room. I panicked and fell on the sofa.

Yeah, On Minho!

Please don't wake up. Please don't wake up! I was praying.

While at the same time, I was also praying, "Please don't notice us. Go to your room straight, Alex."

Alex was rubbing his eyes and went to the kitchen.

I shifted to his side. I was lying just beside Minho. We were just inches away. he was sleeping so soundly. I was trying to lift myself up but then he turned and suddenly opened his eyes.

Damn! I am doomed!
