my 8 soulmates

don't overwork

Seonghwas POV: 

I sighed. "Why? Why is EVERY. SINGLE. POT  on the floor?"

Hongjoong and Sophie turned to me and Hongjoong greeted me: "Good morning, Hwa. Well, I was trying to cook a breakfast for our angel. But I didn't really knew how. And then I needed to find the bowls. So I ....took them all out?" I could see the light emberrassment on Hongjoongs face.

"Aish, you should just have asked me. Look at my perfectly clean kitchen! Now everything needs to be cleaned up again." I shook my head and walked towards them. "I'm sorry. I will clean it up afterwards. I promise!" "No need, you are already working far too much, Hongjoong. I'll do it after breakfast. In that way I can also make sure everything goes back in the right place." I ruffled his hair and then I went over to Sophie.

I kissed her temple "Good morning, princess! I hope you have slept well and could regain some energy." I caressed her back when pictures of our balcony flashed through my mind. Well not exactly my mind, but Sophies. Before I could see what happened on there the picture was gone. Sophie continued to eat her cereals while humming a yes.

I looked in front of Hongjoong who sat there without any food. Let's get to work, cooking time! And with that I went to the stove and made some ramen for everyone.

"So, where do you and your family come from?" I heard Hongjoong asking. A sad smile settled on Sophie lips for the split of a second. "I'm from Germany actually. I've lived near Berlin."

Hongjoong asked her about her daily life in Germany, her eating habits and so on. And just like that the both of them were having a good conversation flow. No more nervous rambling for him. That's good. He is more relaxed now with her being in the same room. After some time Sophie finished her bowl of cereals and Hongjoong was busy eating the ramen I've cooked.

I decided that this was my chance to ask her.

"So...what happened on the balcony?" Sophies opened and closed her mouth for a few times before she slowly began to explain what happened over night.

"I'm happy that this meeting wasn't as painful as the others, but you really need to take care of you and your body. Please princess, don't overwork yourself. I've already got one in my household that do this all the time!" I said with an accusing sideglance to Hongjoong, who happens to dive even deeper into his breakfast, so that he could avoid my glance.
