An Unbreakable Love

Chp.20 'Sick'

The morning rays fell on my face which made me squint my eyes and rub them. I got up and realized that I am not in my room. Right. I am in Jimin's room. I don't remember when I fell asleep on the small sofa in his room. I looked towards the bed and found him asleep. Images of yesterday started appearing in my mind. I kissed him on the forehead... of course, I did. Don't know why but I had this huge urge to be close to him. 

Anyway. Thank god he is still sleeping otherwise he would have shouted at me for entering his forbidden bedroom. I take a look at his now peaceful face and head out of the room.

After taking shower and thinking about Jimin while doing so, I sit at the dining table waiting for breakfast. Lily and Lina were soon done making the breakfast and were serving it when Jimin came downstairs. He was in his work attire in a black formal suit looking like his usual self. His face was back to normal as if he was not experiencing a nightmare last night. His eyes were puffy. So he did cry alone. Realizing that I was staring at him for a long time, I averted my eyes and looked at the plate in front of me. Does he remember that I came into his room last night? But why would he.. no he probably didn't otherwise he would have said something about it.

I heard him clear his throat.

" I will be going on business trips soon." Oh.

" When?"

" Not  decided yet but I won't be staying home lately." Okay.

" For how many days will you be gone?" 

" One or two weeks mostly. Depends." There was a long pause which made me think that it was the end of the conversation but no.

" I will come home late tonight. I have things to take care of in the company so I can go on the business trips." 

I am happy that he was talking to me nicely. I muttered a quiet okay and continued eating. I thought that he would join me for the breakfast but he started walking towards the door. Is he not going to eat? 

Why do you care?  My conscious asked me but I ignored it because it was a question to which I didn't have any answer.

" Are you not going to eat?" I asked before he could reach for the door. He turned around and answered. " No. I'll have it in the office." I hope you do.

I also wanted to ask him whether he was okay but he left as soon as he answered. 

I realized one thing though. This was the first decent conversation we had till now and I am happy. I am happy that he is not being a jerk anymore...at least for now. I am also having a little hope in a certain corner of my heart that maybe...just maybe there are chances for our relationship to improve.

I spent the day doing nothing productive except helping Lily and Lina do some work. I was getting bored as I had nothing to do. I watched TV and talked to Lily and Lina. They both are good to me. I asked them about their lives and we had good conversations.

In the evening Lisa called me to ask about my new married life. She asked me about Jimin too. I informed her about Granny's death and she felt sorry for Jimin. 

Currently, I am sitting on the couch in the living room with a book in my hand. I found it on one of the shelves and thought of reading it to pass my time. The clock shows 9 pm. The time when Jimin usually comes home but he hasn't yet. Right, he is coming late tonight. 

I thought of Jimin a lot today. I wanted to call him and ask him if he had his breakfast, his lunch, and whether he was ok but I know I can't. I don't have any right to.
