Naked Minds: Reading your mind like an open book

<< OFF >>

I was almost done making breakfast for 8 hungry guys and potentially one more girl when the guys started going downstairs and joining me. Each one of them were wearing a bedroom hair and the provided pjs stored in each room. I've used to having at least a pair of PJs in every rooms since my friends used to crash when they just wanted to.

"Where's Gun?" New asked half awake.

"Good morning to you, too." I greeted. "He's still sleeping. Let me wake him up." I placed the food on the center of the table.

I was halfway out of the dining area when I heard his thoughts so I slowed my pace down, "Maybe the dream won't happen since Off won't be here. Still, it's likely that P'Kwang would still arrive regardless. I bet it would only be Off who can calm her down."

"Just make yourselves at home. I'll get Gun." I turned before trying to leave the place.

"Off, why don't you eat with us. Let Gun sleep for the time being. I'm sure he's exhausted." New stopped me in my tracks,

"I guess letting him sleep for a few more hours would be good for him. I can just cook a new one before he wakes up." I said rejoining them.

True to New's dream, P'Kwang did storm in while we were having our breakfast. Behind her were Maetee and T-rex.

"Let's discuss this some more when Gun wakes up, P." I said after she was done saying her piece. "Why don't you eat for now. I'm sure you're hungry. Maetee, T-rex, I've also made breakfast for you. Go ahead and eat for now."

P'Kwang looked at me but still obediently sat with us and joined us for breakfast.

"I was right. It's only Off who could calm her down." New thought.

"You brats are such a handful." She complained. "The six of you would be the death of me." She added while she filled her plate.

"Just enjoy your breakfast. I'll call Gun so can join us." I headed for the room and didn't bother to stop despite the fact New and Singto were panicking in their minds.

Gun was still asleep when I got back in. I can't stop myself from moving his hair covering his face. I still managed to stop myself from sitting down and potentially waking him up. It only took that small gesture for him to wake up.

"Sorry for waking you up." I spoke softly. "Would you like to join us for breakfast? P'Kwang just arrived." I sat down beside him.

"I'd rather sleep." he mumbled.

I could already feel heat emanating from his body. I touched his forehead to check his temperature. "Gun, you're having a fever."

"I'll be fine after some rest. ." he turned to hug his pillow.

"I'll bring some food so you can take some meds."

"Papi, I told you I'll be fine. Just let me sleep it out."

"You still need to eat and take your meds unless you want it as suppository."

"Papi, so naughty!" He playfully slapped my arm.

"I'll get you some food, alirght?"

He just nodded. I kissed him on the forehead before heading back to the dining room. After a quick explanation, I brought some food to Gun and made sure he finished his breakfast and his meds before letting him rest some more.

Everyone was already waiting for me at the living room when I went out.

"How's Gun?" P'Kwang asked as I rejoinged them.
