Lost in the moment

Chapter 4: the guest

╰☆╮

Feeling the warm rays of the sun on his skin, Kris blinked his eyes adjusting to the brightness that enters his room.

Normally, before Kris goes to sleep, he makes it a habit to close all curtains to prevent any sun rays entering his room when there is no school.

He wonders why he didn't do so last night. And then it struck him.

He saw a ghost. He laughed at his silliness. 

Because he realised that it was only Audrey.

Is she alright? kris wondered.

Here is one fact about Kris, whenever he sees a ghost, he tends to faint.

Chanyeol and Baekhyun tried to help Kris to overcome his fear of ghosts. Whenever they have free time, they would go to Kris's house and watch a horror movie with him.

Kris tried. He tried to overcome his fear but he just can't seem to do it. When the horror movie would start playing, he would just play with his phone without Chanyeol and Baekhyun's knowledge. He would avoid to look at the screen no matter what.

As he sit up on his bed, he heard a knock on his door.

"come in" he said. his voice sounded hoarse.

His eyes widened for a moment when he saw the person who entered his room but soon, a smile formed on his lips.

"Hello." Audrey greeted with a blush forming on her cheeks as closed his door.

"Hello." Kris greeted.

Audrey walked in his room and stood at the edge of his bed - carrying a plastic bag.

"How are you?" 

"How are you?" both of them spoke at the same time. they laughed.

"I should be the one asking you that. Are you okay? You fell down with a loud thud last night" Kris said.

He told Audrey to take a sit so she sat at the corner of his bed.

"Yeah I'm good" she replied.

"See? perfectly fine." Audrey knocked on her head where the curtain fell on her and smiled.

"You. Are you okay? You suddenly fainted last night" She asked worried.

"Don't worry about me. You should be more careful next time" he said. Audrey nodded. 

"I panicked when i saw you faint. Believe it or not, I rushed to your house to help you call your mom. I looked like a mess that hour. That's why you mistaken me for a ghost, didn't you?" Audrey laughed and pushed her glasses back up. 

Kris just stared at Audrey. Her hair is tied in a ponytail. Her face is flawless. No pimples or acne. She wears a black rimmed glasses and braces. She has this chubby cheeks. He wants to pinch it for some reason. Kris found Audrey cute. She's quite but chubby and that's perfectly fine with him. He smiled unknowingly. He can't wait to get to know Audrey more. 

"Kris? You alright?" Audrey waved her hand near his face which brought him back to his senses. 

"Huh? Yeah. I'm fine" 

"Your Mom came to our house earlier this morning. She asked if I could accompany you while she went to the grocery. If you want some time alone, just tell me if you want me to leave, alright?" Audrey said. 

"No. I would like some company. Please stay" Kris blurted out. Realising what he just said, he mentally face palmed himself.

She blushed at his response. 

Audrey handed Kris over a plastic bag. 

"My mom made that porridge for you this morning. She told you to Get well soon" 

Kris took the plastic bag and took the container out.   

"Smells good" He complimented. "Thank you" 

"Have you had your breakfast?" he asked

"Yup. You should eat that before it gets cold" Audrey pointed at the porridge. 

"You're right. Come on, lets head down to the kitchen"

"This so delicious!!" Kris exclaimed. 

Audrey watched Kris while he gobbled down the porridge. 

so adorable. she smiled.

After placing his empty plate of porridge in the sink, Kris led Audrey to their living room. 

"Want to watch a movie?" he asked. 

"Sure" 

Kris took out several DVD cases and handed it over to Audrey.  

"You're the guest. Choose any movie you like" he said. 

While Audrey picked the movie, Kris went to cook some popcorn.

On a Sunday morning, Audrey and Kris watches a movie alone at home. What could possibly happen?
