Ever since we came back from Busan few days ago, I tried so hard to avoid Jake. I'll only come out from my room when I'm making sure that Jake is already out from the house. I know I can't avoid him forever because we're literally living at the same place.
But if I can avoid him as long as I can, then I will. Thinking about those embarassing moments with him just made me cringing so hard. I accidentally squeeze the ketchup that I was holding, glad that it's not that hard.
I look around to see if someone saw what I just did and put the ketchup in the basket. I am now at a grocery store, doing a grocery shopping. Jake did gave me the money to buy the groceries, and let's say the amount of money is way more than enough. I guess he really never went grocery shopping before and just asked a runner to do it for him instead.
I walked passing by different isles expertly, already memorized the place like the back of my hand. I need to go to the cereals section to buy frosted flakes. Sometimes if I don't have time to cook breakfast or too lazy, I'll just eat the cereal. I've decided to buy four boxes this time because I realized that Jake would also eats the cereal before he went to work.
What a rat, eating my food without my permission.
I released a low groan when I saw that the cereal that I want is placed at the very top of the shelf. I look around to see if there's any stool for me to step on, or a staff to asked them to pick it up for me but frowned when there's none. I have no choice then.
I put down the basket besides my foot and lean my body against the shelf and grab it to support myself with one hand, tip toed, as my other arm stretch up as much as I can to reach the cereal. "Almost there..."
I paused when I felt a presence towering behind me, arm reaching out for the cereal that I've been trying to get. The familiar scent wafted through my nose as it made my heart skips a beat. A smell like a fresh laundry, a punch of detergant. With a hint of rose, sandalwood, and musk. The scent that I love the most in the world.
I slightly turn my head only to be met with a pair of eyes staring down at mine, and I froze when our faces are just inches apart before he melt a smile. "Is this what you were trying to get?" I completely turn my body towards him, he was holding the frosted flakes cereal.
I nod my head. "Can you grab another three, please?" I tried to calm down my heart.
He then took three boxes of frosted flakes and placed them inside my basket. "Thanks a lot, Hoon."
"No problem." The smile never fall from his face. He then look at my basket that is almost full. "Grocery shopping?"
"Yeah, you too?"
"Nope. Just need to buy a thing here and I've already got it." Sunghoon looks awkward since his eyes keep darting away from mine, is it because of what Jake said to him the other day? It hurts me a lot seeing that he's trying to set a boundary between us. "Where's your husband?"
