The soothing raindrops drive me into deep slumber.

*gunshot*

I jolted up from my sleep. I looked around, I was in an unknown room. The room wasn't mine and the surrounding, it was nothing like the palace. after contemplating for a while I recognized the room, it was Jin's house but the noise. Fear rushed through my spine when I realized that it was a gunshot, the same gunshot which I heard when Jungkook was shot, the same gunshot which was the cause of this mess.
I ran to the window and my eyes fell on the mass of people in Sapphire blue, each one of them holding a gun. But My attention flew to a Man sitting on a Jeep, a sapphire blue one, his eyes locked on mine while an eye mask of bright pearls and diamonds covered his face.
I felt my inners twisted. My father was on his knees while a gun was pointed at him and the gun was pointed by the masked man. The anonymous man smirked at me.

*gunshot*

*gasp*

"Father" I jolted on my bed, again. The words were inaudible. All that was a nightmare? It was terrifying.
I looked outside and made my way to the window. The dream is still crystal clear in my memory. That man, my father and those people. My feelings turned to remorse, I am here safe and my father in an anonymous state and these thoughts make it so difficult for me to move on.

I shifted my gaze to the room's door. The door was ajar and a small ray of light was passing in the dark room. The night had already fallen. I made my way into the hall which was allied to the kitchen. As I climbed down the stairs, a unique scent of steamed noodles along with a biter and spicy scent of sauce erupted in the hall. As I moved further, I saw Jin's back facing me. He moved himself with calm and peace as an excellent chef. A black apron was tied to his waist while his patterned  T-shirt hung from his shoulders.

Suddenly he turned with a steaming bowl in his hand. My eyes were making an effort to identify the material in the blow but it seemed impossible. And that's when I noticed he had stopped moving. I lifted my gaze from his hands to his eyes which were fixed on me.

"You're awake" he uttered as he kept the bowl on the table.

"Ah, I believe I dozed off for hours" I moved awkwardly with a chuckle.

"Yes, but it's alright people do get exhausted by this way of travelling" He spoke while keeping utensils on the table. Suddenly he looked at me.

"You don't wanna join?" he asked

"Huh?"

"I mean aren't you hungry, I prepared a meal for you"

"He prepared a meal for me?" again the words left without my consent but this time in the form of a whisper.

"Y/N?" he raised his eyebrows.

"Huh? Yes, I would love to eat you..... I - I - I mean e-eat the meal you made for me" I felt my cheeks getting hot. What's wrong with me? Did I just misspell the sentence because he raised his eyebrows?

" *chuckle* All alright then, have a seat," he said as he walked to turn on the remaining lights in the hall.

I made my way to the table where two bowls of noodles and some side dishes were placed. The flavour of tanginess and spice roamed in the air.

"So what are we having today?" I enquired holding myself back from tasting the dish in front of me.

"that's Jajangmyeon or black bean sauce noodles. Oh, and I really hope you have a good spice tolerance" he uttered as he sat down adjacent to me.

"Ha, yes I do. And this?" I asked as I pointed towards another dish placed on the table.

"That's Bibimbap, a very popular dish here and it's also very good for you" he let out while picking up his chopsticks.

"Oh, you must have a hard time preparing all these"

"No, the Bibimbap was given to me by my friend" he spoke as he slurped down the noodles.

I left a nod in return and gazed down at the dishes placed in front of me. Ok how am I supposed to eat this I have never used chopsticks.

"Why aren't you eating? Oh if it's because you think I mixed something in your food that would make you unconscious and then sell you to local gangsters, no I am not that cruel" he smiled.

Wait did he just smile?
Did he smile at me?
No feasible conceivable way.
Should I smile back?

"Um Y/N I didn't mix anything" his smile slowly disappeared.

"Oh....... No no no not that I have no practice of eating with a chopstick"

" Oh, that.. Oh, how can I be so stupid? Hang on a sec" he got up and rushed to the side drawers placed in the kitchen.

"Here" he spoke handing me a spoon and fork. I took it with a smile.

The dinner went on with small talk and I came to the conclusion that not all men cooking is alarming. He has a really nice hand in cooking and it's very attractive. By the end of the dinner, we parted ways to our bedrooms.

Ik this isn't much but as my exams overrun I got a very short time to put down my ideas into this chapter. I hope y'all understand🫶🏼
