You Smell Like Hope

5. The truth untold

이 정원에 숨어든 널 봤어
And I know 너의 온긴

Hydrangea.
The changing color flowers that are known for their beauty even when their color remains uncertain.

Minho's pov.

If Soonie was a human being I would have thrown her in the streets.

She of course woke me an hour before my alarm as always, some days I wonder why I even bother setting an alarm when she's here.

I gave her the belly rubs she wanted and got up to get ready, I headed directly to the shower hating the fact I got too lazy to turn on the AC and now I'm full of sweat, I turned on the water to fix it's temperature before undressing myself and let myself enjoy the feeling of the perfect water on my skin.

I didn't let it run for as long as I wanted as I heard my phone ringing and if I know anything it's that Chan is the one ringing, I dried myself and wrapped the towel around my body before walking back to my room from the connected bathroom.

Soonie was still on my bed, but she went running once she saw me socked in water, I picked up the phone expecting a missed call from Chan but instead it was Hyunjin.

I called back not expecting anything anymore, this call can be as weird as it could.

"MINHO HYUNG" He screamed immediately after picking up. "Why are you screaming!"

"Me and Felix decided something really important." He said trying to sound serious, "and what is that?" I faked excitement and he knows I did.

"We're joining a dance class, so then we'll be the one preforming in your second event instead of finding weird people last minute." He sounded too excited as if he wasn't the one who picked the dancers, "do whatever you want Hyun, but don't you dare drag Felix into this."

"He said he wants-" I ended the call leaving him no space to talk more, knowing him he was going to show up at work and tell me about it all over again there, so I would rather hear it one time.

"Minho" mum knocked on my door, "breakfast is ready come on." I was about to open the door and follow her then I remembered I'm not dressed yet, "I'll be there in a minute." I called.

I picked the outfit I prepared last night, there's no important meetings today so the outfit is comfortable and not a suit.

I left the room with Soonie following close behind since she knows it's time to feed her, I quickly went to her corner in the kitchen and filled her bowl with her favorite food.

"Good morning sir," one of the maids said, "good morning to you too, you just arrived?" I asked but not in a way that might scare her, we don't really care if they're late since there's always someone who can cover for them, "yes, I'm sorry sir I had to get something done before I come here."

"Come on Sandra I told you multiple times to stop calling me sir, I listened to you and stopped calling you Mrs didn't I?" She's one of the closet maids to me, she started working her after her son died and she had to take care of her grandchild, her son was a really kind man I still remember him driving me to school when I was younger. "And tell me what happened I'm bored."

"Oh, you're always ready to hear some tea, aren't you?" She laughed quietly, "come on stop teasing me and tell me," I laughed along, if I'm being honest, I'm really not that curious but I know she has no one to talk to about simple things.

"It's nothing big, I was just giving my son's bike to nice boy who helped me the other day, I had to wait for him in front of his building to do so," she explained while preparing the tea for us, "that really kind of you, I'm sure he appreciates it."
