TW: PHYSICAL ABUSE AND BLOOD
Aera's pov
Another morning , but this time it wasnt just any random morning with birds chirping , the wind swaying , and sun shining. It was one of the tedious morning i have ever had- not exaggerating but still- in centuries i suppose .
Since last night i couldn't stop the train of thoughts in my head , could be it be him? What he actually is the one who murdered my parents , but come to think of it isnt it cliché for a murderer who killed my parents years ago to come back out of the blue and that too just wrecking up houses...
Of course im overthinking again....
come back to your senses choi aera.....
I shake my head sideways trying to not think too much about it.
"BOO!" i flinch at the jump scare almost falling off the chair. Jake laughs his ass off , while i just give him an " are you done " look , jeez sometimes i cant with this guy but i end up playing rolling my eyes biting away a smile.
He puts the cup of coffee in front of me before he speaks.
"Hello , miss scaredy-cat , come back to earth already or your coffee will get cold"
I give him a "criminal offensive side eye" before saying "scaredy-cat? Says the one who got scared by a mere mouse and hid behind jay"
"Yah! You wanna die early in the morning , i saved you yesterday you should be thankful" he gives me a smug yet proud look and i hit him right on his shoulder earning a groan from him "careful idot! The wounds still fresh"
"Better behave than act like a hero , sim jake" i grin at who just gives me an offended " are you serious " look and continues drinking his coffee.
"Anyways you were thinking about last night weren't you?" He glances at me with concern filled eyes , as i nod tiredly taking a sip from my cup.
"Thanks to a you , who diverted my mind for a while" i smile at him while he just folds his arms over his chest , proud for his act.
"But.... Lets just not talk about this and spoil our morning" i say getting from the chair moving towards the kitchen to grab an apple.
"Right lets not do that , I'll report this evidence to the police for now and lets keep it cool and get over with it , i dont want a commotion , neither does anyone else . Besides we now know his next target is us so catching him red handed wont be hard" he casually speaks as i nod in response.
"But dont tell mom anything about it , she's worried sick already because someone threw the brick last night and you got hurt , so telling that the killer is after us wont help" i say looking at him with pleading eyes and he gives me a reassuring smile which i return back.
We gaze at each other for a while .
None of us breaking the eye contact.
Funny how even in this situation he makes my heart thump loudly.
He makes me feel warm.
He's my home....
My forever home.
