You felt your body being swayed slowly. Left.. right.. your body rocked to the same rhythm. You couldn't feel your legs though. You couldn't pinpoint where you were. Or what you were doing before. But one thing that you were sure about was that you felt warm. You could feel something warm beneath your body. It radiated enough warmth to your heart so you didn't feel alarmed. You felt safe even though you didn't know where you were. Was it winter? Did you fall asleep in front of the fireplace? But you could only feel the warmth on your right cheek and not on your left.
You could feel the slow breeze of air touching your left cheek. Such a contrast.. cooling breeze on your left and gentle warmth on your right. You snuggled even closer to the source of warmth and you felt something hard yet soft at the same time beneath you. Did you fall asleep on the couch again? Jaebeom had complained several times, saying that your couch was not comfy enough. But you argued that if you sat on the same spot, it would get comfier each time. To which Jaebeom said that it was faulty in the design. The couch should be comfy right from the start, he said. Not after being used regularly.
Jaebeom. Thinking about him reminded you that he was there at the cafe earlier. He was alone and it was understandable. His other members were busy. Last time you heard, Jackson was busy in China, while Jinyoung got offers after offers and his acting was getting better. You didn't dare to tell Jaebeom that you were actually looking forward to his dramas and you quite liked Jinyoung as a prosecutor. He looked.. manly and justly in that drama. Mark was back in the US and he was preparing for his solo tour. Yugyeom was on his solo tour while Bambam had just released another album.
Jaebeom mentioned in passing that he was preparing an album himself but you didn't pry more than he was willing to tell you. You always thought that if he wanted to share, he would. So you didn't want to question him, it was his privacy. You wanted to respect that. Throughout his stay at the cafe, you've stolen a few glances at him and he was frowning when he was thinking and then wrote something in his notebook. Notebook.. that was another peculiar thing about him. Even though he could use the notes apps in his phone, he still opted to write down his thoughts manually. By hand.
Judging by the way he was scribbling, you guessed he was in the middle of writing lyrics so you tried not to disturb him. You knew that kind of thing needed a lot of concentration so you tried to be quiet when you were working. Lucky for him, all of your customers were oblivious of his presence so he was left to his own device. Well, maybe not so lucky, you guessed. He had been working hard to gain a name for his own, so considering that people still didn't recognize him even in his own country, it was kind of sad. But again, you were glad that he could still have his own privacy. What a complicated situation.. Anyway, you were back to your memory. If Jaebeom was at your cafe earlier, then you couldn't fall asleep at home. Surely you would remember walking back to your house?
Then where were you right now? And how could you end up there? You wanted to pry open your eyes but it was hard to do so. You were extremely exhausted. Yesterday you had to wake up early to bake some baked goods to be frozen for the cafe. You had to make them earlier than usual because Jihoon had a field trip that day. You had to take him to the school and then watch from afar. Around lunch, the parents were allowed to join the students so that was why you had to bake it early before you had to leave for school. Then after the field trip, you left Jihoon with the grandma next door before you left to attend the cafe. And then you couldn't remember the last thing that you did before you fell asleep.
You inhaled deeply and you felt the swaying stop for a bit but it resumed a few seconds later. And you could feel the breeze blowing on your cheek softly again, as if caressing your cheek. And lulling you deeper into sleep. Uughh.. Why was this so comfortable? More comfortable than your own bed. And much warmer, clearly. But what was it that you hugged right now? You surely didn't have any pillow that was this hard but also soft at the same time, with the size this big that made it so huggable. Surely you would remember if you had a pillow so huggable and comfortable, but why couldn't you remember it? Was it one of the throw pillows in the cafe? But none of the pillows were this big..
