As Mix settled into his bed, Earth made up his mind to stay over and take care of him. But before he could fully commit to his decision, he needed to grab his own essentials.
Noticing that Mix had thrown his house keys on the living room cabinet, Earth picked them up. With a sense of purpose, he left Mix's house for a short while, heading to his own condo to gather a few necessities, including clothes and work documents.
Half an hour later, Earth returned to Mix's condo, his arms laden with his belongings. Softly, he unlocked the door using the keys he had taken earlier from Mix's cabinet, careful not to disturb his assistant.
Once inside, Earth placed the keys back in the same spot where he had found them, ensuring that Mix wouldn't notice they had been moved. With quiet footsteps, he made his way to Mix's bedroom door and gently pushed it open.
Inside, he found Mix sleeping peacefully, his breathing steady and even. A sense of relief washed over Earth as he watched over his assistant, knowing that he would do whatever it took to ensure Mix's well-being.
With a soft smile, Earth settled into a chair beside Mix's bed, ready to keep a watchful eye over him throughout the night. As he sat in the dimly lit room, the weight of responsibility settling on his shoulders, Earth couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to care for his assistant in his time of need.
Mix woke up the next morning, his eyes slowly adjusted to the soft light filtering into the room.
Blinking away the remnants of sleep, he turned his head and found Earth sleeping soundly on a chair beside his bed.
A rush of conflicting emotions washed over Mix as he gazed at his boss's peaceful face. While he had missed Earth dearly over the past few days and longed to see him, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive about facing him in his current state of weakness.
From the moment Earth had appeared at his doorstep, Mix's heart had been in turmoil. The sudden surge of emotions had left him feeling confused and uncertain, unsure of how to navigate the complex feelings swirling within him.
Mix continued to watch Earth sleep, a myriad of questions raced through his mind. Why had Earth come to his house so suddenly? And why had he stayed the night to take care of him? The uncertainty gnawed at Mix's insides, leaving him feeling both grateful and uneasy at the same time.
Suddenly, Earth stirred in his sleep, prompting Mix to quickly feign sleep himself. Closing his eyes, he tried to steady his breathing and still the tumultuous thoughts racing through his mind.
In the quiet of the room, Mix wrestled with his emotions, torn between the desire to reach out to Earth and the fear of confronting the unresolved feelings simmering beneath the surface.
