Be With You | Seokjin

vingt deux : what's wrong?

Hyerin's POV

We're still laying on the couch without saying anything. Our heartbeats and breaths are loud against my ears. I released my arms a little and looked at him.

He was looking at me, smiling. I smiled at him back and woke up from the couch.

  "Aren't you going to stay here for dinner?" He asked, waking up from the couch. I looked at my wristwatch and realized that it's still 6:30pm.

  "Are there ingredients in the fridge?" I asked him and he nodded.

  "Come on, let's go." He grabbed my wrist and we both walked to the kitchen.

There are seaweeds so I'm thinking of making kimbab. I took them out and placed on the table. I started washing vegetables and chop them.

Jin was about to help me but I told him to go back and sit at the living room. I do know that he can cook but I feel like making something for him to eat today.

  "Ya, just sit still." I commanded and he nodded. He was watching TV in the living room so I continued my work.

I continued chopping the vegetables, waiting for the rice to be cooked at the same time. I wonder if it will taste great.

The rice is cooked so I turned the cooker off. The seaweeds are also ready, so the only things left are these vegetables.

I was chopping the carrots when suddenly I felt arms surrounded my waist. Jin almost startled me but I could maintain my composure.

He snuggled between my neck and shoulder. I felt his lips against my skin and I'm shivering again.

  "Heol, kimbab eh?" He asked and I nodded.

  "I told you to sit still, didn't I?" I put the knife down and asked him. He spun me around so I could face him.

  "But I'm hungry." He pouted and I blushed. This is so me, lol.

Just as he finished talking, his stomach growled so loud that we both started laughing.

  "Mian, it's almost ready. Now go and sit at the living room first." I told him and he nodded, smiling.

I thought my heart stopped for a moment out there. I shook my head and continued the work.

As soon as it's finished, I told him to come to the dining room. He was clapping like a retarded seal and started to dig in.

He ate the first roll and made that sound that I couldn't describe what it means. The sound he always makes when the food is yummy.

  "This is delicious!" He looked at me with his big eyes and started eating again. He looked like a chipmunk somehow.

  "Aren't you going to eat? You should taste my girlfriend's homemade food." He said and I stifled a giggle.

  "Arrasso, I'm going to taste your amazing girlfriend's homemade food." I said then took a bite. It was not bad, I guess. I couldn't judge my own food but since the Master Chef, Kim Seok Jin, said that it's okay so it's okay.

After we're done eating, he helped me cleaning the dishes. Not exactly cleaning though, I would say playing. He kept putting the the soaps on my face and I did the same.

I wish we could just stay like this forever. Spending our lazy days together, doing stupid stuffs together and so on. He made me happy after those tiresome tasks.

When we finished, we both went to the living room and played UNO. He kept winning and I got irritated so I stopped.

We played X-box then I won him back so he got annoyed, we stopped.

We played truth or dare but he dared me like "kiss me on the cheek" or "kiss me on the lips" so often that I told him to stop playing. Now, we're running out of game to play.

We both sat back down on the couch and sighed simultaneously. Because of that, we looked at each other then bursted out laughing. He then used a pen to write something on his palms but he told me not to look.

He balled his hands to fists and asked me which hand do I want him to open first. I pointed at his right hand, so he opened it. It said, "do you miss me?" He was smiling and I nodded.

Then he opened his left hand that said, "I miss you more ❣" I grabbed both of his hands and smiled. For a few minutes, my phone rang.

It was from mom. I picked it up.

  "Hyerin ah,"

  "Neh, eomma?"

  "I think I'll be late today. You can eat first if you want. There are more patients just now. There's a fire in the 3rd floor of a hotel."

  "Oh okay, mom. Good luck, I love you." She hung up and I put it back to my bag.

  "What is it?" Jin asked me and I told him that my mom told me to eat first.
He didn't say anything and washed his hands.

He turned the TV on to the daily news channel. The reporter said that there's a small fire on the 3rd floor of a hotel. So, what my mom said is true.

  "My mom just told-" I looked at Jin and he was watching the news without blinking. Tears started to well up in his eyes and his lips are stuttering.

His phone is ringing but he doesn't seem to notice it. I took it from the table and realized that it was from Jimin.

"Jin, your phone is ringing." I told him and he averted my eyes to look at his phone slowly. He was shivering from head to toes. I touched his left hand that is resting on the couch as he used his right hand to get the phone from me.

"Y-yeobuseyo?" He stuttered. I don't know what Jimin has told him but as he listened, tears fell down from his eyes endlessly and he stood up from the couch immediately.

I grabbed his hand which stopped him from walking. He looked at me, tears rolling down on his cheeks.

"Jin, what's wrong?" I asked but he couldn't utter a word. I released his hand and followed him to where he's going.

I think this is the first time that I've seen him crying. I felt pain in my heart when I saw him like this. I couldn't utter any more word.

What in the world happened?
