Clean [kim mingyu]

04

she didn't really know what time it was, but so far, few nurses came to pass tests and she had a tasteless breakfeast. around half an hour later, the door to her room opened.

suri could feel someone watching her so she lifted her heavy lids, only to see a tall boy at the feet of her bed, a familiar plastic bag in his big hand. "i see you're awake. are you hungry?" mingyu smiled, not hoping an answer, but got surprised when she nodded. she barely moved her head, but it didn't exactly stay still.

"here. i bought few sandwiches, breads, cookies... oh, and strawberry milk." he handed her the bag. she noticed he was wearing a glove and eyed him. was he disgusted by her? why was he wearing a glove? she pushed the thoughts away and she silently — literally — thanked him. as she took the bag, forcing herself to not make a face when she felt her fingers brush his.

she was too late to hide her emotion. "does it bother you when i wear a glove? it does, right? i'm sorry. i just thought that maybe there'd be less bacterias on the bag." suri suddenly felt her heart race. the feeling of someone caring for her was so new and odd to her. but it was also warm and very nice.

she ate the egg sandwiches first, sipping a carton of strawberry milk. she saw the star and heart shaped cookies at the bottom and took one.

she felt nostalgic. the last memories of her mother flashed through her mind: her smile and her laugh. her way to see everything positively and her passion to make the world better. the girl couldn't help but smile at the thoughts

the room was silent and only the crunching sounds from suri were heard. she would stop once in a while to look at the boy who was silently playing a game on his phone. he never seemed to mind the noises and she would continue on eating.

little did she know, mingyu was looking at her from the corner of his eyes. he tried to hide his smile despite his itching cheeks. it was the first time he actually cared for someone that wasn't his parents nor his annoying sister. it was a pleasant feeling.

"i'll leave you now. i have to go back to school. i'll probably pass by later." he waved his gloved hand and stopped on his track when he heard her almost inaudible voice call his name. "i- can... nevermind." he nodded and opened the door, throwing one last glance over his shoulder.

"bye..." they both muttered, not caring if the other could hear it or not.

swollensoul: a lot of eating suri, i'm sorry. but i think she's cute... even tho she's a fictional character i created. also, what do you think about the little pictures i added? should i continue doing that? leave a comment what you think about this chapter and this type of writing :)
