Caffeine (Kyumin)

Chapter 9

After a week of not seeing Sungmin, my sleeping habits started again. I couldn't sleep and this time I had no one to yell at me 'go to sleep'. What should I do? I wanted to go see Sungmin but he wants to act like strangers.

3:47 am

Why is it always 3:47 when I can't sleep?

I quit. I got up and walked to my kitchen looking for some food.

There was a knock at the door.

Who would come at this hour? I walked to the door and opened it.

"What do you want?" I asked while opening it.

"Here take your normal coffee." I looked up and saw Sungmin. He handed me the mug of coffee, I took it.

"Well, I never expected you to come here." he looked at me and walked in my house.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

He took a seat on my couch.

"Can't sleep."

"Don't you work 24 hours?"

He looked at me.

"I have new employees so it's fine."

I closed the door and sat next to him. I took a sip of the coffee.

"How can you drink coffee at a time like this?!"

"Why are you suddenly getting mad?"

"What do you think of me?" he asked and looked at the floor.

I stayed silent for a moment. What did he mean by this question? Was it a trap?

"Well...I think you are a small man who likes to yell at people and is really cold hearted and has no soul. You also try and act nice and cute but when someone tries to get in your life the real, vicious, evil Sungmin comes out. But you're probably trying to hide something important that you don't want anyone knowing about, so you don't want friends. Therefore you try and scare them away."

He was silent this time.

"How did you know that?" he asked quietly.

"I can tell what a person is like just by their looks and how they act. You act like you use to kill people so I assumed that. But you know what they say, 'don't assume or it'll make an ass out of you and me'. You probably killed people before so you went with a cute, innocent look to cover it up. That's why your cafe is pink, you're trying to hard and didn't realize that no man has a pink cafe."

The next thing I know, I'm being choked.

"You better not say anything about this or I'll seriously rip your throat out and feed it to my pet snake!" he said as his grip on my throat got tighter. I tried to nod. He released me and I started to take in all the air I could get.

"What the hell is your problem?!" I asked while gasping for air.

"This is why I didn't want you near me! I knew you could see through me! I shouldn't have come here."

"You use to kill people?..." I asked quietly.

"If you don't shut up then I'll throw you off your balcony."

I kept my mouth closed. We sat there on the couch in silence.

"You know, I can't stop thinking of you." he finally said after 10 minutes of silence. I looked at him.

"You can talk."

"You think of me?" I asked trying to watch what I say.

"Yes, they other night I had a wet dream with you in it." he started smiling and stared at the ground.
