Tangled Fates: BTOB Sungjae ✔

Chapter 12

[A/N: Ok so here's why I wasn't udpating! It's partly because I haven't been writing a lot lately, but most of the time when I reread and edit before publishing a chapter, I always fall asleep. Lol. Seriously. I'm starting to think I'm bored of my own work hahahaha but I usually reread and edit at midnight so maybe that's why. :p
Thank you so much for your patience!!~]

Chapter 12, At The Party
S

ungjae:

I woke up with a smile, too big for my own liking and my heart beating so fast against my chest as if I had a nightmareㅡbut clearly, I wasn't.

I looked through the transparent window of my room and realized it had been cold and raining on a spring day, but my ears and my face felt hot at that moment. I stretched my legs and my arms before I decided to get up and go straight to the bathroom.

On my way though, I spotted Mari staring at the coffee maker. Her hair tied in a messy bun, her shirt and pyjamas bigger than her actual size.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a scratchy, deep morning voice.

She jumped a little and turned to me with a smile. "Good morning! Uh, well, I was... trying to figure out how this thing works. I saw you making coffee with it."

"By staring at it?" I asked, walking towards her.

She gave me an apologetic smile before giving me a way to the coffee maker. As I turned my back on her, I couldn't help but smile and then I cleared my throat. "Watch here," I said, gesturing for her to come closer. "You put the paper filter first." I opened one of the upper cabinets to get one and I could feel her watching my every move. "Coffee." I said once I've settled the paper filter. "And water, then press this." I said, pressing the only button of the machine then I turned to her only to catch her looking at me closely. She quickly darted her eyes to the coffee maker, her cheeks blushing, her eyes blinked three times. A small smile formed my lips. "Did you get it?" I asked.

She nodded without looking at me.

"Alright, I'm off."

"Where?" She asked, finally looking at me.

"Uh? To the bathroom." I replied and I was about to joke about her coming with me but her cheeks were still so red so I didn't bother.

"O-okay!"

Mari:

Sungjae left again for today, of course, without telling me where he went but I was surprised when he called me that afternoon to say that he's going to pick me up at six.

I couldn't help but smile after the phone call until Minhyuk showed up in front of me. He always seem to come with some air making his white hair go to different directions.

"Isn't there any way you could show up with a warning?" I asked.

"No." He replied.

"What are you doing here? Are there any news?"

He frowned just for a quick second before saying, "Seems like you're not so fond of my presence!"
