Warmth Lies Within | MiChaeng

Exposed

I woke up early despite the fact that I didn't get enough sleep. I looked over to see Mina and I saw her in the same position before I sleep last night. I guess her body was that much exhausted.

After that, I made sure to take the blanket and the pillow and head towards my room. Then I took out some cloth for me and placed it outside to take a shower. But before that, I went downstairs and headed toward my car. As soon as I reached it, I start searching around for anything strange that I might spot. I looked under the car to see if anything leaking or any sign of someone playing with the car wires. I didn't see anything suspicious.

Then I looked toward the main road to see if there are any cars standing around but there was none. I signed in relief.

Since there is nothing to worry about, I headed toward my room and went directly to the bathroom. While I was taking my shower, I remembered that I didn't take my cloth with me to the bathroom. It's not a habit for me to wear cloth outside the bathroom after taking a shower.

Right after I finished my shower, I wrapped myself quickly and went to grab the cloth on my bed. Then I remembered that Mina is still sleeping so I should be good, I don't want to slip and hurt myself in the process.

Just when I thought I am completely safe when I was near my cloth to grab it, someone opened the door and I immediately knew it was Mina. My body froze in the spot.

Mina was standing rubbing her eyes, "Chaengie ~~, sorry I was knocking at the door and you didn't answer that's why I entered. I see you are up." I was still standing facing Mina as I could tell that she didn't get yet that I am only wrapped in a towel right now. She removed her hands from her eyes and looked straight at me. "Why you're not saying anything Chaengie?" She went closer and I was panicking and then she stopped in midway. Her eyes widened looking at me. I think now she realized the situation. Then she lifts her hands to cover her eye and start walking backward while saying, "oh god III-I am sooo s-sooorry I I..." She didn't get to continue her words because she tripped and fall on the ground. Just as I saw her falling my body moved instantly toward her because I am worried if she got hurt.

When I was beside her leaning and checking if she's good, her eyes widened and then she averted looking at me and got up immediately while saying, "I am good thanks and sorry again." She throws those words fast at me leaving the room.

Oh god, that was the most awkward situation I have ever been. I mean, I don't even let my mom see my body, not even a glance and now this happened. It's as if I needed more reason to make us uncomfortable between each other. And I am the one who thought that this is going well so far. At least she didn't see me naked. Thank god, imagine if I forgot my towel along with my cloth. I don't want to even know what would have happened.

Anyway, I took my cloth and went to the bathroom to change.

-----------------------------------------------------

Probably Mina shift is going to be just like yesterday. I grabbed my phone and texted Mr. Jinyoung if he could meet me at the bookstore cafe today. And he said he will do so for sure. I have to discuss what happened yesterday.

After that, I left my room. As soon as I was out the door, I faced Mina room and stared there for couples of minutes. I don't know what to do. Then I decided to go to the kitchen and cook us something.

I went downstairs and start smelling food scent coming from the kitchen direction. I followed with a daze because I am hungry at the moment.

Mina was in the kitchen holding the pan and trying to roll the egg. She's making an omelet I guess. I approached her calmly but then I stopped and thought, 'what if I scared her, I should make some sound to inform her about my existence. ' Just as I was thinking she turned around and boom. She saw me and just as I predicted, she jumped leaving the pan while the spatula still in her hands. She was about to fall backwards but I was near enough to catch her.
