Chapter 12

I woke up the next morning, my head a little dizzy. My body wasn't used to staying awake late.

I pulled myself out of bed while continuously reminding myself that I had school and I that I can't afford to be late for a class. I was still very tired and I had a long day ahead of me.

I pushed my self towards the bathroom. Maybe a warm shower could soothe me down.

The moment the hot water came in contact with my skin I forgot about all my worries. The feeling was too soothing and I enjoyed it.

I had to drag myself outside the bath. The comfort of the hot water now gone, I covered myself in a towel. I dried myself and minutes later I changed into my clothes for school.
Soo-ji was a morning person.
She had already managed to get ready and she was now waiting for having breakfast.

I gave her an apologetic look. I hung my head low. I was the cause for her delay.

We always left the room together.

She never forgot to check on me after that one incident where I was left behind in the room. I was locked and scared. It had been just weeks since I had arrived here.
By the time I was found. I was unconscious.
I think this had terrified soo-ji, she never left me alone after that unless I asked her to.

"Shall we leave for breakfast?" She chirped like a bird.

Wasn't she angry with me?

"Yea" I managed to blurt out.

She gave me a smile and walked outside the room. I followed behind her. I made sure I locked the room and walked towards the main hall.

I walked past Jungkook's room. My face flushing red from the thought of what he had said yesterday.

Soo-ji noticed this and gave me a what's-wrong-with-you look.

Oh no! I'm not ready to answer detective soo-ji's questions. She had her own way of bringing people to spill the truth and through these years I never managed to escape her ways.

We walked in silence and I was quite relieved that she did not question me then and there.

We settled ourselves in our allotted places.
There was no sight of Jungkook. Maybe he overslept.

I sat in silence as the people in-charge of breakfast slowly started serving us.

Once our little prayer was over we were now ready to eat.
The breakfast was enjoyable. The little children never failed to amuse me by using their own ways of making this boring food seem interesting.

I was busy staring at them that I did not pay attention to Jungkook. He sat beside me with his plate in his hand. I don't think he would receive any punishment for being late, after all he was the owner's son.
He sat down and I looked towards him to only find him staring back at me. He winked the moment our eyes met and I turned my head immediately.

Uh I just gave soo-ji another clue.

"Where were you last night?" Soo-ji questioned as though she was listening to my thoughts.
