Mesmerizing

8: Warm

Again the repetition of the knocks on the door wakened me up but I closed my eyes refusing to move an inch from bed, however, the familiar figure entered the room with his bright voice to wake me up. I kept holding more on the blanket to continue my sleep but that wouldn't just work easily he kept on repeating my name endlessly it felt like he won't shut up ever.

"Rena, Rena, Rena" he repeated knowing that I already woke up but I wasn't responding.

"Hoseokii I want to sleep please" I replied finally after a very long time.

"You don't want to go for a walk today?"

"Emm" I nodded my head slightly

"You should have told me yesterday then, it's fine you can sleep, I will leave your breakfast for you when you wake up" he smiled warmly patting my head and closed the door behind him, to be honest I slept, drowned in my sleep for a good time until my cell phone rang interrupting my sleep. It was Mum; I wonder what's the reason for the regular calls lately. It's all my fault, I am the one whose tongue spilt the words.

"    "Hey Mum"

     "How are you today honey, why haven't you called us yesterday?"

     "I was a bit busy mum"

     "Busy really? What have you been doing lately?"

     "Nothing important"

     "How is your dear friend Hoseok? Did you tell him I said hi"

     "He is fine, my battery is draining I have got to go bye" " 

she wasn't calling to ask about me I told her I was busy but at the same time replying with nothing important and yet she never asked what was that, because that wasn't where her focus was delivered.

I finally woke up and went to the bathroom then back to my room to just put my things back together since I already made up my mind that I would go back home today. Though I wasn't leaving before I make them something as I thought earlier, I really liked staying here but I need to go home.

The wide opened door had 2 knocks on it followed by "Can I come in?" asked the deepest voice I have ever heard.

"Emm"

"Where are you going?" he asked pointing at my bag

"I have to go home."

"Can't you stay for a while?" asked Tae with a low voice this time

"No I really have to go home" I replied going to the kitchen followed by his steps

"But you are still sick, Stay"

"I am not Tae really" I slightly smiled then I started searching for cooking utensils, wandering around the kitchen, opening drawers, closing them again, opening the fridge, searching for my ingredients. He was standing behind watching my movements his eyes were locked on my steps like he was counting them for the first time it felt different, it made me tense, not in a bad way but a weird one. He jumped and sat on the table playing with his legs back and forth.

"Hoseok already made you breakfast" he said

"I am preparing dinner"

"Why Rena? Besides can you really cook?" he asked tilting his head as he jumped back off the table approaching me

"Because of many reasons, I have been grateful for what you all did to me the past days and I want to say thank you in a nice way. And yes I took cooking courses with Jin once" I replied and he got out of my way leaving me with my words before I complete them heading to one of the kitchen's drawers
