Say Yes

Chapter 3

The blaring of his alarm clock woke Donghyuck up from his sleepless slumber,bags very prominent beneath his eyes. He'd very much rather stay in and hopefully catch up on sleep, but alas, he's a very hardworking student(unlike me XD). Groaning, he reluctantly got up to start preparing for his day ahead. After fixing his bed, he went out of his bedroom and headed towards his kitchen. Donghyuck's apartment is fairly decent(in his eyes okay), not super duper fancy or extravagant despite what others might think. It's a decent sized apartment in one of the nice buildings in Gangnam(apartment 815). It comes with a spacious living room with a nice view overlooking Gangnam's busy neighborhood, a big bedroom with an en suite and a walk-in closet, a small study room and of course his happy place, the kitchen with its marble counter tops and his precious coffee machine. There's also a washroom for guests located near the entrance. Truthfully, he had no plans of getting this apartment, he had wanted something a bit more simple and smaller, but his parents had insisted on this one. Also because it was a condition set up by his mom when he had told them he wanted to move out and experience living by himself.

With his morning coffee in his hand, a stronger mix than usual to help wake him up and hopefully keep him awake for his lectures, he went over his fridge to see what he can make for breakfast. After checking the stuff that he had, he started pulling the necessary ingredients needed for omelette, while reminding himself to go grocery shopping after classes are over. Grabbing a knife and a cutting board, he started chopping the bell pepper and green onion, before whisking the eggs and mixing them together. While waiting for the pan to heat up, he quickly checked his magnetic board placed on the fridge's door, to see his schedule for the day.

'Ah. I have Mr. Son today. Better get coffee before class start.'

His omelette was just about finished cooking when his phone started ringing. Pulling it out of his pocket, he swiped the answer button without checking the caller ID and brought the phone on his ear, while making sure his food doesn't burn. Before Donghyuck even had the chance to greet his caller, a loud voice could be heard coming from the speaker.

"GOOD MORNING MY BABY PUDU!!!! Did you sleep well? You didn't get nightmares did you??!! Oh no my poor baby"

Quickly turning off the stove after the omelette was cooked, he pulled the phone away from his ear and checked the caller. 
"NANA<3" was showing on the screen, making him shake his head in amusement.

'Trust Jaemin to be extra and loud in the mornings after his cup of coffee'

Slotting his phone in between his neck and left shoulder, he grabbed a plate and transferred his omelette, before answering his best friend.

"Morning, Nana. I slept okay and no, I didn't get any nightmares so please don't worry."

"Just okay? Awe my poor baby why?"

Grabbing a fork, he took his plate and coffee and sat on one of the stools.

"I just had trouble falling asleep.. and worrying about stuff. That's all."

"Stuff?"

"Hmm. I'll tell you more later, okay? Anyways, what classes do you have today?"

He could tell Jaemin had wanted to ask more questions but had let it go, which he was grateful for. He'd rather not think about it this early in the morning, it'll stress him out. He put his phone on loudspeaker so that he could eat and listen to Nana talk, humming occasionally to let him know that he is listening to him. He finished his food and coffee in no time and started washing the dishes, still listening to his bestfriend"s chatter. Checking the time, he went back to his room to get his outfit ready and also to take a shower.
