MIMI

Chapter 104 - Caught

"Mn,"

Mimi's eyes opened groggily, revealing her bright violet pupils that blinked slowly at the familiar ceiling - this was the ceiling of her bedroom.

Her body, previously surrounded in chills began to feel warmer again. However, at some point, she felt stiff. Almost restrained.

Looking down, Mimi saw her entire body was wrapped tightly into large blankets.

She looked like a burrito!

Frowning, Mimi struggles to unbind herself from her 'cocoon' of blankets but found it quite difficult. After a while, Mimi surrendered and plopped her head down onto the plump pillows.

How did she get here anyway?

Wrapping her mind around the recent events that took place, Mimi's thoughts recalled the call with Tobias and suddenly seeing his handsome face up close, looking at her with worry.

Ah...so that's how. Then wouldn't that mean...

Right on cue with her thoughts, the bedroom door opened.

Walking into her room with a steaming bowl of soup was none other than Tobias Itou. As he entered her room, Tobias immediately noticed that the young girl had awoken from her deep slumber.

Her head, which was all that was uncovered, propped up while the remaining of her body was wrapped in a cocoon – this had been the sight Tobias saw when he entered.

"You're up." Tobias walked over to her with the bowl of soup and rested it on her side table. "Does it still hurt? Do you feel any discomfort or pain anywhere?"

Mimi looked at the handsome man before her with blinking eyes. Out of his business jacket, the man's white fit high collar shirt was slightly unbuttoned to reveal a part of his toned, smooth chest. His rolled up sleeves displayed his firm, muscled arms.

The man was a delicious treat in Mimi's eyes. It was a shame, due to these 'restraints' she couldn't touch him.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Mimi lightly coughs. "Not as much as before, but there's still a bit of discomfort in my back and stomach. Oh, and my legs feel a little numb."

And despite lying in her own blood, she felt peachy!

Tobias's brows furrowed as he listened to Mimi list the areas of discomfort. He never took care of anyone, or a woman for that matter whenever they were ill...or on their period.

"Should I take you to the hospital?" Tobias asked gently, his figure sitting down on the small bed.

Mimi held back the urge to laugh after seeing the man's serious expression.

"Hehe, it's okay. I already took the limited number of pills for today, so I guess I'll just to bear with it. But this pain is normal for women on their period. Which is what makes us so amazing don't you think?" Mimi grinned mischievously.

"En," Tobias nodded his head seriously.

Mimi chuckled and wanted to lightly slap the man on his smooth, muscular arm but found her hands restrained to her sides from the covers. Pursing her lips, Mimi looks at Tobias.

"Erm...do you think you can unravel me from these blankets? It's a bit stiffening."

Looking at the girl wrapped like a round piece of mochi, Tobias chuckled and nodded his head. Standing up, the man leaned forward to help unravel the blankets.

Because she bore a high fever and was constantly cold, Tobias grabbed every blanket he could find in the girl's small apartment and wrapped her in it.
