Moon Star (Moonbyul x Xiumin)

Chapter 19

The list Luhan once gave me is nowhere to be found.

The list where he had wrote everything Xiu Min ate as a daily routine.

That is probably because I didn't really plan to follow it. Yikes.

I bit my lower lip as my eyes darted from the row of ice cream boxes in front of me, before glancing at the fruit and veggie section.

From what I remember, Xiu Min must have a healthy diet.

Not that I even paid attention to that. He ate everything I gave him anyway.

But currently, his condition is quite... complicated. Patients like him can't just gobble all kinds of food up, especially when I am aiming him for a speedy recovery.

Even so, I feel bad.

This time, I froze my gaze on the ice cream box labelled as mint chocolate chip flavour.

Should I buy him ice cream?

"Ommo, why should I?" Frustrated, I lightly tapped on my right cheek. He should be eating veggies, fruits, and a whole bunch of healthy food. Why in the world should I buy him ice cream? It's not even good for his idol diet!

But the more I looked at it, the bigger the urge grew in me. The urge to buy it and surprise Xiu Min when I come back from shopping.

I can picture his eyes widening, and a big smile on his face if he sees it.

Somehow, I wanted to see it.

The excited look on his face.

After shaking my head for the hundredth time, I gave up and reached out for the box.

I hope he likes it.

After shopping for food that can last him and me a few days, I got into my car and drove to Solar's house.

The house was empty, just as I expected.

It was half past 8 when I took a shower and changed into a new pair of clothes. Yes, I went shopping before washing up because the grocery store was on the way to Solar's house.

Good thing no one noticed my breath, I guess.

I packed a few more pair of clothes, all the pants and jackets and hoodies and shirts I often wore. There are even a few clothes that Solar bought me every now and then, for she has a thing for fashion and she likes giving me free stuff. Well, she is filthy rich, not to mention.

When I was sure all the basic things I needed were set, I checked my reflection for one last time.

My hair caught my attention straight away, because it seemed longer than my usual hair cut. It was visible a few days ago, but now it certainly stood out than normal.

Should I cut it? But when?

Or should I just let it grow in the meantime?

What if it grows too... long?

I shook my head, stopping myself from thinking negatively about having long hair.

I looked around the room, searching for a cap that Solar might have kept. I dashed over behind the door when I spotted it hanging from one of its hook. The was the word 'STAR' embroidered in white on the full black cap, which I didn't think much of.

I gave my things one quick and final check; toothbrush and bathing necessities and clothes- all ready to go.

I pouted as I locked Solar's house, thinking deeply about the things I packed and how long it would last. I've decided to bath and change at the hospital, since Xiu Min had a private washroom that I can use. The clothes would last for a week, the most. But I can always run off to the dryers for a quick wash.
