Centimeters apart Oneus

01:

It had been a few hours since I've let them inside my house.

And it was already CHAOS.

"How Did You Start A Fire?!" I screamed,
The fire extinguisher in my hand,

I had turned it off by this point.
But I needed to know how they did it.

"She's mad." Xion said as he pointed at me.

Keonhee asked, "Are you like going to spray us with raid if we say the truth?"

"I don't have raid." I confessed as I lowered the fire extinguisher and placed it on the Now "snow- covered" tile.

I figured they took the fire extinguisher as a threat. I didn't want them to be uncomfortable.

"Please just tell me what happened." I asked one more time as I held in anger.

This kitchen I had just remodeled it.

But I couldn't get mad at them.

They must have been frightened,

They are tiny,
a faster risk of being burnt...or worse.

They all looked down towards their feet.

Hwanwoong was the one to speak up,

"We tried to cook for you. Because you let us stay in your house. We wanted to thank you."

That was the sweetest thing someone has ever said to me.

They were the kindest I had met.

I smiled and then laughed off.

"That's really sweet of you guys, you didn't have to." I sat on the stool so I could try to be at eye level with them.

"Next time just order takeout. Use the home phone."

Leedo kicked at Seoho. "I told you we should've ordered Chinese takeout."

"Wahhh! Homemade food is better!" Seoho kicked back.

They both fell over and landed on top of the salt shaker.

I chuckled and watched them explore the salty mess on the counter.

Ravn started picking up the particles of salt and asked me where the trash can was.

"It's a little far for you. Just place it in my hand."

The others started to do the same.
It tickled a little when they placed the salt on my hands.

"Keonhee I dare you to eat one." Xion said as he placed a sat particle against Keonhee's Cheek.

"No, that's weird." He said as he placed it on my palm.

"I don't want you guys to be sick." I said with a smile. "That would make him puke."

Hwanwoong looked doesn't towards the floor.
"Do you want me to clean that? It's our fault it's a mess here."

"Nah it's fine. I can clean it real quick." I got off the stool and grabbed the mop.

I quickly mopped up the place,
And sighed when I saw the burnt marks on the floor.

The boys watched me,
before I took a seat.

I placed my laptop on the counter and smiled at them.

"I'm going to get back to work. You guys do your thing."

They were pretty silent at first.
All I could hear was myself typing.

The small clicking sounds.

I glanced up to see All of them sitting beside my laptop and looking up to me.

"Can I help you?" I asked them.

"No, we just want to stare at you" Seoho said while grinning.

I chuckled. "That's cute and all but aren't you guys bored?"

"Nah." Keonhee said as he tripped over my headphone cord.

He screamed a little and fell on my keyboard.

I watched the letters appear on my screen and snorted trying to hold back my laughter.

They were small.

Tiny,

It worried me they'd get hurt.

I must protect them.
