The 7th Year | Kim SeokJin

Chapter 13

Rachel found exploring his house a ton more fun without him. She started by just opening doors until she found his office.

"Ah ha!" She exclaimed quietly, pushing open the door and stepping inside like she owned the place. "Post its, post its." She reminded herself as she hadn't even made it two steps and was already distracted by the things on the bookshelf. She whistled highly and let it out slowly when she saw two frames turned down on the bookshelf.

She turned slowly to lift them up, bending down slightly to look; as if she was afraid to fully show the picture to the room.

"Weird." She said running her fingers along the wood once she set it down. It smelled dusty in here, she could tell he didn't use this room much. "Bingo." She smiled at sight of the post it notes. She grabbed the entire thing, and a random pen on the desk, walking to the door and shutting it behind her. "Office."

She announced as she wrote, placing the note on the closed door. She did this for every room, every closed door.

"Holy shit it's a boat." She muttered upon opening the garage door, disguised like many other doors. The post it bundle was dropped as she fan-girled over the monstrosity of a yacht in her garage. "Holy crap we have a boat." She said out loud, grabbing the railing at the back of the boat and pulling. "Its real." She gasped, pulling herself on it. She pulled out her phone, jumping off the boat with expertise and dialing Jin.

"Okay rule number one." He said once he answered the phone, "you can't call me."

"You didn't tell me we had a boat." She said excitedly barely letting him finish.

"Technically I have 3 boats, what you found in the garage doesn't work anymore."

Her large eyes found the out of water beauty.

"Do we have a sailboat? I can sail." She said excitedly. "Where are the boats, is that on the list?"

"No sail boats. The boats are at the marina. We will go another time."

Rachel actually pouted.

"Fine." She huffed, hanging up on him. "I'm waiting in my new houseboat then." She rolled her eyes climbing back aboard the small yacht.

The next day was even better.

She woke up, and the first thing she could smell - was a boy. Granted she was sleeping in his bed, on his pillow AND might have been wearing his shirt that she most definitely did not douse in his cologne. She had a brand new day ahead of her, in a brand new city, and she was excited.

Now, all she had to do was wait. She was cut off from the world now, her phone running out of battery and her charger in her luggage that was arriving room.

"Shit." She muttered with a mouthful of bread as she ate her breakfast alone at the large table. Her charger fit an American outlet; she was going to have to go to a Samsung store. That wouldn't be too hard. She was unsure even what her plans of the day were - she was supposed to go to Jin's parents house but now that he was gone she had no clue what was happening with that.

She checked on her docked boat again before leaving the house with her purse, alarm numbers, some of the novel of rules Jin wrote, house keys, gate keys... Rachel had event left the house yet and she was already tired.

Once she made it outside the gate, locked herself outside (she did make sure the code worked to reenter, thankfully she didn't have to murder Jin today) she left with a smile and a slight mission of getting a new charger plug.
