| Chapter 37

The sun was slowly settling down, most of the shops closed, less people around the area, street lights surrounding most of the sidewalks and there was you two in the bakery, the light lit up brightly while the sign indicates the word 'closed'. The two of you decided to stay for what exactly? Why?

Smiling to yourself, you fixed the tangled strap of Seokjin's apron while he was busy staring at a specific person who seems to smile like a dork.

You.

Grinning, you grabbed his collar and pulled him down to match your height, hanging the the strap around his neck you swiftly stood behind him, tying the two ribbon like strips.

"Done!" you exclaimed and clasp your hands together grinning like a kid while looking at Seokjin up and down with his Pink apron.

"I'll fix mine and you tie a knot for me yeah? " you mumbled while squinting your eyes at the tangled and confusing straps of the apron.

Sitting at a stool, Seokjin rested his head at his palms while staring at you, he doesn't know why but he likes to and you seemed to be okay with it since you were used to it now. Gritting your teeth, you struggled in fixing your apron and just decided to give up since  the two of you need to close the shop after an hour.

Frowning you threw the apron out of your sight and into the box, shifting your gaze at Seokjin who's staring at you, you shrugged and gestured for him to go to the kitchen.

Opening some lids, boxes, racks you thought to yourself about the days Seokjin was being a creep. Literally, you sometimes saw him looking through your photo album which contains humiliating and embarrassing stuff. In sometime, you caught him staring at you for no apparent reason and as time passed you got used to it.

With the physical interactions, the stares and the scolding. You noticed it, the fact that Seokjin was manipulative and sometimes possessive in things he owned. Like, when that time when you were just about to move his stuffed animal he threw you a fit of scolding after he knew about what you did.

"Ara?"

You were used to his voice, his soft and gentle voice. You like the way your name rolls out of his mouth when he calls you and that creeps you out. You were acting weird and something in your guts is telling you that it's bad news.

Averting your attention at Seokjin who's holding out trays and measuring tools, you blinked and furrowed your eyebrows.

"What? "

"Aren't you gonna stop day dreaming and like come here already? We only have an hour"

Rolling your eyes, you lift the plate in your hands that contained some soft dough and went your way beside him.

"What are we going to-"

"Cake! " you exclaimed happily while roaming around the room for the other ingredients, shooking his head he let's out a small chuckle and glanced at your figure.

"Seokjin helping me is better than staring at me" scrunching his nose, he nods and walk towards you who's struggling to reach out a cup. As he reached for it, he suddenly leaned at your figure which made you freeze at your spot, shifting your figure, you slid away from him and just waited.

"Here-"

"Thank you! "

...

Seokjin taught you things about cooking and about your sense of
smell along with the sense of touch, for some reason at first it was really hard you couldn't tell at all. The two of you either ends up arguing, shouting or scolding each other, but that didn't made the two of you grow apart. It made the two of you stick together like glue, as if like you wouldn't and couldn't live without the other.

Resting your head at his broad shoulders, you glanced up at the stars while you clinged your arm around his neck. "Seokjin? " you called softly whispering at his ear while he hums as an answer, he knew that you were fired exhausted to say the least. You've been working 24/7 and even though Seokjin took some of your work in his hands, you still applied to others and that irritates him.

"The stars are beautiful!" you squealed while smiling until it drops as soon as you saw a mini market across from your line of sight and all of a memory of you with your luggage staring at the sky flashed through your eyes, sighing you buried your head at the crook of Seokjin's neck.

"Is something wrong Ara?" he ask while glancing at you worried written all over his face, lifting your head up you let out a small grin and whispered a-

"Yes"

...

Wrapping your body around a blanket, you stared at your neighborhood while clutching the cloth tightly around you. As Seokjin was just about to shout for the both of you to eat, he froze at his spot and he front as he saw your figure wrapped around a blanket which made you look like a dumpling.

Walking towards you, he glanced down and then crossed his arms. "okay, what's wrong Sarang?" he asked worry visible in his tone while you stared blankly at him with wide eyes, sitting down he held out his arms which made you smile at his gesture.

Giggling you shook your head and went to his warm embrance, leaning your head at his chest, you sulked and then continued staring at the stars twinkling up the dark sky.

"Okay, something's definitely wrong Sarang. Tell me" he stated out giving you a face of tell-me-or-you'll-starve-to-death look which made you shrug as an answer.

"what makes you think that? Nothing's wrong-"

"You always sulk in a corner or wrap yourself to hide with a blanket when your upset or if something's bothering you Ara now, tell me"

Parting your lips to retort, you closed them and just glared at him with a sigh. 

"I'll tell you later" you whispered which made him smile, nodding to himself he stood up and ruffled your hair which made you grimace.

"Let's eat! I'm starving" he exclaimed and walks his way to the kitchen leaving you at the floor with a grin.

Staring at the ring in your palm, you glared at it and you grimaced as pain immediately strucks you when you glanced at the calendar to check out the date, telling yourself about the memorable day-

September 20, the day you left the palace.
