You + Me = ?

Laplace's Equation

The Present, 2017

I woke up with a weird feeling.

When I got up at seven this morning, I had a million thoughts running through my mind, despite the early morning sexual activity I had engaged in, I found that I was unable to stay asleep. I have never felt so uneasy in a long time, I was agitated and nervous, and to make matters worse I felt like I haven't slept in days.

When Minho got up at some minutes after eleven, he found me surrounded by some papers and my laptop open. "Babe? What are you doing?"

I sigh heavily, "research. I already made breakfast."

He stoops down, "Hei Ryung-ah," he takes my hands in his, "you look really tired, let's go back to bed."

I groan softly, "I can't. I have a meeting in half an hour."

I stand to my feet with a yawn, "are you sure you can't cancel?"

I think about that actually, but then I'm faced with the memory of Miss Maria Luiza's tears and the desperation in her voice when she said she needed my help. And as much as I feel like roadkill right now, I don't think it's a good idea to keep her waiting.

"I'll be fine. I'm just going to take a quick shower, make sure you eat something."

As I walk off he gently grabs on to my hand and spins me around, and before I can protest he quickly kiss me. I sigh softly into the kiss as he holds me by the waist and pulls me closer.

He gives me a short peck, "I love you."

I nod my head as I look at him, "I love you too. Now can I go?"

He chuckles lightly at me then releases his grip. I smile shyly at him then head to my bedroom to get ready, during the entire time it took to get myself together, my heart kept on racing.

I'm trying hard to place the feeling but it's a bit difficult, it's like my subconscious is trying to warn me about something. I start to feel even more threatened when I enter the living and Minho is no where to be seen, when he didn't answer to his name I start to search the entire apartment for him but it was to no avail.

I think he just left without saying a word. "What an asshole."

I grab my phone off the counter in a rush as I quickly leave the apartment, as soon as I get to the car I dial his number him. But much to my disappointment his phone keeps on ringing without an answer.

I sigh heavily as I decide to leave a message, "hey, is everything okay? You suddenly left without telling me, and I'm a bit worried. Call me back once you get this. I love you."

I drive silently to the café that I agreed to meet Miss Maria Luiza at, and during that time I kept going over possible scenarios as to why Minho would just rush out like that, the rapper didn't even leave a note or anything, he just disappeared. I know that today's a break for him, but I'm going with the thought that something came up and he had to leave.

As I pull up at the intersection, I blow out a breath as I spot the small café, why am I so nervous? After skillfully executing a parallel parking, I sit in my car for about five seconds as I try to pull myself together, when my racing heart returned to a somewhat normal state, I exit the vehicle.

As soon as I make it through the door, I spot Miss Maria Luiza sitting at a table at the back. I sigh softly as I recognize the nervous look on her face, I guess I'm not the only person feeling a bit weird about this meeting.

I smile at her as I sit down, "hello. Did you wait long?"

She shakes her head at me, "no not at all."
