Chapter Thirty-Seven:
Change.
“Morning!”
I literally jumped about a foot in the air as I stared at Jongin in shock who was fully dressed for school and sat at my grandmothers kitchen table “Jongin what the hell?!”
“Mira,” My grandmother scolded from the stove “Be nice to Jongin. He’s here to walk you to school.”
I narrowed my eyes at Jongin “Are you sure it’s not to steal my grandmothers breakfast?”
“Okay you caught me;” Jongin winked at my grandmother and she actually giggled “Sue me for loving a woman with good culinary skills Mira.”
“Oh Jongin,” My grandmother ran her fingers through his hair and I fought back the urge to vomit “I wish you were my grandson.” She turned to shoot me a look and my face flared up.

I sighed “Sure.”
“The attic needs sorting out. I’ve already ordered a skip to come by so you can put whatever you think is rubbish in it. Do you think you could do that? You said you wanted a distraction Mira and it’s the perfect opportunity.”
“Okay,” I nodded with the thought of finding lost treasure “Sounds good to me.”

“I think it’ll be fun,” Jongin aired as we walked towards my locker “We could be like pirates.”
“For once you actually make something sound fun,” I shoved my bag into my locker and shook my head “We’re going to find some weird stuff up there.”
“Oh man I hope so.” He bounced up and down excitedly.
“Operation obtain Mira is a go!” Baekhyun’s voice h
