39.
The Moon is Broken
When I came back I found Seung Hyun in the kitchen... flirting with the nuns and they were giggling at his comments like teenage girls. The guy has absolutely no shame. I watched how they surrounded him each offering him something delicious to eat. Where did they get that chocolate cake from and why didn't I get any?
"Is out cranky fairy feeling better now?" Seung Hyun smirked at me.
"I want to slap him to death", I thought as I looked at him, dead serious, trying to let him know I wasn't in the mood to joke around.
"About our discussion just now."
"Don't bring it up" he said promptly and placed another spoonful of rice in his mouth. "Let's just forget."
I glared at him in silence but soon looked around the kitchen surprised by the fact we were left alone. I didn't even notice when the nuns left because I was so absorbed into showing Seung Hyun how displeased I was with him.
"It amuses me each time you try to figure me out but fail miserably and have to give up" he murmured his eyes concentrated on the food.
I stared at his face, it was calm and carefree. There was no trace of that strange angry emotion and agony he had expressed a while ago. I took a seat across him and watched him eat.
Come to think of it, I can't even tell what he was feeling when he kind of glared at me before he kissed me. I can't even say he glared at me, he looked somehow disappointed but I am not sure if that was it. I have no idea what's going through his mental brain right now.
And because I seem to be the only sane around here, I think I shouldn't pick a fight with someone who can't control himself because there is something wrong with his brain. Didn't I just say that I don't care? So I better stop caring now before it's too late.
"Well, I am sorry then" I mumbled shifting my gaze off his face.
"I said, I don't want to talk about it."
"But I find it problematic. It's eating me. We need to talk."
"Why are you even saying sorry? What did you do wrong?"
He looked at me with questioning eyes, completely relaxed.
"I don't know" I scratched my forehead. "Maybe because I said those things... this face... I don't know... Feels weird" I mumbled my incoherent thoughts aloud.
"It wasn't your fault so drop the subject. It seems like you really weren't listening when I told you about the moon."
"Aish, why do you always have to talk about some freaking moon?" I snapped. "I am trying to understand this confusing situation here but you don't even care about my feelings. I am hurt and annoyed too."
The light in Seung Hyun's eyes dimmed but he kept smiling.
"Let me give you a simple advice. Stop listening and open your eyes" He said his voice sinking a few octaves deeper.
"And maybe then you might understand something."
I blinked when I heard his words. "I should look at what? The moon?"
He just sighed. "Why don't you just stop thinking and leave it to me? Because, you are not very good at it." Amusement laced his words as he spoke.
"Are you trying to say I am stupid?" I raised a brow.
"No, I am saying it's impossible for you to figure anything out" He put down his spoon and stood up.
"Anyway, let's clean up and go to bed" he winked. "I am tired" a yawn escaped his lips.
"Tsh" I looked away from him. Back to his usual self, I see. And once again it felt just plain useless to be mad at him.
Without another word he started putting away the dishes somehow finding their rightful places. Almost
