#np NCT's Touch

2018

I wake up to the ceiling of my room and not too long after, I start to think. The last thing I saw last night was Lee Jongsuk’s face… I also haven’t even changed my clothes for the night. How did I end up here, on my bed like this? Could it be that Wonho brought me here?

That thought made me jerk up from the bed. That’s so embarrassing… I rub my face with my palm while kicking the blanket in frustration. Why did I fell asleep at the sofa last night?

I spend quite some time thinking about that matter before getting up to the bathroom. Even while showering I try to imagine what happened last night. Was I heavy? Did I snore? Did I smell bad? I didn’t even shower last night, gosh.

But last night, watching TV with him, drinking with him, he feels much closer, much warmer. Moments like this, even when we have our meals together every night, I can’t help but to build my hopes up. I feel happy enough staying close him, hearing his voice, inhaling his scent…

I’m already thankful.

When I walk out of the room, I can immediately see Wonho who’s appeared very surprised to see me. He seems to have just finished taking his breakfast, judging from the glass of water he’s holding which is half empty.

But his face, he appears much more tired compared to what I saw him yesterday.

Did he even sleep?

“M-Morning, W-Wonho-ssi.”

He takes a step back, still having that shocked look on his face. How strange… Did something happened last night?

“G-Good morning.”

“W-Wonho-ssi, did you carry me to my room? S-Sorry if I troubled you.” I slightly bow and apologize but he only does the same, but his gaze… He’s looking anywhere but my eyes.

“It’s okay. I made breakfast. Help yourself.” He utters and walks hurriedly into his room with that glass.

Now this is getting even more bizarre. Something definitely happened, I can feel it. It’s either I snored or farted. Gosh… I walk towards the kitchen still feeling puzzled but when I notice that there’s rice and bean sprout soup on the table, my heart immediately flutters.

Good food in the morning always makes my day!

The fact that I’ll be working in a few days makes me feel so fired up to make this a success. I have to make myself useful to Wonho if I want to live here. Taeil’s company is mainly focusing on residential part, and so that morning, I start to surf on websites trying to find inspiration and to update myself with the latest trend and home designs.

But I can’t help but to glance at Wonho’s door from the living room at times, hoping that he would come out but I don’t think he will anytime soon.

Maybe he went back to sleep… He did look so worn out earlier.

But still, I can’t stop hoping.

There’s a showroom opening here today near town. I was planning to go when I heard about it a few days ago because it’s one of the popular designers’ here. I guess it’s good to top up my little knowledge and learn more about my work. As expected, there are
