Welcome back everyone to another chapter~ :)

I'm so sorry this chapter took so long to do; I kept putting it off >_>

And now that school's back... D:

Anyway, I can't keep stopping you guys from reading, so enjoy! ^^

Tae Yoon’s alarm rang, signalling the beginning of her day. It was 6:00AM, and although she woke up at this time pretty much every day for work, she felt like she needed more sleep. Nevertheless, she got up unwillingly, put on her slippers and quietly entered the bathroom, as to not waken her daughter and their guest. She brushed her teeth, washed her face and changed into an ironed sleek black business suit. She quietly walked to the kitchen and carefully grabbed her handbag from the kitchen chair. Checking she had everything she needed, she slipped on her shiny black stilettos and walked out the door. Before she did so, she checked on her daughter, who apparently hadn’t woken up, much to her relief.

Eun Mi and the guest were both sprawled on the couch, wrapped in separate blankets, face to face. Tae Yoon was moderately surprised at the sight, but smiled to herself. She was glad that Eun Mi, who had been hurt by love previously, had company, even if it was a stranger she had met one day ago.

They look so cute together...I wonder if this one meeting would bring them together...and even get them married...What a beautiful love story, just like one out of a drama...Tae Yoon, imagine them having your grandkids! Wouldn’t they just be so cute?

She smiled happily once more, and left the apartment, ready for a day’s work.

Two hours past since Tae Yoon had left the house, and the sun was shining strongly through the cracks of the blinds. Eun Mi slowly opened her eyes. Kyuhyun, who was used to having someone screaming in his ears for him to wake up, had not woken up yet. Her eyes widened. She had completely forgotten that she was sleeping right next to Ji Wook. After watching dramas, she hadn’t bothered to go back to her own bed, and feel asleep right on the couch. She sat up immediately, still wrapped in her blankets; she hadn’t expected to be sleeping on the same couch with this Ji Wook person.

Ah. What do I do? I haven’t been this close to a guy ever since...that bastard left me. I wonder what mum thought of me...I pray to god that mum didn’t see me...it would be embarrassing.

After the initial shock was worn away, she slowly lay down again, facing him. She could see every detail of his face: his lashes, his pointy nose, his cheekbones, his shiny black curly hair, every single pore on his perfect smooth skin. It was a pity she wasn’t able to see his lips, which were covered by the white face mask he always wore. But, she could imagine them; soft, pink and lush. She hesitantly reached out to touch his face; which was strikingly similar to Kyuhyun’s. But then, she stopped herself.

No, Eun Mi. No. That’s just creepy...you don’t even like him, remember?

She kept her arms firmly to her sides, closed her eyes again, and drifted off back to sleep.

Kyuhyun awoke, confused as to why there was no Sungmin shouting at him to get up. Then he remembered.

Oh yeah...I’m staying at that ahjumma’s house.

He yawned, and lifted his arms up to rub his eyes. Then he stopped, taking in what his eyes were seeing.

Wait a second...isn’t that the girl?

He sat up straight away.

What is she doing next to me huh?

He looked at the girl. She was wrapped tightly in a blanket, not unlike a caterpillar in its cacoon, her long flowing dark brown hair fringing her face. Thick black lashes lined her eyes and her pillowy pink lips set in a slight smile, as if she was dreaming. He gently smiled, before coming to his senses.

He shook his head vigorously to rid himself of those thoughts.

What are you thinking Kyuhyun? She’s just a stranger, and to add, you’ve never had a proper girlfriend, so stop thinking of these thoughts. Please.

He stepped out his blanket, and put on his hoodie, careful not to take off the mask. He folded up the blanket neatly and placed it on the couch, putting the pillow on it. Now he just had to wait for Eun Mi to wake up before leaving.

It didn’t take long for Eun Mi to awake, and when she did, she insisted that he stay for breakfast. She handed Ji Wook a spare toothbrush, and brushed their teeth. While they brushed their teeth, Eun Mi’s phone rang. She walked to her bedroom to answer it, remerging with a phone to her ear and a toothbrush in . It was her mother, telling her what she could cook for breakfast. She took her toothbrush out of to reply.

“Yes mum, yes I know...I know...ok, bye mum.”

After she ended the call, she walked to the kitchen bench and placed it there before returning to the bathroom to finish brushing her teeth. Ji Wook had already finished, and was waiting in the living room. After she finished brushing her teeth, she made her way into the kitchen.

“What to eat...?” she asked.

“I don’t mind.” Ji Wook replied.

Eun Mi ended up cooking kimchijeon, one of her favourite dishes. Ji Wook seemed to appreciate her cooking, and ate by sliding food under his mask, as he had did last night.

“Wow...your kimchijeon is even better than Ryeo...I mean the ones that one of my roommates make.” he exclaimed.

Eun Mi blushed. She wasn’t good at accepting compliments.

“Um...thanks.”

While they were eating their breakfast, Ji Wook received a text message.

You’re coming home today right? Manager hyung will send a driver over. There’s practise today, so you better come. Sungmin.

Before Kyuhyun replied, he asked Eun Mi the address.

Don’t worry, hyung, I’ll definitely be there. Here’s the address:  12/88, Teheran-ro, Samseong-dong. Tell the driver to come at 10 and to wait in the underground garage.

After he finished texting, he left his phone on the kitchen bench, next to Eun Mi’s.

As the two ate, there was a silence, a silence which became more awkward every second it was not broken. Although this silence was almost unbearable, both of them seemed comfortable with keeping to themselves. Once the two had finished eating, it was time for Ji Wook to leave.

“Um...well, I should get home now.” he said slowly. “Tell your mum I’m really grateful for her hospitality.”

“I will.” Eun Mi replied.

Ji Wook grabbed his phone on the kitchen bench, and walked out of the apartment, bidding Eun Mi goodbye.

“Bye...” said Eun Mi.

Once Ji Wook had left, Eun Mi felt a sense of loneliness; as much as Ji Wook’s company was slightly uncomfortable, at least it was still company. She went to wash the dishes, before turning on the TV to finish the rest of the drama.

kimchijeon - Kimchi pancakes

How did you guys find this chapter?

I know it's alot short than my previous ones... :/

But I thought it would be best to leave it at there n__n

It took so long to write, as I had to do some research on the location of the SuJu dorm, because I needed Eun Mi's house to be close to that >_>

I try to make everything as realistic as possible, so I have to do tonnes of research before writing (:

Anyways, subscribe, comment and please suggest anything~

(:

Thank you guys so much <3

Peace&Love;
