Fifteen.
Tracing To You : When Love Strikes.I woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache.
"Oh...gawd..." I bit my lower lip to sustain the pain but it only hurts more.
I groaned and threw the sheets away, getting up slowly. Rubbing my head with my wrist, I stretched my other arm and scratched my head. I finally opened my eyes to see a glass of water and some medicine prepared by my bedside. I looked at the small yellow note that came with it.
'Min Jae ah.. I left some medicine and water for you to take first thing when you wake up. Oh! And an energy bar... Minho asked me to prepare for you,
XOXO,
Key'
"Komawo...." I smiled and took the pills, swallowing it down with water.
I patted my chest and sighed, taking a deep breath and let the medicine work into my system. I lied back down in bed, closing my eyes only to drift into a small slumber before forcing myself awake.
"Thats better..." I said to myself, standing up slowly and stretched my whole body again. I went over to my drawers and grabbed a pair of shorts and shirt, yawning in the process. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked at myself in the mirror.
Mhmm.... eyebags...
I smiled and checked my phone. I gulped when I saw texts from Kai.
'Hey, can you call me back? - Kai'
'Sorry, are you asleep? -Kai'
'Are you awake? Can we talk?' -Kai'
I gulped and looked at the phone.
To reply.. or not?
I gulped again and put the phone down - screen down. I sighed and felt guilty. I decided to make a decision after bathing. A little bit of showering helps to clear the mind a bit.
I opened the door and ...
THUMP!
I peeked at the front of the door, to see a paper bag. I looked around and saw no one in the corridor, reaching over and picking the bag up. I looked inside to see my chiffon skirt.
I didn't remember what happened last night but I must have took them out and bathed. And then...
Oh?
"My skirt..." I muttered, "It wasn't with the dirty laundry....."
My voice trailed off and I sat down on the chair, putting the bag down as I took out the skirt.
The stains from yesterday was gone. I looked at it, blinking my eyes in disbelief.
"How..."
The bag dropped again and the contents inside spilled over the floor. I cursed, hating the mess and picked all the paper cranes and put it back in. I was about to pick up another batch of cranes when I saw a piece of paper folded in two.
I unfold it and looked at it, reading the message.
'I know the skirt meant a lot to you... which is why I stay up late to clean it up for you... Hope that it looks okay...
- Minho'
I gasped and folded the note back, placing the note on my table and bit my lip.
"Min...ho...." I looked at the skirt and then at his note. I gulped and wondered if he was still around.
Immdiately, I ran out of the room, dropping the skirt and forgetting the mess of the floor, running up the steps to the main house. I stopped and looked up, seeing his bedroom windows open.
Please... be in your room....
I panted and climbed up the stairs in a hurry, taking two at a time. I gulped and ran to the other end of the corridor the moment I reached the second floor and burst opened the door with the sign that had his name on it.
"Oppa!"
I looked around, smiling.
Slowly, the ends of my lips fell down as I came to realise, he was not in his room.
The curtains in his room was flying as the breeze passed by. I sighed and went over to the curtains, tying them to the side and sighed heavily.
Eodiyoh?
My heat was beating fast not only from adrenaline rush but from.. from what I know now.
My vision was clear as to who I wanted to be with and who will be the one I will be with... No matter what.
I bit my lip and headed out, passing by his L-shaped study table with books and papers stacked up in an orderly manner. Just above it was a corkboard where he pinned all his notices and all on it.
All paper...
I sighed and stopped by the door, walking a few steps back and look at the corkboard again.
There in the middle of it all the notices and notes.
Was a polaroid picture of Minho and I together.
