I wandered straight to the kitchen, seeing him sitting on the chair while waiting for me. He lifted his head when noticing my arrival. He just scratched his nape as looked away, immediately. 'This will be awkward.' I told to myself.
I sat in front of him and smiled at him before greeted him, "Good morning. Sorry if I accused you that… You… You know… Something happened last night." He grabbed my plate as he placed the food on it. I mouthed him, 'Thank you' when he gave me the plate.
"That's fine. I should be the one, who needed to apologize. I'm sorry if I barged into the room without knocking at the door, knowing that you're dressing up." I just hummed as I bite my breakfast. After a minute of silence, Christian cleared his throat to get my attention.
"Mia, I'm sorry if I asked this but why are you so afraid of the thunderstorm?" My eyes widened when he asked me. I was taken aback about his question but I think it's better to tell him since he saw me terrified.
"I...I'm sorry, I'm being insensitive. I—" I cut him off and said,
"It's okay. I'll tell you since you saw me in my situation." He nodded as he placed down his utensils before listening to my story. I took a deep breath to relax soothe my heart since it's beating so fast.
"It was 5 years ago when something tragic happened in my life. I didn't remember the exact scenario. It was the middle of the night when it happened." I mumble as I look straight into his eyes, seeing him serious whilst listen to me.
FLASHBACK
"Amaia, where are we going?" I asked my older sister, Amaia, who's packing all my clothes inside the suitcase.
"Don't ask any question. Just come with me." She said while packing my clothes. After packing my things and walked out of my room. We quietly walked out of the house so no one could notice us going out.
We got inside the car and hurriedly drive the car. It was raining, not a simple rain but it's like a typhoon along with the thunderstorm. My sister didn't talk to me or informed me what will we go to.
"Amaia? What is happening?" She sighed as she kept looking at the side mirror as if someone chasing our car.
"Mia, I'm sorry." She said as she looked at me on the passenger's seat beside the driver's seat. She holds my hands when seeing me terrified on the sound of the thunderstorm.
"Just close your eyes, Mia." I nodded as I close my eyes. I heard a loud crashed from behind that made me screamed.
"Amaia, I...I'm t...terrified." I cried when another crashed from behind along with the loud thud of the thunderstorm.
"That bastard." I heard my sister said.
I screamed in horror when hearing another sound of the thunderstorm as I opened my eyes and I didn't expect what happened next.
"Amaia?" I called her as she removes her seatbelt and hugged me tightly.
"Just close your eyes, my love. And your sister will protect you." I closed my eyes as she said.
I heard our car crashed and landed down the bridge.
END OF FLASHBACK
"After the incident, someone rescued us. It was lucky that I survived and not my sister. They also confused why did I never forget what happened." I explained but he's just staring at me without saying anything.
"Christian?" He looked away as I caught him staring at me.
"I...I'm sorry that happened to you." I just hummed and smile. Honestly, It's a trauma for me when seeing my sister died in my arms but it happened.
"Did…did Theo knew about this?" He asked.
"Yes. Also Yoongi and Justin. They were shocked about the incident so they decided to stay with me when there's a thunderstorm to help me calm down."
"That's good to hear. You have friends to help you." I nodded as I finished my food.
After we ate, we both get inside the car. The ride was very awkward when no one talking.
"Thank you Christian for inviting me over your house. I appreciate it." He smiled at me even his focus was on the road.
"Also thank you for soothing me when I'm very terrified last night. I didn't expect you to do that."
"Well, I can't take it when seeing you terrified." I nodded as I looked outside.
"If you need someone, I'm here for you. You have contact with me so feel free to contact me." My heart jumped when he said that. I can't keep from smiling when he's very sweet.
"Here we are." I looked at the surroundings and I notice that we're in front of the entrance of the shop. I got out of the car and went to the driver's window. I knock on the window and he slides down the window to see me.
"Thank you, Christian." He nodded.
"You're most welcome, Mia." I smiled. He slides up his window before driving away from the shop.
"What was that?" I startled when Justin and Theodore appeared from somewhere. I just glared at them and went inside the shop.
"Mia! What was that?! Tell me what happened!" Theo yelled at me but I choose to ignore him.
"Mia!" Theo whined when I keep ignoring him.
"Nothing happened," I replied. He just scoffs.
"Lame! I know there's something that happened last night. It had heavy rain last night. I'll let this slide." I just shrug at him and went outside to water all the plants.
I noticed the woman looking in my direction from far. "Who was that?" I asked myself.
I strived to reached her direction to asked her but she was just walked away.
"Hmm. That's odd."
