I continued to pound on the door, even after series of laughter had died down, before looking for something that could help me
That's right, my phone, but there was no reception. I almost threw it on the floor
I tried all what I could but to no avail. Resigned, I went to a corner and slumped on the floor. I was extremely cold and shivering
I felt myself losing consciousness, but before I could completely loss it, the door suddenly burst open
"Choi Soo Joon!. Ya! Soo Joon-ah, jeong-sin cha-ryeo" hey!... come to your senses
"Shut it" I muttered before I passed out
^^^^^
My mind was a blank as I opened my eyes
My eyes glazed through the ceiling, as I was blinking, trying to get where I was
I was in my room
Confused, I slowly sat up
What in the world happened? And why do I have no recollection of returning home, to talk of laying on my bed, and sleeping?
For some reason, I was shivering. I stood up anyways, headed to the bathroom
I was few feet away, when the bathroom door opened. MY eyes bulged as I looked at the person standing in front of me
"Mwoya?" what's this?
I stepped back
"Nu... Nun... Yeo-ki mwo-ha-go-iss-eo? Neoneun wae yeogie issni?" yo... you... what are you doing here? why are you here?
Instead of getting a reply, I was ignored
"You're not supposed to stand yet" he said
He walked towards me, and still dazed, I let him lead me to my bed
"Anj-a" he said, gently making me sit
He put the towel in his hand into the water bowl on my bedside table. He squeeze it and placed it on my head
It was warm
Before I knew it, I was angry
I swatted his hand away from my face, making the towel fall on my laps
"O-raen- man-I-da" long time no see I said, although my tone was anything but welcoming
"An geu rae?" don't you agree? I added when he didn't reply
"Hwa nass-eo?" are you angry? he asked silently
"Hwa nass-eo? Neo jigeum jinjihage mul-eo bo nan?" am I angry? are you seriously asking me that right now?
"Hwa nass-eo" you are angry he decided
"I could never have know. Neomu manh-i kamsahamnida, hyeongsa-nim" thank you so much, detective I said with a small bow
He folded his lips, gently standing up. He took the bowl back into the bathroom, and came out after a while
"Eotteohge done geo-ya? Why are you here? How did I get here?" what happened? I asked him
"Ah. I went to school to meet you. I saw you but before I could catch up with you, you walked away with three other girls. I followed you but something came up. I later saw the three other girls, but not you, so, I went to look for you. You were locked in the , extremely cold. You passed out, but the nurse had gone home, so I brought you home instead; it's closer than the hospital"
I nodded, I remember
I'm going to shave every single strand of hair they had, and ship them off to the monastery, I vowed
I was about to ask how he knew my house, but remembered that he had dropped me off couple of times. Instead
"How did you get in?" I asked
"You had your key in your pocket. I didn't grope or anything, believe me, I just got lucky at first try, the same as finding your room"
"And how should I believe that you didn't grope?" I asked suspiciously, although I believe him
"I'm serious, I didn't. I'm not like that"
I gave him a small smile, before quickly removing it, remembering that I was supposed to be angry at him. But the anger had already vanished
I signed as I moved up my bed and leaned on the frame
"Neo gwaechanh-a?" are you okay?
He raised his eyebrows in question
"You were in pain" I emphasized
"Ah, I'm okay" he answered
He didn't deny it, I noted
I nodded
I had question to ask him, but I didn't. I took his word, he said he was going to let me know
"Geuleom, dwae-sseo" that's enough, then I said
"Am I forgiven, then?" he asked
I ignored him
He smiled and walked out the door
I expected to hear the front door opening, instead, I heard noise from the dining
I removed my covers, and descended the stairs
"Mwo hae? I thought you were leaving" what are you doing? I asked him
"Baegopa" I'm hungry he replied
"Geulaeseo?" so?
He brought his head form the counter he was searching
"I'm looking for what to eat"
He went to the fridge
"Mwo?"
He rose up from his bent height
"Come to think of it, were you going to leave without falling me bye?" he asked
"Why should I? It's not as if you said bye before disappearing for a week" I retorted
He nodded and went back to focusing on the fridge
I walked towards him, pulled his head out, and closed the fridge door
"Naga" get out I told him
"Baegopa" I'm hungry he repeated
"Geulaeseo?" so?
"I'm looking for what to eat?"
"Jigeum jangnan hae?" are you kidding me right now?
I rose my hand, but stopped myself from actually hitting him
"Nan jinjja baegopa" I'm really hungry he complained
"Anh naga?" aren't you getting out?
His stomach replied for him
"See" he said
I glared at him for a while before giving in
I pushed him, gently, to the side and walked pass him
I went to the counter for cereal. I reached for the Weetabix, but stopped. He might not like it, and if he does, I'm not sharing
Instead, I brought out the cornflake carton
I waved it at him
He shook his head
I brought out the frosted flakes, and he shook his head again. He did the same for the Raisin, Oat and Granola cereal. I tossed the Shredded Wheat on the counter
"Aish, jinjja! Why do you keep shaking your head? Just pick one already, meolileul jaleugi jeon-e" seriously! before I cut your head off I threatened
"Don't you have something other than cereal?" he asked unfazed
"Wae? Are you going to cook?"
"I have no objective to that"
I took a deep breathe, before going to sit on the dining
I cross my arms, and look at him
Understanding my message, you're on your own, he continued his search for food. After opening two counters, he smiled as he brought out ramen
"Ramen? We had ramen?" I asked him
"Tsk tsk"
"Chugule?" want to die?
"Now, let's see... Kimchi"
"Mwoya?" what this? I asked getting down
"Why are I just seeing these things?"
"Want me to make for you?" he asked
"I don't know. I've never had ramen. Seen, but never tasted"
"Then you're lucky. Your first ramen will be a masterpiece. I'm especially good at making ramen, you know"
"That's what they all say. And it's just noodles"
He just signed
"I'll make you change that statement" he assured me, and went on to prepare it
When it was done, the smell was already wafting through my nose pleasantly, he placed napkin down, then the pot
"The best way to eat ramen it from the pot" he stated
He brought out chopsticks and soup spoons
"Do you know how to use this?" he asked
I nodded, eager to taste what was in front of me. It smelled wonderful
Two seconds of it in my mouth, made my eyes open wide. I looked up at him, and gave him two thumbs up
"I told you" he said
It was safe to say I was practically the one who ate it all, we leaned back on our seat, not saying anything
He looked at his watch
"I think it's time for me to go. You can clean up, right?"
I nodded
"Geuleom, see you tomorrow" then he said, standing
"Tomorrow's a weekend"
"I know. See you tomorrow"
I laughed
"Make sure to wrap yourself up tonight, don't get sick"
"Back to you"
He ruffled my hair, mildly
"Ya" hey
He chuckled
"Annyeong" he said
"Annyeong" I replied back
He left
