"The herbs will make you drowsy, so I bet you need to sleep" Seokjin-hyung uttered urging her not to feel awkward when the herbs start reacting to her body.
"I will bring you to the guest room" Hoseok offered her his hand picking his bag.
"Hyung please can noona stay in your room, Bangchan and a few of his university friends are sleeping over. They went to cheer up a friend at his tournament, he just texted me they arrived late and can't make it to their various home"
Jungkook chipped in immediately showing his phone to his hyungs as a backup to his statement and Hoseok nodded in agreement to his statement.
He bring her into a beautiful, pale room, the floor was polished with exquisite tiles, and a king-sized bed with a rosy design of sunflower bedsheet and duvet beautifully covering the bed. A black magnetically designed wooden desk sits delightfully in front of a bay window overlooking the garden outside, making her wonder if Hoseok truly sleeps in this room.
Everything in the room looks so neat and arranged, that no one will believe someone is living here. A door led to an en-suite bathroom.
The room speaks money and there is no doubt they must be fuckling rich to afford all this luxurious living.
" Here you can lie down, I will call Becky now". Hoseok offered her his bed, took her phone, and try dialing a number when a knock came through. It was Jimin and Yoongi.
"How are you feeling now," Yoongi asked which surprised Bella and also make her shy at the same time. She respond to him shyly and Jimin chuckled at her reaction.
"Yahhhhh... Bella don't expect me to arrange your bedroom this time around; good of you to liter it with books and the cloth you refuse to fold into your drawer, if you are calling to sweet-talk me into doing it again for you, my sister you fail this time around" Becky's voice nagged through the phone which was on speak out.
Shock radiates from Bella's eyes and she looked up at Hoseok who was sitting beside the bed, and grinning all this while. Even Jimin and Yoongi weren't left out as the two joined, making her embarrassed more. Her eye was already covered in red and she hurriedly pull the blanket over her face in shame. Her action makes it more hilarious and the men burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"What up Becky, it's Hoseok, not Bella" His voice was cool amidst laughter and Becky scream out.
"Sorry to tell you this, Bella visits us for a small celebration but she is running a fever and can't make it home. Can I have your permission for her to sleep over?
"Running a fever.....what... what did she eat.. please let me speak with her" she stuttered amidst panicking over the phone Hoseok tapped on Bella's shoulder handing her back her phone to speak to her sister.
"Hello!!! She abruptly sit up on the bed, taking the phone from him and throwing a glance at Jimin and Yoongi who majestically was sitting in the double seater in the room. The whole situation was kind of awkward and she felt embarrassed.
Taking the phone, all she wishes to do was scream the hell at Becky for the embarrassing statement but she don't want to act on impulse. Scratching her head and trapping her lips as if she trying to keep her mouth shut from speaking her mind.
"Bella are you okay" Becky's voice came through the phone. "Do you eat shrimp? Her words stirred up the three men and they all widened their eyes in surprise.
"Don't worry just send me the address, I'm coming with Heechul to pick you okay".
It was as if the mention of Heechul awakened the misanthropic Bella and she gave out a mirthless reaction.
"Don't worry Bella, I'm fine I just need to sleep. I have taken my drugs, tomorrow I will be fine. Don't worry about me and take care of yourself okay" she uttered bidding her sister goodnight and laying down back on the bed.
Everywhere suddenly changed and the air become thick, making her more nervous. She wanted to speak but someone beat her to it first.
"I'm glad you are okay, I guess the scratching had reduced. Sure
Seokjin-hyung herbs seriously work out, Goodnight" Yoongi said standing up and taking his leave followed by Hoseok who excuse himself.
Immediately after the two left, Jimin approached her bedside.
"You know you are allergic to Shrimp, why then do you eat it?
She stared at the ground before raising her eyes to look at him.
"Because I want to taste Seokjin Oppa's delicacies" she answered softly.
"There are different delicacies to eat from the table Bella, you shouldn't eat what your body system doesn't like; don't tell me it is because Hoseok-hyung was the one that pick it for you," he asked softly.
His statement came as a surprise to her, making her fidget with the duvet. "Jiminah I'm fine, thanks for your care" She beamed at him and he smile softly at her, excusing himself from the room.
Immediately he left, Bella take a long breath, running her hand around the bed searching for her phone. Her cheeks heat up and she was upset at her sister's earlier remark on the phone. Her heart couldn't take it and she feel like calling her to pour out her mind, maybe texting her will be the best. She was still searching the bed for her phone when the door swing open and Hoseok come in.
"Why don't you tell me you are allergic to Shrimp? Hoseok raise an eyebrow at her, as he walked up to her bedside.
Her blood runs cold and then burns hot. She fidgets with the blanket, her breathing running to the back of her heart. She was taken slightly aback when he took her two hands into his.
"Why do you eat the shrimps, Bella? You sure like doing something crazy."
He said in a more sympathetic tone, which sends butterflies down her stomach. The proximity of their closeness gave her goosebumps and she stares at the ground.
" I'm sorry for picking it for you."
He uttered again and this time cold shivers run down her spine. Her head began to spin, it was as if he cast a spell on her. "I don't understand myself again," she thought within her heart. he's driving you crazy with his looks" her subconscious mind jibed in and she chuckled.
She doesn't know why, but it seems she has already fallen for him and she will be a fool denying herself that. It wasn't how she planned it but now she has no choice but to admit to her heart. She sits on the bed, looking at him like a lost sheep, her hands still in his hands. She wanted to say something but don't know what to see and she knows he already blames himself for offering her Shrimp, and she decided to at least say some soothing words to him at least to make him stop feeling guilty.
"You don't have to blame yourself, and besides it's your first time picking food for me. If I refuse, it won't be nice and I don't want to look rude and mannerless at the dining." She puffed up her cheeks.
"Silly" Hoseok muttered averting his face from her, his face almost broad with a smile. "hehe..... Seokjin-hyung said the herbs will make you drowsy why aren't you sleeping"
She chortles loudly throwing her head backward. "I have a strong immune system, you can't argue that"
"More like a stubborn system as her owner" he uttered.
"Yenyenyen!! You sure don't know how to say something nice to me" she scoffs, playfully pointing her fingers at him.
