Chapter 5 - In the Dark ◆

N

A knock on the door woke me up in my deep sleep. What does Yoongi want this time? Is it already time for me to prepare food for him?

I looked at the clock again. But it's still 2:00 AM.

What does he want this time?

Yoongi

The moment she mentioned those words, I fall out of sanity. I didn't know she would directly say it in front of me without even asking herself if it's decent. She's not even careful with her words. She's so bold but innocent at the same time.

I admit, I blushed when she said it. But no, I don't want to take advantage of the chance that she was here with me. I cleared my throat. "I got to go." I bid, trying to act coldly.

I told her to wake up early and cook for me because I wanted to see her even before I go to work.

I went upstairs but stopped when I get to the top. I looked at her cleaning the mess I left on the table.

She is so beautiful. I cannot even avoid looking at her scar. She looks even more beautiful with it. I really wish I could touch it someday. WAIT? WHAT?

I dropped my phone upon hearing myself. But oh no. It really fell down the ground. Maybe I caught her attention because the rumbling on the kitchen counter halted. I ran down to get my phone. I think it was broken. Maybe I'll just buy another one tomorrow.

Speaking of phone, I need to get her number. She approached me but I forced myself to ignore her. I ran upstairs and locked my room. It's already midnight. I still couldn't sleep. My feet brought me downstair, I went to check the fridge but it seems like food isn't going to pleasure me. I kept walking until I stopped in front of her room. Why am I here? I knocked on the door. Seconds later, I heard no response. I knocked again and this time, louder. The same thing happened. I knocked for the last time and waited. But no answer. I guess I'll just have to return to my room and force myself to sleep.

"What do you want?" She said. I turned my back to her. I tried to speak but I stammered. "Uhmm... My lamp broke. And... I don't have any lights in my room." I lied. After she opened her mouth to stretch, she spoke. "So are you asking me to buy you a replacement lamp at this hour to make you fall back to sleep?" She said sarcastically. I wanted to just go but it's my fault. I woke her up. I should've thought twice before doing that, I didn't want to compromise her.

"I'm just afraid of the dark." I tried again. This time, I wasn't lying. I really am afraid of the dark. "Where do you plan to sleep?" She asked while stretching again. I can see the sympathy in her eyes. Was she concerned? Something inside me welled up. "In the couch. I guess." I replied. I backed out, cutting the conversation. I headed to the living room alone. I sat there. Waiting for her to get back to sleep. But the door of her room opened again. I was curious. She walked up to me bringing a pillow and a blanket in her arms. "Here. Come." She softly said. She motioned for me to lay down on the couch. She pushed the pillow on my head and covered me with a blanket. "You know what, you don't need to be afraid of the dark." She comforted me. I just looked at her. I took advantage of the moment that her face was closer to mine. She stood up, maybe going back to her room. I was startled when she turned the lights off. I can't see anything, I panicked. She placed her hand in my eyes, covering it.

"Yoongi, count from one to five." She demanded.

"Let's count together okay?" She continued when I didn't respond. She started counting. I just remained quiet but secretly counting in my head. "Five." She pulled her hands away. "Open your eyes." When I opened my eyes, I saw her face. She looks mysteriously beautiful. "You'll never get afraid of the dark again. Just close your eyes and think of something, then open it. After that, you'll see how beautiful your surrounding is and you'll finally appreciate the dark."

She smiled at me and after that, she stretched. She looks so sleepy now. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep. Just at least pretending, to make her go back.

He didn't even thank me after I helped him conquer his fear. He just has to let his eyes adjust to the dark. Pssh. He's so arrogant. I went back to my room and jumped on the bed, bouncing. The next time he knocks on my room and disturbs me, I'm not gonna help him. Not a single chance. With that, I drifted to sleep considering I still have work to be done early in the morning.
