BLESSED | ZICO (ON HOLD)

8 - Home

Soon after, Zico spoke

"Ah, by the way, this is my room. Your room.... you can pick which one that you like but I've already made that (showing another room) as my wardrobe room and that one as my working place."

I replied while nodding my head

"Ah.. ne."

He continued again

"Do you work today?"

I was shocked with that question and then answered him

"Ne? Ah... Ani."

"Okay, good."

"Wae?"

"I want you to clean this house and the most important thing is my wardrobe. Make sure it is clean and tidy. But, you are not allowed to enter my workplace. Let me clean up by myself. You just focus on the living room, kitchen, laundry and so on. Okay? Understand?"

"Nnneee.."

"And....if you feel you want to decorate this house or want to buy some furniture you can go on. I don't mind."

"Ah.. ne. Gamsahabnida."

After he didn't have anything to say, he left.

Altia POV

A few minutes after Zico went out, I'm checking the room he talked just now. I went to each room expect this workplace. Even though he told me to pick any room, I guess there's only one room available now.

I went to Zico's wardrobe. It's totally messed up and shaking my head. Then, I went to the kitchen. It was empty. No dishes and any utensils.

Now, I'm checking his refrigerator. Only some plain water and a few bottles of soda was inside while on the rack it's only a few snacks to be seen.

After checking all the areas of the house, I begin to clean it. For cleaning, there's nothing much to do while I just have to spend more time arranging a few things. But today, I just want to focus on removing the dust and buying some groceries and kitchen utensils.

After I listed down all ingredients and things I wanted to buy, I'm off to the market.

I spent almost 5 hours looking for all those stuff and at the same time, I also managed to make some surveys on a few furniture for our living room so that it will make it easier to buy later.

As soon as I arrive at home, I go directly to the kitchen and arrange all those grocersie that I've bought. I don't know what Zico's favorite is so I'm just guessing it and looking for his info on the Internet.

Next, I do some dishes for the utensil that I just bought. I leave it for a while to wait for it to dry. After that, I move to Zico's wardrobe. I'm just arranging a few things cause I know this will take a long time to clean up. So I'm thinking of arranging it little by little.

After I finished up, I went to the empty room where I will make it as my room. It's very small. You can't even set up a queen bed size cause it will not fit in.

Zico didn't mention anything about his room. I ever thought about whether to stay with him or not but I'm sure he does not like it and he must find it very uncomfortable when I am around. So, I'm just okay with it. I sleep with only a small pillow and blanket. This room becomes more packed when I put my both luggage. Apart from that, I just bring one of my luggage inside

Now, it's already 11 pm. But there's no sign for Zico to come home. So, I'm sending him a message

"Zico-shi, are not coming home tonight?"

I'm waiting for him to reply me back but he doesn't. At the end, I slept.

Zico's POV

It's already 11 in the evening. I'm with my friends, talking at some stall. I don't know when I will go back.

But then, I received a message from Altia

"Zico-shi, are not coming home tonight?"

I looked at it without giving any response. I close my phone and back listening to my friends. Deep inside of me, I said, "wae? if I'm home, what are you going to do? Probably you already sleep in my room. Tsskk."

After a few hours talking, we went home.

Zico's House

I came home at 2 am. As soon as I entered the home, it's very quiet. I'm sure Altia has already slept in my room and I also have decided to just sleep in the living room. Then, I went to my room to change my clothes and I turned on the light.

As it on, I was shocked cause Altia was not there. So, I rushed to another room and was shocked again. I saw Altia who slept in a small room without an aircon and fan. She only has a thin blanket and small pillow. It's so heartbreaking to see her like that and at the same time I said. "Is she even breathing? I mean, who on earth put their blanket from head to toe."

I laughed.

After that, I went back to my room. After I finished cleaning up, I lay on my bed and slept.
