String of Fate || K.C.W

Chapter 3: Sequence

" That's how we got to know each other. "

" Honestly, that's so sweet! "

I nodded in response. Chaewon was sipping on the coffee I made for her. She turned away with her hand covering her face. I wonder why. The door rang and Minju immediately ran towards the door. I got up and helped Minju carry the food to my dinner table.

" It smells delicious! "

" It sure does! "

Chaewon had already set up the table and arranged everything. We all sat down and started eating. The three of us shared our past stories which greatly enhanced the friendship between us. Surprisingly, we managed to finish all the food on the table. Minju was about to have a food coma which eventually made her want to go home.

" I'm gonna go and sleep at home. "

" I'll see you tomorrow then. "

Minju gave one last wave at both Chaewon and myself. She walked sluggishly to her apartment. It made me realise something as well. I was alone with Chaewon. My nervousness was starting to kick in.

" Y/N, can I ask you something? "

" What is it? "

I decide to wash the dishes from earlier while attempting to make eye contact with Chaewon. My hands were starting to shake.

" Can I be your room mate? "

" Huh? "

" Eh? "

The both of us looked at each other in confusion. I never expect those words to come out of Chaewon's mouth. I scratched my head in response to that question.

" It's okay if you don't- "

" You can be my room mate. "

" Really?? "

My face started to get hot. I had to cup my cheeks to cool it down. I turned my face away from Chaewon. She moved and faced into my direction. She started giggling and grabbed my hands.

" You seem nervous. "

" You think so? "

She held my hands for a long time. I had a hard time trying to stare into her direction. My heart would beat even faster if I tried to do that. She eventually let go of my hands.

" Can I borrow your clothes for tonight? "

" Uhm, sure. "

" Thank you so much! "

She then walked into my room without hesitation. Luckily, I cleaned my room before their arrival. I sighed in relief. I also helped to find clothes for Chaewon to wear. I only had oversized clothes. I think she likes it as she could barely conceal her delight. Her smile was contagious enough to make me smile as well.

" You have a lot of nice clothes! "

" Isn't it quite plain? "

" I prefer simple clothes. "

" I see. "

Chaewon had already decided on the clothes she wanted to wear. She decided to occupy my spare room. I went and sat on my couch in the living room. I stared outside my apartment window. The stars looked like scattered moondust in the sky. I took out my phone to take a picture.
