Hate That Monsta LXVER (ENGLISH VERSION)

Chapter 29

Only 5 more days before my audition. I practiced with Johheon at the dormitory since there was no one to disturb us. I felt a little sore to keep him here when he could visit his family, but he promised me that for three days it wasn't worth it. Hmm...

I was going to sleep here tonight. I preferred to have my own bed, I didn't want to hurry even if I had already slept with him. He respected my choice, yet I knew that deep down he expected it. I too somehow, expected that. I told myself that the more we wait, the more we will appreciate it when the time comes.

I found him weird today. He was agitated and seemed to pay attention to every single move he makes. He thought long everytime before he spoke, but gave me a lot of attention. I liked receiving that much of attention from him, because even if we were dating, he still tends to stay quite far from me; especially in public. Maybe he thought it would help me to calm down until the big day.

I wanted to cook something good for him to relaxe a little. I could see he was bothered.

I looked at what was in the fridge, well nothing. I would have to go to the grocery store I thought.

Me (raising my voice because we were not in the same room): Jooheon, I'll go for a ride to the grocery store. I can't believe you guys can make it with ramen only.

I put my shoes and went out. Turning the corner leading to the elevator, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

Jooheon: These will be my food reserves, you thought you could do it without me?

I (sarcastically): Oh sorry.

I laughed softly and he planted a kiss on my cheek. He had a satisfied look and we walked to the market on the other side of the street.

Jooheon enjoyed to put any kind of food in the cart.

Me: Hey, but wait. How much will all this cost me?

Immediately, he took several things and set them back in their place.

Me: Jooheon, wait, what...

He was too far away to hear me. I didn't want him to take it badly. He could sometimes be so susceptible.

He dragged the bags into the apartment and helped me to put everything at their place. He proposed himself to make dinner, but I stopped him right away, telling him that tonight it was me who was cooking.

I set to my task while Jooheon listened again to the recording I made of the performance that I had to show at the audition to see if there was nothing more to improve.

*Knock Knock*

Me: Go open, I can't go.

Jooheon: Who could that be?

Me: How could I know? Open and you'll know.

My tone of voice seemed exasperated and Jooheon had noticed very well, though I wasn't at all. Except that he didn't know. He gave me a look that asked for forgiveness and opened.

Jooheon: Minhyuk?? What are you doing here? There are still two days off left.

Minhyuk: Yeah, I decided to leave early. Oh, it smells good here. Is it Ha Neul who's cooking?

Jooheon: Yes...

Minhyuk: Great, I'm starving.

Minhyuk came to see me in the kitchen to greet me.

Me: From what I see, I did well to make a little more.

He laughed and sat at the table.
