I woke up when I heard my phone ringing - someone's calling me. Still in a sleepy state, I answered the call without looking at the caller id.

"Good morning. I'm outside your apartment. I brought food." said a deep husky voice, "Come out now, will you?"

My eyes owled up when I realized who it was. To make sure, I checked who the caller was; it was really Kim Taehyung.

I quickly got up and fixed my hair in a messy but presentable bun. I hastily brushed my teeth and sprayed perfume before I wore my slippers and got out of my unit.

Checking my reflection from the elevator mirror, I realized I'm still wearing my Tata pajamas.

"Aish!" I muttered. Embarrassing.

I let my eyes wander around the lobby yet I didn't see Taehyung anywhere.

Does he really expect me to go outside with me wearing just my pajamas and with a disheveled hair?

I dialled his number and called him, to which he answered almost instantly. "Get inside the lobby."

"But I want you to pick me up here outside.." he whined like a kid.

"Taehyung" I demanded. "I just woke up so get in here before I make you go back to where you came from."

He whined from the other line. "Call me by my nickname first."

"Taehyung, I swear-"

"Pleaseeee" he pleaded, and I could imagine that he's already pouting.

"Fine. Taetae, just come inside. I'm here near the elevator from the left side of the lobby." I rolled my eyes, smiling at how cute he's being.

"Coming, Chichi!" he replied with enthusiasm

Within seconds, I found him walking towards me, his boxy smile showing while he's holding a plastic... full of ingredients?

"What's with all these?" I asked him, pointing at the plastic he's holding.

He held it up, "I'm cooking breakfast."

I raised an eyebrow. "You know how to cook now?"

"I learned one when we're in States." he said, pouting.

We went inside my unit and I toured him in my kitchen so he knows where to get what he needed to use in cooking.

"I'll take a bath first." I told him, getting ready to leave him in my kitchen.

"Can I come?"

I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at him in disbelief. "Taehyung!"

He giggled. "I'm joking. Now, shoo!"

I gave him a once-over. He was wearing something semi-formal for today; a plain white shirt under a black blazer, black pants, and a black Gucci shoes, which seemed like it's going to break soon because of how he wore it.

When I saw him gesture his hands for me to go, I smiled at him and went to the bathroom inside my bedroom.

Feeling fresh and clean, I came out of my room wearing black pants, white shirt, and a black blazer; I wanted us to match outfits for today even when no one would notice it other than us.

"Waah, Chichi!" Taehyung exclaimed when I met him in the dining area. He looked at me from head to toe with an amused smile. "You matched outfits with me!"

"I did?" I tried to sound naive. "I just found these first inside my closet."

Taehyung walked towards me and hugged me from behind, his chin resting on my head since he's that tall. "I missed us."
