Just A Few Numbers Away

38

When Aen woke up, she looked around and was confused for a bit until she realized that she was still in Yoongi's apartment and in the meantime will be staying there for a few days.

She somehow really needs to get used to it.

She then sits up and suddenly hears a sizzling sound coming from the mini-kitchen.

"Yoongi?"

Yoongi hears her and stops what he's doing just to look at her.

"Oh. Was I... too noisy? Did I wake you up?"

Aen shakes her head.

"No. The smell of food woke me up."

Yoongi chuckled.

"I see."

She groggily walks to him and then sits comfortably on the counter.

"What's on the menu chef?"

"Hangover soup for you and... uhh, bacon and eggs for me.

"No fair."

And Yoongi chuckled again.

"No headache?"

"None."

"Still, you should drink this... just in case."

And he gave Aen a hangover drink.

"Fine. But I want to eat some bacon."

"You can have it after you finish the soup."

"Okay."

Shit. She really isn't used to someone taking good care of her like this. It was always the other way around.

Then she suddenly feels anxious. Should she need to get used to this?

"What's wrong?"

Yoongi asked her when he noticed that she was frowning.

"I..."

She looked him in the eyes.

"I'm scared."

Aen chuckled bitterly.

"Aen-nah?"

Yoongi suddenly felt worried.

"It's... It's scary Yoon. About... About everything that's happening with us... especially right now. I feel like... this is just... a fleeting dream."

"What?"

"And then.... one day, everything would suddenly end... and I... I don't think my heart could take that."

Tears slowly fell from her eyes.

"Aen-nah..."

"So tell me... This isn't a dream right?"

And Yoongi hugs her.

"It's not."

And she clutches onto him as if her life depends on it.

"I'm real."

He gently strokes her hair.

"I'm here with you right now and I'm never going to leave. I told you before, I'm really stubborn so you'll have a hard time getting rid of someone like me."

And he kisses the top of her head.

"So you don't need to be afraid anymore."
