Take The Hint

I finished off the food Joonwoo cooked and washed the dishes. Mello took a nap so I decided to check out my bedroom. This bedroom is too much. I'm afraid that I'm going to break something. And I bet these sheets costed more than my rent.

The bed is soft, huge, enough for three adults. I lay there for a couple of minutes, staring up at the ceiling.

There's a lot going on in my mind.

Well, mostly because of that annoying alpha.

His actions are weird. It's so uncomfortable. Maybe because we never had a normal conversation. We're always bickering. He would show off, being pompous. And I would yell at him.

But today we ate food together. And he...

Argh, the image of his face won't disappear from my head!

𝘋𝘪𝘯𝘨!

I sluggishly pulled my phone out and trying to see who messaged me.

I quickly changed my position to sit when I saw the message.

[ 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘠���𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯, 𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘴 ]

"Why this little-" I smiled menacingly. I quickly type my reply.

[ 𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺, ]

Then I sent it. This is embarrassing.

He remembered my bad habit of laying down after eating food. I kept getting heartburn during middle school and high school. He would mock me whenever I fell asleep after eating my lunch.

[ 𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺. 𝘐𝘧 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 𝘈𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘐 𝘢 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥? ]

"..."

That's, true. Not even my friends reminded me of my bad habit.

[ 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘵𝘩𝘹. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴? 𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘬? ]

It was a sarcastic text. I blinked when I saw he immediately read it.

[ 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩. 𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘴𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 ]

"..."

This is not the reply I expected from him. I expect him to reply something like "Ew" or something. How should I reply to this? I puckered my lips, frowning a little as I write down my reply.

[ 𝘯𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘺 ]

I locked my phone after I sent that message. I sighed and glanced toward the mirror that's plastered on the wardrobe.

I widened my eyes when I saw my state.

Why... why is my face bright red?! It's completely flushed.

I put my hands on my cheeks. They're warm.

Am I— blushing?

Me?! because of him!?

"AAARGH!"

I got shivers down my spine. I quickly get up from the bed while rubbing my arms. I shivered again.

Why am I blushing?! Stop it!

I squished my own cheeks to make the blush go away. Slowly the hint of blush under my eyes disappeared. I sighed in relief.

I'm going to forget that ever happened.

After taking a shower, I saw my phone is flashing. Someone sent me a message. Is it Joonwoo? My cheeks got warmer as I grabbed my phone.

But the warmth on my face and body drained completely when I saw who's actually texted me.
