Three (1/1)

The doorbell rang as soon as I got out of the shower. Good timing? I think so.I quickly glanced at the clock on the wall before getting to the door way. It’s already midnight.I didn’t bother peeking through the hole to see who it was; I knew it could only be one person.Kyungsoo held up a few large bags and flashed a smile before coming in.“I bought you some instant foods so if I’m not as lucky as today and can’t find you, you can always come home and eat.”He walked straight into the kitchen and set them on the counter. I followed and watched as he busily filled the empty fridge and drawers. I’ll admit that I blanked out for a second there.“I know that it’s not the healthiest option but at least it’s something to fill you up.” He placed the last container of kimchi in. “Let me know when you run out, I’ll go buy some more. Oh! Should I go buy you another blanket as well? I feel like the one that I had bought you isn’t warm enough.”I didn’t respond. I simply stared at this guy who had just finished an eight hour shift at the hospital and yet he still specifically made a trip to get me food. He was so excited that he even forgot about the backpack on his shoulders before he started unpacking everything.If you’d ask me I would say that I’ve never been this grateful of someone as I am of Kyungsoo. But it seemed like the more he did for me, the bigger the burden I had to pay him back.I’ve really become a friend that’s only taking and not giving.“Kyungsoo-ah… jinja… jinja… thank you for everything you’ve done.... I promise that one day I’ll…”“I know.” He gave me that assuring look of his. It’s telling me: don’t worry Im Seulgi, everything will be okay.I couldn’t help but to smile. “No luck today either?” Kyungsoo and I sat down at the small dining table with a glass of hot instant coffee in each of our hands.“Is it that obvious?”He smiled, “just a little.”“Tomorrow will be another long day… You have work right? What time?” I took a sip.He looked at the clock that was now showing five till one, “in a couple hours.”I burnt my tongue. “Mwoh!? What are you still doing here?!” I got on my feet, “get out of here and go home. Look at your dark circles!”He chuckled, “it’s okay, I’m used to it already.”Before I got to continue my lecturing, his phone that was on the table suddenly started ringing.He looked at the display and quickly glanced at me.He didn’t even have to tell me; I knew exactly who it was by seeing that awkward face of his.I guess I haven’t completely cut ties with ‘them’ because Nam Hanjoo, unfortunately, still had Kyungsoo in her
