Peace & Quiet

It. Is. So. Big. Why didn’t I have a spacious apartment like this??

There are windows everywhere and the livingroom has even been decorated with columns. Many rooms and wooden everyhing!

I look around with my mouth wide open, jaw dropped. I can’t see the man who invited me in but I guess he’s the source of the sound from the kitchen.

"Ooh!“ I hear someone saying from my right as I rush to the kitchen’s direction. I stop. It’s the man who came to host a picnic party in my cave, without my permission.
He smirks at me widely without saying anything more and spreads his arms over the couch.
I try to look calm but it still seems weird that they’re living together.

The brown-haired man comes from the kitchen, wearing an apron. I guess he has been cooking something.

Is he the woman in the house…?

The man looks at me calmly with his round eyes and offers his hand.
After hesitating a second, I grab it.
"My name is D.O,” he introduces himself and bows afterwards. I nod akwardly.
"Hello,“ I say it almost like a whisper. I try to avoid too much contact or talking. But he keeps looking at me and holding my hand.
"Oh, yeah… I’m Lea,” I grin a little and then look away.
He lets my hand free and looks at the orange head.
"That’s Sehun,“ he points at, apparently, Sehun.
I nod slightly but Sehun himself stands right up and gives a big bow. That’s a bit exaggerating…

We sit down, I myself a little bit further away from them. I just want this to be over soon. I need to get back to my cave. I should not have come.

"Where are you from?” D.O asks. He must be the only one who understands me.
"Europe,“ I tell him without too many details. He doesn’t need to know.
"Oh. Is it cold in Europe?” he has a kind smile on his face and it drives me crazy. I hope he wouldn’t be so friendly towards me. I really don't like it.
"I guess,“ I answer shortly.

Sehun says something to D.O who looks at me then.
"Do you like kpop?” he asks and I give him a weird look. What is that?
"EXO? Girl’s Generation? Psy?“ he keeps asking like he’s trying to get some reaction from me.
I look at him blankly, blinking my eyes.
"Oh.”
Sehun tells something to him again and D.O looks at him questionably for a moment before he continues.
"Why did you come here?“
I’d like to ask you the same question… And beg you to leave me alone in the attic.
"I just did," I mutter.
"To find a boyfriend…?“
"I’m certainly not here to hit on a Korean man”, I say confidently and give him a weird look.
"Why? Aren’t they all?“ he smiles.

That’s enough questions for today. Too much questions.

I get up and walk out of the gay house without looking back.
There’s something shimmering on the floor near the stairs.
No way… The key was here all the time. I had just dropped it, propably when I dropped the food bags.
Phew. My lovely cave!
