I saw him exiting the house earlier. Maybe he's just hiding? Then next thing that would happen is him giving me yet another heart attack!? Not really a heart attack but it was close!

It could have really killed me, but thank goodness I have a strong heart.

Damn this. It will really make my head ache if I'll fail to apologize to him. My conscience wouldn't allow me to rest in peace if this would go wrong!

I decided to go inside the room to brush my teeth first. I even forgot the most important thing to do just because I was searching for him. 

Searching for someone who doesn't want to be found. How ironic!

I went into the room and took my toothbrush that was in the paper bag. I walked towards the comfort room and opened the door but it won't open!

Why is it locked? 

I twisted it very hard and tried pulling it but it won't budge. Did he lock it? 

Why?? Is it because I was being a very bad girl earlier? Because he disliked the way I behaved earlier? Was that it? But...but isn't that a very childish thing to do? Locking up some doors so that I couldn't use them? This is his way of having revenge?

That's...I find it cute.

I stopped turning the knob of the door but to my surprise, I was pulled right in. Good gracious! 

I closed my eyes, waiting for my face to hit the hardwood floor but it didn't. I ran my hands on what was in front of me and touched something hard and smooth.

Omg, is this...?

I opened my eyes and stepped back, my eyes almost ripping out of its sockets as I stare at the place where my hands touched.

Holy crap. 

I just touched his abs! 8 packs! And what's worse is that he is wearing nothing. Only a small and a not-so-thin cloth covering his lower body. 

One hell of a body to die for. 

I quickly mouthed him 'sorry' and closed the door but it's stuck! I got nervous when I couldn't close it so I looked down and saw his damn cloth stuck at the door!

Bullshit! Now, he is goddamn naked behind this entryway! 

I quickly turned away, facing the bed as I shouted at him a sincere 'sorry!' again. 

I did not move a muscle and stayed there until he's done fixing the mess I just made. The door behind me opened, causing a shrieking sound. 

Gosh, what will he do to me? Would he punch me in the face? Shout at me? Oh please, I hope he won't.

I flinched when he suddenly tapped my right shoulder. Shit, is this it? Will he punch me so hard in the face? Yell at me? Throw me out of the win—?

"Move." Oh my god. He isn't going to do something to me?

I moved aside and lowered my head at him, apologizing again and again. Glad that he isn't planning to do those things to me.

I slightly glanced above and saw a big bulge behind his towel. Holy shit! That's so big! 

Maybe that got stuck at the door? Heck! How should I apologize to him? Maybe he is in great pain right now! How careless of you, Kira!

But what if, it's really his...?

I stood up and quickly went inside the comfort room, locking myself inside.

That was embarrassing! It's becoming worse and I don't know how I should act in front of him.

Maybe I should go outside later when he's not in the room.

I'm still inside the bathroom for God knows how long. I took a deep breath and opened the door a bit.

I peeked and saw him sitting on his...mini office?

Wait, there's a mini office in front of his giant windows? I only notice it now.

I got out and took big steps towards the bed. I glanced at him and he's looking at me with confusion written in his eyes. I ignored him and sat on the edge of the bed while whistling as if nothing happened earlier.

I peeked at him again and his attention is now at the papers on his hand. Even though it's his day-off for three weeks, he's still busy managing his business.

He is hardworking.

I stood up from my seat and approached him. I will try to talk to him in case he still hates me. "Heeey?"

"." He didn't answer me. He's still focused on the things he is doing right now. 

"Do you need any help?" I asked kindly. It worked this time since he looked my way. I avoided his gaze and continued babbling. "I know you are mad at me so I wanna make it up to you. If you want me to help you with whatever you are doing or clean something, I'll help you with it."

He still stayed silent so I decided to step back and turn around, reaching up for the door to leave when he spoke. 

"Wait." I turned around to look at him and asked. "What is it?"

"My big sister said that you know how to bake?" He asked a bit shyly, averting his gaze from me. 

Omg! He is so cute! He is like a baby, too reticent on asking food from a stranger. 

I grinned at him and happily said, "of course! I know how to bake and I love to bake! Why'd you ask?" I teased him. I want to hear him say those words badly.

"Bake..." He whispered. His cheeks blushed a bit for a moment but it was replaced by his former expression.

"I can't hear you. Can you say it again?" I smirked at him, placing my hand over my ear as I pretended to be a deaf person.

He coughed and looked at me with his begging eyes. "B-bake me some." I chuckled at him.

He's darn cute! I really want to pinch his cheeks right now but I don't want to ruin this moment. "Magic word?" I teased him again. He shot me a death glare and made a 'tch' sound but he couldn't do anything and said those words in a small voice.

"Please."
