Chapter 4
I knocked the door on the fifth floor and waited for a reply. Still garnished in the previous hanbok and jeogori from before, I waited outside for the reply of Peter. I bit the inside of my lip—I still didn't feel like looking face to face with Peter. But surely, I had grown more accustomed to him than before. There will be times I can look in his eyes, though that might only be when I'm most calm. Still, it's better than nothing, right? "Peter…?" I called, knocking the door once again. He wasn't answering, and I began to feel worried that he might have fallen asleep or gone ahead without me.
"Whoa!" a cry was heard inside and then the door opened. "S-Sorry," apologized the frantic boy in front of me. My face brightened: I have never seen Peter without his hat. He noticed and looked at his body, "What? Is something wrong with me…?" He then noticed that he was not wearing his hat. With a hand on his head, he looked into my eyes, "Oh, yeah. Sorry. I don't sleep with my hat on, so I took it on to take a nap. Come in if you want. I promise I won't take long."
My feet led me inside and my hand automatically shut the door in front of me. The room smelled more of Peter than it had before, and I felt my stomach cringe. I couldn't turn around as my forehead leaned against he cool wood of the door. Biting my bottom lip, I wanted to tell him that I didn't want him to put his hat back on. But that was a selfish request, isn't it? I should not be rude and should just follow along with his way.
"Ready," he said, and I turned around to see him walking towards the door. I opened it and he locked it with his key. He grabbed my hand and said, "Let's go?" The smile on his face was all to keep me quiet and nod my steaming head. He led me into the elevator which began to drop down the floors. I was worried for a second about the nations that would come in the elevator: maybe Peter didn't want our relationship to be known yet, or maybe he didn't want the older nations to make fun of him. With regret, I instantly hid our linked hands behind my puffy hanbok. My face flushed and I couldn't bear what expression he had on his face. Soon, we would have reached the fourth floor—and then two more floors left.
I don't know if he knew what I was thinking or not, but my plan didn't work. He yanked the linked hands back into sight as the elevator landed on the fourth floor. Nations poured in and squished us into the far back. They were too busy talking about the meeting—well, most—to notice us unlike a few others who had time to stare and whisper. I wanted to hide my face and lowered my gaze, my bangs trying as best as it can to shadow my eyes from sight.
By the second floor, my eyes looked in it's corner and I saw Peter holding up his head straight and tall. Maybe, just maybe, he really did like me and didn't care about telling the world. I lifted my head slightly and didn't try to look grim about it. My face was still bright pink, but nothing worse. When the elevator landed on the first floor and it began to empty, I yanked Peter's hand in mine and we started racing to the dining grounds.
We sat with England and Gong Dou and claimed seats before sharing our likes and dislikes of food. When England found out that we had been separated, he sighed and scattered across the table disappointed. The three of us laughed and then he walked off to talk to America and France. Gong Dou winked at me before leaving to talk to Yao and Nihon as well. Peter and I then went our separate ways to get different dishes before returning and eating with little conversation. But we shared our peaces and we didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
When we left to go back, he kissed me on the forehead again and said goodnight. As I walked into the room Gong Dou and I shared, I fell onto my bed in a daze. Today was the best day ever in my life. And I love Peter with all my heart.
