HIT BY A PIECE of PAPER - Chapter 3

-AOGA HC-

I was still mad. Of course, who wouldn't get mad when people hide secrets from you? The thought about leaving me hanging, without any clue what on Earth they are keeping from me, is a huge question mark in my mind. I went out of my room and searched my mom. I ran to the kitchen but only to find a perfect set of breakfast in the table and small note. I picked it up then read.

'I'll be gone for a month, sweetie. I just have to patch some things up. I love you!

P.S: Forget about what happened a while ago, it was just a joke. I told Koko to take good care of you. He's a son of one of my colleagues. Don't worry, he doesn't bite. Sorry, baby. XD'

"What?!" I suddenly screamed. "It was only a joke?! That's not even funny! Arrgh! I'll definitely get mad at you, mom!" I blurted out with my fists up in the air. Because of too much irritation, I sat down on the dining chair and gobbled up the food in the table. Usually, stress gives me too much appetite. Such an appetizer.

I was about to finish the last spoon of rice when a silhouette flashed beside me. Horrified, I took a fork and pointed at that image, only to find the very same guy I never wanted to see. Koko.

"Hi." He said waving at me. "I hope you won't mind if I'd stay here with you for quite some time."

I slumped back eating. "Do I still have any other choice?" I murmured.

"You actually don't." He answered, still sticking his smile at me. "I'm sorry but I'm not talking to you." I walked to the refrigerator and grabbed a pitcher of milk. Without looking at him, I sat back and poured it onto a glass.

He's staring at me. I could feel it even without looking at him. It's proven by science and psychology. Instinct. I just continued to whatever I was doing really fast so that I could go back to my room and hide from him for the rest of his stay.

"You just can't hide from me." He said. I looked at him with wide eyes. "How the heck..? Can you read minds?!" I shrieked. How could he possibly know what I was thinking? Wondering too hard, I suddenly heard him chuckle.

"It's obvious. You've been eating quicker than earlier before I formally showed myself to you. Don't worry. I'm just here to guard you."

I rolled my eyes and looked at him with pure disgust. "Excuse me? Do I look handicapped? And for your information, look at yourself. As if you can be a bodyguard. You're so thin and I bet I can even win over a fight with you. Loser!" I placed my fingers forming an L shape onto my forehead. It's a sign for Losers!

He just smiled then stood up. "You call this, thin?" He curled up his arms showing his biceps. Actually, he's not that thin, but because I was too annoyed having him here, it's best to insult him. "Yes, you're thin." I stoically muttered while munching a french toast.

"Really?" He was laughing at me. "How about this?" He rolled up his shirt revealing a nice perfectly carved abs. I almost choked upon surprise. Embarrassed, I looked away, took my plate and throw it onto the dishwasher.

"It's pleasant to meet you. I have to go to my room now. Bye." I started walking with faster pace. I couldn't be with him for a long time. When I felt him just right behind me, I totally ran away. I might become a pervert if I stayed there. The thought of it gave me already chills and thankfully, I finally reached my room, locked it and threw myself on the bed. "No way!" I screamed, burying my face into a pillow.
