secret base and handmade dinner
After that, everything went black.
The last thing I saw a bag covering my head and being carried by a bulky man. Tim was nowhere to be found.
->> time skip brought to you by day6 <<-
I woke up in a room with simple furnitures in it. I sat up, letting my eyes adjust to the colour and lightning. Slightly tilted my head side to side to lessen the dizzy feeling in my mind. Feeling weird, and in wonder, why am I here? What is this place? Where's Tim?
This place is scary, I wanna go back.
There's a clanking noise at the front making me stop in my tracks. Being cautiously, I tip-toed my way to the living that's just around the corner and see a silhouetted figure. I hide myself using the wall beside me,letting half of my body showing. Did I mention that it's pretty dark in here? I bet it's night time.
I let my eyes focus on that boy. Hmmm. That hair, that broad shoulders and that height. A light bulb appeared on my head with slight ding, ha funny.
"Tim?" I said,softly yet questionably tired,I rubbed my eye so it looked like I didn't spy on him or being creepy for the pass few minutes.
The volume I talked wasn't pretty audible but since it's really quiet in here, he heard it. Like a wolf's ear twitched when it heard a twig snapped. He turn around with a surprised face then went back to whatever he's doing, probably making food for me to eat hopefully.
"oh, you're up already. you're a heavy sleeper eh?" He said, teasingly. I walked by the isle to see he's chopping potatoes in cubes. I rolled my eyes in annoyance and pissed.
"shut up, the hit was pretty hard so I just got knocked out okay." That made me realise something. How does he know? "wait- how'd you know?"
He chuckled,cutely. "Words spread around honey~" Such motherly tone. uwu I stan. lol okay. My mouth made an O shaped.
For a moment there, my heart was making me feel things. That tone, made something tingling inside of me. I don't know what but I like it. I'll look forward for that more often.
" anyway, where am I? why am I in your room? and wjo the heck changed my outfit?!" I exclaimed in panic,looking down to my nightwear to something what a married couple would wear. Making my cheeks red.
He chuckled again, how cute! "You just realised that now? it's not me though, don't worry. They changed it for you. women workers." He poured in the potatoes inside a pot that's boiling with soup and the recent ingredients he's been making.
I stared at him dumbfounded and let out a hmph. I went back to the previous room im in to search for a cardigan. and im glad I found one. I slide it on and walk to the kitchen, taking a tool to stir up the soup.
"So we're having soup for dinner? Chicken soup?" I said, excitedly. I love soup! especially when im sick or haven't been eating something soupy in a while. The smell is just so good and tasty. I took a sip from the spoon I found beside Tim.
He didn't mind if I stood mext to him wearing something like this. Im quite uncomfortable with the nightwear but with Tim, I felt with ease. It's like, I've been accepted just the way I am. No need to worry anymore.
I took round of soup for the 2nd time amd blow it gently. Putting my hand at the bottom of the spoon so it won't dripped on the floor. "Here, try it." He stopped cutting some vegetables and took a sip, nodded his head right after as in proud.
"It needs a little bit of salt though. not much but a bit." He stated, calmly.
"your mom's recipe?" He nodded. "It's a good one, quite similar to mine actually. it even tastes almost the same!"
Then there's that dead uncomfortable silence roaming in the air above us. "Where am I? Why am I here? Where were you?" I asked in one shot,playing with the ends of my nightwear.
Tim turned off the fire on the stove and let the soup cooled off by itself. He sits at the kitchen across from me. "That's my mentor,his name is Jeffrey Wilson. For short, we call him Jeff or Jeff Wilson. You're at his secret base where you're gonna be trained for some reasons. They'd test you for some superpower stuff and I guess that's why they took you in." he sighed.
Something's not right. I see a lot of red flags there." You told them didn't you? " I asked, offended by him. He had one job and this is what/how he repay me?
" I didn't, they did. They have eyes everywhere."
"even in here?!" I exclaimed in panic. Is this dude for real?! Give us some privacy, damn.
"Depends."
My mouth gaped open like a fish. I scoffed, "Can't he even respect someone's privacy?"
He went back to the kitchen to set the table,giving me a bowl of the soup and rice. "It's my mentor we're talking about here, and since im the closest of him, he'd watch me sometimes. I just have to get used to it."
I felt pitiful for him. "How long have you been like this?"
"Years. I lost count. but years." He stared at me in the eye. You can tell that this is serious and I didn't feel anyone listening to our conversation. Which is a good thing. "Let's eat okay?"
I sighed in pity and concern,I start to dig in my food. Moaned slightly by rhe delicious taste in my mouth.
Tim sends me a heartwarming smile, "You like it?"
I covered my mouth politely with my hand and say, "very." and send him back a sweet smile. He chuckled then nodded.
I don't know how he can keep quiet like this. Living temporarily in a secret base when there's no privacy sometimes can make you have trust issues and go insane ya know.
But that's for another day to talk about. Right now, we're just gonna enjoy the night and eat his hand-made dinner or breakfast since it's already 2am plus.
Until an alarm interrupted us.
