I felt like being carried by someone and as soon as I opened my eyes, I was placed on my bed. I was shocked to see the person in front of me. It was that jerk, Yoongi. My head is throbbing and I feel like someone is hitting right through it.
"Ahh", I yelped in pain. It was the most unbearable pain until now. I could see him frantically searching for something. He was pushing things and finally stopped when he found the medicine box. He reached out to me and pulled me up making me rest on my back.
My vision wasn't clear but I could see what is around me. He brought a glass of water and I pointed at the red-colored tablets. He immediately picked the tablet and put it in my mouth. He made me drink the water and I just smiled not even having the energy to speak.
"Just Sleep", I could hear his voice and even before I could think of anything, I was blacked out.

As the sun rays fell on my face, I woke up and stretched my arms. The desk in front of me looked like a mess. And then I realized, I fell unconscious the day before. I remember walking to the home and suddenly, I felt a sharp hit of pain in my head.
I remember Yoongi helping me. I remember him placing me on the bed and feeding me the medicines. I never thought he has this side in him. I went to the kitchen as my stomach is growling in hunger. Another shock, he is cooking.
"You were not feeling well. So, I thought of making breakfast for the landlady", he spoke with a gummy smile. For a second, I doubt if he is having a multiple identity disorder.
He served the omelettes and had one for himself. I still wonder is he is the same guy who called me Sun Bear. But what does that even mean?
"You look like a cat you know?", I told him straight on his face and he stopped eating.
"I mean you resemble cat", I chuckled at my own words and he shot a glare at me. I continued eating without speaking another word.
"And you are such a Sun Bear", he scoffed and I looked at him with a displeasing gaze. Why is he calling me a Bear? I don't even look like that.
"What did you even call me?", I raised my brows and he stayed calm, as if he heard nothing.
"Yah Lil Meow Meow", I called him and he choke on his food.
"What the hell?", he muttered and I giggled, proud that I am able to irritate him.
"What did you just call me?", he asked with a stern voice and I am no less. I am not going to be scared of this jerk.
"You called me Sun Bear, I don't think it will be nice if I don't give you a name, Lil Meow Meow", I stuck out my tongue and he shook his head in disbelief. He then yawned. And then I observed his face. It was so pale, as if he didn't sleep the whole night. Is he not well? Or did he stay up all night?
"I'll wash the plates", I grabbed the plate from him.
"You are not well", he grabbed his plate back.
"I am fine now. Look at me", I opened my arms and smiled wide open but he just continued washing, and even took the plate from my hand. Such a stubborn cat, I sighed to myself.
"Why don't you go to the hospital? You were literally falling down and didn't even have the strength to speak", he mouthed and I wondered if he was being concerned.
"No, it's okay. The pain killers are enough", I don't want to tell him that I don't have money. He isn't much close for me to open up my problems.
"Oh okay", he uttered and was about to go to his room.
"Yah Little meow meow",I called him and he rolled his eyes giving an expression which looked like 'What do you want now?'
"Thank you for yesterday", I thanked him and he just pressed his lips into a thin line. Is he trying to suppress his smile?
"It's just because you are the owner", he stuttered and barged into his room. I looked at him and smiled to myself. He is not as bad as what I thought.
I went back to my room and started organizing the things back to their positions. As I was settling the things, I searched for the brooch. I searched everywhere and found no trace of it. I frantically searched every place and tears escaped my eyes not finding it.
That was a memory of my mother. I preserved it like a diamond. I don't want to lose it. How can I be so careless? It reminded me of her. Why did I even lose it? I kept crying holding my head and crashed on my knees on the floor.
"I miss you so much Eomma"

It became afternoon and I didn't feel like eating anything. I was still sitting in the same position. And the door creaked open and I saw looking at me. His expression was unreadable and he immediately ran to me.
"Sun Bear, what is this? Are you okay?", he asked me and I couldn't control my tears. I cried out loud and held his shirt. I want my mom back, I miss her so much. Why should it always happen to me? Why me? Can't I have a normal life like others? Why does everyone leave me?
"What happened? Why are you crying?", he looked at me and I couldn't think of anything else except my mom. Why am I becoming weak like this? I cried even more and he cupped my face.
"Look at me Jin Ae", he called me with my name and I just looked at him without thinking about anything else. I felt so weak and depressing now. I feel ashamed of myself for being like this.
"What happened?", he asked in stern voice and I pointed him the table.
"I lost my brooch", I blurted and cried even more.
"Why are you crying for that? You can buy another one", he stated and I shot a glare at him. I got so mad at him. How can I get another brooch which is owned by mom who is no more?
"Buy, my foot! That was gifted by my mom and it is so close to my heart. Where will I get another one? Tell me where will I get another one when my mom is no more", I yelled at him and sobbed out loud. And his next action shocked the hell out of me.
He hugged me and I was still processing it. Nevertheless, I sobbed on his hold and he kept brushing my hairs. We stayed like that for a minute and he pulled out.
"I will search for it okay?", he spoke and I just nodded. I realised I just overdid it in front of him. I felt so embarrassed to fall weak in front of him, a tenant who will just stay for two weeks. I stayed silent and didn't speak anymore.
"Go and fresh up. I am ordering the lunch", he stated.
"It's okay. You don't need to", I spoke but he just closed the door not giving any heed to my words. What just happened? I never thought he would react like that, he let me cry in his arms and even told that he would search it for me.
Did I really misunderstand him?
I washed my face which looked puffed and pale. I sighed thinking about how broken I was without Eomma. It's really paining a lot, both my heart and the head. She really left a void in my heart which could never be filled again. I miss her embrace, her care and her pamper. I miss her everything.
I wiped the lone tear which escaped my eye and walked to the living room.
"Will Jajjangmyeon be okay for you?", he asked placing the bowls on the table and I simply nodded. Anything will be okay as long as it is food. I opened the bowl and thanked him for being courteous. He simple bowed and slurped down his noodles.
We had our lunch in silence and I looked at the watch. I need to go to the café now. I immediately got and dressed myself. I looked at the time and sighed in relief as there is still time. As I was about to step outside, Yoongi called.
"Sun Bear", I scrunched my nose at the nickname and raised my brows.
"Which colour is the brooch?", he asked
"Gold", I answered and he simply nodded. Is he really going to search for it? But why does he have to? I am just his landlady and he need not worry about it. Did he really get affected at my worse state? I shook my head shrugging away those thoughts.
I reached the café and the boss greeted me with a wide smile. I really love the hospitality over here. The work load isn't much and the pay is decent.
"Are you okay? You look tired", the boss asked scanning my face and I shook my head in negation.
"I am fine sir", I spoke and he kept staring me. I felt uncomfortable as he did that.
"Looks like you have cried. Is everything alright?", he asked looking at me with a concerning gaze.
"I am perfectly fine sir.", I spoke and excused myself from him, starting my work. All my thoughts were trailing around my recent counter with that lil meow meow. He acts like a cold and grumpy cat, but to be honest, he is really nice. I wonder why shows that duality.
My thoughts were disturbed by the customers and I heeded to their service. Work could actually distract us from all the depressing thoughts. Though the memories of my mom are swirling in my head, every time the customer calls, I forget about that and rush to them.
I finally completed my shift and the boss bid me a bye with his sugary smile not before asking me if everything is alright. Why are people getting concerned about me? Do I look so pathetic?
I rushed to the company for cleaning. Though the duration is really less, the work is really heavy. I need to clean all the corridors and brush the dust off the fans and furniture. I always wonder how my spine is still fine after the work I do.
But what makes me wonder more is the headaches I have been getting recently. I agree that I am over working but my head is aching, leaving me in bewilderment. Is something wrong with my mind and body mechanism?
I received the pay and rushed to the convenience store.
"Aigoo, this girl is always late", the manager smacked my head lightly and I grinned sheepishly.
I started organizing the new stock and was startled when I received a smack on my head.
"Where the hell are you zoning out?", as the manager spoke, I looked at the boxes I have arranged. I have arranged the cakes in the cookies section and bit my tongue in embarrassment. I apologised and settled all the things properly.
I got back to my counter and started billing the products the customer brought. A minor even got a fake id and tried to buy the alcohol. It was one ten minute argument that he finally gave in and admitted that he was a minor.
My head started aching and this time I have the pain killers with me this time.
"You can go now", the manager spoke and I looked at him confused.
"You can go early today but just today. And go before I change my mind", he spoke and I immediately shook his hand in gratitude. Pulling my bag, I walked out of the store and walked to the house.
And as I was walking towards the door, I saw someone near the tree smoking. As I looked at the short figure clearly, it is him.
Lil Meow Meow

Here's Yoongi looking at you lovingly
