Chapter 7
Talia took in a deep breath and lowered her head onto her knees, her eyes set on the sight beyond the large windows of their living room. She was enjoying the silence, the emptiness of the dim room. Everyone had gone to sleep early, eager to charge up their batteries for the long day that was to come. It wasn’t too late, maybe a bit before midnight. She wasn’t sleepy either, her body refused to succumb to exhaustion even after she’d slipped into her traditional Christmas pajamas and wrapped herself inside her pink blanket. She wasn’t thinking about anything in particular, only random things here and there. There was a reason she wasn’t allowing herself to dive deeper, into more important topics in her life. She didn’t want to ruin the serenity of the moment. She was enjoying the warmth and the scent of the vanilla candles way too much. The silence, however, was suddenly interrupted. The sound of footsteps brought her out of her train of thought, making her turn to look at the door. She had expected one of her parents, but to her surprise Hyung was standing there. He was wearing a pair of gray sweatpants and a tight white shirt. His hair was a mess, clearly because of how many times he’d flipped and turned restlessly while he’d been in search of sleep.
“I didn’t think anyone would be awake,” he said in a whisper, his voice a bit husky.
“I couldn’t sleep,” Talia said as she swung her feet off of the couch, her body now turning to face Hyung completely.
“Me either.” He exhaled as he sat down beside her. “Why can’t you sleep?” He raised a brow.
“No reason,” she shrugged. “What about you?”
“I’m not too used to sleeping early. I usually have a ton of papers to go over.”
“If you want, I’m sure I can find some papers around here,” Talia joked.
“Ha, ha. Very funny,” Hyung said as he tried to hide a smile.
Then there was a moment of silence, they both sat there, watching the shadows. This time, however, the silence wasn’t dripping with awkwardness, it was peaceful.
Then, after a few minutes, Talia turned and asked, “How about some hot chocolate?”
Hyung seemed taken by surprise, it took him a few seconds to finally nod and stand up.
“Do you have marshmallows?”
“Yep. I saw some earlier today.”
Hyung followed her inside the kitchen, their steps were light, their voices low, trying not too make too much noise and wake up her parents. They didn’t even turn on too many lights, just the kitchen one where they planned to prepare their little midnight treat. Talia couldn’t remember the last time she’d had hot chocolate. She usually settled for coffee or tea. But, given the whole atmosphere it only seemed right to indulge in such a sweet treat. They both worked as a team; Hyung prepared the hot chocolates as she retrieved the marshmallows, eager to dip as many as she could into the steaming cups.
“How about we drink
