Chapter 100: I missed that feeling of sleeping late and waking up several hours later

Chapter 100: I missed that feeling of sleeping late and waking up several hours later (Yayyyyy, we finally got to the hundredth Chapter. Thank you for coming this far and motivating me to type so much daily. To commemorate this milestone, I’ll ’shamelessly’ ask my dear readers to send me gifts. Ahem, I’m shameless, I know. But I’m using Jo-Pil’s logic here. It’s a give and take. Just joking, lol. Thank you for your support. Just unlocking Chapters already does so much for me, so thanks a lot. Oh, right. I’ll finally be introducing the fourth Alpha since we’ve gotten this far, and there’s been no appearance of him.) Min-Cheol placed me on the seat right next to his and sat down as well. My nose was hit with the fresh and delicious aroma of the dishes in front of me. It looked like we were having lamb. That tender and juicy meat. My mouth was already salivating just looking at it. "Here, Hyung, I’ll fill your plate," Min-Cheol said while the others sat down. Ki-hoon sat on my other side, and Jin-Yeok sat opposite me just so he could watch me closely while we ate. It was starting to feel cumbersome, as they were watching my every move, but that feeling disappeared as soon as Min-Cheol placed my plate filled with rice, meat, as well as veggies in front of me. I could not hide my hunger anymore and dug in. This was because I hadn’t eaten for so long. This body needed it. I definitely needed it. I also needed to have a proper sleep too. I might’ve been unconscious for two weeks, but in the other world, I was so sleepy deprived because of how the world kept fighting me to the point I gave up on sleeping for more than one hour a day. I missed that feeling of sleeping late and waking up several hours later. I ate as much as I could, intending to have a good sleep as soon as I was done. I was so busy eating that I failed to notice the three of them weren’t eating at all and were simply watching me stuff my face. By the time I raised my head and noticed it, they smiled at me, as if I had put on a satisfactory show for them. "I was going to tell you to eat slowly, but the words escaped me," Ki-hoon said as he picked up a napkin to clean my mouth that had a bit of sauce smeared around. "Hyung looked so happy eating that I couldn’t even bring myself to look away," "Watching you eat makes me feel full already," Jin-Yeok said, and I swallowed. What the heck were they talking about? This was dinner time, not the time to be love-struck teens. Well, if they weren’t going to eat, then more for me. Jin-Yeok passed the bowl from his end, and Min-Cheol took it from him, using the claw spoon to pick up several pieces of sliced beef and put them in my bowl. I thought we were only having lamb, but there was beef as well. I can’t believe these guys were feasting while I was unconscious. But I couldn’t exactly call it feasting since there wasn’t a lot of food. Was that why they weren’t eating? They wanted me to eat to my fill without interruptions, so they decided to watch me eat rather than take their own servings. I watched Jin-Yeok signal the maid toward him and then said to her, "Ask the chef to bring out the rest," Ah, now I was confused. So they were feasting. But just didn’t have the rest of the food on the table. Why, though? I don’t remember any of them being heavy eaters. In fact, they only ate a third of the food I ate, so why did they cook so much? "I’m so glad I asked the chef to cook a lot," Ki-hoon said. "We never know when you’ll wake up, so we made sure to cook your portion, hoping you would suddenly wake up and eat with us." Min-Cheol said, and I gulped the food down my throat. I was getting emotional. They went that far for me? "Hyung?" Min-Cheol called as he noticed I had stopped eating. "What’s wrong?" He asked, but I shook my head. "It’s nothing. It’s just..." I sniffed and then cleaned my teary eyes with the back of my palm, raising my face to smile brightly at them. "The food is very delicious." I didn’t want to let them know that I was touched by what they’ve been doing and how much they’ve been thinking about me, but I had a feeling they knew already. The satisfied smile that played on their lips was proof. After I had eaten, I took a walk around to allow my food to digest before going to bed, and they all escorted me, since I was going to walk around the garden for the first time. I made it known to them that I wanted to sleep right away because I felt sleepy, but their reactions were rather alarming. Anyone who saw them would think I had asked them to send me to the afterlife peacefully. It was indeed odd that I felt sleepy after just waking up, but I couldn’t help it. "Don’t worry, I’ll just be sleeping," I said, but they weren’t so sure about it, and so after taking my bath and getting ready to sleep, all three of them got in bed with me. Tch. I knew there was a reason why my bed was unnecessarily large. It seemed this was the only way to assure them that I wasn’t going to fall asleep and find my way to the afterlife or become Sleeping Beauty. Whatever. They were just being clingy. Ki-hoon slept at my left side, Min-Cheol at my right, and Jin-Yeok behind Min-Cheol. Since Min-Cheol hugged me, his head was at my chest level, Jin-Yeok was able to see my face clearly from his position, but he wished he were the one holding me instead. And do you know something else? They were all wearing the same type of pajamas I was wearing. It wasn’t a ’Hello Kitty’ this time, but rather plain, and they all had it in different colors. I don’t know if they checked my nightwear wardrobe in order to replicate what I had, but this was beginning to feel weird. How childish could they be? "Goodnight, Hyung," Min-Cheol said, and I brushed his hair softly. "Goodnight, Little Min," "Goodnight, Jo-Pil," Ki-hoon said, boldly kissing my temple, and I responded, "Goodnight, Hyung." "Goodnight, Jo-Pil," Jin-Yeok said, replicating Ki-hoon’s action but on the other side, and I smiled. "Goodnight, master," Even if Ki-hoon hadn’t done that, I knew Jin-Yeok would’ve done it. It was finally peaceful, and I could finally sleep. When I had fallen asleep, Min-Cheol, who had his head on my chest, checked to hear my heartbeat, and once he was sure it was beating normally, he sighed in relief and finally got to sleep. They were such worrywarts, but I guess I couldn’t blame them. Things were finally falling into place. But then, when the peace had just begun to feel so good to me, ’that’ Alpha decided to make his appearance. He strolled into the house early in the morning, just when we were all just coming down with plans to have breakfast, and asked with a smugged grin on his lips, "Was there a slumber party I wasn’t aware of?" He asked. "What’s with the matching pajamas?"
