Nara’s Pov
In the morning
I stretched my body, opening my eyes slowly, my eyes widened by what I saw
My face was on his chest
Unknowingly, I hit his chest and took a sitting position
he opened his eyes instantly while rubbing his chest
" yah, I told you, not to touch me, and now, why are you pulling me close, and why was I sleeping on your chest? " I asked
" it's not my fault, you are the one who came to me, crawling closer, and used my chest as a pillow, don't you remember? " he said while stretching
" what? " I asked
really I did that, I was the one who shifted closer to him first?
I tried to remember about last night, but I don't remember anything, I cannot understand, why did I easily fell asleep beside a guy without any worries?
if it was true that I was the one who approached him, then that was very embarrassing, suddenly my face felt hot as if burned
" Nara, I want to ask one thing, " he said
" what " I replied with a weak tone, I lowered my face, I couldn't look at his face because I felt too shy
" about leaving my house, can you think about it again? " he asked
I glanced at him, I'm was confused by his question
" why? " I asked
" I don't want you to leave, " he said while looking into my eyes
We stared at each other for a while.
" I promise, I will not forbid you, you can do whatever you want, if you still want to work in the club, just do it, so please think about it again, I want you to stay in my house, with me, " he said
I was shocked, by his words.
just by hearing his words it made me soft, his words penetrated into my heart, and for the first time my heart was beating so fast as if going to explode
" all right, I'll think about it again, " I said, I was trying so hard to hide my feelings
" thank you, " he said while smiling
what is this, my heart is pounding just by his smile
what kind of feeling is this, what's wrong with me
I looked away, awoke myself from this strange feeling
" I will make breakfast, " I said, then I got out of bed, I have to get away from him, if I stay here for another minute, I'll fall for him
I went to the kitchen, placed my hand on my chest, felt my rapid heartbeat
" wake up, do not fall for him, " I said
Then I started making breakfast
after I finished making breakfast, then my dad came to me
" morning dad, You came at the right time, let's eat, " I said
" where's jungyu? " he asked
" he is still sleeping, how lazy, " I said, rolled my eyes
" wait, I'll wake him up " I continued
" no, just let him sleep a little longer, he must be very tired, " he said then I nodded
Then we ate without jungyu
After eating, we were chatting, watching tv laughing together
I missed these moments, being near to my father, seeing his face every day, taking care of him
at once, the memory about my mother crossed my head
it would have been so different if my mother had been here too.
I miss her so much
5 hours passed,
after taking a good bath, I went to my room, jungyu was still asleep
" how lazy " I mumbled
I walked closer to the bed, intending to wake him, but when I reached for the bed, my heart softened just seeing him sleeping peacefully.
I leaned over, wanting to see him closer, he has good skin, his sharp jawline looks so manly, and his nose is so pretty, but there is one thing that makes me swallow hard when I see it
Yes, his lips
his tiny lips look so soft and sweet, I bit my bottom lip, want to taste it
When I was enjoying his view, suddenly he opened his eyes
I just froze, I did not move, our eyes met, and our distance was so close
suddenly he put his palms on my cheek, stroked my lips with his thumb
I felt weak by his touch
" don't leave, please, " he said with a soft tone
I didn't know why he did not want me to leave
" why is your face becoming red like that? " he asked while frowning
his word woke me out of my daydreams
I'm was so embarrassed
" yah.. you, just wake up, " I said to him while standing
And then his phone rang
" Hmm, " he said, picked up the call
" I'm not in Seoul now, " he said
" Hmm, but maybe I'll arrive in Seoul in the afternoon, " he said
" Okay, I'll be right there when I get to Seoul, " he said then ended the call
" I'm sorry Nara, I think I should go now, " he said while looking at me
" going to see Mr.Choi? " I asked
I'm sure it was him who asked jungyu to come home and asked jungyu to finish his dirty work
" yes, I'm sorry, he's looking for me " he sighed
" Okay, I'm coming with you, now just let's get lunch, and then we can go back to Seoul afterward, " I said, then he nodded
after getting lunch, we said goodbye to my father and immediately went to Seoul
At Jungyu's home
" Okay, I have to go now, " he said after we got into the house
" You will stay here, right? You will not go anywhere right? until I get back " he asked, looking into my eyes
" I will not go anywhere, I'll wait for you here, and I will not leave you....hmm I mean your house " I replied then he smiled
" thank you, I'm so happy to hear that, " he said while letting out a sigh of relief
" I gotta go, I will be right back, bye, " he said then turning around, he was about to leave the house and but then I stopped him by holding his wrist
He turned back, looking at me in confusion
" what? " he asked
" come back safely, do not come back with blood again, please do not get hurt, " I said while holding his hand
I'm so worried because he's going to meet that cruel man
I do not want him to get hurt by working for Mr.Choi
" I won't, I promise, bye, " he said, stroking my hand then he left
Jungyu’s Pov
At the mansion
I went into the mansion, I didn't see anyone, I went to Mr.Choi’s room, the door was open, I peeked inside but he was not there
" where's everyone, Minjoo Hyung asked me to come here but what, they are not here " I sighed
I went to our private room, where I and all my hyungs used the room to relax
" yes, I'm alone, " I said as I get into the room and didn't see anyone there
I threw my body on the couch and then my phone vibrated, I took my phone out of my pocket
I got a text and I smiled immediately when I saw the sender's name
Nara: did you reach?
I don't know why I just felt so happy just by reading her text
Me: hmm, why?
I replied her text
Nara: are you okay?
She replied
and now, I'm like crazy, smiling at my phone
by knowing that she was worried about me
and we just texted each other for a while
Meanwhile
Jaemin’s Pov
I was on the balcony and saw jungyu walking into our private room, I followed him
I was standing at the door, I was about to greet him, but I just waited, I was watching him, he was focusing on his phone
his face was flushed, a smile kept on his lips, and this was the first time that I had seen him like this
And yes, he looked so happy
seeing him like this makes me so calm and happy for him
Jungyu’s Pov
when I was about to type a message, suddenly I heard someone clearing their throat
I glanced over and saw jaemin hyung who was standing at the door while smiling at me
" hi Hyung, " I said while greeting him
" you came " he replied, walking closer to me then sat next to me
" where are the others? " I asked
" in their own room " he replied and I just nodded
" yah, where have you been? it's almost 2 weeks that you were not here, where did you sleep then? " he asked
" hotel " I replied, answered easily
" really? " he frowned, while gave me a sharp gaze
" tell me, " he said
" tell you? About what? " I replied
" jungyu, we have been living together for almost 9 years, I know you so well, You're acting strange lately, not coming home, not meeting us, I know you're hiding something from us, just be honest, tell me, are you okay? has something bad happened to you? " he asked with care
I feel so sorry for lying to my hyung, honestly, I'm afraid to tell them, to tell the truth, but I have no choice now because they know when something is bothering me so I told him,
" I'm sorry hyung, actually I stayed in my house, I bought that house 2 years ago, but I didn't tell you " I sighed
I give up, if they get mad at me, then I'll accept the risk
" but really, I bought the house not to cheat you guys, I just want to have a secret place to be alone when I was Fed up with the f*****g job, " I said, lowering my head
" I know your feeling, that's good for you, for calming yourself there, " he said while patting my shoulder
I glanced at him, I was shocked, I can't believe that he was not angry at me
" but there is another problem right? which you have not said yet " he said
I'm in trouble, he will definitely dig it all
" I live with someone there, " I said, I can not believe those words came out of my mouth
" what? With who? " he frowned
" a girl " I sighed, I feel that he is going to kill me now
" is she pretty? " he asked
My heart jumped as I heard his question
I looked at him, he smiled, and he looks so excited
What is this? why is he like this? is he not angry at me?
" what? " I asked in confusion
" yah, I asked, is she pretty? " he punched my chest
" I'm sorry I thought you would be mad at me, but... " I said
" mad? why should I be mad at you? " he cut me off
" jungyu listen to me, I saw you, I was watching you when you entered this room, with a flushed face, with a smile, and you look so happy, this is the first time that I've seen you this happy, and I'm happy for you, i don't want to ruin your happiness " he said while giving me a warm smile
I was so relieved to hear it, he understands me well
" then tell me about her, how did you start living together? " he said
" I do not know where to start, but for sure, the first time I met her, I just wanted to protect her, and after I know her more, knowing her life, her family, her work, I feel that I'm ready to give my life to keep her safe, to make her happy " I said, I didn't know, the sentence came out by itself
" do you love her? " he asked
I was shocked by his question,
" what love? no, of course not " I laughed awkwardly
" yah, You want to protect her, even you can risk your life to keep her safe, then what is that called? That's love jungyu, you are in love, don't lie to yourself, you love her " he said while patting my shoulder
I froze, I didn't know how to responds to this, do I love her? for real? But I'm not sure about my feelings either
that's true if I'm willing to risk my life for her, but does that prove that I love her?
" it's okay, just take your time for thinking about what I said, but, you have to tell the others about this, " he said
then we got together, and I told them everything, about my secret house, about Nara, everything
but only seungjib hyung he's not here because he just stuck to his bed
" I think this is the best, just keep this secret from seungjib, do not let him know about this, you all know, seungjib is the most obedient to Mr.Choi, you will be in big trouble if seungjib knew about this and he'll tell this to Mr.Choi, and if that happens, then that's not only you are in danger, but also Nara, as we know, Mr.Choi will do anything if he finds us hiding something from him " minjoo said
We all nodded, minjoo hyung was right, for the first time, I felt the fear, the biggest worry, imagining that Mr.choi doing something bad to her
" it's good for you, I have never seen you this happy, we are happy to see you like this " seojin said while patting my shoulder
" I want to meet her, I meant we want to her " Ahjoon said while smiling
I will let them meet Nara, this will be very helpful, they will help me to keep her safe
