"Sssh..."

He placed a finger on his lips to tell the maids to be careful not to wake her up... they all bowed and just stayed on their spots and watched him as he scoop her up in his arms... they were about to help him carry her but he shook his head no...

"I can manage..." he said as he smiled at them before making his way out to their room.

Just then she suddenly stirred from her sleep when she felt herself being lifted... arms immediately came to wrap around his neck as she turned to hug him and rest her head on his shoulder...

"Kookie...?" She sleepily asked... not opening her eyes probably thinking it was just her dream...

He smiled at that... quickened with his walk before she completely woke up...

Gently placed her down on their bed... he took off her slippers and tucked her inside the blanket... not minding his own tired body... he sat beside her and watched her for a while as she slept... placed a kiss on her forehead and caressed her cheek for a while before letting out a deep sigh and brows furrowed a bit...

"I can fix this Rosé-ah..." he whispered... scanned her face first before he stood up and left their room as he went to his office...

He placed his phone against his ear... waited for the other line to pick up... his other hand came behind his neck... still wearing a bothered expression on his face... with his heart beating so fast because of anxiousness... another deep sigh came out from him when the other line finally picked his call...

--

She scampered as soon as she saw who was calling her... her heart jumped upon seeing the name and immediately sat up on her on the edge of her bed, only with her blanket covering her bareness...

"Oppa... what... what made you call...?"

She stuttered... pushed her hair back with her hand as she tried to calm herself down...

"Tzuyu-ah... are you okay...?"

She shut her eyes tight for a second, calming herself down... looked over her shoulder, blaming herself for her stupidity... what if Jungkook will come this night...? What if he's already on his way...?

"Ah... oppa yes... I was just sleeping when you called... are you... are you going here...? Where are you...?"

Suddenly, a pair of arms slowly wrapped along her waist... and a kiss landed on her bare shoulder... trailing its way to her neck and upon feeling it... she immediately looked at the man doing those things to her and threw him a glare... only for her to earn a smirk from the man as he continued showering kisses on her body...

"No... I'm here in my house... I just called to tell you I won't be able to come to school tomorrow..."

"Oh... why...?" She continued to struggle from the man's hold but failed to escape.

"I still have some business to do but Tzuyu-ah... I need to meet with you tomorrow... Ill drop by on the café near the school before lunch... I need to tell you something..."
