" Sweetheart... " He called me and pull my palm into his.
" Hm ? " Replied me while linking my hand into his.
" Thankyou," He said, kissing the back of my hand and hugging my arm until he fell asleep. " Thankyou for bringing me home safely " Were his last words before he drifted into dreams.
" MR. JUNG, WAKE UP "
And not to lie, that was the greatest shout for me to start my day.
Opening my eyes slowly, " Why ? " Asked me.
" Jae, why did you sleep here ? "
" Oh, " I straighten my body on my comfortable couch in the living room. " My friend slept in my room " Answered me while yawning.
" You still have a bunch of rooms ? "
" Yeah, I was just sitting here yesterday and turn out its morning already " Explained me calmly.
" I already cooked breakfast, feel free to invite your friend for it "
" Thankyou, aunt kim " I sent her my sweetest smile and stand up from the couch. Walking upstairs to my room and twist the knob slowly.
As I open the door widely, I got the view of Sicheng standing by the balcony with water of glasses in his palm. Enjoying morning's air, maybe ?
" Good morning, Sicheng " Greeted me while walking to the closet. Taking out my towel, I turn my back to Sicheng who's looking at me in surprise.
" Morning, Jae " He answered me with his genuine smile, still leaning his back at the balcony. " Did you just wake up ? " Asked him and I just nod for the answer.
" Will be taking a shower for 10 minutes and more, you can go downstairs for breakfast first," Said me, now walking towards the bathroom.
" I will just wait for you then, no rushing okay ? " He said to me with his reassured smile.
" As you wish, little Sicheng " I bowed down, treating him like a prince and shut the door up.
It took me around 5 minutes to take my body into the water, I just forgot to turn on the water heater before closing the door and knowing I'm fighting with the cold water.
" Ah fuck ! It's already nearly afternoon yet the water is still this cold ?! " Shriek me when the water hit my body, running down to my leg as I forced myself to be under the water nonetheless.
" Jae, are you okay in there ? " Asked Sicheng and knock on the door a few times. " Do you need any helps ? "
What way of helping you can help me with ?
I wondered with my flat face, " Forget it " I shrugged all of his words and continues on my shower. As I had already finished my shower by brushing my teeth, I wrapped my lower body with the towel and walked out randomly from there.
" J-Jae ? "
There, I forgot about one boy in my room.
" Told ya to go downstairs first but you won't, " Said me while choosing the clothes I'm going to put on for today.
" You didn't ask me to even wait outside or in the living room ! " Hissed him while me putting on my clothes onto my built body.
" Well, you're not a kid anymore that I have to instruct all at you either " Protest me back, settling down the towel by hanging them.
Sicheng just stare at me in disbelief, " You just want to show off your built body and those ugly abs of yours " He glared at me hard. " Why did you wear casual clothes, by the way ? " He suddenly asked.
" It's not like your first time seeing me half-naked like that " Protest me, really can't accept that he said I want to show off my abs ? The heck. " I'm not planning on going to the office today, I will just have Kun cancel all the meetings " Answered me.
" Why yo-- " Sicheng snapped out all of sudden and hung his words. " Let's catch for some breakfast first, " Said him and pulled me to the door.
Pulling me out of my room and continue walking to the kitchen without me telling him the directions. He drove me there hand by hand, pulling me like I'm that kind of disobeying kid who is going to be dead meat of their parents because playing nonstop at the playground.
" Are you planning of renovating your castle ? " Sicheng asked out of nowhere while me fixing my hair with my other hand.
Full of surprise, I decided to let out a hummed in questioning tone.
" Well, your castle is already this big. So, I'm gonna snap some sense to you if you're planning of any renovating things "
" I'm not planning of any right now, but I know I will " Answered me randomly.
" Morning, aunt kim ! " Sicheng's voice suddenly became excited as I lifted my head to find out that my maid is now staring at mine and Sicheng's hands confusedly.
" So, Sicheng is that friend of yours, " Said her with her flirty smile.
" Hurm ? " It's Sicheng of course.
I just walk beside Sicheng and pull our hands to my back, hiding them before the maid come out of any other nonsense ideas. " We are here for some breakfast, we are still on it, right ? " I asked her politely.
" Yes, ofcourse " She makes a way for both of us who still have hands on each other. " Enjoy your breakfast Jaehyun and Sicheng," She said before leaving us walking to the dining table.
Once we arrived at the table, I let go of his hand and take my seat. " Now, tell me why you don't want to go to the office ? " Sicheng asked me once he sat down beside me.
I just pay attention to the dishes since they're more interesting than Sicheng's questions right now.
" Jae ~ "
Damn.
My hand suddenly don't know how to work on the dishes when my body tense hearing that voice from Sicheng's mouth again.
Just the same as yesterday, that time when I got hard.
" Don't you dare to call me like that ever again neither one of our friends nor strangers " Said me while staring straight into his eyes.
" W-why, Jae ? "
" Just, don't " I pay my attention to the dishes back.
" But first tell me where are you going today ! Because me too, won't go to the company seems that we're still here having breakfast that is about to be called lunch "
" Oh, you're saying that you're going with me everywhere and anywhere I go for today ? " Asked me with big eyes. Thought that having Sicheng as an accompany doesn't seem wrongs.
" Yes, ofcourse ! Tell me, Jae ~~ "
" Dong Sicheng ! "
" Why can't I use that tone ?! "
" Just don't ! "
" TELL ME, WHY ?! "
" Just don't, "
" TELL ME FIRST, WHY ?! "
" Just don't, Sicheng. And please, no shouting in front of the foods "
" Jaeeeee ~~~~~~ Tell me whyy ~~~ " He whining, in. that. tone. again.
" It's seducing, Dong Sicheng. It's unhealthy. If you still insisted on using that tone, I had no choice than sending you back to China and tell everything at Mr.Dong "
" Jae... " He put his palm to my arm which is now about to feed my breakfast into my mouth. " Please... please don't do that... don't send me back to C-China.... Don't d-do that please I'm b-begging y-you, " He said between sobs and that got my mouth apart in shock.
" Hey, what's wrong ? " I put back the cutleries and focus on Sicheng who is now sniffing his sobs while closing his face with his small palms.
" Just, J-Just promise m-me not to tell m-my father about my bad b-behaviour in Korea, please... "
" Hey, Sicheng. Come here, lift your head and look at me " I pulled his palm slowly and lift his chin to face me. " Talk with me, what happened ? I thought you love being in China ? "
" I.. I, it's just that me... " He burst into tears again and close his eyes. " I don't want to talk about it right now, huaaaaaaaa " He cried out loud and snuggled his arm around my neck.
I just pat his back softly.
" It's okay, babe. We can talk later "
" Ermm " He nods on my shoulder and sniffs his sobs again, trying hard to prevent his tears to fall.
" Now, let's eat first. Yesterday you were drunk and you caught a bad headache " I pulled him slowly from the embrace. Seeing his puffed eyes and cheeks, make me chuckle a little. " Even though you're feeling fine already, you still have to eat these " I pointed to all the dishes.
He smile and nodded obediently. " Okay, sweetheart," He said before putting his eyes on the dishes.
I smile awkwardly, " You called me... sweetheart ? "
" You too, You never called me babe, but you did yesterday. Why ? "
That question made my jaw drop, " Y-you re-remembered ? " Stutter me.
" It's just that I had a headache, It's not like I was drunk " He shrugged innocently while feeding himself. " I just found out that your heart got soft at the sight of the weak me that you called me babe like... just now ? " He wiggled his brows.
I chuckled at that and let out a little laugh, " You're right, but you're not weak. You just need love from me, " Said me and focus on the dishes back.
" Guessed I found some cute nickname for our friendship and I rather need loves from Taeil more " Sicheng hit my arm using his arm. I just nod and smile in agreement. But not for the Taeil's part.
" Sweetheart ! " I turn my head at him who shouted all of sudden, " Just testing if it's work out or not " He winked at me afterwards.
I giggles a little at the sight of excited Sicheng, " Ofcourse it's going to work out, babe " I clicked my tongue at him. " Your cheeks are still puffy though from crying just now " Commented me and he just pout cutely.
" Yet, you still didn't tell me where are you going today ! " He hissed and scrunched his nose.
" Let's go to the ice cream store "
" To meet the Angel ? "
" Sounds nice, " I nod to his words.
" That's the aim, no argue. Periodt " He said and we continue to settle down our so-called breakfast.
