Chapter 95 - Kim Daehyun: Weariness

When Chunghee suddenly came to the bedroom and slept beside me, I couldn't rest all night. And finally, before 5 a.m, I decided to contact someone to pick me up right away.

It's unusual but I didn't mean to leave him quietly either. I just felt that there were times when I needed to be alone. And after feeling the intense anger last night, I thought that I needed to keep a distance from him today so that we could calm ourselves for a moment.

To be honest, I was afraid to face Chunghee when he woke up. I was even afraid to look at him in the eye. I didn't know what to say or how to behave. I really didn't dare to face him head-on and felt so cowardly to just show a smile at him.

After dressing up neatly and making breakfast for Chunghee, I sat next to him, who was still asleep, while waiting for a driver to come.

Under the dim light of the night lamp, his face looked so calm, as if he was a sleeping beauty who had just rested from the suffering he had been through all this time.

I looked at his face deeply. He had long, tapering lashes, and had soft facial features. Seeing his beauty, I unconsciously smiled and thought, that it's no wonder Lee had been going crazy about him all these years.

Chunghee had a beautiful face. His speech was also gentle, typical of easterners. I thought that if I was his boyfriend from the start, I might be overprotective just like what Donghwa did.

However, in my amazement, suddenly the incident of last night flashed through my mind. When I remembered how I yelled at him last night, made guilt and affection suddenly came together in my chest so I couldn't help but kiss his forehead gently as an apology.

Soon, the cell phone in my pocket vibrated as a sign that the person I ordered to come to pick me up had arrived. I immediately got up, putting on my coat. I stared at Chunghee first in silence before stepping out into the courtyard below.

A big man opened the car door, then I immediately got in, and then the car sped away.

The big man said while driving the car, "Sir, the weather is terrible today. So, we are going by land route to Seoul. It is very dangerous to have a flight."

I replied indifferently, "Whatever."

Along the way, I felt unwell. As a result of not having slept all night, now my head felt dizzy and my whole body felt exhausted as if I had pulled concrete up a mountain and made my spine look as if it was going to crush. I leaned my back against the seat, trying to sleep, but I couldn't. My chaotic mind really didn't let me do it even if it's just to close my eyes.

Glancing at me in the rearview mirror, the man in the driver's seat asked how I was. But, as I was in a terrible mood right now, I didn't give any answers, pretending that I didn't hear anything.

One hour before arriving in Seoul, I asked the man to drive me to Du-Ho Hospital, intending to collect medicines for Chunghee without even telling him first. So, after entering Seoul city, he immediately drove me there.

At the hospital, I immediately went up to the floor where Dr. Jeong's office was without lingering.

But unfortunately, in front of the office, a nurse who was his assistant said that Dr. Jeong was taking a week off, plus I didn't know what medicines that Chunghee had been taking all this time, thus I couldn't ask the nurse to collect them for me. Disappointed, I left the hospital and headed to my apartment.

When I arrived, I immediately walked inside. However, as I was in the living room, A Yeong was seen cleaning the room with a vacuum cleaner. As soon as she saw me, she exclaimed, "President Kim, you're here so early!"

I wasn't surprised at all. I did ask A Yeong to clean this apartment every day because I rarely lived in it.

Walking to the sofa, I said to her commandingly, "Bring me some water. Hurry." I then laid down on the sofa to relax my body.

A Yeong was very obedient today. Usually, she would babble before obeying my orders. But now, as soon as she received the order, she immediately went to the kitchen and came with a glass of water. Putting the glass on the table, she asked anxiously, "Sir, are you all right? You look pale today."

I lifted my head slightly, taking a sip of water before replying, "I'm just a little dizzy."

Hearing my complaint, A Yeong immediately sat on the floor, near the sofa where I was lying, and started massaging my head slowly. "Sir, should I call a doctor?"

The massages made my head a little lighter. Closing my eyes, I replied, "No need. I just need to sleep a little."

Finished my words, my consciousness slowly started disappearing, and I finally fell asleep without realizing it.

However, it was only for a moment. About fifteen minutes later, I woke up as I heard some voices. And when I opened my eyes, Oh Yeonjae and a familiar man were sitting on the other sofa while talking. As soon as they both saw me wake up, a graceful man wearing a white coat who was with Oh Yeonjae right now, put his bag on the table. He smiled kindly as he spoke, "Our Young Master is awake. It's time to check his condition."

I frowned and asked curiously, "Dr. Liam, why are you here?"

Neeson Liam, around forty to forty-five years old, was a personal doctor in my family. He was half-American and had served in my family for seven years. I met him once when he came to France with my father two years ago. He always looked friendly, yet sometimes annoying.

Hearing the question, he immediately stood up and took a stethoscope and a small flashlight from his bag then walked over to me. "I got a call, so I'm right here to see you."

Oh Yeonjae interrupted, "Ah, sir, A Yeong called me and said that you were not feeling well, so I immediately picked up Dr. Liam to come here to check on your condition."

I got up from my position slowly. As I knew what he was going to do, I said indifferently, "I'm fine. I'm just not getting enough rest last night."

Dr. Liam smiled as soon as he was next to me. "I'm paid for by your family. It's my duty to make sure that the Kim Family is in good health. So, now, take off your coat and let me check on you."

Hearing those words, I had no choice but to comply with his speech.

It only took a few minutes. Dr. Liam then said in a firm tone, "Yup. As I thought — anemia. Lack of sleep and overwork are two things you should cut back on. I'll just give you vitamins. But, if you're still stubborn, I won't hesitate to register you as a patient in my hospital, you get me?" Paused, he added, "And by the way, when I came to check on your father's condition a few days ago, he said that he was looking for you for a month because you never came back to your house. Do you plan to run away from your house again?"

"..."

"If Mr. Kim finds out that his son didn't look after his condition while he was missing for a month, he could get wrath and lock you up. So, next time, don't let your body get anemia again or I will tell him about it."

Oh Yeonjae and A Yeong secretly chuckled when they heard Dr. Liam's words.

I languidly rolled the sleeves of my shirt up and said, "I'll try."

Those words were certainty just indeterminate words. I just wanted that damn Doctor to get out of here as soon as possible.

After tidying up his belongings, Oh Yeonjae immediately drove Dr. Liam back to the hospital.

As soon as they left, I immediately took a sharp glance at A Yeong, who was sitting not far from me. He gasped in surprise, then tried to explain nervously, "Um, sir, I was just worried if you fainted or something, so I called Yeonjae to do something for you."

Looking at her with a flat expression, I replied in a cold tone that sounded threatening, "I already said that I was fine. Next time, if you call him again just because of a trivial matter like this, I will not hesitate to cut your bonus."

A Yeong gulped hard before replying, "Of course, sir. I won't do it again. I'll give up for today. Your words already sound dangerous enough for me."

A Yeong was silent for a moment, and suddenly exclaimed as soon as she remembered something, "Um, sir! I almost forgot. President Lee came to the company to look for you several times while you were in Busan. He said that he had something to talk to you about. Should I arrange a meeting time for both of you, sir?"
