Chapter 99 - Kim Daehyun: Getting Nervous

The next day, as soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing that came up to my head was what I did last night. It was like a nightmare I just had, made me break out in a cold sweat. I thought that I had truly lost my sanity that time.

I turned sideways slowly and saw Chunghee still falling asleep beside me. It seemed that he was exhausted so he woke up late this morning.

I got up from a lying position. Sitting in silence, I looked at him guiltily. There was a temporary void so that the slightest movement of him made me gasp.

As soon as I saw him open his eyes, I immediately asked anxiously, "Chunghee, are you okay? You hurt?"

Hearing the question, he turned slowly to me, looking at me with his weary half-sleepy-eyes.

I gulped quietly, worried that he would hate me after what I had done to him last night.

Chunghee had not said a word yet. Then, as soon as he got up, there were many bite marks exposed on his bony body, revealing how cruel I was to make his body almost covered with terrible dark-red bite marks.

I felt like I wanted to punch my face right now!

Worried, I asked once again, "Are you okay?"

I was about to touch his shoulder to confirm his condition, but he immediately brushed my hand away while answering in a cold tone, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Instantly I could feel that the answer was expressing how annoyed he was with me today.

I lowered my gaze slightly. I wanted to apologize, but I thought that it was him who started it from the beginning, not me. So, it wasn't fully my fault so that I was reluctant to apologize, and just gritted my teeth tightly.

A few seconds later, he got out of the bed, clutching his pelvis. He limped towards the bathroom. I wanted to help him but by the look on his face, he didn't seem to need my help. I thought that helping him would only make him more furious.

I froze in this state. Imagining what I had done last night, I could clearly remember how insane and fool I was to say my words.

I felt like I wanted to die instantly instead of having to talk to him face to face.

I smiled stupidly and thought that Chunghee was even unwilling to look at me.

I ruffled my hair and forced my head to stop thinking unnecessarily and remain calm as usual.

After a few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom wearing his new thin pajamas. He didn't say a word until he left this room.

Seeing Chunghee's cold attitude after we had sex last night, I felt that Chunghee was playing tricks on me. I was angry but I couldn't scold him except for myself, who had gone too far.

Taking a deep breath, I got out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Under the shower, I lifted my face. Wiping my hair up, I felt every stream of water in my skin and let it carry my mingled feelings across my chest.

As I returned to think of our intimacy last night, there was something I couldn't deny, that out of the few people I had slept with, Chunghee was the best. I couldn't lie to myself even though now I was feeling restless.

I regretted what I had done but there was something that made me want to smile happily, where I could finally feel Chunghee's entire body.

"Heh ...." I smiled bitterly. I didn't think that I was fully awake this morning.

When I walked out of the bathroom a few minutes later, I suddenly froze when I saw the suit that was already on the bed. I laughed hollowly, suspecting that Chunghee wanted to play at me after what we just went through last night. I muttered softly, "Seriously? Chunghee, what's the point of this, huh? Are you planning something?"

I walked over to the bedside, then gazed at the suit that had been lying there for a while before putting it on. After that, I immediately went downstairs.

At first, I intended to make breakfast, but seemingly Chunghee had prepared everything when I was downstairs.

At the dining table, Chunghee and I were enjoying a bowl of soup in awkwardness.

Now and then I glanced at him secretly. Seeing him still being so quiet, I thought that he was tough enough to hide his true feelings.

However, our silence made me feel like I was sitting across from a foe. I couldn't help but start the conversation.

"Chunghee, last night, I ...."

With just those four words, Chunghee suddenly cut in, "It's okay." He smiled meaningfully and added as if he knew what I was thinking, "My hip hurt, so I couldn't talk much earlier. Sorry, okay? Now, I'm feeling better, so it's okay."

I froze for a moment before asking nervously, "Aren't you angry with me?"

In my whole life, no one had ever made me as worry and nervous as now except Chunghee. This guy had completely broken down my defensive wall. He was the only one who could do that — no one else.

He chuckled. Shaking his head, he said, "No. I will never be angry at my own decision."

I was about to reply, but before I could say a word, my cell phone rang in a gap. I took it out of my pocket, then looked at the caller ID. Seeing that it was Donghwa's number, I immediately rejected it.

Chunghee asked, "Why did you decline the call? It must be a call from your office. You better go to work right away."

I smiled coldly. Hearing those words, something flashed through my mind all of a sudden. I paused for a while before asking in a low tone that seemed cold, "Chunghee, if Lee came to you, do you want to return to him?"

Hearing my sudden question, he froze all of a sudden, then slowly put his spoon on top of the soup bowl in front of him. He swept his gaze slowly at me with a frown and smiled wearily. "I won't. Why would I leave and hide if I have to come back to him again?"

Hearing his answer, a cold grin etched on my face. Perhaps he thought that his answer perfectly convinced me, but it sounded so dubious.

However, I didn't want to think about it any longer and immediately shifted the conversation before the atmosphere got stiffer, "Chunghee, don't you want to go back to your grandma's house?"

"I do!" He answered so eagerly and there was a glow of joy in his eyes.

"Alright. What about this afternoon? I'll be back to pick you up before attending an event tonight."

He smiled, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing him so excited, I could tell that he had wanted to return to that place for a long time but chose not to ask me directly.

Then, after breakfast, I stood up and gave him a sweet kiss before leaving for work.

At first, it was just a usual kiss, but it gradually became a passionate kiss and barely made me forget my work for the moment before the ringing of the cell phone in my hand made me awake from this intimacy.

When I looked at my cell phone screen, my eyes turned dark. It's Donghwa — again. Of course, I rejected the call mindlessly. Answering his call would only make me hear the same nonsense of him.

It's sickening to hear his calls almost every day.

"I have to go directly. You should better pack your things before we leave this afternoon," I said to Chunghee, smiling gently.

He nodded his head excitedly, showing a smile of joy on his face.

After saying this, I kissed his forehead before leaving and walking towards the car that had been waiting outside for a long time. As soon as I got in, the car immediately sped off to head to the airport for a quick flight.

It took about thirty minutes to arrive by the air route.

When I arrived in Seoul, a black sedan was already at the airport, then immediately drove me to the company.

On the way, my cell phone rang again. I thought that it was Donghwa who was calling me now. But, Seeing the different ID of this incoming call, my thumb immediately shifted to tap the green button on the screen.

A Yeong yelled on the phone, "President Kim! You have to come to TU company right now! Mr. Lee insisted on seeing you, sir!"

I winced in surprise before ordering, "Tell him to leave and come another time."

A Yeong paused for a moment, then replied, "Sir, I told him but Mr. Lee still insisted on wanting to see you right now. He wants to convey something privately to you and that's important he said. Now, um ... Mr. Lee is waiting in your office. I have no choice but let him in."

I didn't show any expression. But, I could feel my heart freeze and solidify as sicken slowly crept into it.

An important thing? Nonsense. I seldom even had business with him. It was definitely just an excuse to say the same nonsense as previous days.
