Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

"Calm down, nobody's going to hurt you now." 

When the words of the unknown man fell into Hani's ear, he was skeptical for a moment, but when their eyes met, a wave of relief suddenly washed over him.

The man seems reliable.

Maybe due to exhaustion, or the sudden relief from fear of being kidnapped, Jeonghan fainted for the second time that night.

Sebastian, reluctantly caught the person who collapsed against his arms, the fingers that had been clutching his suit just moments before finally let go.

Dave, who was watching the scene from behind through the front mirror, displayed a teasing smile.

Seeing his stoic boss somewhat flustered holding a beautiful person in his arms was a very rare sight to see.

After a few turns, at the gate of the villa, the car finally stopped.

"Boss we're here."

Dave get out of the car and went to the back in order to carry the sleeping beauty but much to his surprise his boss was already carrying the said beauty and went ahead of him.

Dokyeom let out a knowing smile.

When Hani finally woke up, he found himself in a king-size bed. The room was empty and when he looked down, a well-bandaged arms greeted his sight. Hani tried to sit up but he got suddenly dizzy so he gave up and just stare at the white painted ceiling instead.

"Where am I?" He murmured.

The wounds on his arms though wrapped in a bandaged still hurt a little. Hani was still in disbelief over the turn of event. Everything had happened so fast, and it was taking a toll on his mind, making him still alert and fidgety. All he wanted now was to go home and hug his precious furry little cat. Was that too much to ask?

Tears cascaded down his cheeks as soft sniffles follow.

Unbeknownst to him, several men were watching him at the very moment from the control room.

"Dave, could you enlighten us?He was the civilian Morales took hostage earlier, right? Why did you bring that person here?" Jun asked, clearly confused.

Dave's lips suddenly curved into a goofy smile as he answered, "Correction, the boss brought that person here. It wasn't me." He winked at Jun as if he were spilling some tea.

Dave started spilling some juicy gossips and Jun, Mingyu, Minghao, and Wonwoo leaned in, hanging to every word.

"So that's what all happened folks. In conclusion, I think our boss will no longer be a single man."

"Eeeh, our boss is just being nice. He's just helping an injured person, that's all," Minghao boredly answered, his eyes fixed on his black painted nails. "From what I see, he just felt sorry for that kid." Minghao yawned. Listening to Dokyeom's gossip was definitely a waste of time.

"You are really no fun." Dokyeom retorted back as he went out of the control room.

Seeing that the person finally woke up. He decided to take a visit.

*****

Jeonghan tired from crying, decided to close his eyes and sleep again. His eyes swept at the time on the wall clock. It was already past 3:00 am in the morning. He remembered that he actually has a class at 7:00 am later, so he needed to think of a good excuse if ever he will be absent.

Upon closing his eyes, Jeonghan's couldn't understand but he somehow see the face of the man in suit earlier. He couldn't help but blush. That man was undeniably gorgeous and seems reliable?

He wanted to say thank you to him but he don't know how.

Jeonghan was still deep in his thoughts when the door opened and the other familiar face from earlier went in.

Dokyeom showed a friendly smile as he went to the further corner of the room and bring a chair beside Jeonghan's bed where he made himself sit comfortably.

"You finally woke up."

Jeonghan looked at the stranger in front of him and just nodded his head.

"Oh My bad, I haven't introduce myself yet huh. I'm Dokyeom by the way a.k.a DK, may I know what's your name Miss?"

Jeonghan for the nth time in his life corrected someone again. "Yoon Jeonghan and I'm a boy." He said nonchalantly, he was used of being mistaken for a girl that it was so normal for him to correct the person right away.

Dokyeom couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Seriously a boy?

The beautiful, gorgeous person infront of him was a boy??

Jeonghan was amused at Dokyeom's reaction. The man's face was painted with utter disbelief.

"But how come? You're too beautiful to be a boy?"

"I don't know ask my mom and dad then, they made me."

Both of them laugh at the same time. Jeonghan's anxiety seems to fade away as he felt Dokyeom means no harm to him.

"Aww too bad, I thought you were gonna be my sister in law." Dokyeom mumbled under his breath and Jeonghan couldn't seem to hear him at all

"What?" He asked Dokyeom.

"Nothing, oh please tell me if you wanted to go already, I'll drive you home anytime. The boss ordered me to do so."

Jeonghan's ear perked up as he heard the word boss, from his assessment, the boss Dokyeom's mentioned were surely the man in suit earlier.

Jeonghan hung his head low to hide the blush that slowly appeared on his cheeks. "Uhmm thank you..and uhmm may I....." He wanted to ask Dokyeom the name of his boss but he was too shy to ask.

"Yes?"

"Uhm nothing, thank you again."

"You're welcome, Jeonghana."

And with that, the conversation of the two came to an end.

Jeonghan lie-down again and close his eyes, this time he fell asleep fast like a child.

*****

When the morning came, Jeonghan fluttered his eyes open as he carefully stretched his arms out. He spaced out for a while trying to get rid the sleep in his system.

Not long after, Dokyeom came to his room again.

"Good morning Jeonghana, let's eat some breakfast, the boss is waiting for you donwstairs."

After hearing what Dokyeom had said, Jeonghan was now fully awake.

"He was waiting for me?" Jeonghan asked in a plain voice but his heart was thumping excitedly.

Dokyeom answered yes and Jeonghan asked if he could use the bathroom.

He wanted to take a bath. Not like he wanted to have a good impression with the boss, its just that proper hygiene is important.

Jeonghan unknowingly smile as he thought of the above mentioned words. He then made a beeline towards the bathroom.

After Jeonghan showered and put some branded clothes that Dokyeom had prepared for him, the two were ready to go downstairs.

Jeonghan was in awe as he and Dokyeom strolled in the hallway. The house or Mansion was really big and the interior design were modern and chic and also there were so many rooms, Jeonghan took noticed.

After they arrived at the ground floor, Dokyeom guided Jeonghan again. The second floor was huge but the ground floor were even bigger. The living room was so grand. Jeonghan saw some people sitting idly or just hanging out around the living room, some were talking, some were watching some shows and other were occupied by their mobile phones but somehow the scene was warm, its like a group of close friends just hanging out together.

Jeonghan suddenly missed his bestfriend Hoshi and his roomate Seungkwan

Dokyeom saw Jeonghan eyeing those people with a longing expression.

"Want me to introduce them to you?"

Jeonghan directly answered: "No need, I just missed my friends that's all."

The two just chattered along the way, Jeonghan smiled, he felt comfortable around Dokyeom. He was like a sunshine and his personality is fine. He wanted Dokyeom to be his friend. Dokyeom reminded him of Hoshi and Seungkwan which also are very bubbly.

As they arrived at the Dining hall, Jeonghan's line of sight was already drawn to the handsome man who was sipping a cup of coffee while looking at something on his phone. A crease appeared on his well defined thick brows as if someone was annoying him big time.

Jeonghan just stared and admired the man in front of him, from his raven hair that fell just atop his eyes, it look so black and lush, then to the man's high nose bridge that was beyond perfect, a well defined jaw, red lips and his adam apple that slightly bobbed after sipping a coffee. Jeonghan really wanted to deny it himself but he finds all the man's feature attractive.

He was too charismatic and handsome. Jeonghan silently praised.

Today the man just wore a more casual outfit but still it looks too good on him nonetheless. It also give him a little more laid back aura than the first time Jeonghan met him which absolutely screams power and authority.

When Seungcheol lifted his eyes, Jeonghan suddenly bowed his head, avoiding eye contact.
