Don't Leave Me || ATEEZ San Fanfic

Chapter 16 : With U

Mirae's POV

"I want Mirae-ssi to take me home," San said.

"Yes?" I looked at him in surprise.

"Ah..." Jihoon-ssi thought for a while. "Okay. You can drive him home." He handed me the car key.

"Ah, yes..."

We bowed to him and headed towards the parking lot.

"Why do you suddenly want me to drive you home?" I asked, still walking.

"No reason."

I opened the door of the passenger's seat at the front and let him in. Then I went to the driver's seat and drove away.

Soon we reached his apartment. My jaw dropped on seeing it. It was a huge house.

Just how rich is he?...

I parked the car in the parking lot and followed him inside. He entered his passcode and we got in.

I kept looking around as we headed to the living room. It indeed was huge from inside too. The interior was also very good.

"You live here?" I said. "You're house is so beautiful... Where do I keep this bag?"

"On that table." He pointed to the table which was in front of the couches.

"Do you live alone? I don't see anyone here."

The smile which he had soon faded away. He just looked down and didn't reply anything.

Did I say something wrong?

Just then I saw a cat running towards me and crawling up on my feet. I crouched down and caressed her head.

"You didn't tell me you have a cat," I said, smiling widely.

"You didn't ask." He shrugged.

"Aww... She's so cute. What's her name?"

"Byeol."

"Byeol?... What a cute name!" I picked her up and she snuggled in my arms.

"Byeol doesn't come near strangers but it seems like she likes you."

I giggled. "I like you too Byeol." I ruffled her fur before putting her down. She quickly ran away in tiny. I chuckled. "She's cute."

I turned to face San. "I'll get going now. Don't forget to take your medicines on time." I was about to walk away when he stopped me.

"Wait!... You're not going anywhere."

"Hm?"

"You'll be living here with me."

"What?!...What did you just say?"

Did I hear it wrong?

"You'll be living here from now on. I've talked about it with manager-nim already. And he agreed to let you stay here. Didn't he tell you?"

"He never mentioned it before..."

"He must have forgotten to tell you."

"But me living here with you..."

"You're my bodyguard afterall."

"But still it's..."

"That's your room." He pointed to the door at the far end. "And this is mine." He pointed to the door just beside my room.

What's going on?!... I'm really going to live with him under one roof?!

Just then we heard the door being unlocked and then I saw someone familiar coming towards us.

Wait a minute! Isn't she...?

She quickly hugged San. "Sannie, I heard you were sick. Do you know how much worried I was?" I looked at San with furrowed eyebrows.

What's going on?

San pulled back. "I'm okay now."

He then looked at me, making the girl also turn towards me. It was her, the one who bumped into me that day at the party.

"We met again," she said.

"You both know each other?" San asked.

"Yeah, we met briefly at the party."

"Ah... I'm really sorry about that day. I didn't mean to do it on purpose."

"It's okay. I've already forgiven you." She smiled. "...But what are you doing in San's house?"

"She's Kang Mirae, my bodyguard."

"Ah, I see... I'm Kim Nari. Nice to meet you again." She extended her hand for me to shake.

I shook my hand with her. "Nice to meet you too."

"She'll be living together with me from now on."

"What? Living together?..."

"I know it's a little awkward but it's just for my safety."

Nari looked a little uncomfortable for me living with San but gave me a smile before speaking.

"Mirae-ssi, please protect my boyfriend at all costs. I'm counting on you for his safety."

"Ah, sure..." I slightly smiled back.

"You're talking as if I'm a kid who needs a babysitter." San pouted.

"You need to be taken care of." She ruffled his hair and giggled.

"It should be the other way." San ruffled her hair too.

It felt as if I was third wheeling so I cleared my throat, turning their attention towards me.

"Something came up so I need to go. Then..."

Nari waved at me and I headed out of the house. I don't know why but I felt a little upset.
