Chapter Twenty-Nine

"So you're telling me,  Sicheng and Chittaphon threw a fit in your office..?"

It was a slow but clear sentence coming from the exhausted-looking make. His eyes were wide in disbelief. He wanted to cancel out the words that Jaehyun just said. It took a good amount of convincing Taeyong to maybe sit and have a chat with him – and knowing that Taeyong is too stressed giving him a break won't harm, right? -  Jaehyun felt as if he had potential to be a businessman, and knowing that Taeyong seems like the type to be hard to convince, he completely convinced him in the nicest way possible to spare him his time without pushing his buttons. It was worth it.

"And Chittaphon slapped you just because you checked his heartbeat. .?"

Jaehyun nodded and turned his head to the right showing the bright red hand print that reaches his eyebags.  Taeyong looked like Jaehyun told him a story where some unicorn appeared from thin air and sprinkle some magic that turns children into goblins or those elves you see in the gardens of old ladies or whatnot. In utter disbelief and not to mention the second-hand embarrassment.  He was fully aware that Chittaphon is violent towards him, yeah he can take that. But he didn't think that he would be this aggressive towards the one that checks their health, Jung Jaehyun. Shouldn't Chittaphon be grateful his health is checked? Since Bo-Ah took the children there he could consider the time to call or meet up to talk about what the heck happened at the clinic.

This is why he can't leave them unsupervised. Curse you work!

"First work and now this." Taeyong sank himself halfway down the passenger seat. It was obvious he was frustrated, maybe Jaehyun shouldn't have said so. Then again it was part of their agreement to inform Taeyong no matter what. And that is what Jaehyun despised, being honest and not lie. Sometimes honesty is not the best policy. Taeyong was so frustrated Jaehyun could feel it too.

"And the damn lawsuit." He mumbled.

"Pardon?" Jaehyun turned to Taeyong and tilted his head , oblivious.

Taeyong took a deep breath. A deep breath in suppressing down the fire of rage and insanity."Thank you for telling me, I'll give that boy a word." Taeyong said through his gritted teeth and a strained smile.  And as he spoke Taeyong was heading out the car. Jaehyun at that moment was in a dilemma. Suddenly everything moved in slow motion because of how fast it went by. Should he just let him be ? Or no? Let him be or no? It was as if Jaehyun was plucking out petals of a flower that decided his movement.

Taeyong was by the car door when he heard the seat belt unbuckle and a head peeking out from the car.

"Hey uhm."

Taeyong looked at Jaehyun who was in an awkward position. His upper body hovered over the handbrake emergency brake while his two hands supported his levitating figure. Taeyong couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

"Yes Jaehyun?" Taeyong's arms were crossed, his head jerked to the side with a raised eyebrow.

Great. Just great! Jaehyun you're so stupid ! You look stupid right now infront of Taeyong. You look desperate...

Jaehyun's inner thoughts screamed.

Jaehyun felt his ears warm up in embarrassment. He broke eye-contact with Taeyong and instead shifted unto the seat Taeyong sat earlier.

"Well. . Uh. . W-well." Jaehyun stammered that he felt his tongue being tied.

"I-I"ll wait for you, uhm, here."

"I forgot to mention to you that I brought my car with me. I didn't forget it like last time."

"R-right."Jaehyun's eyes stuck to the seat for a brief moment before gathering enough courage to face the male slowly. He was greeted with a smile.
