A/N: Ok, something is lacing and I don't know. I think the story sounded better in my head. I hope it wont turn bad in the end. I love you all and thank you for reading.
Chan was wrong. Jeongin was anything but fine.
The boy looked like he wasn't getting any sleep.
It was Friday morning. Chan siting at the bar, waiting for his order.
Black coffee. Not the order Chan made.
Jeongin was getting worse every day.
On Monday he looked just pretty tired. Then on Tuesday his bags under his eyes were bigger, and told Chan that he ran out for cherries and forgot to order new. Then Wednesday rolled and the boy was starting to look like a mess. Still no cherries. His hair a mess. On Thursday the boy even started messing with his orders.
Chan was now worried. What was happening with the pretty boy?
"I didn't order that Jeongin." Chan told him.
"Oh, you didn't? I am so sorry. What did you order?" Jeongin said not looking at Chan.
"You. With a cherry on top." Chan said half-jokingly.
"Ah, I am sorry. I'll make you one right away." The boy still not looking at Chan.
After a minute Jeongin placed again a black coffee in front of Chan.
What the... Chan thought. Then he grabbed the boy's wrist.
"Tell one of your waiters to take over the bar." Chan told the boy with flat voice.
"What?" Jeongin asked stunned.
"Just tell someone to took over the bar." Chan demanded, tightening his grip on the boy's wrist.
Jeongin only nodded and did what Chan told him to do. They both went behind the shop to talk in private.
"What's wrong with you pretty boy?" Chan asked.
"I told you, nothing is wrong Strawberry. I am fine." Jeongin said looking everywhere but Chan.
"Don't lie to me. You are not all right. You still are not answering my messages or calls. You look like a mess. You are messing your orders. When was the last time you had sleep?" Chan continued with his questions.
"I told you I am fine." Jeongin said holding his tears.
Chan grabbed the boy by his shoulders, squeezing them.
"I told you not to lie to me." Chan said, using his demanding voice he used on his men when they didn't obey.
To that Jeongin only let go of his tears and started to cry. Chan embracing the boy. Jeongin hugging him back tightly. Burying his face in the man's chest.
"Its all right pretty boy. Don't cry. I am here. Everting is going to be all right. Now tell me what is on your pretty head that is not letting you rest." Chan said with a tender voice.
"I am getting creepy messages." Jeongin said with a sob. His face still buried in Chan's chest.
"What?" Chan asked didn't expecting this answer.
Jeongin took his phone out and showed all the messages he was getting the past week. There were a few pictures of Jeongin as well. The person clearly following the boy.
"Have you talked with the police?" Chan asked.
"Yes, but they told me they couldn't track the sender. There is nothing they could do at this moment." The boy sobbed some more.
Well, Chan could track the sender with easy. That was an easy task for him. But he had a better idea.
"Come with me to my place then. You will be safer there. I promise." Chan said, cupping the boy's cheeks.
"What?" Jeongin asked stunned.
"I have security at home, no one can enter in my home. And you won't be alone." Chan answered.
"No, Strawberry, I can't. I don't want to bother you.: Jeongin said shocked.
"You won't bother me. Just let me help you. Please." Chan pleaded.
This was the first time when Chan actually pleaded someone. What did this boy do to him?
"Yeah, Ok. I will come. Thank you so much Strawberry." Jeongin said with a bright smile.
"Good. I will wait for your shift to end and will accompany you home to get the stuffs you will need." Chan said.
"Don't you have work mister businessman?" Jeongin asked jokingly.
"I'll make a call to cancel all my appointments. Don't worry." Chan smiled.
Chan stayed with Jeongin the whole day. Everything seemed normal. After Jeongin closed the shop for the day, the went for his apartment to take what he needed for the stay at Chan.
"You live in a fucking mansion? Are you sure you are just a businessman?" Jeongin looked at the big house in front of him.
"Come on pretty boy, lets get you inside." Chan said, placing his hand on the boys back, leading him inside.
The mansion was beautiful outside, but in side? It was stunning. Every detail, every color.
Jeongin studently felt dirty. Like if he touched something, he would stain it, leaving dirty prints. Gosh everything looked so expensive and probably was.
Chan led the boy up a staircase, to the second floor. There were only two rooms, one on left and the other on the right in the corridor.
"Do you get lost in your own house?" Jeongin asked him when they stopped in front of the left door.
"Don't worry about that. From here you have access to everything you will need in the house. You have bathroom in your room. The kitchen is down left from the stairs, and next to it it's the Livingroom from where you have access to the garden. If you are in need of something else, I will be your guide." Chan explained.
"Thank you so much. You really are helping me a lot right now. I am so grateful." Jeongin beamed.
"Don't think about if pretty boy, now go have some rest. If you need me, my room is this one." Chan said, pointing to the right.
"Good night, Strawberry." Jeongin said with a smile, then entered his new room.
His room was big. King size bed, walk in closed and the bathroom was almost as big as the bedroom. He could live here forever.
Jeongin took a long hot bath, feeling his muscles relax final from so long.
He put on a shirt and shorts then went to bed. Losing himself in the softness and comfort that the bed gave him. Is it to sleep on a cloud he thought? Soon he drifted to sleep.

"You seem happy, Chan." Changbin said.
"Yeah, finally got my cherry on top." Chan said smiling.
"What? Cherry? Are you sure you are all right? Are you sane?" Hyunjin asked, whispering the last part, so Chan wouldn't hear him.
It was 3 AM and the tree of them were in the Livingroom, drinking. Studently someone entered the room.
"Ah, pretty boy, why are you awake?" Chan asked, patting the spot next to him.
"I am too tired to even sleep Strawberry. I haven't slept for a week, so a few hours are doing the work for now." The boy said sitting next to Chan.
Changbin and Hyunjin were shocked. Mouth slightly open from what they just heard. The boy sure was pretty, but he called Chan – Strawberry... and lived. That sure was a shock for them.
