🍷CHAPTER 8

CHAEYOUNG'S POV

I gently opened my eyes and was soon greeted by a manly scent.

HUH!?

I jolted from where I was lying down before getting off the large bed.

WHERE AM I?

Gray painted walls.

Slightly messy table.

White king sized bed.

And the smell of misty wood-like scent.

I came home with the young master last night...

I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!

"Oh? You're awake" I flinched on my spot when a manly voice suddenly came out of nowhere. I almost felt like melting when his gaze met mine, I wanted to just run away and leave but it would be rude and he might just shot my head without me knowing.

"U-Umm...If you don't mind young master—how did I end up here?" I mentally face palmed myself upon hearing myself stutter. "You were in deep sleep last night so I couldn't bring myself to wake you up so I just brought you here instead. Sorry for not getting your permission, I slept on the other room anyway" H-He what?

I can't believe I stole his room from him!

"I'm really really sorry that you have to lend me your room" panicking, I kept on bowing to show that I'm really sorry for my actions. "Nah! It's okay!" The room grew silent after his reply. I had to look around to atleast lessen the awkwardness I am currently feeling.

My attention diverted on the bruise located on his cheek. I forgot about it last night since I had a lot on my mind.

"W-Would you like me to ice your face and wrist for you? I-I mean... atleast I can repay with letting me sleep in your room—I-If you don't want to! It's okay—"

"Sure, I don't mind" he cut my words when he noticed how I mentally panicked because of my offer.

Why did I offer such thing?!

"I'll go get the ice pack then..." I muttered before leaving his room. My hands made it's way to my head as soon as I reached the stairs. I still can't believe I did that!

As soon as I finished preparing the ice pack, I headed back to his room. I even had to fix myself before going back since I didn't want to look like a bird who just got out of the shell.

I had to blink thrice when I saw him sitting comfortably on the swivel chair, he was wearing casual clothes while browsing on his phone.

He's real?!

"Are you just going to stand there?" I almost fell down because of his remark but soon started fixing myself. He sat on the edge of his bed which I gladly followed too. I was embarrassed but still managed to gently place the ice pack on his cheek.

I decided to initiate a conversation, even though it's not on my nature to start one.

Oh God! Please don't make me stutter...

"W-Where did you get this bruises? I mean...if you don't mind me asking"

"Some random dude in the street punched me yesterday...so I punched him back" I bit my lip knowing how much I hated violence. Something inside me twitched upon imagining the scene.

Violence is something that I feared and hated at the same time.

"You should've just called the police..." I advised but he snickered in return which made me frown.

What's wrong with what I said?

"It's just a simple fight, no need for the police. If you were in my situation, would you call them?" I nodded my head as a reply without hesitation.

"A simple fight you say but it's still violence..."

"You hate violence that much?" I looked at him in the eye before giving him a faint smile.

"Violence destroyed my life... and I swore to never get involved with it ever again" I felt him froze but soon managed to relax. He stayed silent and just let me do my work.

"I think that's enough, please do another cold compress later" I smiled, letting him know that I'm slightly used to his presence.

I looked back at him when I remembered what I wanted to say at first.

"S-Sir? I am truly grateful for what you have done yesterday but I hope that this will not happen in the future... You see...I get paid the same as the other workers and it is absolutely wrong for me to take a rest while the others are working hard. My mom always told me to play fair and square and I do believe it applies on jobs too. If you'll excuse me, I will now take my leave"

The side of his lips rose before nodding his head.

I huffed some air upon reaching the kitchen. I had to gather all my courage for those words!

"Yah!! I saw you coming out from the master's bedroom! Why were you there?!?!" I hurriedly covered Nayeons' mouth when she came out of nowhere which made me flinch. "You're so loud..." she glared at me before pulling away and acted like as if she was wiping the counter.

"So why were you there?" She asked, a little softer than earlier.

"I just helped the young master with something" she squinted her eyes, eyeing me from head to toe like as if she was examining my whole existence.

"I sense something... and I can see it coming" I followed her figure after she told me those words and walked away

"Huh? You're weird"

AUTHOR'S POV

Jimin forcefully closed his office door, startling Baekhyun and the others inside the room. He absentmindedly grabbed one of the cigarette in the table before placing it on his lips in which he froze.

"I thought you quit smoking dude?" Baekhyun asked upon seeing Jimin. "Fuck!" He muttered under his breath before taking out the cigarette on his mouth and crumbled it onto the floor.

The boys stayed alert as they watch Jimin sit down on his swivel chair.

"No sht—I WON! FUCK YOU RETARDS!" A loud cheer echoed the whole room when Baekhyun dropped his cards on the table with a grin on his face. DO and Yoongi disregarded it before throwing their keys on top of the table in which Baekhyun gladly took.

"Nice game people—"

"She's driving me insane!" The whole room turned silent when Jimin spoke out of nowhere.

"Who?" Namjoon asked, placing down the book he was reading when he became interested with the topic.

"Park Chaeyoung is driving me insane..." Namjoon grinned upon connecting the dots. The others snickered, knowing that Jimin is actually having a problem with a girl.

'Violence destroyed my life... and I swore to never get involved with it ever again'

Those words kept on ringing in Jimin's head as he gaze outside the gigantic glass window.

"What should I do?"

'I live through violence'.
