Eight Shots of Espresso | Na Jaemin

Epilogue

You stayed in the hotel for the past three days and you hadn't heard anything from the butler and Jae Sook. Not even Jaemin. They were still probably catching up about everything they had missed. Since you had nothing better to do, you decided to have a video call with Giselle.

"Hi! I missed you so much!"

"Girl! Oh my God! I missed you too! When are you coming back?"

"I still don't know yet. Haven't heard anything from Jaemin or his father."

"What if they will not let you return back here?"

"Then I'm another mouth to feed."

"You should really go back. Everyone is worried about you. The whole campus found out that you have a 'pneumonia' and you are currently in South Korea to get yourself treated. If only you could see their faces when I told them. Jisung cried and thought you're dying! His face was so hilarious I'll send you the photo later."

"Dang why did you make that kid cry? Mr. Na created such a dramatic excuse. Who would heal from pneumonia for a week? He must have assumed that I'll be staying here for a half a year. Anyway, I really wanted to see you. I miss you all so much."

"I miss you too. Take care, okay? Don't forget your coat when you're going out. Tell me all the details when you get back."

When the call ended, you lied on the bed only to be disturbed by a few urgent knocks on the door. You opened it without peeking through the peephole and you almost had a heart attack when you saw who it was.

Na Jaemin standing in front of your doorstep.

"What the fuck?!" you blurted out. "Oh, sorry. I mean, oh my God! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in the hospital! Don't tell me you escaped?"

Jaemin snickered. "As if I can escape that place without my father knowing!"

"Then why are you here? You're supposed to be resting."

Jaemin rolled his eyes. "I am well-rested already and I haven't drink even a droplet of coffee so I'm fine. Still a little bit weak but strong enough to give you a tour around the city."

"Well, that's good you're recovering---" you stopped mid-sentence when you realized what he had just said. "You're going to give me a tour around the city?" you asked incredulously.

He nodded. "I'm sure as hell you've been itching to stroll around and who else is perfect for the job to tour you but me? Now hurry up and get dressed. We've got a lot of places to be."

"Are you sure you'll be fine? I'm afraid you will collapse again."

"I'll collapse in this hallway if you will not come with me."

You could only roll your eyes. What Jaemin wants, Jaemin gets. "Fine, I'll be quick!"

You were so excited that you ended up knocking your stuff in hurry. Your hands were shaking and you almost gave up buttoning up your shirt before throwing a thick coat over it. When you were satisfied with your look, you opened the door and saw Jaemin leaning on the wall.

"Let's go," he said and smiled then offered you his hand, which made your heart race. You smiled back and intertwined your fingers together.

"Where are we going?" you asked as both of you stepped out of the hotel and was immediately met by the biting cold air. You instantly shivered and Jaemin wrapped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you closer.

"Anywhere you like," he said and smiled at you.

"We'll just visit the places around the hotel so we can get back right away," you suggested, not risking the fact that he was still recovering. He nodded at you and you eagerly walked beside him.
