🍷CHAPTER 9

CHAEYOUNG'S POV

I rested my head on the counter as I felt my temple throbbing.

It's 5am and I haven't slept ever since yeasterday. There was an event a few steps away from the store so a lot of costumers stopped by at dawn.

I'M EXHAUSTED!!

"Good morning beautiful rose!" My head rose upon hearing a certain voice who just entered the store. I gave him a small smile when our gaze met.

"God morning Chanyeol!" I tried to sound optimistic but yet sounded a little weak, I saw how his brow raised before walking up to me and placing his hand on my forehead, I was quite taken aback so i had to retreat my head.

"Yah! You're burning!"

"No it's okay... I have a few medicines with me" he looked at me, unsure. He sighed before getting inside the counter and pushing me out.

"I'll take your place then! Just until your morning sub arrives"

"N-No! I can manage, don't worry! There's only a few minutes left before he arrives so—"

"Nah! Really! I insist. I have nothing to do anyway. Plus, consider this as a helping hand, if you really don't want to owe me anything then I guess you can treat me to a meal next time" I really didn't want to to accept his offer but he was so stubborn and so I ended up going back to the mansion.

As soon as I went into the mansion, Nayeon who found out that I have a fever, grew worried. She nagged me non stop which I gladly reply with a smile.

For the first time in so many years, I didn't know being cared for was something that could bring comfort and joy.

Nayeon didn't allow me to do heavy works for the day and even insisted on doing my parts to let me rest, so I'm here in the room.

Stuck.

I heard my phone ringing so I gently slipped my way out of the duvet, grabbing my phone from my bag.

"Hello?"

[Hello? Is this the guardian of Park Hee-joon?]

"Yes... may I ask what's wrong?"

[I need you to come to school immediately, he's in trouble]

The line ended abruptly in which my heart started to fasten it's pace. I ran for my coat and bag before leaving the room.

"Y-Yah! Where are you going?! I TOLD YOU TO REST!"

I told Nayeon everything so she slightly calmed and assured me that she'll take my place while I was gone. I marched my way out of the gate, walking out of the village.

While I was busy waiting for a cab, a black luxurious car parked in front of me. I had to blink my eyes a few more times, making sure that I'm not dreaming or anything.

The young master was inside the car, peeping out of his car window.

"Are you in a hurry? Do you need a lift?" I bit my lip, unsure about my decision.

Should I accept his offer??!

"There's only a few cabs in this village since most people have cars..." He must've noticed my reaction. At the end, I ate up all my embarrassment and just accepted his offer.

My brother is my top priority.

"Seatbelt" he muttered which I instantly followed.

W-What's wrong with this seatbelt? Does this car have a different one?
