Once A Park : Cry For Love

The House Help

Baekhyun drifted in and out of consciousness. When he reached his bed after coming out painfully from Chanyeol's room, he let his wrecked body fell into the soft mattress. He dreamt of so many dreams. Some were vivid and some were vague. He felt hot but cold most of the time. He dreamt of his friends, his father and Yeri. He dreamt of Chanyeol and his mother too. Most of his dreams made him cried. He dreamt of his mother tending his wounds, soothing him with words that everything will be alright. He remembers telling her that he feels cold and was enveloped in a hug but the feeling and familiarity is not like of his mother. It is more like the comfort he felt when he and Chanyeol slept together the night he decided to ruin both their lives. The addictive scent of his husband is too real in Baekhyun's drowsy mind. He tried to open his eyes and saw a sleeping Chanyeol besides him enveloping him in a loose hug.

What a perfect dream. Baekhyun cannot fight the heaviness of his eyelids and succumb again into dreamland.

Baekhyun wakes up in a bright room, he feels lightheaded as he sit slowly in his bed, wondering to himself how long he's been sleeping. He looks at the alarm clock on the side table that stating two 'o clock in the afternoon.

I slept that long? He takes time to examine his body and noticed the plaster on his right hand. He noticed too that he is not wearing the same clothes last night.

" Oh! You're awake!" Baekhyun's eyes landed on a woman standing at his bedroom door.

" Who are you?! What are you doing in our house? " Baekhyun tried to stand up but fell fast when pains start shooting from different parts of his body. Ouch!

The woman rushed to his side and tried to support him to lay down in bed.

" My name is Min-ah! I'm from the Park mansion. Sir Chanyeol asked to send some help so they sent me here. I'm happy to serve you, Sir Baekhyun. " Min-ah is smiling brightly while introducing herself and Baekhyun can't help but to smile back despite of the pain he is currently feeling right now.

" Nice to meet you, Min-ah! I'm Baekhyun and please don't call me sir. It makes me feel uncomfortable." Baekhyun is wondering to himself why Chanyeol suddenly asked for a helper. His husband doesn't live here and even before , Baekhyun believes he managed the house and the house works quite well while studying and having part time jobs.

" You must be very hungry. You've been sleeping for almost two days now. " Min-ah took the thermometer that laying on the bed side table and put it in Baekhyun's ear.

" What do you mean two days? It just last night... "

" I arrived here yesterday afternoon. A doctor visited you too and put you on a drip because your body is too weak and you had fever. He came again this morning to checked on you and removed your drip. He said you will be fine, just need to eat more and take a few more days to rest. " Min-ah explained to him and showed him the number flashing on the thermometer small screen.

" 37.8 degree Celsius. Just a low grade fever now." She said and headed to the coffee table by the window and take from there a glass of water for Baekhyun. He drinks it in one go for he was very thirsty.

" I will get you something to eat. I cooked a chicken porridge for you. And maybe some fruits. " Min-ah bowed and headed to the door.

" Where is Chanyeol? " Baekhyun dared to ask.

" Sir Chanyeol went to work this morning. " Min-ah bowed again and left his room.

As soon as Min-ah reached the bottom of the stairs she took her cellphone out and sent a message to Chanyeol.

Sir Baekhyun is awake,sir.
