The Binding Angel || Tzukook

7

It was 1 AM and she couldn't sleep waiting for her CEO to come and pick up his daughter who had slept soundlessly long time a ago. Tzuyu patted Yeojin's thigh lightly to put her into a deep sleep on Tzuyu's bed. The CEO didn't call her since then, which made her even worrier, she checked the clock on the wall, frowning. The phone which was put on the bedside table vibrated and made Tzuyu turn her head to the bedside, slowly taking the phone to see the one who called her past midnight.

The screen showed that 'Daepyonim' name widened her eyes, sighing in relief. She slowly woke up and took small steps away from her bed not to wake Yeojin up. She picked up the phone after she reached the front side of her small house.

"Hello, Daepyonim."

"Hello, Tzuyu-ssi." The unfamiliar voice talked on the other side of the phone. "I am the called driver who had been phoned by the owner, I can't ask him, he is already knocked out. The phone owner is drunk so bad and I don't know, 'where is Yeojin' I am sorry but I just scrolled the latest person he called..."

"Ahh... it's fine, ahjussi. Yeojin is with me. You can bring him to my house." She answered worriedly. Tzuyu mentioned her address fast. Right after she hung the phone up, she took her blazer and her purse leaving the house.

She waited for her CEO in front of her house patiently in case the driver couldn't be reached her house. After almost thirty minutes of waiting, the black SUV car appeared not far from the place she was standing. The car slowly moved forward, searching for the right address. Her hand waved to the car knowing that it was her CEO's car. The car accelerated towards her and stopped right on her side. The side window was opened slowly and a young man who must be the called driver greeted her.

"Excuse me, Chou Tzuyu-ssi?" the man asked to confirm her identity.

"I am Chou Tzuyu." she nodded. "Can you park the car over there?" she pointed to the empty warehouse which had a wide space for the car to be parked in.

"Sure." the man parked the car in front of the place she pointed in. Tzuyu followed the car from behind.

The man who had parked the car opened the backseat door and there he was lying helplessly, mumbling unclearly words. The man helped Jungkook to stand up and Tzuyu closed the door before following the man. Tzuyu put the other arm and walked beside Jungkook.

Right after they reached Tzuyu's house, the man put him on the floor near the main door. CEO's back against the wall as there was no sofa in her house. She paid for the call driver and closed the door in a hurry. The strong smell of alcohol poked her nose as she waved her hand in front of her nose.

"Yeo...jin. Dad has come," he mumbled with his eyes shut. Tzuyu's hand gripped his arms after seeing his body was ready to fall on the floor. The close distance between her and him tickled her heart suddenly. It was beating so hard until the voice of her heart deafened her ear. The sudden grip of Tzuyu surprised him until his eyes slowly opened but still being tipsy.

"Oh.Tzuyu-ssi." Jungkook giggled and tried to set his back against the wall again. Tzuyu helped him to walk to the bedroom, so he could take a rest. He stood up wobbly and his body fully fell on Tzuyu's small body while his head fell on her shoulder.

"Tzuyu-ssi." Jungkook lifted his head until his nose closed their gap touching Tzuyu's. His eyes stared deeply at Tzuyu's, showing his untold story behind them. The bloodshot red, pain, and remorse united in his stifled tears.

"Tzuyu-ssi...It's a relief that it was you." Jungkook hiccuped and laughed soundlessly while his hand suddenly grabbed Vivienne Westwood Necklace on her necklace. Tzuyu can't fully understand what he was trying to say. The strong alcohol smell couldn't be hidden from him also he was not in a normal state.

"Daepyonim." her voice suddenly turned him into a serious one.

"Tzuyu-ssi... I am tired." Jungkook said in his drunken state seriously. His head fell again on her shoulder snuggling to find his comfort. Tzuyu who felt that her blazer slightly being wet, froze up hearing that sentence. Her heartbeat increased drastically, flowing its blood to her face giving flushed red color on her cheeks. Gingerly, she put her hand caressing his back lightly and tried coaxing him. Tzuyu's heart beat harder when she touched his back. He was the first man she coaxed with. The story of him amused her and saddened her at the same time.

"It would be fine...." Tzuyu coaxed her drunken CEO.

"someday..." Tzuyu added after pausing for a while.

"I am tired..." Jungkook cried releasing his stress.

"I need help.." Jungkook sobbed weakly on her shoulder. Tzuyu caressed his back slowly, keeping the silence and giving him a chance to let out his burden.

Seeing her CEO's helpless condition was far from her imagination. The most perfect and reliable one who still needed someone to throw his grudges up. Of course, he had many things to be handled by himself which must be harder for a single father that also led a big company. Suddenly, his sobbing stopped and his head slowly lifted still drunken. His hands were still grabbing Tzuyu's arms, finding his balance.

"No... I don't need help...hehhehehe I can uhm urggghhh." Jungkook threw up on her blazer even before finishing his sentence and messed the whole thing up.

-----------------

Jungkook woke up with the worst pain in his head. His hand grabbed his hair tightly to lessen his throbbed pain. His back of him felt the hard thing that was just covered with a thin blanket that hurt his back badly. Slowly, he woke up and turned his head to see that he slept on the floor that night. The blanket which covered him, slipped until it reach his waist. The sudden cold made him nod his head which showed his shirtless upper body.

"Aisshh." Jungkook bit his lower lip, thinking that he might do something last night. He lifted his blanket and peeked with one of his eyes scared that he did something wrong last night.

"Hufff..." Jungkook exhaled in relief seeing his boxer still wrapped around his waist. It was better than he thought. He didn't do something that would mess him up more.

He turned his head to the right and found a single bed with pink accessories on it and his daughter's blanket was folded on top of it. He thought that he must be in Tzuyu's house. His eyes caught a clock that showed 11 AM. He woke up and searched for the restroom. He needed to clean himself after smelling his body which smell like a suck. There was no one in the house other than him.

His steps brought him to the dining table which was located not far from the bedroom. The house was small enough to be lived with. His eyes roamed the place and suddenly found a note on the dining table which had a bowl of hangover soup.

'Daepyonim.

I'm sorry, Daepyonim. I am going to the hospital with Yeojin, Kang has called me this early morning.

In case you would wake up before I'm home, I made a hangover soup for you. I have put a towel and new clothes in the bathroom, in case you want to clean yourself up.

-Chou Tzuyu-'

The written note tugged his lips into a smile. He turned his head to the nearest door which was one meter beside the dining table. He was stunned by the place.

"She might live her life hard," Tzuyu mumbled before entering the bathroom.
