Back to you

16: Unreachable Star

"Woah," the boys say in unison as soon as they enter the wine room. They quickly checked every rack while trying to decide which wine was the best.

"My dad also had a similar wine cellar too," Cheol said, checking some of the wines there.

"There are only a few wines here," she said, then pushed one of the wine racks that serves as a door towards the main cellar.

"I want one of the most expensive wines here," Shua said, looking so excited as the door slowly opened.

The boys eyes lit upon seeing the cellar, which has different kinds of wines and liquors. Each rack was labeled according to its kind.
"daebak!"

"This is crazy!"

"This is actually my first time seeing a wine cellar."

"Do you need a brother?"

"Let's get drunk, you all."

The boys simultaneously said what made them laugh.

"Please remind me that she's richer than us once she comes back to work as our nurse," Jun said, looking so amazed.

"Noona, are you a drunkard?" Hoshi said, which earned him a smack from the boys.

"Are you out of your mind?" Hao said, who couldn't believe what he just asked.

"You know my answer about that," she gave him a look, which Hoshi understood. Han, who has quite noticed it, had a plan come to his mind.

"I bought some of the wines and liquor here, but most of it came from sponsors, from the company's shareholders, and from grandpa," she said, taking one 1945 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from the rack and handing it to Shua.

"Guys, let's drink until the last drop of one of the most expensive red wines in the world," Shua said, and he smiled as he saw how the boys jaws dropped with what he just said.

"If you guys want some vodka, rum, whiskey, or anything, please feel free to take it," she said.

"Kaia, isn't it the same whiskey you gave to me for my father?" Cheol said, looking at the two bottles of Macallan.

"yeah"

"What? How about me?" Shua said, acting like he was hurt.

"You know you can always come here and know that I won't care even if you consume all of this, right? Stop being so dramatic and start choosing which one you would like to drink, or else your food will be cold," she hissed at Shua. On the other hand, the boys were more busy taking pictures than choosing what they wanted.

Cheol and Han decided to take some whiskey before asking the boys to head back so they could have dinner.

The boys looked so happy while singing and talking with each other. She couldn't help but feel warm when Han cooked chicken soup for her; it has been her comfort food ever since.

"Here. Take this once you are done eating," Han said, handing her pain reliever medicine.

"Thanks" is all she could say. Han then proceeded to talk with Hoshi and the boys, constantly checking on her.

"Hey, Cheol. Did he eat something or like bump his head?" she whispered to Cheol, who sat next to her too.

"Huh?" Cheol looked so confused.

"He suddenly became caring. I don't really understand him," she said.

"Maybe he realizes something," Cheol said. He grinned when he saw that she was dissatisfied with his response.

"You should take your medicine, noona," Hao said as he handed her a bottle of water that he had just opened.

"Thank you, Hao. You are not drinking?" she asked when she realized that Hao wasn't drinking.
