Hindrance | Haobin

chapter 17

he heard noise of cars honking and understood hanbin or his parents must be home, he ran to the entrance and opened the door and went out, hao saw hanbin getting out of the car, he just did what he felt like at the moment.

He ran to hanbin and hugged him while burying his face in his chest, this action made hanbin baffled, he didn't know what to do.

Hanbin- w.what-

Hao- please... just let me stay like this

Hanbin became quiet and slowly brought his arms to rest on hao's back. The whole series of events that took place was overwhelming for hao, he needed this embrace.

After a good amount of time, hao felt peaceful and let go of hanbin.

Hanbin- what happened?

Hao- nothing, sorry about that. I was not thinking straight.

Just then,

Jaeho- oh hanbin you're back, are you done with work in office?

Hanbin- ah uncle, yes I'm done with my work. Did you come back early?

Jaeho- right I did, the work was relatively faster. By the way how did you hire zhang hao?

Hanbin- what do you mean?

Jaeho- I mean, he seems closer to you guys and does things unlike other staff.

Hanbin looked at hao and back to jaeho

Hanbin- he's just new that's why, he'll learn how to be like others soon enough, don't worry uncle.

Jaeho- good then. I have something to do, I'll be back later.

Hanbin- okay.

After jaeho left hanbin and hao went inside, hao was about to get back to his work, but

Hanbin- hao, I don't know what you did but refrain from exposing yourself atleast.

Hao just looked at him blankly and left, hanbin sighed and went to his room.

Hao went to the kitchen and found sora making lunch. He went beside her to ask something.

Hao- sora, you've been working here the longest right?

Sora- yes, why?

Hao- how are hanbin's parents? I mean are they good or behave strange.

Sora- from my experience they are always aware of what they're doing and very conscious about maintaining their image so they never behaved immorally though. Why do you ask?

Hao- nothing. Just wanted to know that's it. You can go I'll handle here, please clean hanbin's room, I haven't cleaned it yet.

Sora nodded and gave the kitchen work to hao and left to clean hanbin's room.

Hao was in deep thinking while doing his work, what did those documents and those packets mean? What was going on in this mansion? What are they hiding? Does hanbin know this? His mind was wandering and accidentally hurt his finger while chopping vegetables. He sighed and went to wash it and cleaned it with first aid kit.

He was about to get back on his work when he heard sora calling him, he went to her.

Sora- young master wants you to clean the room this time.

Hao was puzzled,

Hao- me?

Sora nodded and said yes.

Hao sighed and went upstairs and knocked on hanbin's room and went in when he heard come in. hanbin was laying on the bed with his tablet in his hand.

Hao- why do you want me to clean your room?

Hanbin- sora already does so much of work for her age, you still have your hands and legs intact.

Hao glared at him and started to clean his room, his finger was stinging badly due to the cut but he ignored it and continued to work. Hanbin stood up and went to take his bottle when he noticed a drop of blood on the floor.

Hanbin- hao, stop. Come here.

Hao came to him, hanbin noticed the bandage on his finger and took his hand in his.

Hanbin- what is this? How did you get hurt?

Hao- while cooking.

Hanbin- you're never careful about your surroundings, are you?

He dragged hao and made him sit on the bed ad went to grab the first aid kit, he came back and took hao's hand and gently cleaned his cut and cleanly bandaged it.

Hanbin- don't clean or work anymore, let your finger heal, okay?

Hao looked at him and was confused as to why he's suddenly caring about him.

Hao- hanbin do you have personality disorder?

Hanbin frowned "no, why?"

Hao- you switch your personality faster than a girl in periods.

Hanbin chuckled, hao was staring at him. He looks so handsome when he smiles... hao was so lost that hanbin had to snap his fingers.

Hanbin- down to earth? Take a picture it'll last longer

Hao- *scoff* who wants to look at you, you look like a mouse drained in rain.

Hanbin was in disbelief.

Hanbin- what did you say, you shortass peanut.

Hao- wtf? Peanut?

Hanbin- wtf? Mouse?

They started laughing at each other, it was only for a moment before they heard the doorbell ring.

Hao stood up but was suddenly pulled down, hanbin held his wrist and pulled him back to bed.

Hanbin- where are you going?

Hao- someone ringed the bell, didn't they? Let me go see who it is.

Hanbin- it's okay sora will attend to it.

Hao- aiya let me go.

Hanbin sighed and let go of him,

Hanbin- I'll come down too.

Hao nodded and they went downstairs. Sora's voice could be heard saying young master is busy. A high pitched female voice could be heard saying she wants to meet hanbin.

Hanbin came to the door and froze.

RUBY?
