My bad guys, took a lil break but it was not for nothing, I'm planning to one try to increase chapter sizes to around 4k words hopefully as well as try to improve the readability and add some more images in. I want to up the quality big time for everyone fr.
So after I upload this chapter I'll start actually planning plot instead of going in and thinking as I write so it should be more well thought out and a little more clean.
As always hope you enjoy the chapter :)

It was a long night, but Rachel managed to get (Y/N) comfortable, she stayed over, eventually passing out as he slept on her. She was broken up at the sight of him, but she couldn't help but feel warm knowing she was able to have such a good influence on him.
"Hey sleepyhead, it's time to wake up..." she uttered softly as she gently shook (Y/N)'s shoulder watching as his eyes slowly opened and he rubbed the sleep from them. "There he is, good morning"
(Y/N) yawned, a small sound passing from his lips as he did so.
"Morning... you didn't need to stay y'know" He said this with uncertainty, Rachel could tell he was grateful for her presence by the way he was looking at her alone. She could never have left him in the state he was in last night. God knows what would've happened.
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
As thanks for Rachel taking care of him, (Y/N) cooked some breakfast, of course he had to make bacon and eggs, emphasis on the eggs because in his words he was "bulking" (comfort eating). Rachel couldn't help but laugh as she watched him crack egg after egg into the pan, eventually intervening before the whole carton was gone.
Although they ate in silence, they understood each other exactly, (Y/N) needed to relax for today, so he was granted a small day off to recover from yesterday's events. Not that he wanted to, but you can't really argue with your boss when he's demanding you take rest. Plus, Mr Seong was made aware of the situation too, and would be arriving shortly to check in on his clien... He was more than a client at this point. For the first time in his career as a manager, Mr Seong had developed a deeper bond with a client.
(Y/N) was more like a nephew than anything. And right now, his nephew needed his support.
Soon enough, there was a knock at the door and it swung open, Mr Seong, masking a pant after running up the stairs walked calmly into the kitchen, relieved to see that (Y/N) looked better.
"How are you feeling (Y/N)? You can be honest." Mr Seong was fairly blunt about this, but he meant well, something that didn't go unnoticed by the pair sat with mouthfuls of eggs. (Y/N) had left the extra eggs on a separate plate, sliding it over to his manager unsure of wether he had eaten yet or not. Gulping down his food quickly to respond (Y/N) gave the information requested.
"I feel a but better... I'm hurt but I kind of get it... plus Rachel helped make me feel a little less abandoned." (Y/N) gave a sad smile as he took another bite of his egg. Rachel pushing hers around her plate as she listened to the boy before taking another bite herself.

After breakfast, Mr Seong insisted on washing up. (Y/N) wasn't dumb, how could he refuse having the dishes done for him. Both of the adults present were still worried, they had tried to convince (Y/N) to call his mother, but he refused and they couldn't blame him. Still, it was sad watching him detaching from someone who he had idolised his entire life. But they knew he would forgive her eventually, it was just a matter of when really.
(Y/N) went for a shower, and following suit, Rachel went to shower after he had dried off and gotten dressed. Since Rachel and Mr Seong wanted him to relax, they figured taking him out for some fun could help him take his mind off things a little. Away from the cameras for once.
Mr Seong even picked out some clothes for him to wear.

Loose, comfortable and surprisingly stylish, (Y/N) didn't know the man who only wore suits and ties would know how to dress. But then again, he had worked with many celebrities so it really shouldn't have been so surprising.
"Give us a twirl" Rachel giggled out as (Y/N) walked out the room, the laughing only getting louder as (Y/N) obliged the request, giving and exaggerated spin to show off his outfit, something which Rachel took a quick video of, for personal keeping of course, she did send him the video though, as the pair had done since meeting each other so they could share the memories.
Soon, they departed however, the trio heading down to Mr Seong's personal car, a more subtle black Hyundai Tuscan, which they all piled into.
They drove into the city centre, parking in a high-rise parking lot and began walking around. They stopped in some stores, (Y/N) buying some clothes and stuff for his dorm, he loved the decor but wanted a little touch of his own style in there, buying a new rug and some bedsheets as well as some other stuff, which they carried back to the car before continuing.
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
Eventually, they arrived at the first planned location. An arcade. They bought credits for the machines and slowly worked their way around, starting with a racing game. They all tried to sabotage eachother, and for the first time, (Y/N) saw Mr Seong actually relax and enjoy himself. They all laughed together, eventually the game ended however, Me Seong in first after dodging all attempts at sabotage, Rachel in 7th and (Y/N) dead last, too concerned with messing everyone else up with power ups and bumps.
Next was a dance machine, they took turns dancing to songs, (Y/N) being the best, mainly due to the unfair advantage of professional training, however Rachel was no pushover, she was close to taking the lead, but messed up her streak last minute, Mr Seong wasn't so lucky, he had two left feet.
They went around some of the claw machines, winning some plushies, all of which were given to Rachel, besides one. A snow leopard toy which she had won for (Y/N), which he kept a firm grip on until they returned to the car.
After a few hours in the arcade, they moved on to a karaoke bar, where they performed a range of songs. Ranging from Mr Seong's rendition of "Bad" by Michael Jackson, Rachels winning performance of Little Mix's "Secret love song" and (Y/N)'s "Bonkers" by dizzee rascal, a true UK classic.
After leaving the Karaoke bar, the trio went for a drive. Not going anywhere in particular, just enjoying the company and listening to music on low. (Y/N) could've sworn he saw Rachel giving Mr Seong the eyes. Gross. They drove around until the street lights were the only things lighting the road, striking up conversations with each other as they went, but eventually the night ended, Mr Seong couldn't drive tired so he started the path home.
•❅───✧❅✦❅✧───❅•
The night came to an end, Mr Seong dropped (Y/N) home with his new stuff, before taking Rachel home to her apartment. Leaving the young boy with his thoughts, finally facing the pressing issue before him as he placed his new belongings by the door.
