Bodyguard | Heesun

Sunoo always thought himself to be someone that deals well with the consequences of his actions. He knows that, once something is done, to dwell on it is stupid, and to regret it is useless.

However, he can't help but not be too pleased with the decisions he made the night before, especially when he opens his eyes and his head feels like it's about to explode.

"Fuck," Sunoo groans as he turns around in bed to shield his eyes from the light that's coming in from his window.

Of course, he forgot to draw the curtains last night.

Actually, he's always very picky about that... Why did he forget?

How did he get home?

Suddenly, he starts to panic, because he can't remember past a certain point of the night—and that point isn't pretty. But when he looks around, he's relieved to see that he is home.

Jungwon probably brought him back, he thinks as he sits up in bed, now too hyperaware of the fact that he doesn't know what happened and it might lead to trouble.

His head pangs again and he turns to try and retrieve his phone from where he left it last night in his bedside table and he sees something, then.

A note.

It's next to a glass of water and a painkiller.

Sunoo reaches out to get it, smiling slightly thinking about how his best friend took the trouble to write him a note before he left, but when he picks it up, he sees it's not Jungwon's handwriting.

"I canceled all your schedules today so you can take time to rest. Take this pill if your head hurts in the morning along with your breakfast! (I saw that you had some food in the fridge). Let me know if you need anything.

And thank you for calling, hyung."

There are several drawings along the page, as if the one that wrote it took the extra time to be endearing, and it is. They are very endearing. There are some doodles of what looks to be an angry chibi-like Fluffy and also a sleepy deer that, something tells Sunoo that it's supposed to represent him.

His fans tend to use the tiger emoji for him, and it's then that Sunoo remembers that Heeseung told him that he admired him from before.

He can't help but let the color rise on his cheeks as he reads the note again, and he hates it.

One of the reasons why he went out hard last night was so he would forget about how affected he's starting to become by Heeseung's actions, and surely this doesn't help in the slightest.

And he could throw away the note and not think about it again, but truth is, the doodles are cute, so he decides to keep it just for the sake of the drawings.

Yes.

He opens one of the drawers of his bedside table and puts it in there, under his songwriting journal.

Sunoo drops himself back onto the mattress and groans. Fluffy barks slightly, and Sunoo knows he's judging him.

"I know, shut up," Sunoo covers himself with his duvet and tries to go back to sleep, but he can't. His heart is beating too fast, so he decides to get up, eat something and take the pill Heeseung left aside for him.

It's when he finally checks his phone that his heart sinks.

He's got a text from the CEO of the company.

from : CEO-nim — 9:00 a.m.
I want you in my office as soon as possible.

That is never good. It's funny that, most of their chat is exactly that because his boss never contacts him for anything else at this point, and most of their chats are never... good.
