If I loved you

The cure for pain is in the pain

I was still struggling to digest the information when New came out of the room fully dressed in a new blue suit. Doesn't he have any other clothes? Why dressed so formal all the time!

New went back to the living room and called someone. Immediately after that two hotel staffs came and started to clear the mess. I moved away from the door and leaned against the table. The light was off but this part of the room, which was nearer to the large window, was bathed in moonlight. At a glance I found many business related papers on it. This room is messy. I think he spends all his time here. Workaholic! I sighed inwardly, afraid to make a sound.

If they somehow find out that I've been hiding here for so long, there could be big problems.

Fortunately no one entered this room. Hearing the sound, I understood that they were leaving after finishing the work.

I quietly went back and stood near the door. I saw that New was sitting on the sofa working on his laptop. This boy is always busy, either with his phone or something else. Then I remembered that he hasn't eaten anything yet......my heart started to hurt for him. Only if somehow I could take care of him.....

'Young master?'

Huh! That asshole is back! I rolled my eyes.

'Where is he?' New didn't look up but asked with sternness.

'I couldn't find him anywhere. His phone is also switched off.'

Are they looking for someone?

'Did he say anything to anybody? What was he doing here? It's strange for him to come all the way up here without any reason....'

'I am looking into that matter.'

'Mn.'

After witnessing their interaction I sighed in relief. His love is one-sided. New doesn't feel the same way about him, it's clear as day light.

Thank god!

Then again.... it's only natural. Afterall New doesn't like men. He told me himself...... thirteen years ago. I also don't stand a chance. I felt bitter in my heart.

'What do you want for dinner? I'll send someone to buy it.'

'Nothing. I'm not hungry. Make me a drink.'

Luke didn't say anything but stood there silently.

'What?' This time New looked up from his work.

'You should not drink on an empty stomach.'

'Don't worry. I'm not gonna die just from drinking some alcohol. If death wants to visit me, he has to wait in the corner. I am too busy to entertain him. Ha ha.'

'New!'

'Ah! What's wrong? From young master to straight New? Ha ha. You are really angry this time.. ha ha.' New was laughing his ass off.

What's so funny! I am angry too! Joking about death!

'I....am sorry.' Luke didn't smile at all.

'Ah! Don't be. We have known each other for so long. Calling me by my name is not a taboo.'

'Master's order.'

'Mn. Call me whatever you want but bring me my drink quickly. I need to work and I can't concentrate without it.'

'Why don't you try.....I'll be here for any assistance.'

'Luke......I am really tired tonight. Let's do that some other time.'

'Then eat something first.'

'Stop nagging. I'm really not in a mood.' This time New closed his laptop with a thud and got up from the sofa, annoyance written all over his face.
