My Fate || JeongChan FF

Chapter 5

Jeongin's POV

'Wake up, Jeongin!' my concience shouts at me. Another day of having to go to work.

But my body felt very tired and drained for some reason. On top of that, my head hurt. My writing hand was painful, as if I had been cut by something. The moment I opened my eyes, I felt the light hurt my eyes and I saw a bandage on my hand.

It took me a brief moment to open my eyes clearly. I took note of my surroundings and realized that I wasn't in my room. Then where in hell was I?

The room was big and painted in a beautiful cream-white colour. There stood a large mirror a few feet next to a door that seemed to lead into a walk-in closet. And a few more feet from that, there was a white dressing table that had the same coloured cousion sitting chair in front of it. The room was really pretty with the sunlight coming in through the spring-white curtains, but I still wondered where I was. The room was very unfamiliar to me at all. Basically, let's just say that the room looked like a very fancy hotel room.

Suddenly I heard a gentle knock on the door.

I was starting to get afraid. I was afraid that maybe the same thing that has happened to me before is happening again. I was afraid that whoever was behind that door would harm me for sure.

Before I knew it, the door creaked open. I immediately pretended to still be in deep slumber when the person came in.

"You're still sleeping, Jeongin?", the person asked. I knew this voice. The low male tone, that unmistakable Aussie acsent. I knew for certain that this was my boss. Mr Bahng!

I heard his footsteps slowly getting closer. Then I felt the side of the bed dip as, I assumed, he sat down on the bed.

I felt my heart pounding out of fear as I was expecting him to touch me, or something like that. Maybe worse. But he wasn't doing anything to me. All he said was, "You look really cute when you're asleep", which made me feel a little less scared and made my cheeks feel like they were heating up for some reason.

He gently nudged me and shook my body to wake me up. I obviously pretended to rise from my so called 'deep slumber' and slowly opened my eyes.

I was extremely exosted and my body just hurt.

The moment I looked at him, our eyes met. He had a small gentle smile on his face. "How are you feeling?"

I blinked a few times before I looked away and replied, "I'm fine, sir. But... what happened yesterday? Where am I? Why am I here?"

"You really don't remember what happened last night?"

"No, everything is just a big... blur." Really, I tried hard to recollect the memory of yesterday's afternoon, but nothing came to my mind. The only thing I could remember was the fact that I had to take Sungmi to see the doctor for her appointment. Then after that... Nothing.

"Jeongin, you fainted at work yesterday when it was time to leave. If I hadn't gone in there to save you, then I don't know what would've happened to you."

Now I remembered. I was trapped in there when Mr Jeon and I went to look for a certain file that- according to him- Mr Bahng needed urgently. I don't want to be jumping into conclusions here, but I started to think that Mr Jeon was the one that got me stuck in that situation.

"How'd you even get stuck in there?"

"I-I don't know..." I lied.

"Really?" He questioned."Are you sure you're not lying?"

I nodded. I looked at Mr Bahng; his blond hair laid slightly messy and his appearance seemingly very sweet and friendly without the suit he wears nearly everytime. He looked... calm and sweet in normal clothes.
