"this is the suit mr. jisung will be wearing today. can you give it to him?"
a maid told me, while giving me the suit that looked like it costed more then my whole life.

I nodded, before walking towards jisung room.
we have been practicing his speech for a few days now, and I must say he remembers it very well.
I think he will do a good job today.
I will be there to support him.

I knocked on the door of his room, and when I heard 'come in!' through the door, I walked inside, seeing jisung sitting on his bed, going trough the speech.

"well hello there my little champagne boy."
I said with a smile, closing the door behind me.

"champagne boy?"
jisung chuckled.

"mhm. just in a few hours you will be holding a champagne and telling a speech."
I told him, kissing his forehead.
"I got the suit for you."

he sighed.
"don't even remind me, or I'm just gonna jump from a window."

I chuckled, before laying the suit on the bed.
"it's gonna be okay. we went through the speech million times, and I'm sure you know it by heart."

"of course I do. 'hello, my name is han jisung and I'm the heir of the han group. I am very honored that I can stand here and give this speech at this important event. it's also a huge honor that the han group is a part of this event. I want to thank the organizers for this beautiful decorations, and for inviting us. the han group has been involved in this program since 2003, and it's been a joy to work with all of you. I hope that we have a lot of years of success in front of us, and amazing collaboration. the han group will continue to use its assets for the better of this project. thank you for your time, and for your attendance.' see? I know it perfectly."

"then what are you worried about then?"
I asked, sitting down next to him.

"it's a lot different to say this to you, or to myself, and a huge crowd of people. I...I'm worried I will mess it up."

"you won't, I'm sure of that. and even if you did, I will love you anyways. you will be my little dummy."
I told him, gently caressing his hair.

"dad won't be happy if I mess it up tho."
he sighed, burying his head in his knees.

"oh fuck him, don't think about him, and about what he might think. just think about me, and about my words, okay?"
I said, giving him a reassuring smile.

he nodded, giving me a small smile.

"now go change into the suit, we have like half an hour before we have to leave."

the car ride was overwhelming, very long in my opinion. especially when I had panicked jisung sitting next to me.
I was holding his hand the entire time, but I didn't think it helped that much.

arriving to the event, I was separated from jisung almost instantly, since his father immediately dragged him into the crowd of people, and I was forced to stand in a place where all the guards, bodyguards, and servants were.
it's not my first and definitely not my last time standing here, but I don't like it. sometimes it's interesting tho, last time a random ass dude was telling me how to start a car with cables.
might try it someday you know?

anyway, even tho I couldn't be next to jisung, I made sure I always knew where he was. I saw on his face he was uncomfortable as fuck, and he tried really hard to be polite with all this strange people.

the time feels like it's stuck whenever I'm standing here, because I can't play block blast to get trough these events, so even tho it's been like half an hour, I already feel like I have been standing here for seven hours. I actually hate being bodyguard. I might just become jisung's husband you know?

I would like that actually.
I think.
just imagine that, me and my jisung, in some small village, three cats, married.
maybe we could adopt a kid someday.
why the fuck am I thinking about this? it's not like we're dating anyway.

surprisingly, thinking about this weird situation between me and my jisung actually speeds up the time, because suddenly, all of the guests were making their way to their assigned seats.

oh shit, it's almost here, right?
jisungs speech.

I looked at him, and I could see the panic and fear in his eyes.
oh I wish I could hug him and get him away from all of this.

the organizador came on the stage and said some words that I actually didn't pay any attention to.
until he said the name of my love.

"and now, i give the word to the future of han group, han jisung."
the organizador said, walking away, and I saw jisung get up and unsurely make his way to the microphone.

I saw his hands shaking as he grabbed it, and I could see his eyes frantically moving around the room.
he was looking for me.
but unfortunately, he couldn't see me, because the light was on him, practically blinding him, and also making it quite impossible to see the faces of other people.

I saw him panic even more, and his breath getting quicker. all I wanted to do was to run up to him, and let him know that he's okay, and that I'm here.

but I made that thought happen when I saw jisung falling down on the floor, unconscious.

A/N:
I actually thought I will finish this chapter yesterday, but then I was watching some Italian series on Netflix with my mom, it was torture actually, no likable characters and I was actually whining the entire time about how hard is it to watch, but it was interesting...so....thats that😃
