Healer (A Chanyeol Short Story)

Chapter 6 - Wedding

A few weeks passed, Nari slowly getting used to her new job working at Chanyeol's house. She actually began to not hate it. Ever since that day she spent with Chanyeol, she started not to hate him as much either. They still weren't that close and didn't really get along, but it wasn't dreadful seeing him. They stayed out of each other's way most of the time anyway. She felt her body getting slightly weaker, and she was in really bad pain most of the time, but she figured that was just her getting used to it. When it came down to the secret, she was able to get away with her just simply being a housekeeper and leaving the part out about being Chanyeol's healer to Gong Joo and Dom. Her father was also oblivious, not putting in enough effort to actually care about where she went every day.

Nari was currently at the cafe, helping clean off the tables with a damp rag. She turned her attention to Dom who was kneeling under one of the tables with a disgusted expression, whining as he scraped a few pieces of gum off the bottom of the table.

"Why do people do this?" he complained, making small crying noises.

Nari couldn't help but to let out a small giggle, putting her hand over her mouth so it wasn't noticeable.

Dom turned his attention over to her, his disgusted expression turning to a small glare. "You try doing this!" he whined.

Nari shook her head. "No thank you."

Dom scoffed before continuing to pry the gum from under the table, mumbling complaints under his breath.

Nari smiled, her gaze lingering on Dom for a few seconds before turning her attention towards her phone that started buzzing. She took it out of her pocket and looked at the caller ID, seeing it was Leigha.

She looked at the phone for a few seconds, wondering why she was calling, before answering it. "Hello?"

She heard Leigha's mellifluous voice. "Nari! Sorry for the sudden call. I would like to ask you something."

She sounded excited, making Nari slightly anxious. "What is it?"

"Our family is invited to a wedding this Saturday. Would you like to come?" she offered.

Nari was surprised, not understanding why she would want her to come to such an event. "But that's tomorrow..."

"I'm know it's such short notice," Leigha added. "But I would love it if you came."

Not even an explanation... "Well... I guess I could." Nari said uneasily.

"Great! I'll have Chanyeol come pick you up tomorrow at eleven!" Leigha beamed, immediately hanging up.

"I-" Nari stopped, removing the phone from her ear to see that Leigha had hung up.

Nari scoffed, wondering why people are always catching her off guard like this. "I don't even have a dress..."

Gong Joo, overhearing Nari's conversation, walked over to her from behind. "What was that about?"

Nari lifted her head up quickly to face her. "Oh... I've been invited to a wedding."

Gong Joo's face lit up. "You have? Whose wedding?"

Nari blinked, taking a moment. "I... don't know."

Gong Joo stared at Nari. "You got invited to a wedding for someone you don't even know?"

Nari put her phone back in her pocket, nodding. "Apparently so." she chuckled.

Gong Joo followed Nari as she went to the back counter. "Who invited you?"

Nari leaned against the counter. "Chanyeol's mom."
