IMMORTAL CYBORG || LEE HONGBIN

CHAPTER 9

They spent their times around Seoul and started to know each other's life. They also went to the place where they got to see a nice view of Seoul which she decided to take a photo of it for her assignments.

Click, click

Hongbin took a picture of her secretly using his camera. Looking at how she enjoyed the day happily made him smiled and delighted. "Heeyoung-ah, let me take a picture of you, pose prettily." He asked her and started to take her pictures.

"Do I look good sunbae?" She asked from afar when suddenly she sneezed due to cold weather, damn why must she got sick on this nice day, she kept sneezing until he decided to hug and bring her to the nearest indoor place. He caressed her back concernedly.

"I'm glad you're not wearing short skirt,or dress in this cold weather. Are you really okay? Is today not a suitable day to go out?" Hongbin let her took a sit and knelt in front of her. Her nose already turned red and she also got teary eyes since she sneezed too much.

"I'm always like this sunbae, I cannot stand with extreme weather. But its fine to go out but I need to limit myself..Is there any hot drinks here? I think I'll be fine if I drink something hot.." She wiped her nose with a tissue and he looked around.

"Yeah I see a cafe sign nearby, can you wait here for a while, there's a heater beside you so you can warmn yourself, I'll be back." He stroked her hair and gave her his hot pack before he went to the nearby cafe. She nodded and watched he walked away.

"He's so macho.." She smiled crazily before she started to sneeze again. She closed her eyes as she started to calm herself as the heater was working very well to her before her phone started to ring.

Handsome Tea Meat. (Cha means tea in korean, Eunwoo sounds similar too hanwoo- beef in korean)

"Eo Eunwoo-yah." She spoke with a nasal voice as she still has runny nose.

"yah, neo u-reo? Wae wae? (are you crying? Why why?)" Eunwoo who was lying down while watching TV immediately changed his position. He frowned his eyebrows as she chuckled.

"No, I think the flu came to me earlier, aish why out of many days, it came to me now? But I'm fine since I'm in front of heater and sunbae went to buy some hot drink." Eunwoo sighed in relieved before he went to the window and opened it, he can felt the cold and automatically shivered.

"Yah, its really cold, finish your date already come back home fast, I call you because I know that you cant stand to extreme weather. Aish you make me worried, hyung is taking care of you well isnt he?"

Heeyoung chuckled and smiled. He was over-protecting her since kindergarten even though she's actually fine with it. She remembered how he was hugging her all the time when they went to play at the outside because he thought she might get sick. And also when she fell because someone accidentally pushed her during middle school and he's the one who cried while carrying her at his back.

"Eo ahjumma, I'm fine and he's realllly good to me, don't worry and just watch your TV okay? Eo thank you sunbae." She received the tea from Hongbin and thanked him.

Eunwoo noticed that Hongbin has returned, "Okay since your prince charming has come, this ahjumma will go now, ya don't come back home late we have a full evening class tomorrow, do I have to come and handle your messy morning again?"

She laughed and nodded "Okay okayyy byeee" She quickly ended the call to avoid his long speech again. She blew the tea before taking a sip of it. "Haaa, you really pick a nice tea, I love this flavor." She smiled at Hongbin.

"Really? I love it too, I'm afraid it doesn't fit your taste but I'm glad it is. Should we head home after this? I'm worried about you, you have class tomorrow right?" He fixed her scarf and stared at her worriedly.

She nodded and felt guilty "I'm sorry that it has to end like this, but before that can we go buy bungeo-ppang (fish bread pastry)? I always eat those in winter and its Eunwoo's favorite as well, so I want to buy him something today." Hongbin helped her to stand and nodded.

"Sure anything you wish, if you want to buy for Eunwoo, then its on me, my treat for both of you." Heeyoung laughed and made an OK sign cutely.

"Good morning Lee Hongbin" Jaehwan and the rest of VIXX sat at the dining table and had a breakfast. They were set up to be like normal humans so all the daily routines of them are normal. Hongbin's mother served him his usual breakfast and all 8 of them were having breakfast silently.

"I met this one girl."

"Wow, so how?" Hyuk clapped happily and showed his brightest smile.

"Its good.." He took a bite of his meal before his mom spoke.

"Then bring her here, meet with us, hmm?" She smiled and looked at the others who agreed with it. But he's against it, there's still a lot of things she didn't know about him. About what happened to VIXX and his parents. The fact that they are cyborgs just sound wrong and he never ready to face any rejection about what he did.

Hongbin went to the balcony and stared at the green mountains and trees in front of him. The offer from Heeyoung's father lingered in his mind. He was confused to accept or reject it. He thought it might be easier to get machines without faking an identity, but what if Heeyoung knows about what he did? More importantly, what if Eunwoo finds out that his cousin has turned into a cyborg? An illegal cyborg which will get destroyed by the government as soon as they find out.

He picked his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"Mr.Jang? Annyeonghaseyo, its Lee Hongbin..I think we should have a talk about the offer you have for me..are you free at the moment?"

"Ohhh Hongbin-nim, sure sure I don't have any schedule after this, where should we meet? At the cafe we met?"

"No, somewhere private, and if you can please keep this as secret from anyone.."

Hongbin waited for Heeyoung's father at a private room in a luxury restaurant. After a while he entered the room and they sat facing each other. They ordered a meal and waited until the waiter served and left both of them.

"I'm sorry for taking your time."

"Hmm no no I'm grateful you are willing to see me.so how? Have you made your decision?" Hyunwook grabbed a slice of meat and chewed it. Hongbin nodded slowly and took a sip of his drink before he started.

"I think I will accept the offer. It has been my dream to show my ability in this field.. I hope you can give me your best cooperation and lesson to me. I hope I will not disappoint you and we can work together in this field."

Hyunwook smiled brightly and they shook their hands. "I'm so happy that you accept this offer, I was worried who I should choose, I don't know it feels like I want other people to handle my things now. Anyway we will make an official agreement and signing a contract very soon, I will ask my secretary to email you."

"Mr.Jang I hope you will not tell anyone about this, especially Heeyoung.." Hongbin stared at Hyunwook and he put his chopstick before he asked why.

"It just..I want to work because of the passion, not because of someone that I have to make myself proud in front of. And until its okay to tell her, I will make a surprise for her." Both of them smiled before Hyunwook nodded and just followed what he wished for.
