~the next morning~

I woke up to yet another headache but a mild and bearable one. I blindly reached out for a cup of water, but my hand didn't grab onto anything. I always put a cup of water on my night stand...  Puzzled, I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. Right. I forgot I came over to his place... 

Hyunwoo grunts in his sleep and tightens his hold on me before nuzzling his face against my neck. His breath tickled my nape making me shiver inadvertently. Miraculously, I managed to slip out of his hold without waking him up, and stretched. I groaned when a distinct popping sound came from my back. 

I walked off into the bathroom and took in my appearance. To sum it all in one world, a mess. I opened the cabinet below the sink to look for a toothbrush to use and a cup. When I found them, I brushed my teeth. Afterwards, I bent down so I could splash water onto my face. As I was washing the sleep from my face, I felt arms wrapping around my waist.

"Good morning," Hyunwoo says in tone that was a bit deeper than his usual tone. He grabs a small white fluffy towel and wipes my face for me. I blushed slightly, and shyly met his gaze in the mirror.

"Morning," I replied.

"I was wondering where you went when  I didn't feel you in my arms," he hums and puts his chin on my shoulder.

"Oh?"

"Mhmm, I wanted to stay in bed with you longer."

"I would have let you, but we got work to go too," I chuckled and leaned back in his embrace.

"I don't wanna. Let's play hooky."

"As much as I want too, we can't. Important guests are coming," I sighed as I remembered Mr. Son had informed me that he was hosting a company lunch at the restaurant today a few days ago. 

"But...."

"But, nothing. I am the head chef. I need to kept up appearances too."

"No fun."

"Alright. We can do play hooky some other time. Now, let me go, and freshen up," I said and patted his joined hands in front of my stomach. He reluctantly lets go. I walked over to the walk in closet to choose something to wear. As I was deciding what to wear, I felt something drip down my chin. I wiped it off with my fingers and looked at them. Blood... 

I went back into the bedroom after making sure that he wasn't there and cleaned the blood off my face with some tissues. It probably isn't anything serious. Maybe, it is because I ate too much fried food. Yeah, that's probably why.

....I hope
