chapter 3
Jeonghan woke up in an unfamiliar bed to a massive headache and pain in his legs. Usually, that meant one thing: a drunken one-night stand.
But he felt that wasn't what happened. Jeonghan had faint memories of the night before.
He remembered running away from his parent's house to the bar. He remembered the red car heading straight for him and how he stood in place. So that's why my legs hurt.
Jeonghan sat up and held his head.
"Good morning," a soft voice spoke.
Jeonghan looked up to see a boy standing by the doorway of the huge bedroom. He was one of the men who'd picked Jeonghan up from the road.
"'Morning." He smiled at the man. "Sorry, what was your name again?"
"Jisoo or Joshua." He smiled back. "It's alright, I didn't expect you to remember. Come on, let's go get you breakfast."
"I don't really eat so early," Jeonghan said, embarrassed as he stood up. He noticed he was wearing a shirt that was slightly oversized and shorts.
"But it's nine in the morning." Joshua frowned.
"I don't eat until noon," he told him and stumbled against the doorway. Stupid legs.
Joshua only frowned harder but didn't say anything. Jeonghan followed him down the stairs to where another man was sitting at the table, focused on whatever was on his Macbook Pro. He looked up for a second to glare at Jeonghan with dark eyebags and flaring nostrils before looking back at his screen. What's up with him?
"Good morning to you too," Jeonghan said. He noticed Joshua had disappeared -fucking great.
"Whatever," his low and raspy voice replied. "Your breakfast's on the counter."
"I don't eat this early," Jeonghan said.
"The fuck you mean you don't eat this early?" He looked up to take an airpod out and that was when Jeonghan noticed how familiar he looked but couldn't put his finger on it. "Then what do you want?"
"I want to know where my clothes and phone are." Why was this guy so rude?
"Your clothes are in the wash and your phone's also on the kitchen counter. It's dead though and I don't have an Android charger."
Not surprising from the guy with a whole mansion.
"Then can I use your phone to call someone?"
"Ask Joshua, my phone's in use right now." He put his airpod back in and turned his attention back to the MacBook screen.
Jeonghan rolled his eyes and went to look for Joshua. He found the boy on a sofa in the small library.
"Hey, can I use your phone?" Jeonghan asked. "Mine's dead."
"Yeah, of course." The boy handed it to him, open to the calling app.
Jeonghan didn't know who to call.
His parents were out of the question. His sister wouldn't care in the slightest. It's not like he had any friends who would either.
Finally, he decided to call his second-cousin, Mingyu.
After three rings, the boy finally answered.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's your favorite second-cousin, Jeonghan."
"Yeah, what's up?"
