NCT LOVE STORY: NOT-so CRAZY TANGLED LOVE STORY || YuTae

:: 23 :: Am I just a tool?

TAEYONG'S 

I opened my eyes and found myself lying in an unfamiliar room. I sat up immediately but felt a presence beside me. Jaehyun is drinking a coffee in the sofa beside the bed while reading something in his tablet.

He looked at me and put down his cup and the newspaper. "How are you feeling?"

I feel extremely tired.

" I'm fine." I said, leaning on the headboard. I don't remember sleeping here at all.

"You've cried too much. You wouldn't leave the hospital yesterday until you finally felt exhausted. So I brought you here." He said and I notice my suitcase by the cabinet. "He gave me that yesterday when I visited him." He must be talking about Yuta.

I closed my eyes as if it will help ease the pain. "I need to go back, Jae. Things aren't still clear." I said without opening my eyes.

I felt him sat beside me. "Then I'll come with you."

"You don't have to. Trust me, I'll fix myself. For the meantime, I think you need to replace my position-"

"You're being you again, Taeyong." He said with a chuckle which made me opened my eyes. I didn't say something funny. "JGE won't be JGE without Secretary Lee, the greatest of them all." He joked. I smiled in his effort to make me laugh. Jaehyun has always been that type of guy. Workaholic but dependable, comforting.

"And you know what? Don't overreact! We're still in the province! Not because you're in an apartment you already feel like you're back in the city!" He teased which made me frowned. I thought I am back to his house.

"The style and color is so like you, Jae. Even the way things are arranged. How would I know right away that it this isn't your house?"

"So are you saying that my taste in architecture is common?"

"No. It's unique. But you only have one design in all your condos or houses." I said which made him go 'Ooppss'. Tss... 

"You know what? Let's eat. Come'on." he said pulling me.

"I don't have an a-"

"As the great secretary of my company, you need to follow me, Taeyong. And we will be going somewhere." he said. I thought I'm on a vacation? *sighs* Well, he's right. He's still my boss even on vacation and I think, I do need to work right now.

I stood up and followed him towards the kitchen.

"Why are you the one doing this?" I asked before we enter RIO Mental Hospital. The business he's referring to is personally going to this Mental Hospital for the educational game the company thought of few months ago.
