"That's me" // Xukun's FF

Chapter 12

Nana's POV

"Hello," I answer the phone with a raspy morning voice. My ringtone is my alarm for today I guess.

"Nana, something came up," I can hear someone's voice but I cannot recognise it since I am too sleepy. I force myself not to close my eyes but it is so hard. It is all because I couldn't sleep. I don't know how many nights in a row it has been already but the sure thing is that it will last for some time. I just can get used to the emptiness now.

It is true that Xukun often left because of his work and I had to sleep alone but that times were different. That time he would call me before I went to sleep. He would tell me he loved me. He would send me a goodnight kiss but now...I'm always afraid of what tomorrow will bring.

"Listen, Nana, Xukun has a fever..." the voice says and now I am able to recognise it. It's Yanjun. I try to focus on what he says. "...and it seems that you will have to take care of him."

"What? Why? What happened?" I ask still not fully awake but the boy doesn't seem to notice as he continues. "He got a fever probably because of the amount of memories or something like that. Anyway the doctor warned us and he said it is quite normal so we don't have to worry but still it will be better if there is someone to take care of him."

"Of course, but what with you or Ziyi, Qinjia...or Mrs. Fan?" I question as I can't understand why they ask me to do it. Jolin was supposed to be home with him that is why he came back to Fan's home.

"Mrs. Fan has to attempt some important meeting with Mr. Fan. Qinjia has to go to work. They are shooting the show today and, of course, Ziyi and I have a job to do, too," Yanjun explains and I furrow my brows.

"I also have work to do. I have to make a new choreography and I have already backlog..." I protest but the boy sighs. "Nana...you can do it there. They even have a small gym with a mirror and you are aware of that. You don't have to stay by Xukun's side all day. Just bring him some food, check his temperature from time to time-"

"Okay, stop here. I understand why Qinjia has to go to work and I believe that the meeting Fan's are attempting but you and Ziyi? There is so many people working at that company. I'm sure there is someone that can replace you, guys," I state knowing that Yanjun does it all on purpose.

"No, they can't because what we are going to do today is very important," Yanjun responds proudly.

"Yeah...really...so what is this important thing?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why?" I ask getting impatient and yet curious of his stupid answers I'm going to get.

"Because it's a secret," he says and I sigh deeply closing my eyes as my head starts to hurt because of this conversation.

"Oh Lord, Yanjun...why do you two always sound and act more like you work for an underground mafia not an entertainment company?" I ask but there is a second of silence as if he thinks of what to say next.

"Besides I am not a babysitter type and you probably know how to take care of Xukun," he ignores my statement and before I can yell at him he continues. "So get ready, pretty lady. Romeo is waiting. Hurry up before everyone leaves the house. You have about an hour. Good luck! Love you!"

"No! Yanjun! I-" I scream to the phone but the boy has already hang up. This brat... The worst thing is that I don't have a choice now. Ziyi and Qinjia probably doesn't know about Yanjun's conspiracy and he for sure won't come to take care of Xukun. And he knows that I know that. So I just have to go there...actually I can always stay at home but if something happens to Xukun...I don't even want to think about it.
