Lee Changhyuk was sitting all alone on the sofa, in the living room. He was looking to the right and left.
The house had a spacious living room, it was also airy because when you looked up- the ceiling was open to the second floor. The beautiful backyard was accessible through the living room. And in the opposite, he could see a well equipped eat-in kitchen that opened up to the dining room. Beside the dining room, there were 2 adjacent doors that lead to the small bedrooms. How did Changhyuk know? Well, the pictures were shown on the RoomBnB website.
It was indeed a beautiful house but Changhyuk's mind wandered to the three men who left with the ambulance just now. He couldn't hear a word they said since they stopped screaming.
Trying to relax, Changhyuk took out his phone and wallet from his jeans pocket then put them on the table. He folded his long legs and leaned his slender yet masculine figure on the sofa.
He cupped his chin then let himself drown in his own thoughts. He was dead curious. He definitely didn't have a clear look on their faces, but why did they look so familiar to him?
Shizu appeared with a tray and a cup of hot drink.
"Sorry for the wait." She bent her body then put the cup in front of him.
Lee Changhyuk collected himself then smirked at the sight of a cup of hot milk. A grin appeared on his face before he nodded politely.
"Thank you." He took the cup and sipped the milk.
"Do you feel better now?" She asked him.
"Yeah. I'll leave after this, it's late. You also need to rest." He lightly answered which the milk girl acknowledged with a nod.
Lee Changhyuk lowered his lids and remained silence as he was trying to finish the milk. It was a plain milk with a spoonful of honey. He never imagined that he would drink so much milk in a day.
She just watched quietly as Lee Changhyuk slowly sipped the hot milk. Little by little, that pale face recovered its warmth and color, so she gently put her palm on his forehead then used another one on hers to compare their body temperature. Lee Changhyuk raised his lids so that he could meet her brown eyes.
"You don't have fever." She narrowed her eyes then continued in hesitation. "Okay, maybe a little bit?"
Lee Changhyuk shot his brows up as if he was waiting for her other diagnose but Shizu retired her hand abruptly then put it on her chest. Hey, come on. They're not even that close!
"I'm sorry."
Lee Changhyuk shook his head then chuckled as he tried to dismiss her concern.
"It's fine. I do it all the time to my hyungs too." He spoke to her softly before taking another sip of hot milk.
He was trying his best to finish the hot milk that the milk girl personally made for him! He could actually finish it in one go, but to his surprise he prefered dealing with the milk terrible aftertaste just so that he could spend a second longer with her.
Shizu was still feeling awkward so she took her phone out to distract herself.
She checked the RoomBnB app. Weren't they being rude for not returning her message? Yeah she should call the guest to negotiate about the cancellation! That house was definitely too big for one person. If they cancelled then she could rent the rooms to the people who would actually come and stay over at her place. So she pressed the 'call' button on her RoomBnB app.
As soon as she pressed the button, Lee Changhyuk's phone started vibrating around. Shizu could not help but glance at the phone on the table and widen her eyes as she saw the caller. It was an incoming call from RoomBnB app and the caller was 'Tokyo Katagiri Cordial Residence'.
