Chapter 10: The Encounter
Gwon Jiwoo wakes up early the next day for an early morning jog.
He thought to himself it will be nice to run in the open air since he always does his work out in his gym.
His office is his home. Everything you see in a house can be found on his personalized condominium just a door away from his office space. He thinks that it is a waste of time traveling from a house to his office. Especially when he works on the top floor.
He also has his galley. Where a supply of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat is stored and being replenished every week for fresh stocks.
Despite him being a workaholic, he never forgets about his health. It was only those two instances he fainted because he skipped a meal... And that made a hole in his perfect routine that his two best friends took advantage of.
He now jogs to his parent's shop, took the items and then he jogs again to their old house to deliver it.
It is exactly 8 in the morning when he rings the doorbell. He took a step back and views his former house. It has a different feel now, not a single detail was retained. Everything was renovated.
His parents initially wanted to keep the house because of some sentimental reasons. But he persuaded them that the money will be used to develop and upgrade their shop.
It has been 5 minutes since he rang the bell, so he rings it again...
Still no answer... Again... Hmmm, nothing. The person might have forgotten he has a delivery.
He hated people who waste other people's time.
He rings the doorbell for one last time...
And still no answer. So he decided to leave the groceries on the door and when he's a few feet away already, he hears someone shouting from inside the house.
"Help!"
"Someone out there please help!"

Gwon Jiwoo's Point Of View
After hearing the cry I rushed to the area, good thing the gate was unlocked.
As I was heading to the scene, I saw a man lying on the floor. He must've slipped because of the wet floor.
I haven't got the chance to look at him coz he covered it by raising his shirt to his face.
I hurriedly went to him and assessed the situation. I didn't pick him up though, as protocol. I have to check how he fell first before I can take action.
JIWOO: excuse me. But can you tell me what happened?
SU HO: ahhhh can't you just help me up?!
JIWOO: you know I can't do that yet Mr...
SU HO: arrrggg... This is getting frustrating. Just... Do what you have to do...tsk
JIWOO: hmmm (still calm) I need to know how you slipped.
SU HO: duh! Can't you see the floor is wet?!
I just closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Damn this man is such a pain in the ass.
SU HO: yah... Still there?
...
SU HO: yah!
JIWOO: wait for a minu...
SU HO: hey! What are you doing! Are yyou taking pictures or something?!
The fuck...why would I take pictures of him?!
SU HO: yaaah!!!
JIWOO: WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?! EVEN FOR JUST A MINUTE!

Lee Su Ho's Point Of View
The audacity to shout at me! Fine, I'll not talk then. Hmpf
Ughh... I don't want him to see me. He might be some Sky Haven fanatic or some jealous boyfriend who's girlfriend is a diehard fan and was waiting for this once in a lifetime chance to sabotage me! Or even worse! Take photos of me in this awkward position!
Aaaahhhhh! Reports are gonna buy that shit and make rumors out of it! They'll be feasting on my demise! My vacation will be ruined! My bandmates will kill me!!!
JIWOO: hey, tell me where it hurts...
Now he's asking me a question? He told me to shut up, so I'll shut up.
I can hear him sighing under my shirt
JIWOO: (in a more calm voice) look, I'm sorry for shouting at you ok? (Now in a deep alluring voice) please? I don't want to hurt you even more by picking up randomly. Tell me where it hurts.
Hmmm... he whispers in my ears, so slowly but ahhh... I've never heard someone with that kind of voice before. It's so deep yet soothing.
I unconsciously lowered down my shirt from my face. There's just this compelling force that tells me to look at his face... Maybe he's not what I think he is.
Holy Shit
He's looking at me, with his face inches before mine. I felt his sweet warm breath against my face. He is wearing a beanie cap where his locks almost dipped in his black orbs... The bronze skin defines his muscles under a white shirt when flexing as he reached out my sides trying to pinpoint where I felt pain.
I have never been this close to a man before. We usually do skinship during concerts and fan meetings. But I know that is all for the show, and we're comfortable with each other...
But...
JIWOO: hey, still there? (he's waving his hand above my face)
SU HO: ahh yes yes ( I was in a daze just a few minutes ago, damn what just happened?) Sorry. I was just uhmm not in my mind today.
JIWOO: that's fine. So...
SU HO: ahh my butt... I mean, I landed on my butt... (I told him shyly)
JIWOO: ok, now I know how to pick you up now.
I looked at him as he takes off his jacket and places it under me to serve as a cushion as he picks me up. I can now clearly look at him closely. He has this sharp jawline, dark hair, and well-defined muscles.
What The Actual Fuck
Did I just checked him out?! Am I in my right mind?! Did the fall caused this confusion?!
JIWOO: uhmm excuse me, but where's your room? I'll take you to your bed so that you can rest
SU HO: ohh it's in the far left after the laundry room.
JIWOO: ahh I see... Bear with me ok?
SU HO: Yesss... I'll bear with you.
JIWOO: oh ok (blushes)
Shit. I better shut up before I say anything else.
We arrived in my room and he placed me on my bed. Shit... I already missed his touch!
I LIKE GIRLS
I LIKE GIRLS
I LIKE GIRLS
I LIKE...
What the hell is wrong with me?!
He sits beside me while I lay on my back. He touches my forehead.
JIWOO: hey, you have a fever... No wonder you're not in the mood.
SU HO: (I felt my forehead) yeah, I think I do have a fever... I didn't realize that.
JIWOO: maybe you were out while it's raining last night... Is anyone here with you?
SU HO: uhh no... I'm alone
JIWOO: hmmm do you want me to call a doctor?
SU HO: no! I mean, I think I don't need a doctor. It's just a slight fever... And... I don't mind if you stay.
JIWOO: ohh... ok?
