Hired to Love You~ Chapter 1
It pained her to see him lying on the bed like that, she could tell that he'd given up all hope. She knew he hated staying at home. She could understand, afterall, he had been "home-quarantined" by his dad. The reason his dad gave was because he was really weak,too weak to go out he'd say. But the truth was,being a CEO of the country's largest IT firm, he didn't want to lose face. If others saw the CEO's son so weak and sickly, he'd surely lose his pride, and that definitely wouldn't do his company justice. Sungmin felt that he was rather alive and well, though he had to admit he was getting weaker by the day, but hey, at least he could still walk and talk. Sungmin felt that there would only be a need to worry if he wasn't acting like his usual bratty self, but nevertheless, he listened to his father. He was never one to go against his dad. Being the CEO, his dad was capable of doing anything. Especially after being locked in his room for 3 days after sneaking out, Sungmin had learned that his dad was not one who should be put to a test. Sungmin was really bored with his life at home, the whole week was just eat,sleep,eat,sleep,doctor,eat,sleep,eat,sleep..etc.. He didn't want the family doctor to keep checking on him. It got on his nerves. Especially when he,himself felt very much alive. He enjoyed pulling pranks on the servants in charge of watching him and often made fun of them, he liked making the female servants blush. One time, he came out of the shower with only a towel covering his bottom. It entertained him so, to see the female servants blush a deep shade of red. But soon, all these were getting boring to him and he longed more than ever to wander outside into the city, even if it was just for 1 minute, it was better than nothing.
"Omma.." Sungmin started,not sure if he should proceed. "Yes? Did you need something?" The concerned mother asked him. "Please, let me go out to the city for once, i hate being stuck in this mansion. I promise, i'll be good. I'll wear a disguise! Anything! Omma, please! Just let me go! I'll come back before dad arrives home! Please,omma?" She could see the determination in her sons eyes. If only he was that determined towards curing his illness. She debated in her head for a few seconds before she finally decided that her son did need to step out of the house. "Will you promise to stay out of trouble and be safe?" She could see the glint in his eyes. "YES! I will! PROMISE!" She couldn't help but chuckle, her son was already 18 but he acted as if he were 7. "But one thing, you have to bring one bodyguard with you.It's a must otherwise, you can forget about going." He didn't really want anyone following him, but he decided that it was his only way of gwtting out of the house hence, he agreed. " I could always find a way to ditch him later" He smirked as he thought to himself. Sungmin could hardly contain his excitement as he changed and got ready to get out of the house. He brought extra cash just in case he wanted to get games for when he was bored at home. Since it would probably be the first and the last time he was going to be out of the house.
He waited at the front porch of his house for his limousine to arrive, he didn't know why his mother had asked for him to ride in a limousine since it would only draw more attention, but he didn't want to argue for fear that she might change her mind and make him stay at home. He got in the limousine as soon as the butler opened the door for him, beaming from ear to ear, he waved goodbye to his mother and began his journey after so many months into the city.
