Hired to Love You~Chapter 3
Sungmin woke up early that day, somehow, he had a bad feeling of the day to come.He drapped his oversized nightgown over his shoulders before dragging his feet across the hallway from his room to Sungjin's room, he just felt like snuggling into bed with his little brother. He opened the door to find that Sungjin had long woken up, but just where could he be? Sungmin walked down the stairs hoping to find Sungjin in the kitchen. But after hearing whispers coming from his father's study, he decided to go and spy on what was going on and forgot about looking for Sungjin. He stood against the wall outside the room out of sight from his father and the stranger in the room. "i want you to keep an eye on my eldest son. Are you able to do that?" It was his father. "Yes sir, i will keep an eye on the young master. It shouldn't be too big of a problem for me, sir." That was definately the stranger that Sungmin caught a glimpse of just now. "But besides watching my son, i want you to make him fall for you." Sungmin thought he had heard his father wrong, make him fall for that stranger? That was as good as impossible. "Sir.. I.." "Just tell me if you're not able to do it. I'll hire someone else. I'm pretty sure there are others out there willing to change their sexual preferences for money. It afterall IS money that makes the world go round. Smart people should know that, perhaps, i've overestimated you, Mr Cho?" Cho.. That was his surname.. It sounded rather familiar to Sungmin though he couldn't figure out why. Sungmin was used to being used by his father, but he didn't understand why his father had wanted this Cho guy to make Sungmin fall for him. But whatever it was, now that Sungmin had found out, he wasn't going to let his father use him. He was going to control his feeling and emotions. yes, Sungmin knew he was going to stay strong. He could do it. He crept up the stairs to the bedroom and quietly closed the door before his father could find out that Sungmin had overheard the entire conversation. Sungmin wondered how his father could live with himself, didn't his father feel guilty for all that he had done? His father was cold hearted. No one could move him. No one could touch him and make him tear. It was as if his father was soulless, a body without a heart and soul. He wondered how anyone could ever live like that. Sungmin soon drifted off to sleep, his thoughts, once again being pushed aside for later.
He looked at the clock on his bedside table and realised he had slept for another two hours. It was nine in the morning and his stomach was begging for food. As he opened his door, he got a shock as that Cho guy from earlier on in the morning was standing back against the wall. It appeared as though he was waiting for Sungmin to open the door so he could pounce on him. Sungmin bowed and quickly made his way to the dining room, his mother and father were already seated waiting for him. He took a seat greeting his parents as he did so. "Umma, where's Sungjin?" He had not seen his younger brother since he first woke up and it was starting to worry him. "Oh, i didn't tell you? Sungjin went over to his best friends house last night. It was a last minute decision and you were already asleep so i didn't wake you up to tell you" No wonder Sungjin was missing the whole morning. "That stupid boy, he'll get it from me when he gets back" Sungmin thought to himself. "Sungmin ah.. I'm really sorry for what i did and said yesterday. I know i reacted too strongly about you going out. I apologise and i hope that we can put that behind us?" What a joke,Sungmin thought to himself. His father was telling him not to hold a grudge? Yeah sure, who was the one holding grudges? Before Sungmin could control himself, he burst out laughing, his cereals being spit out in the process. Yes, he was laughing, he wasn't pissed. It was all a huge joke to him. Sungmin's mother kicked him from under the table and Sungmin took the hint to straighten himself out before his father got really mad. "So... Is there anything else you need to tell me, father?" Sungmin wanted his father to tell him whatever he needed to know, not hide it from him till the very last minute. "Well son, I do actually have something to tell you. It's regarding you. You see, i've hired you a personal bodyguard. He'll be your one and only personal one as long as he's able to prove his ability. Of course, if you think he's not good enough, you could always inform me and i'll have him fired. But for now, we'll just use him. He's supposed to keep you company when you're lonely so in a way, he's going to be your friend." Friend?! What a joke. Sungmin felt as though his dad treated the newly hired "friend" A.K.A bodyguard like a dog. His father might as well have hired a maid. Geez.
After breakfast, Sungmin decided to sleep some more since he was still feeling tired. He closed his room door behind him and turned around only to get a shock. "Yah! What are you doing in my room?!" Sungmin was too tired to speak nicely anymore. He was tired from tolerating his father throughout breakfast and now this guy. "I..I was tidying your bed, sir." Oh.. it was his new bodyguard. "Have you ever heard of asking for permission to enter other people's rooms?" He was really pissed now. "I'm sorry. I should have asked. Please don't blame me, sir. Oh and, i forgot to introduce myself, I'm Cho KyuHyun, your new bodyguard. I was hired to protect you and apparently do almost everything you want me to do.. so i guess you can call me a personal maid instead..?" Kyuhyun said while scratching the back of his neck. Sungmin thought that he was rather cute, but what was the fun of having a personal maid? Sungmin decided that he was going to "play" with Kyuhyun. After all, Kyuhyun was hired because Sungmin was lonely right? "You, No need for introductions. You're just a servant, your name isn't important to me at all. Now could you please get out? I need my sleep and YOU are disturbing it." Sungmin gently pushed the Kyuhyun out of his room and he slammed his door shut and locked it. "That will teach him not to get on my nerves" Sungmin thought to himself. Sungmin could foresee that he was going to have very much fun with Kyuhyun. "Just wait till i plan out my next move, i'm sure Kyuhyun would have the best time ever" Sungmin snickered before returning to dreamland.
