Love Nest

____________________________________________________________________

" Yeonjun : Hyunjin told you to just take a rest at home! You don't have to go to cherry blossom for a few days! "

Said Yeonjun who served food next to Tae's bed!

" Tae : I feel better now, Yeonjun ! Doing nothing will bore me! "

Said Tae! He was about to leave, but Yeonjun held him back!

" Yeonjun : No.... no.... no! You just take a rest! Besides, you can do many things at home! Knitting, for example! "

Advised Yeonjun!

Tae sighed, and glanced at the clock on the nightstand! It was still too early! Even the sun had just risen!

" Yeonjun : I will accompany you until noon, because i have something to take care of today! "

Said yeonjun, looking reluctant to leave Tae alone !

He smiled and patted Yeonjun's shoulder lightly!

" Tae : You may go! I'm an adult, you know! Don't worry about me! "

The two of them ended the conversation and went back to their activity! Tae knitting again after a long resting, and Yeonjun with his back to share with hyunjin and his friends!

.......

After struggling with knitting in hand for a long time , Tae decided to give up switch to a reading book! His focus stopped when he heard a knock on the door! His brows knitted at the clock on the wall which still showed two o'clock in the afternoon! Yeonjun was supposed to be back in five hours!

He carefully stepped to the window, and peeked out!

A man stood in front of the house with his hands in his trouser pockets! He just views the man from his back, so he didn't know who it was! His posture looked like a stranger for him, so he didn't open the door right away! He had his cell phone on standby, in case the man in front of him was a criminal!

" Tae : Who are you? "

Tae asked while waiting warily 

For a moment, the man didn't answer, making Tae worried that he looked for Yeonjun's number on his cellphone!

There was a hum from outside, causing Tae to stop typing on the screen!

" Cha Eun-woo "

Replied the man who immediately loosened Tae's bones until he almost sat down on the floor!

His hands are looking for something to support his body! He stared blankly at the door that separated the two of them!

" Tae : Pardon me, but why are you looking for me? "

Asked Tae at last!

He squeezed his clenched fingers!

" Eunwoo : Do you want me to talk from outside? "

Eunwoo asked who realized Tae that they were still blocked by the door!

He hesitated to turn the key, but his curiosity was so great that his body unknowingly moved before he had time to think!

The two of them faced each other other as soon as the door opened! Tae stared blankly at the operations manager where he used to work, Jungkook's right- hand man who was the number two person in the Luna Star Executive! During his work time, they had never met individually, even Jungkook kept Tae a secret from those closest to him! He also doubted that Jungkook knew everything, but seeing the man in front of him, Tae felt that Jungkook must have been talking about him to Eunwoo!

Seeing Tae who just stared silently, Eunwoo also spoke straight to the point!

" Eunwoo : You must have known i came here! "

Said Eunwoo who only responded with an expressionless look! he took out an envelope from a briefcase in front of Tae!

" Eunwoo : I came in peace, Before you say something, it's better to read this first! "

Said the man who woke Tae from the presence of an unexpected guest!

Tae stared blankly at the envelope that was handed over! At first, he was hesitat to accept but him curiosity overcame his logic!

" Tae : Come in! "

Tae said with a heavy breath!

They entered the house! Tae told the uninvited guest to sit on the sofa!

" Tae : Would you like tea or coffee? "

He asked about to offer something , but Eunwoo shook his head, refusing the offer!

" Eunwoo: I want this matter to be over quickly! Just read the document so i don't linger! "

Said Eunwoo, which made Tae not like him immediately!

Tae opened the unsealed envelope that He had been holding for a long time, then read the contents! His body stiffened for a moment! His eyes quickly read the line of words listed! Every now and then, Tae's gasping breath was heard, as well as the grinding of his teeth when he found a paragraph that chill his bone!

" Eunwoo : As you read, i want you to keep your mouth shut about your pregnancy and any relationship you have with Jeon jungkook! Including the memories that are left , just pretend they never exist! "

Eunwoo said in a low voice!

Tae glanced at the man in front of him!The paper in his hand wrinkled for a moment!

" Tae : You're threatening to take my Aunt's shop, and give me time to leave state? Did you think it would be that easy for me to accept? "

Tae hissed with teary eyes!

Eunwoo sat leaning on the sofa, his arms crossed to his chest!

" Eunwoo : I will guarantee your child grows up without any interference from Jungkook and Irone's side! If necessary, Tae will give money until the child is in college! You will no longer worry about someone threatening to take the baby in your womb! The child is completely yours! "

Eunwoo explained with emphasis on a few words!

" Eunwoo : In fact, if you sign this agreement, your Aunt will no longer be under threat! "

Tae's chest rumbled , how dare they come and disturb his life?

His eyes returned to the document that was still in his hand!

" Tae : Did Jungkook send you here? "

Whispered Tae asking! His face was downcast, unable to hear an answer !

" Eunwoo : No! "

Eunwoo answered slowly!

"  Eunwoo : I've come to help, you already know that Jungkook doesn't want the child, but it's a different story with his fiance, Irone, who won't let you be free to raise the part of Jungkook! Before something happened, i came to give up the opportunity to have a life away from chaos that will come! "

Eunwoo deliberately averted his eyes , away from Tae's glance that fell into his! The man didn't want Tae to read the guilt and regret that had flashed in his gray eyes!

" Eunwoo : You already know that I'm the only choice you have, even i deliberately asked Irone not to come here! "

Eunwoo added!

Tae's hands trembled until he hid it behind the table! Yesterday's memories were still etched in his brain!

" Tae : I don't want to leave Moines! This place is the only one that gives me comfort! "

Tae said in an almost whispered voice!

" Tae : Please don't make me lose my home a second time! "

A single tear rolled down to form a long trail of water that dripped under his chin!

A sympathy came into Eunwoo's heart! The man swallowed hard his saliva until he thought for a long time to find a different solution!

His gaze was observing Tae stealthily! This man was very fragile with a pale face! Even his beauty could not match the sadness that was clearly imprinted on the corner of his eyes and lips!

Eunwoo finally took a breath as he closed his eyes and then opened them before he said!

" Eunwoo : Then stay here until the baby is born, after that i want you to got out of this country! "

Hearing that he had no other choice, Tae took a pen from behind a cupboard drawer!

" Tae : Do i have to sign this? "

Tae asked looking at the document doubt fully! His voice trembled with tears!

Before Tae could carve a signature, Eunwoo pulled the document away!

" Eunwoo : I'll make a new one! "

He said carefully!

" Eunwoo : Tomorrow, I'll be here again! "

Eunwoo promised as he stood up!

Tae looked up at Eunwoo who was towering from where Tae was sitting!

" Tae : Tomorrow , i won't be alone! "

Said Tae, remembering Yeonjun would be back tonight!

Eunwoo reached into his shirt pocket and gave Tae a business card!

" Eunwoo : Call this number when you're alone, or we can make an appointment before i get back to new York! "

Seeing Eunwoo's name along with the man's position as operational manager of Luna star hotel listed on the business card , caused Tae's longing suddenly! In fact, he did not get up from his chair while Eunwoo decided to get out of there!

After getting into the car, Eunwoo looked ahead at the old ranch house where Tae had lived the last few weeks! His hand gripped the steering wheel, breathless and sweat dripping down his forehead!

"  Eunwoo : What are you doing Eunwoo? "
He whispered as he put his forehead on the steering wheel!

Even Eunwoo didn't know what he was doing right now! He felt like he was in the middle, caught between Jungkook and irone, but seeing Tae's condition aroused his sympathy who was deliberately buried before meeting him earlier!

The vibration in his pants pocket that came from his cellphone, brought Eunwoo back to his senses  ! His hands trembled as he pressed the accent button when he saw Jungkook's name on the screen!

Eunwoo cleared his throat before answering!

" Eunwoo : What's up? "

" Jk : You said you'd come back today, I've been waiting for a long time, but your secretary said you were delaying your return from personal matters! "

Jungkook explained, sounding annoyed!

" Jk : What business did you have that you left an important meeting without telling me first? "

Eunwoo caught the breath he had been holding!

" Eunwoo : I'm sorry, this matter is very personal so you don't need to know! "

He said, giving a slightly joking intonation!

Jungkook snorted and said!

" Jk : I'll give you three days off! If you don't come back by Thursday, I'll blacklist you from the Team B Project! "

Jungkook threatened!

Eunwoo whose mind wasn't on work could only exhale without protest, causing Jungkook to ask a little!

" Jk : Is everything okay? "

Hearing Jungkook's worried tone added to Eunwoo guilt getting bigger until it was suffocating!

" Eunwoo: Nothing, maybe I'm just tired! I'll call you later when my business is done! "

Eunwoo reasoned before hanging up the call!

As soon as their connection was cut, Eunwoo stared at the phone screen in his hand in amazement! He tapped his his head again on the steering wheel and took a deep breath as his lungs suddenly emptied!

When his body calmed down again, eunwoo looked at the old house once more before drive away from it!
