11 [Byun Baekhyun] The Deal

WhereAre we going? Didnt I say it; the hospital. Huh? Just now, the company called. Remember last time when the group went for the health check, the hospital said that there were some areas for you that needed to be rechecked. Ah, so thats why. Every year during year-end, the company would arrange for its artistes to get a health check at the hospital. We had ours around a week ago. I nodded, but immediately thought of something. The wounds on my bodywhat if Tae Shin Hyung knew about them. Umm, will I have a full body check? Nope, just uhh...a few scans or some sort. I heaved a breath. Thank goodness. We registered after reaching the hospital, and then Tae Shin Hyung brought me to one of the rooms. I was seated down and asked a few questions, afterwards, I was ushered to take CT scans. Actually during the initial health check, there wasnt a section where we had to go for CT scans. But I had no energy to inspect. Maybe I was looking terrible in my current state; the normally stern Tae Shin Hyung was rather nice to me and took good care of me. We went back to the room to wait for the forms. After taking a call, Tae Shin Hyung said, Look at you, lets go have you get an IV drip later. Alright. Hyung, since youre busy, maybe you should get back to work. I can manage by myself. Look at yourself, you barely have energy to talk. Umis your body not feeling well recently? He asked me with a frown. Nope, Im good. He nodded, not speaking, looking like he was deep in thought. After receiving the forms, we went to register for an IV Drip. Along the way, I felt dizzy and my vision was blurry, but I heard someone call my name.

Byun Baekhyun? I turned around to look at the person a few steps away from me. He had a rather big stature and looked familiar. I was suddenly hit with realisation, my unclear mind immediately unclouded. Isnt that person Wu Yifan? I was stoned at my place, not knowing how to react. Tae Shin Hyung looked at me with curiosity, and whispered, Isnt that person the CEO of SmartMerry Company? AhIm not sure. The two of you know each other? No I mumbled to myself, alert of the person who was approaching me. However, Wu Yifan acting as if we were close friends, stood in front of me. Are you okay? He smiled pleasantly. I watched him coldly without speaking. Of course Im okay beaten up by your people, followed by Park Chanyeols punishment last night. Thanks to you. I could not be better. Mr Wu, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Tae Shin Hyung immediately reached out to shake hands with the man. Nice to meet you too. Im Baekhyuns manager Tae Shin. Ah, I wasnt aware that the both of you knew each other. Wu Yifan smiled, It hasnt been that long since we got to know each other though, He then turned to me, Why are you at the hospital, are you sick? I eyed him coldly, unwilling to speak. Tae Shin Hyung nudged me, forcing me to speak. Im just here for an extra check-up. You dont look too well. Yeah. I bet Tae Shin Hyung was reprimanding me harshly in his mind this impolite brat. He immediately added on, Baekhyun has a fever and is not feeling well, were about to go get him an IV Drip. I turned to look away, trying to seem like I was in a good condition.

How about this, Mr Jung, Ill bring Baekhyun to get the IV Drip, you can go back first. I turned around to look at him incredulously. How can that be I havent seen you for long anyway. Just nice, we can catch up on each other. Catch up on what? It was only yesterday when I got to learn about your existence. Ill send him back afterwards, Wu Yifan continued to pester on. What did he want? I looked at him, confused, wanting to decline his offer. However, Tae Shin Hyung was already complying. Thatd be nice. Sorry for troubling you though, Mr Wu. Such luck Baekhyun has to have a friend like you. Yeah. I cant be luckier. I watched Tae Shin Hyung leave, while Wu Yifan looked at me with an amused expression. What exactly do you want, I looked at him with no expression. Lets go, arent you going to get the IV Drip? He reached over, wanting to put his arms across my shoulders, but was avoided. I continued to stare at him. Well, His smile turned a little dangerous, are you not going to treat your sickness? I can go alone. Please leave. He did not speak, instead, reached over to grab my arm. But I immediately shook it off. Unexpectedly, the papers in my hand fell out, scattering all over the floor. SeriouslyAnnoyed, I bent down to pick up the papers. However, when I stood up, there was a flash of darkness before my eyes. Just when I was about to fall, I was held onto by him. Dont be stubborn. Just follow me. I sat on the hospital bed, leaning on the pillow against the bedframe while looking out of the window. I did not ask Wu Yifan about why he appeared in the hospital, simply because I could not be bothered. Just like how I was about the fact that he helped me avoid the registration process - by bring me to a well-furnished single bed ward.

I pulled my jacket tighter to myself. The single bed ward had a much better heater system, but the IV Drip was still of its cold temperature. maybe I would never get to witness Chanyeol standing by my bed and warming the IV Drip, in my whole life. Do you feel better. I could hear Wu Yifan say. Why. Huh? Why are you doing this? Pretending to be nice to me, doesnt it seem fake? Because He reached over to touch my cheeks, but I turned my head aside, disgusted. Because Im interested in you. He was unaffected, even by the fact that I chose to ignore him. Instead, he sat down beside me opening his mouth to speak as if it was just another daily conversation. Today, Ms Hayeons company called me again, asking me to bring her to fame. I turned around to face him in a flash. He smiled, as if he had received his expected response. I feel troubled; tell me what should I do? He pretended to put on a worried expression. Let me warn you, dont you dare touch her again. I looked at him angrily, except I was weak with sickness, it did not sound the least bit threatening. Thats why, Im worried, He said, though his tone was playful, Her management company had a partnership with mine, I cant let them down. But you Haam I really in your concern. And as I have said, I dont do business where I am at loss, so, He stared at me intently, I have thought of the perfect solution. I did not speak, waiting for him to finish his words. Since you dont want that woman to be touched that desperately, then Lee Hayeon, I will continue to push her to fame. However, the originally planned services, would be done by you. What...does he mean? I looked at him with shock. Of course, I never force people; you may feel free to decline. But if you do, I have no other option but to make the deal with the girl. Youre an insane freak

He had no reaction to my words, instead, looked at me while smiling, If you are unwilling then Im willing. I said softly, while looking down. What did you said? I said, deal. His smile turned meaningful, Byun Baekhyun, you never fail to disappoint me. I closed my eyes, feeling the wave of fatigue hit me.
