The Bachelor's Pad.

Chen Yi followed Yunzo out of the building. There was something about the sight in front of him that filled him with pleasantness.

Yunzo was dragging Chen Yi's suitcase and also his carry bag. He was also wearing his own back pack. He walked a little ahead of Chen Yi talking on the phone. He looked around and spotted a car parked of the other side of the road.

Yunzo hung up and put his phone in his back pocket. He caught hold of Chen Yi's hand and dragged him along to cross the road. Chen Yi's mind stopped working. Was it really that normal to grab someone's arm while crossing the street?

It was alomost 8 now. Chen Yi's uncle talked to Yunzo a little bit more about stuff Chen Yi quite didn't understand. So it was late.

Chen Yi was tired from his flight for he didn't get to rest . As soon as his flight landed he was kidnapped by his uncle's men and brought to his office. His uncle was quite furious for Chen Yi hadn't come with any bodyguards.

But his tiredness didn't stop him from staring shamelessly at Yunzo as though he was trying to drill a hole in his head. He looked really handsome with street lamps light falling on his face.

" Are you making a plan to murder me? " Yunzo asked without looking at Chen Yi, walking swiftly over to the other side of the road.

Chen Yi flinched. Looking away.

" N-nuh. "

Yunzo chuckled.

" Uncle asked me to take you to your own home day after tomorrow. For today, you sleep with my team in an apartment we share. So that they can get to know you. Don't worry. They are quiet friendly. " He assured.

Once they reached the car, Yunzo opened the door of the passenger seat. Chen Yi smiled internally at this gentleman behavior. Was it really inappropriate to feel this delicate right now? Chen Yi scoffed internally. ' why can't I sit in the front? ' but his question was answered when he saw there was already someone seated in the drivers seat.

Yunzo slightly kept his hand on his Chen Yi's head as he sat inside. He doubled back to put the suit case in the trunk.

The boy in the driver's seat was as the same age as Yunzo.His hair were jet black and eyes brown. He was wearing a white tshirt with a red checkered shirt with it's button open. He paired it with grey cargo pants. He had a black sling bag around his neck and a.. Medical kit? It was filled bandages , cotton and liquids. He looked around at Chen Yi amd bowed his head.

" Good evening " He greeted politely.

Chen Yi too bowed a little but before he could return the greeting, Yunzo entered the car to sit in the shot gun. Since Chen Yi was seated on the left in the passenger seat, he could clearly see Yunzo on the front right side.

Once Yunzo sat down , he removed his denim jacket and Chen Yi froze, a gasp escaping his mouth.

'WHAT THE-' Chen Yi thought horrified. His eyes going wide.

Yunzo's left sleeve of the shirt was covered with deep red.

" You srsly are going to dirty my car! " The boy groaned looking at Yunzo's shoulder.

'THAT SHOULD BE THE LAST THING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT RIGHT NOW!!! ' Chen Yi screamed internally.

He made to speak but Yunzo stuck his tongue at the boy.

" I will clean it for you. Ok? " He offered.

" You better. " The boy glared, taking out a pair of scissors from his kit. He twisted his body and cut open the shoulder part of the shirt. He then took the cotton with the twessers and cleaned off the blood from the wound.

When the blood was cleaned, the wound came into the view. It was a short horizontal cut along the shoulder.

" Hmm.. You won't need stitches. It isn't deep. Lemme just clean it up and bandage it. It will heal by itself. " The boy diagnosed. " If you feel pain.. U can take some painkillers. I have them at home. "

" Anything but those tablets. I don't want them" Yunzo grunted unpleasantly and let his head fall back on the car's seat.

The boy started dapping the ointment on the wound causing yunzo to hiss. He winced and when he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the rear view mirror. He frowned looking at the pale Chen Yi who was staring at his wound with so much pity and worry.

Yunzo leaned forward and took a polythene bag and turned around to hand it to Chen Yi.

" Are you going to puke? " He asked as Chen Yi quietly accepted the polythene bag just in case. Chen Yi hadn't seen this much blood before. Something about it made impossible for him to look away, but it also stirred something uncomfortable in his stomach.

" Does it hurt? " He asked timidly, in a tiny voice still not looking away from the wound, which the boy was bandaging.

The boy laughed.

" He? Hurt? Ah.... It will take death for him to feel hurt. I assure you. " The boy said.

" No it doesn't hurt. " Yunzo replied soothingly.

"There done " The boy said, keeping the rest of the bandage in the box and closing it.

" Did you just finish your class? " Yunzo asked the boy, moving his newly bandaged arm around as if ti check if it still worked or not.

" Yah. I swear I m on the verge of exhaustion. Ah.. And I got a call from Jay. 5 of the children were recognised and sent away with their parents. Still 3 of them are left. " The boy informed. " How was it at your end? "

" Ah.. I blew up the whole place. Seriously those jerks... They were so persistent..." Yunzo sighed.

"By the way, he is our new assignment. " Yunzo said indicating Chen Yi in the back. Chen Yi felt like a object . Being referred to as an assignment.

Chen Yi was seriously scared now. What sort of people did his uncle set him up with. Kids? Blew up the place? Chen Yi clustered himself towards the corner of the seat as thought he would be eaten alive. He fell like puppy among a group of wolves.

"His is that.. Nephew of Mr Li. Li Chen Yi. " Yunzo introduced.

"Ah.. Nice to meet you sir. " The boy greeted.

" Me too. " Chen Yi croaked, his voice breaking up a little. He didn't feel like he could talk now. Suddenly he seemed to have forgot how to speak.

" Why doesn't that sound genuine though? " Yunzo said turning around to look at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi flinched.

" Are you okay? " Yunzo asked slowly.

" Just tired. " Chen Yi replied.

Yunzo furrowed his eyebrows. Then a sudden realisation hit him. He looked at Chen Yi in disbelief.

" You don't know..? " He asked.

" Know what? "

" You.. Ah... That jerk really.. " Yunzo said refering to

the uncle and running his hand through his hair.

He sighed.

" Don't worry. We are not dangerous ok? Be comfortable. We will reach in a few minutes. You are fine with us. " Yunzo assured.

Somehow Chen Yi relaxed. He wasn't the type to trust someone easily but Yunzo made him feel at ease.

The boy sped up the car.

In a few minutes they arrived at a 1 storey house.

It was clean looking ,white and sky blue in colour. They entered the driveway. Chen Yi could see a door at the far right end of house. And on the left was a huge garage door. Yunzo stuck his hand out to and showed the sensor present there, a card.

The garage door started to open.led silently. They drove in.

Chen Yi gaped at the inside. The lights started switching on automatically as they entered the garage. The white ceiling was little low with circular flat lights on it. There were atleast 4 cars there. The boy parked the car in the space between two black cars.He got off and came to open Chen Yi's door.

By the time Chen Yi got off.Yunzo was already taking out the lugage.

" You must be tired. Let's go up. " The boy said guiding Chen Yi to the door on the very end of the left side of the garage. Yunzo followed behind .

"This is the elevator." The boy said pointng and the steel coloured doors on the opposite of the garage door. "Those are the stairs.You can use any of them" The stairs were beside the elevator. "That is the front door. " The boy pointes at the door opposite to the stairs. The corridor was narrow. There weren't any rooms. Just a staircase and an elevator.

Garage took up most of the space on the ground floor.

They got into the elevator which started going up. There were just three floors' button . Ground. 1st and 2nd.

With a ting, the elevators doors opened directly in to the apartment. A wave of delicious smell hit Chen Yi. He immediately began to salivate. Did Chen Yi mention he was a fan of good food. He admires a good cook. And treats delicious foods like God.

" Aah.. Jay hyung!!! " Yunzo exclaimed. He hurriedly got out of the elevator and put the lugage beside the elevators doors.

" It smells soooo good!! " Yunzo said, immediately fleeing off towards the kitchen.

The elevators opened to reveal a dining table with 10 chairs. There was a basket of fruits and a glass jar of water. On the right side was the kitchen without a door. There were cupboards attached to the walls both on the above and bottom. The counter tops were mixed grey and black. There was also a marble counter top place in the middle, cutting the kitchen plot in a 'U' shape.

" You are late, Yunzo-ah!! " Jay said. Turning around to greet a pair of eager black eyes.

Jay was a short 21 year old. His hair were dyed pink and bangs covered his forehead. His eyes were like that of a cat with black doe like pupils. His skin was smooth and well taken care off. His slender body figure ratio was perfect.

Right now Jay was wearing a navy blue checkered apron and cooking dinner.

" I am sorry hyung. What are you making? " Yunzo asked enthusiastically. " Can I help? " He asked.

Yunzo loved cooking with his Jay hyung.

" Ahem " The boy who was still beside Chen Yi cleared is throat. " First let's do an introduction.Our guest is tired."

"A guest? " Jay asked.

" Oh yes hyung. Come . Let's go to the living room." Yunzo said grabbing Jay's arm.

Chen Yi looked at Yunzo's hand grabbing the so called Jay.

'Yup.. I guess it's normal for hum to grab hands. ' he sighed.

" Come with me. " The boy said guiding Chen Yi to the opposite direction of the kitchen.

The left side of the dinning table opened in to a circular hall. It was large enough to have a circular couches arranged in 3/4th circle. In the front to the couch was a circular glass coffee table.

There was also a big screen TV kept further away from the couch. Behind the TV the was sliding glass door which open into balcony.

Every thing was in the colour of white, cream, coffee or brown. It looked really pleasant and comfortable. There was random decorations such as plants or glass antiques. There photo frames on the walls too.

As the boy led Chen Yi, Chen Yi spoke up.

" I never got your name. "

" Ah my bad. " The boy replied. " It's Min Sang-Ho. You called me Sang-Ho "he smiled.

" Ah.. Sang-Ho.. " Chen Yi murmured.

Chen Yi looked around. Of course he has seen fancy houses before, but this one surprised him. The fact that mere students could afford such housing made him wonder who exactly they were.Did they have rich parents or something.

There were doors on the walls of the hall. Yunzo walked to the first one.

" ALEX!! COME OUT!! " Yunzo yelled, knocking furiously at the door. He moved to the next one.

" Lee Han ! Come out. I want you to meet someone. " Yunzo said loudly, knocking politely on the door.

The first door opened to reveal a sleepy looking bluff boy. His black hair were sticking out in all directions. His puffy eyes were still closed.

" Hya! What's the difference between Lee Han and me!?! It felt like rocks hitting my head. " Alex groaned.

Yunzo rolled his eyes.

"The same difference there is between a donkey and a horse. " He replied.

The second door opened . A skinny boy in black hoodie and thick glasses came out. There were headphones around his collar.

" What? Dinner is ready? " He asked , sniffing around.

" No. There someone you should meet. Come to the couch. " Sang-Ho said.

Chen Yi sat in the middle.

Yunzo sat on his right side and Jay on his left. Alex took the seat beside Yunzo . Sung-Ho sat beside Jay.

Lee Han sat on the ground resting his back in the couch and pulling his knees to his chest.

" This Chen Yi. Mr. Li's nephew... U remember? " Yunzo asked.

Everyone looked at Chen Yi with big eyes. Chen Yi really wanted to hide. Bt he didn't. He sat there, still as a rock.

' they are just children ' he kept thinking

" Yeah! " They all said in sync.

" We have to bodyguard him.. ALL THE TIME. Never leave him alone. He is our new assignment. "

" Just bodyguard? " Lee Han asked, scratching his forehead.

"Yeah"

"Well. Alex can do that. He is the only one who can do it for now. We all have our schedules set. I can't change them until we finish of the kidnapping case. Not the mention.We all have exams coming. " Lee Han explained.

Yunzo sighed. "Let's not think about that now"

He looked at Chen Yi.

" Mr. Li. Let me introduce you to my team. " Chen Yi nodded, wanting his nosy instincts to get some satisfaction.

Yunzo pointed at Lee Han.

" That is Lee Han. He is a computer freak. " Yunzo introduced.

" Hullo. " Lee Han greeted, lazily.

" That is Min Sang-Ho. He is a medical student. He has experience of being a nurse at his parents hospital. "

" We met alright. " Sang-Ho said winking at Chen Yi.

" That is Jay hyung. Jung Jaesun. He is in entertainment major. His acting skills are something to talk about. "

" Hi!!! It's nice to meet you. Don't hesitate to ask for anything from me. I will help you!! " Jay chirped, smiling brightly.

Chen Yi chuckled. " Sure" he replied.

"And this is Kim taesun. Who goes by the name Alex . He studies online, and his social skills suck. He hits the gym everyday. But still couldn't get a girlfriend."Yunzo said.

" Hello there. " Alex said gruffly,he then looked at Yunzo " I don't want a girlfriend " He said.

" Perhaps a boyfriend? " Lee Han offered, grinning.

" NO THANKS!! And if the introductions are over.. I m going to bed!! " Alex stood up and returned to his room, stomping.

They laughed at the childish Alex.

" And I m Choi Yunzo. " Yunzo said, getting up.

" And i m also hungry. Hyung!!! " He whined looking at Jay.

Jay chuckled. " Let's go. Help me with the dishes. "

The pair walked away to the kitchen. Lee Han returned to his room and Sung-Ho followed Lee Han into the same saying that he has to take a shower.

Chen Yi sat there dumbfounded.

' " I m Choi Yunzo" That's it?!?? Only that much?!?

What about what you do?!? Or what you study?!? Nothing?!? Just " I m choi Yunzo"??!Hah!! That

fucking bastard. ' Chen Yi's thoughts were all over the place. He was frustrated and the cause was Choi Yunzo.
