A BET between a MAFIA and your DAD

chapter 17

In the mansion
Taehtung carried you to your room and laid you down on your warm bed. He sat down next to you and watched you sleep peacefully.

Just then, Jungkook walked in. "What are we gonna do about the meeting?"

Taehyung sighed and took off his coat, "I want you to attend the meeting instead of me."

Jungkook looked at him shocked, "What?! I can't do that. The guests are gonna be mad."

"We prepared for the meeting together. You know what to do. Don't worry, I will be navigating the meeting from here. Now go." Taehyung said.

"Ah, this guy!" Jungkook stormed out.

After few hours

You slowly opened your body and felt your body heating up. You felt a presence beside you so you turned your head to look. Taehyung was sitting on the bed with his eyes glued to his laptop. 

You suddenly remembered how you were clinging to him earlier and crying. Your face turned red in embarrassment.

"You're awake?" He asked, catching you off guard. He put down his laptop and reached for your cheeks. You slightly closed your eyes when you felt his cold palm touch your cheeks.

"Your fever still hasn't gone down." He said with his knitted eyebrows. He then pressed a button on the telephone next to the bed.

After a few minutes, Mary walked in with a bowl of porridge. "Leave that here and bring some cold medicine." He ordered.

"Yes sir." She went to fetch the medicine. He grabbed the bowl and scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it close to your face.

"I can eat it myself." You said in a breathless voice.

"You are too weak right now. You can eat yourself after you get well." You hesitantly opened your mouth and let him feed you.

"Is it too hot?" He asked and you just shook your head. He smiled secretly, 'Such a good girl.'

At night

"Sir, do you want me to stay with Y/n and look after her, tonight?" Mary asked. "No, it's okay. I will stay." Mary bowed and left.

He turned around to see you peacefully sleeping. He sat next to you and combed your soft locks with his fingers.

He flinched when you suddenly kicked the duvet and turned your head other way. "Hot…" you whined.

He smiled and grazed his finger tips on your cheeks to which you responded with a light moan.

You slightly opened your eyes and grabbed his hand and rested your cheeks on his cool palm.

You slowly closed your eyes and fell back asleep immediately. He broke into a light chuckle.

Next day

You woke up when you heard someone rustling around your room. You slowly opened your eyes and saw Jungkook organizing some papers in the corner.

You looked around and saw Taehyung putting on his tie in the mirror. You slowly lifted yourself to sit up and something dropped from your forehead on your lap. It was a wet towel.

"You're awake? How are you feeling? You had a fever the whole night." You saw Taehyung walk towards you and sit next to you. 'Did he stay awake the whole night and take care of me?'

You looked up at him. He pushed a few strands of your hair away from your face and gave you a smile.

"Are you hungry?" You slowly nodded your head. "Hm, I will tell Mary to bring you breakfast." He said and pressed a button on the telephone next to your bed. 

"I'm going first. I will wait for you in the car." Jungkook said and walked out with his papers.

"Sorry, I need to go to work. Eat properly and don't forget to have your medicine. Okay?" You nodded your head.

He kissed your forehead, "I will be home early." He stood up and left.

You stared at his back and you couldn't help but feel awfully sad. You clenched your fist and tried to control your emotions. You wish you could say, 'Don't leave.'

A few days later

After having meetings the whole day, Taehyung finally stepped inside his mansion.

He took off his coat and let out a loud tired sigh. Today's meetings had drained a lot of his energy and he was in a quite bad mood. 

He went straight into the living room in search of you. You were lying on the long luxurious sofa with blankets wrapped around your body.

Your head resting on a pillow you brought from your room. Your nose red and eyes droopy because of the cold.  But still your eyes were fixed on the huge TV screen.

He walked towards you and sat on the sofa awell. "You are here again instead of your bed."  He sighed.

"I got lonely in my room." You lightly smiled. He carefully helped you to sit up. "How are you feeling today?"

"She had a mild fever in the afternoon." Mary said, coming out of the kitchen. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.

"How come she is taking so long to recover? It's as if the medicine has no effect on her. Call the doctor. She needs a check up."
"Yes sir."  Mary said.

Within 30 minutes, the doctor showed up.

"It's just a cold. Her immunity is very low, that is why she can't recover fast. I suggest a healthy meal and a lot of vitamin C. Also I will prescribe a little stronger medicine for her." With that the doctor left.

After showing the doctor to the door, Taehyung came back and stood in front of you.  He looked at all the empty snack packets on the ground.

"That's it! You are banned from having any more junk food." He announced.

You looked up at him in shock. Mary, who was standing beside you two, also looked at Taehyung with a little shock.

"You heard what the doctor said, right?" He asked Mary. "Yes sir." Mary said and looked at you in pity who was still frozen due to shock.

"Now come on, you better rest." He swiftly picked up off the sofa and walked towards your room.

"B-but but…." You were cut off. "No buts." He continued walking with you in his arms.

Within the next week, you were healthy and well, thanks to all the vitamin C and healthy food.

One day after school

Taehyung watched you creeping outside the kitchen. "What are you doing? You have been standing there for about 30 minutes now." He said, placing down his papers on the table and folding his arms.

"Ah… ah don't you think all the snacks in the pantry will go bad if we don't eat it?" You said, laughing nervously.

"I don't think they are gonna go bad anytime soon." He replied. You slowly pouted, giving up. He couldn't help but smile secretly.

"Fine. You can have those. But only on weekends." He announced. A wide smile appeared on your lips.

"Really?" You asked. "Hm." He nodded. "But make sure not to eat too much. You don't wanna get sick again." "Okayy~"

<Unknown place>

"Did you hear? Taehyung has a girl in his house."

"Hm, must be one of his sluts."

"No, it's a high school girl. She is living with him."

"Oh? Really?"

"*smirk* I think it's time we pay him a visit."
