Punishment

Yichan sighed and apologized, "I am sorry for making you worried but this was very important and I didn't want to wake you up."

"This is the second time you have left my side while I was sleeping." Pausing for a while, she added, "Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?"

Hesitating for a while, he answered, "It's nothing like that and it's nothing very serious, I'll be home soon so don't worry anymore."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After hanging up the call, Yichan slumped in his chair and sighed. He didn't like lying to her at all but he had no other choice.

Just then Guiren entered the office along with his special office wine bottle. "I always keep this just in case I feel like drinking it when it's a hectic day."

"It's not like I didn't want to tell you but I just wanted to confirm a few things before discussing it with others," Yichan explained.
