TIMY: Chapter 5

Gabriel’s POV

"The two conditions are..." my father said as he was thinking.

"What is it dad?" I asked him as I looked at him with full of anticipation and nervousness.

"Okay, first be the top in class at the end of this semester" he said.

That's easy! But I got scared when my father changed his expression.

What the hell is he planning to do!?

How I wish I had the power to read minds.

He's staring at me intensively.

"Last but not the least, be my secretary until the semester ends" he said.

Say what!? What the hell!

No way! Asked me to clean the bathroom, the garden or this whole f*cking house but just don't ask me to do business and office works.

Gosh, I already had enough on my plate and dad will still ask me this!

One more thing, how can I focus on my study!?

Just what are these impossible things is he asking me to do!

"Dad, buy how could I do that, I have classes?" I asked him. I hope he changed his mind or at least asked me to do something else just not to be his secretary!

"Don't give me that look, son. I'm doing this for you, learn how to manage your time. One day, when I leave this world, aside from you no one will handle this business that I build with my sweat and blood. You're my only child. I believe in you so believe in yourself also" he explained to me.

I sighed heavily. Damn! No choice.

I looked at my mom. She just smiled at me. That kind of smile as if she is encouraging me.

I took a deep breath and answered my father.

"I understand dad, challenge accepted. I'll be your secretary" I said to him.

"Good, then be ready, tomorrow will be your first day" he said smiling at me.

What!? Tomorrow!? As in tomorrow!?

"But dad~"

"No buts son. I know your class schedule, remember? After your class, Chen will pick you up and you'll be sent to the company. You will spend your vacant hours being a secretary to me. Don't worry your out is 4:30, so it means you will have the time to rest and fo your school works" dad said with finality cutting me off

Shit! No more escape and no excuse.

Great! See you tomorrow so f*cking boring office!

"I understand dad," I said to him.

We continue eating. After dinner, I washed the dishes then after that I went back inside of my room. I laid in my bed and got my phone.

I played the video of that band again and saved it in my phone. I drifted off to sleep while listening to it.

Michael’s POV

After our performance tonight, Zico, one of our friends, uploaded our videos.

It immediately garnered many reactions and comments.

We stayed here in the bar for another some time before we went home.

I will not literally go “home”, I sleep tonight in my condo.

My condo is closer to my school, than my parents’ house.

I will just sleep here if, for example, tonight we had a gig and tomorrow I need to go to school early because I have to report on my duty.

Yes, we are currently under training before our actual internship in the hospitals.

For now we will duty on the school clinic.

Although it’s just a clinic, they still set certain rules and no. 1 in the list is don’t be late.

That’s why tonight I will stay here.

As soon as I went inside my condo I went straight to my room.

I took shower and changed my clothes.

I laid in my bed and got my phone.

I checked the videos that Zico uploaded earlier. I also read some comments.

I scrolled down the comment section, there’s a name that caught my attention.

Han Geol? It sounds familiar.

I clicked his name and went to his timeline to check if it’s him. It’s really him.

God knows how long it has been since the last time we talked.

Han Geol is part of my group, the very first group I formed.

He is our guitarist and when it comes to dancing he is our main dancer that time.

Out of all the members that I have that time he’s the closest to me.

He is like my younger brother. When he said to me at that time that he will quit the band, I was really hurt and sad.

He said to me that his mother decided to move back to her country.

As he left we also lost communication. I was really affected by his departure and it led me to disband my group because I felt like my wings were broken.

But Hyung Min didn’t leave me after the disbandment and through his help I got back on my feet and formed a new group which will be celebrating it’s 4 years anniversary.

That’s really the main reason for our travel this coming semestral break.

“Good evening Han! I hope you could still remember me” I messaged him through the messenger when I saw him online.

After 2 minutes he saw my chat but didn’t reply to me back. Maybe he is still figuring out who messaged him.

I waited another minute before he replied.

“Michael, hyung?” he chatted.

“Yes, It’s me Han!” I replied

Han-”Gosh! Long time no talk hyung!”

Me-”Yes it’s been so long already. How are you bro?”

Han-”I’m fine here hyung.How about you hyung?”

Me-”I’m doing fine also here”

Han-”Sorry that it took me a while before replying because I’m not sure if it’s really you or not”

Me-”Don’t worry it’s okay I understand. There are many people who uses pictures even though it’s not them that’s why I rarely post a picture and I didn’t have permanent social media accounts”

Han-”That’s why I tried searching your name but I could find you hyung”

Me-”I tried to search you also but I got trapped and tied up with my family and school issues”

Han-”It’s okay, I understand. We are the same page”

Han-”Oww sorry hyung to cut our conversation but it’s getting late I need to sleep, I need to wake up early tomorrow.

Me-”it’s okay, let’s catch up more when we are free”

Han-”Good night hyung!”

Me-”Good night”

After our conversation ended, I went back to his timeline.

As I scrolled down to his timeline, there's a picture that caught my attention.

I take a closer look at the picture. I think it’s a stolen shot because it was a little blurry.

It was a little side view of a man while writing.

I zoomed the picture though it’s a little blurry, you could still see how flawless his skin is.

His plump red lips are so delicious like I want to devour it.

Gosh is it okay that he is so beautiful instead of handsome?

Wait, wait, shit! What’s happening to me!?

What am I saying damn! For Pete’s sake Michael It’s a man!

It can’t be! No you can’t be Michael! Stop you craziness Mew!

I turned off my phone and placed it on the bedside table and laid back to the bed.

I closed my eyes as I tried to sleep, but damn it!

His face appeared in my mind shit!

I rubbed my face and messed my hair as if I’m erasing the image in my brain.

I opened my eyes when I felt something weird in my chest.

F*ck why is heart beating so fast just by his image?

No, it can be maybe it’s just the effect of alcohol but I just have shots earlier.

I think I need to have to check up on my heart.

I closed my eyes again and tried to sleep.
