NEFARIOUS - TAEGYU ??

Taehyun wakes up to a mouth-watering smell, invading his nostrils. He catches his silent surrounding apart from his heavy breathing and the beep sound you often hear in hospitals that indicates you're alive. He slowly opens his eyes, squinting at the broad daylight seeping through the curtains, attempting to sharpen the blurred images before him. He looks down at his arm to find a plaster over it instead of a tube in it. He glances around to find a middle age woman, setting down a tray of food on the bed stand. The woman glimpse at the latter, eyes in shock and her lips curve into a sweet smile.

"I've prepared breakfast. Eat up. Sir Choi would like to meet you at his office later. I'll send in someone to take you there. There are a few clothes in the wardrobe there, freshen up once you're done." The woman bows, before exiting the room.

Taehyun nods and smiles.

Taehyun glances at the dish, containing toasted bread with bacon and eggs, a glass of orange juice he assumes beside it. He glances over the fancy cutleries. Instead of eating with them, he uses his hands. Taehyun had never eaten a meal using cutleries, as far as he remembers. He takes a handful of egg and spreads it on the toast, placing the strips of bacon on it before eating it. His face lights up at the delicious meal, he had never tasted anything as good as it, all he remembers is the salty taste, the taste of iron and the taste of dirt lingering in his mouth. He doesn't recall any of his memories, but his senses seem to do.

After freshening up, he walks over to the wardrobe and grabs the first thing he see; a black shirt with black knee shorts before walking out from the room. The woman earlier said someone would be outside to escort him to Sir Choi's office but no one's to be seen. Taehyun closes the door behind him, hesitantly and boldly, he starts walking down the empty hallway, exploring the incredible interior of the house. He walks pass room by room, eyes still sparkling in bewilderment until he finds a room, door left ajar. He enters the room quietly to find tall and long shelves, covering the walls that is filled with books. The brown hair boy mouths a 'wow' as he traces his fingers along the spines of the books.

His eyes land on a certain book, with the title 'Through the Eyes' and pulls it out from the shelves.

'Reading a bit wouldn't hurt, right?' Taehyun thinks.

He takes the book with him and sits at the corner, on the floor and starts flipping to the first page.

A few minutes later, a man walks pass the room, halting his step to peek into the room, finding the brown hair boy immersing himself in a book in his hands. The man knocks on the door, surprising Taehyun who immediately shuts the book close.

"Am I intruding?" Seojun asks.

Taehyun shook his head as he is face to face with the man. He takes in the image of the man. He wore a tank top, revealing his sleeve of tattoos on his right arm. He had wrinkles on his face that portrayed his age, although he was incredibly fit.

"I sent one of the butlers to get you but, it seemed you decided to explore the house a bit." Seojun says, kneeling on one knee to face Taehyun.

Taehyun bows his head with an apologetic look.

"You don't talk much, do you?"

Taehyun shook his head.

Seojun looks at the book Taehyun has in his hand and points at it. "Do you enjoy reading?"

Taehyun nods with a smile.

Seojun nods. "Taehyun, I have a few things to talk to you about. Would you mind following me to my office?"

Taehyun felt hesitant at first but then he remembers that this man in front of him was the one who kindly treated him, fed him and provided him shelter despite not knowing who he was, especially Taehyun who lost his memories.
