Always Here For You : My Secret Knight

On the way to the comfort room, Yillan was holding onto the wall, her head was spinning, she was walking while tipsy and out of balance. She forced herself to walk straight but her vision was swaying. She didn't know that the drink was strong, they said it's just a light. They kept pouring the alcohol onto her glass and now, she's already drunk and tipsy, she closed her eyes and she felt like she was inside the limbo, she couldn't think right.

In the corridor of the bar, Zai was on her way to their private room when suddenly something bumped into him. Before the girl completely lost her balance, he managed to grab her by the waist and pull her up

To his surprise, the girl in his hand was Yillan and she's drunk.

"What the hell is she doing here?"

Oh! I'm so...sorry"

She said while bowing her head twice.

"Are you alright?" 

He asked with a cold but concerned voice. 

"Where are you going?"

She's really drunk and didn't manage to recognize the man in front of her.

"I just want...wanted to go in the com...fort room"

Then she walked away swaying, holding onto the wall, and almost dropped herself again!

Zai who's in surprising mode immediately ran to catch her again and help her get to the comfort room.

While waiting outside, Zai was still dazed. For almost 5 years that had passed since the last time they saw each other, they met again but unexpectedly, in a bar?! Worst is, Yillan didn't seem to recognize him because of her current drunk state.

He was there for some business. Their client invited him to drink and he couldn't say no, because it was an important deal.  

"Louie take care of our client, I have to go first, I have important matters (it's a person) to attend to"

Calling and telling her personal secretary.

"What's wrong Mr. Ford? Where's CEO Lee?"

Mr. Ang, their new client asked.

"Oh, Mr. Ang!"

 He said while pouring him a drink

"The CEO called and said that he was sorry, he had an emergency at home and he had to go first but, he said he would make it up to you."

Louie said, lying for his boss but smiling confidently.

"Let's drink Mr. Ang! Cheers!"

 Raising their glasses.

It's been 10 mins. and Yillan is still not coming out. Zai, being worried about her well-being, doesn't know what to do. Some ladies coming out from the comfort room are giggling and laughing while looking at him with curiosity. When all the ladies in comfort were all out, he decided to go inside.

Then suddenly the drunk Yillan came out holding her head and just walking through him as if he didn't exist. He just followed her walking drunkenly, then came a man who almost bumped into her!

“Be ALERT!”

Zai pulled her and put his arms around her shoulder, assisting her while walking. Showing a "She's mine look" to the man.

The man just scratched his head and glanced at them, he felt shivered with Zai’s deep cold stare.

After a while...

"HEY!!! What are you doing!?"

Yillan said while removing Zai's arms around her shoulder, she pushed him away.

"What do you think you're doing? Hah! Are you a Pervert!!??"

She shouted drunk and loud while pointing her fingers at him. 

"Hahaha..do you think I'm drunk?! No…I AM not drunk! You can't take advantage of meee~!"

She said, still shouting while waving and pointing her hands at herself.

Zai let out a small smile thinking "Yah! That's my girl! Now I'm relieved that even if you’re drunk you can't be easily taken advantage of."

He then raised an eyebrow and moved closer to her. He looked straight into her eyes.

"Let's go Yil."

 He said in a cold and commanding voice.

"What? l-let's go? w-where??"

She couldn't resist those two deep blue eyes telling her to oblige or else…

"Ok…"

In the end, she agreed to him, like a child being scolded. She couldn’t do anything but nod her head.

He held her one arm while the other one was around her waist. They walked out of the bar, not minding the staring eyes around them. He released Yillan’s hand to get his cell phone and call his driver.

"Driver Yang, where are you? I'm outside the bar now."

When he turns back, Yillan's not on his side. He looked around, then found her at the corner of the street, sitting beside the lamp post while hugging her knees like a little child.

(Zai)

"What are you doing here?"

 Zai asked gently while sitting on one knee and facing her

"Hmmm…"

 Yillan looked up to Zai and said…

"Where are we going?"

"We're going home Yil"

"Home? I live in a big house but I don't have a home"

Yillan’s face somehow looked down, and she was talking like a little child. Seeing her in that state, Zai couldn’t help but feel a slight pain in his heart.

Then suddenly, Yillan just stood up and her face brightened. 

Yillan’s face somehow looked down, and she was talking like a little child. Seeing her in that state, Zai couldn’t help but feel a slight pain in his heart. 

Then suddenly, Yillan just stood up and her face brightened.

"Can you take me to your home?"

She said in a child-like manner while swinging her hands.

"Please? Please…? Can you take me home?"

"Ok, we will go home now"

said Zai, while nodding his head

"Yehey! Yehey!"

She shouted joyfully while clapping and went to hug Zai.

Then suddenly…

 “Blaaargggghh…”

Yillan just threw up in his suit…

He just stood there and didn’t move. Instead, he pats Yillan’s back gently while asking her.

"Yillan are you ok?"

After that, she slowly lost consciousness. He caught her in his arms and carried her to the car.

"Driver Yang let's go."

He commanded and then proceeded to remove his coat.

"Yes, young master"

Mister Yang then started the engine and drove the car.

Driver Yang was surprised to see his master in that state, wearing a puked suit, in his patience mode, and the car reeks of alcohol.

He is always very strict on cleanliness and has a sensitive nose but now...

He's curious who the girl is? To put his master in this mess. She's sleeping soundly beside Zai.

When they arrived at the Empire Tower, one of the guards greeted him and was shocked to see him carrying a girl. He guided him to his personal elevator at the building.

The Empire Tower was owned by the Lee Empire, one of the tallest residential skyscrapers in Shanghai, a 100- story building. It has an observation deck, ground floor Atrium with retail space, cafes, a garden, and restaurants. Most of the wealthiest families in the capital own one or two units of condominiums there, which was worth millions.

His condo was the whole 55th floor. It's like a mansion inside a building, modern but with a touch of traditional architecture designed.

When they reached his condo, he went in and carefully put Yillan on the couch inside while she's still asleep.

He then got a towel and a basin of water, he gently wiped her face, down to her neck, then suddenly stopped he felt something inside him slowly arousing.

Looking at Yillan’s porcelain skin and beautiful pinkish lips, he gulped, he was starting to get turned on. Her dress was slightly disorganized, the buttons of her upper shirt were open, and as she suddenly moaned...hmm… then she opened her eyes only to catch their sight of each other, they stared for a minute looking into each other's eyes.

Then Zai’s face slowly went closer to hers, then kissed her lips. At first, it was only a gentle kiss but Yillan started kissing him back and intertwined their tongue. She placed her hands on his neck and pulled him close. Stunned by the moment, Zai lost control and his hands started to explore from her back down to her waist then he slowly unbuttoned her shirt to touch her two hills...

A moan escaped from Yillan’s mouth that made Zai want more.

But suddenly Yillan stopped kissing back and her hand was released from his neck. Zai looked at her and she was back to sleep.

Staring at her innocent face Zai stopped and snapped his mind back to reality, he then kissed Yillan's forehead and put her on a blanket to cover her whole body.

He went to his room and went straight to the bathroom to cool himself off.

Seeing Yillan after 5 years, and accidentally running into her in a bar, her being drunk, unexpected weird actions and almost doing what's not to be done! It's like a whirlwind night. His shower took longer.

After changing clothes and feeling better..he went to check on her.

Thud! Yillan was on the floor.

She's really out of it, the consequences of being drunk and the whole mess.

“Thanks be to God”

He uttered. He was thankful that he accepted the client's invitation to that bar and fate arranged for them to bump at the right moment.

"It’s a blessing in disguise." 

He carried her again back to the couch. She stretched and turned around making her unbuttoned shirt visible and exposing the mountains beneath it, also showing her slender legs when the skirt pulled upwards.

The cold shower lost its effects and then again little Zai slowly awakened. This scene is torture for him.

"This won't do. This place is dangerous, I'll have to handle this before I lose my control".

He searched Yillan's small bag and found her cell phone. It doesn't have a password, so he opened it easily. He scanned the phone book for the contacts, scrolled it, and found the name, Auntie Tess. He knew her name, she was the Yoon mansion’s head servant.

Auntie Tess was outside the gate, worriedly waiting when she received a call from Yillan. To her surprise, it's a man's voice informing her Yillan is drunk and is on the way to bring her home. 

Earlier she was wondering why Yillan hadn't come back yet and worried that something might have happened to her. She was ready to call her but suddenly she received a call.

A black car pulled in front of the gate and a tall handsome man carrying Yillan went out.

"Good evening, Auntie Tess."

"Oh good evening"

She must be so drunk that she slept comfortably in the man's embrace without knowing what was happening.

"Let's put her inside"

They hurriedly went inside, Auntie Tess guided him to her room. She was observing him..he carefully put Yillan in her bed and pulled a blanket to cover her. It was a gentle gesture filled with care.

"Thank you for bringing her home and sorry for all the trouble young master"

Auntie Tess said while bowing her head to Zai

"it's okay, just take care of her Auntie Tess. I'll get going then, it's already late"

**One last look at Yillan and made his way out one of the servants accompanied him.

Auntie Tess was curious as she touched Yillan's face.

"Oh dear, what happened?"

But she was more curious about the young master. He already recognized Zai. He saw him a few times visiting the mansion as Kian's friend and teammate in swimming while in high school.

"What really happened and why that Zai was the one who brought her home.” 

She'll just ask Yilan tomorrow.

****************

In Auntie Tess’ room, her cell phone vibrated, she received a text message and opened it.

The Message:

Auntie Tess, I have a favor to ask. Please don't tell Yillan I was the one who brought her home, just tell her you're the one who picked her up at the bar. I will explain it later. Thank you.
