Chapter 13 - In sickness and in health
Nadech's POV
~The owner of my heart
Wait-
Nadech studied the caption on the picture he was going to post, thinking deeply.
Isn't that too cheesy?
Sighing, he pressed the delete button and started on typing again.
~Only Mine Exclusively
Now that sounds too possessive!
Shaking his head, he erased the words and took a deep breath, feeling a head ache coming.
Damn it.
He thought this was supposed to be the easy part but somehow, he can not find the right words! Who knows something like this would be so damn hard.
~My Baby
Wait- He never called her that! Not that he called anyone that name but... it's better to delete and think again.
~My Sweetheart
But that would be a giveaway! Their friends think he always teased her by calling her sweetheart so that would be a no no too.
~My Wife
That is so creative. So he's really now taking her sarcastic advice of announcing it to the world eh?
~Let me love yo-
"What are you doing?" Taishi suddenly spoke over his shoulder his cellphone slip off his hands in surprise which Taishi thankfully caught, "What's this? Let me love y-"
Or Not.
"Hey!" Nadech grabbed his phone back and held it protectively, "Dont distract me, I'm thinking for a caption of my picture with my wife"
To his wonder, Taishi began chuckling, "Are you for real?"
"What?" he asked defensively.
"I thought you were doing something productive since you were looking so serious!" his secretary told him, shaking his head.
But he is! If she wont post a picture with him, then he'll be the one to do so.
"Just wait and see" he stated confidently, "After this post, everybody will know just who Yaya Urassaya belongs to"
Taishi surprise him again when he started laughing so hard, he started thumping his table.
What now?
"You still havent gotten over her post with that Alex?" Taishi burst in another rounds of laughter pointing at the picture he would be posting, "Well I'm sorry to tell you but your post wont work. Maybe you should look for another picture with I dunno- her face shown? That would be more convincing then. And what about the caption? That is just too chee-"
"One more word and you too will not have work" Nadech gritted his teeth at his secretary effectively stopping him from talking.
Taishi stood up and out of his door so fast he could only shake his head and tsked.
Honestly, what's wrong with the picture?
Oh well.
Nevermind.
Continuing on thinking of what to type, his door suddenly opens again and his wayward secretary's head pops.
"I forgot to tell you, just the other day that Alex was hovering over her at the lobby." Taishi is sure enjoying teasing him by the way the young man grins at him cheekily, "Choose another picture or better yet tag her name to get your point across to those setting their sights on your wife. I heard there were many interes-"
He never got to finish what he's saying for Nadech pick up something on his table aiming at the poor guy who immediately closed the door.
Of course he knew that!
Isnt that the very reason why he is doing this now?
But that wont happen.
Not under his watch.
He vowed on grabbing every opportunity and make her fall for him hard she wont have any choice but to stay by his side.
Forever.
Looking down at the thing he picked up to throw at his secretary who knows too many things for his own good. He absent mindedly examine the box of bear band aid gifted to him by his cousin, Dave, when a sudden bright idea entered his mind.
Hmmmm...
Grabbing his phone he began typing the words and before he could change his mind, he immediately clicked the post button and studied his post with a smirk plastered on his face.
cr: to the rightful owner
(A/N: If anyone knows who owns this, please tell me so I can give proper credit)
Nadech_Kugimiya:
Owned by my Better Half
Let me be your P'Bear for the rest of my life.
Yes that would be perfect. Subtle, yet effective. There's no need for her face to be shown when his caption can say it all...
Now if only people would just take the hint and for the love of god, help him.
~~~
"What are you thinking posting our picture? Damn it! I cant believe you..."
Nadech listen to his wife whispering furiously on his phone while walking back to his office, a smile plastered permanently on his face.
It seems like nothing can take away this happiness of his ever since he posted the picture that he's afraid people thought he'd lost it, judging by the way they kept looking at him.
Nothing really beats telling the world that he owns her. Okay, so maybe it was the other way around but still...
"Relax sweetheart" he chuckled, almost imagining her face pouting right now. She always had this cute look with her pouty lips but turned hot real quick whenever her cheeks turn red, eyes fiery in anger.
And that is the main reason why he always teased her. But that is a secret he'll never tell.
"Stop laughing!" she whined making him smile even wider.
"What are you worrying for anyway?" he reasoned, "Your face is hidden and it's not like I tagged your name or anything"
"Still-" he knew she'll never back down on this, its a good thing he had his excuse ready.
"I only posted that because I wanted people to know I am already taken"
"Oh" she said turning silent for a minute, he's afraid he said too much.
Is is still too early?
Damn.
Clearing his throat, he fake a chuckle and added, "I just dont want a repeat of last time remember the mad woman Akiko? You know your husband is too good lookin-"
"Stop or I'll end the call" she warned, her voice getting back to being pissed off that he quickly backtracked and change topic.
"Did you receive the package?"
Just earlier, he had gone outside to a nearby cafe and bought food for her and to her friends as well so there will be no need for her to share her food after he learned that today will be a hard one for them.
"Yes erm- Thanks by the way" she said rather shyly, "I- erm- W-we love it"
What about the benefactor? He wanted to ask.
"That's good" he responded smiling through the phone.
For a while, they stayed on the phone just hearing each others breath before she gasp seeming to wake up and asked him something he's not sure he'll allow.
Not without him.
"Kim and Margie asked me to go clubbing with them after work. It's okay right?" she asked then added, "Not that I'm asking permission but I'm merely telling you"
Nadech could only shrug and despite his inner turmoil, told her to take care, reminding himself not to be too possessive less he'll scare her away.
At least they're making progress now.
~~~
"Look who's here!" Mark strutted towards his direction, drunk off his mind.
"What happened?" Nadech mouthed at Mario and Pok tailing the guy who only shrug and shake their heads.
"Nadech! I want to tell you something" Mark said, putting his arms around his shoulder and leaning on him that he had to bear his friends full weight, "Congratulations! But be careful because this girls?-" he shake his head convincingly before continuing, "You gave them your all and still- they will question your love."
Seriously?
Turning left and right, he looked for the camera in case his friends were just pulling his leg, finding none.
What's with the drama?
All he wanted to do was to go inside the club peacefully and find his wife.
"Erm- Thanks?" he said hesitantly, scratching his head, "But I think we'll be fine-"
He didnt get to finish his statement when a cell phone began ringing just as Pok's panic voice rang through the air.
"What fight? Are the girls okay? Yaya did-" Pok calmly talked to someone on his phone, his voice rising every second.
As for Nadech, just hearing the word 'fight' being associated to his wife's name made him push Mark towards Mario, who almost fall down at the sudden weight.
Without thinking twice, he made a mad dash towards the entrance of the club leaving Mario protesting, Pok following quickly.
"Hey" James called out to him, supporting a drunk Kim, "The girls are over there" he said pointing at the private section of the club.
Nadech's eyebrows furrow at Kim thinking that if she's drunk, then there'll be a big posibility that his wife is also...
"Yaya!" he heaved a sigh of relief finally reaching his wife.
"Nadech?" she turned to him surprise, "What-"
Although he didn't know which one of them were more surprised after he spotted a bruise on her forehead.
What he saw was beyond him that he literally lost it, for a moment, he only see red and attacked the guy holding her wrist.
No one dare hurt his wife and get away unscathed. Damn it.
----------------------
Yaya's POV
"Stop!"
Yaya tried to pull Nadech away from her friend without any success. What is this guy's problem now?!
"Nadech! Stop it!" she tried again, pulling on his arms.
"Get off" But it seems like Nadech dont have any plans to stop continuing his assault on the poor innocent guy, "I'll kill this bastard"
For the love of God, she do not have any idea why this man attack the poor guy who only helped them out.
To think that without him, she don't know what would happen to her and her friends.
Everything actually started innocently with them girls going to club until the guys shows up and she dont know what happen but the next thing she knew, Kim and Mark suddenly broke in a fight then everything turned messy.
She and Margie had gone over to Kim's side while the guys gone over to Mark's side as both got drunk out of their minds.
Then Kim just had to dance over in the middle of the dance floor that guys were starting to flock over her, she and Margie stepped in only to be nearly harassed by the other guys.
Good thing James and her friend, Maru was there to save them.
"Damn it!" Her patience were seriously running thin now that she tried to ask for help from Margie and Pok who stood there rather frozen, watching Nadech go wild, "What is wrong with you?!"
"This guy hurt you right? You son of a b*t-" he reasoned as if it would explain everything.
Wait what?
Who hurt who?!
"What are you talking about?" she asked, now placing herself in between the two guys, "No one hurt me"
"Yes he was the one who helped us earlier you know" Margie who seemingly got over her shock added helpfully while amusely staring at Nadech.
"But what about that in your face?" he stopped short, gesturing at the bruise.
Dont tell her its all because of that?!
"This?" she pointed at the now purple spot on her forehead. "That is just me being an idiot. I got this on studio earlier"
"Oh" Nadech finally got off the guy looking unsurely at her, "Really?"
Yes. Really.
Now she do not have any face to show to her friend from way back high school.
Damn.
Rolling her eyes at him, she pulled him at least 3 meters away from her friend.
Better be safe than sorry.
Good thing her friend doesnt take things too seriously for he just shrugged, raising his eyebrows at her, his eyes dancing with laughter.
"W-what happened then?" Nadech looked over her with worry, raising his hands towards her cheek, she almost flinched feeling his cold fingers on her face.
"It was a long story..." she began, recounting the events earlier.
***Flashback to earlier today after their phone call...
"Ugh... I felt so full. That was some good food you brought Ya!" Margie sighed holding her now visible bump as they walk towards the studio, "My baby approves"
She and Kim where practicing for the sports event while Margie decided to watch them since she's kinda exempted right now because of her prrgnancy.
"Where did you get those food anyway?" Kim asked in wonder.
"Erm- my parents brought it to me when they visited" she said after clearing her throat. Damn. She really isnt good with this lying thing.
She was honestly surprised too when Taishi came over the set with her food delivery and puzzling words. He told her that his boss, Nadech, wanted to deliver the food personally but then people would know who's his owner then. Her confused look prompted the secretary to spill and whisper to her that Nadech posted their picture on his IG, thus her immediate browsing towards his IG and a phone call to her husband.
Good thing she was convinced by his words. And hey! He has a point, her face is hidden so no need to worry over baseless things.
But the downside though is that their fanclub were now in a turmoil. If she thought they were already in chaos before, it cant be compared to its current status now. They were, in other words- heartbroken.
People believed that Nadech was already taken by someone else and he was protecting her, thats why her face isnt shown although there were few who blindly believed that it is her in the picture. It is intriguing that their fans themselves were having a debate whether they should just accept that they were just Koo Jin and continue supporting them individually OR to still hold on to that belief that she is his 'owner' but they were just not ready.
Well... as long as they dont have any evidence, she wont be admitting anything.
"That surprise I was telling you about last week?" Kim reminded her yet again of the damned day she got the shock of her life, "So how was it?"
It is exactly what she said- surprising... Turning around and scanning the area to avoid the gaze of her friends, her brows furrow at the weird looks people where giving her.
What's even strange is that they would most often than not, look away whenever she caught them looking, some where smiling at her with what looked like encouragement while there where few who looked somewhat depressed.
Seriously? What did she do now?
Whats wrong with this people?
"I-It's good" she said choosing to ignore them while playing with the bear band aids on her hands that Nadech put on her earlier. Emphasize the S on band aids for he literally gone crazy with it that all her fingers where almost covered and he would have gone ahead with her whole hand if she did not stop him. It's cute though and he says its from Dave so she guess its okay...
"Ya!" Kim suddenly explained holding her hand and examining it, "Where did you get this band aids?"
And she thought Kim would be worried about her hand, turns out her band aids were more interesting. Rolling her eyes at her friend and completely missing the exchange of glances between her two friends, she answered Kim that it was a gift from a younger relative.
That's not a lie anyway.
"I told you so!" Margie suddenly exclaimed at Kim that she was confused when they began laughing.
"I dont know what I was thinking when for a second, I almost believe the rumor" Kim agreed chuckling. "That's just impossible!"
"Honestly! You guys are so weird today" Yaya exclaimed with a 'tsk', "What's wrong with everybody?"
"Dont mind us" Kim waved a hand off, intending to brush off her worry only succeeding in increasing her curiosity.
How can she possibly ignore them when they where literally in tears due to their laughter?
"We just heard a rumor speculating about you being the mystery girl in Nadech's post after seeing your hands covered with these little bears and not to mention your bear lunch box!" Margie added
"W-What?" she gasped in horror, halting her step.
She did not even think of that!
Damn.
"But that cant be true! Knowing you and Nadech?" Margie shake her head convincingly at Kim as the two continued on walking leaving her rooted on the spot.
"True!" Kim agreed, hooking her hands on the pregnant lady beside her, "Thats just next to impossible!"
Okay?
She began on breathing back normally after hearing their conversation.
Right.
That's good then.
For a second there she thought she was really caught! Taking a deep breath, she heaved a sigh of relief and began walking towards her friends.
They wont know anythin-
"Ya!"
She never got to finish that thought though, for the next second, she felt a ball hit her forehead before everything went black.
***End of flashback
"And that's why I have these"
"Oh" Nadech with his brows still in furrow, stare at her bruise as if it was his enemy, gently touching the lower unaffected part.
His touch and close proximity seemingly awaken something inside her that she tried so much to hinder, feeling her heart beat sped up she had to shake her head to clear those unwanted thoughts.
Damn.
She wont get distracted.
Even if he is looking at her this way, she almost forgot there where other people around if not for the clearing of throat she heard in the background.
Where were they again? Oh right.
"Apologize to this guy" she ordered Nadech hoping she sound convincing enough, Nadech though only scratch his head and smiled at her charmingly.
But she wont fall for that.
Damn it.
She thought she was immuned on him but what is this strange feeling then?
"Hmmmm" he hummed, pointedly ignoring her and instead continued on examining her face, placing her hair beneath her ears.
Good God.
Why does his hum sounds so sexy, she almost forgive him for not apologizing.
Almost for another clearing of throat from their friends made her step away from Nadech after realizing that they really shouldnt be doing this in front of other people.
Wait.
They shouldn't do this either when they're alone because in case she had forgotten, they were just friends with benefits- accidentally married.
Maybe things where happening so fast even she, herself, felt confused?
Because she cant be falling in love with this guy in front of her!
Even if he has gorgeous dimpled smile, beautiful eyes with long lashes and his eight pack abs.
Not to mention the way he always took care of her even if he's not really obliged to. She doesn't always show it but she really appreciates even the little things.
And yes. She acknowledge that she's one lucky lady for having him as her husband even if that's just by accident and if under different circumstances, she would not choose anyone else to be 'trapped' with in this marriage.
"Okay. Fine. I apologize. Happy?"
That is, if he just shut his mouth.
Damn Nadech and his big mouth.
Without warning, she pinched his arm hard he immediately began protesting with a loud, "Aw!"
"Stop acting like a kid and apologize properly" she whispered furiously on his ear before letting go.
"I'm sorry" Nadech began rather exaggerately, turning to glance at her quickly, "Please forgive my stupidity"
To everyone's surprise, Maru chuckled at them, "It's okay" he said doing an okay sign before going over her to mess her hair, winking at her.
"Can I just get a hug?" he added suddenly with a mischievous twinkle on his eye that she got a hint of what he's trying to do.
"I dont think that would be nece-" Nadech began but never got to finish for Maru had already enveloped her in a big hug.
Well.
She just hope that Maru wont get another hit after deliberately provoking her husband who had a tendency to be possessive.
"I'm glad you've finally found someone thats going to take care of you like how you deserve" Maru told her like a big brother that he has always been to her,
"Nadech and I we're just erm- friends" she tried to deny, but even to her, it doesn't sound so convincing.
"Dont worry" Maru chuckled not believing a single word she said, "I can keep a secret"
Damn. The cat is out of the bag now.
"Okay thats enough"
Nadech pulled Maru off her and placed her behind his back protectively, she only roll her eyes at him.
Its not like she's going to run off with the guy now when she already had a husband.
Hmmm... That has a nice ring on it.
Yaya surpressed the urge to smile on her thoughts, less others would think she'd gone crazy or a lost case.
Lately though, she noticed that she doesnt cringe anymore whenever she thought of him as her husband.
She just doesnt know if it's a good or bad sign.
"Thank you again for helping my wife earlier" Pok stepped forward to shake hands with Maru in gratitude that she elbowed Nadech and point at Pok's good manners.
Hoping he'd take the hint but it was just hopeless.
Nadech only rolled his eyes at her that she began on pinching his sides as he in turn tried to catch her hands.
"Guys?" Pok asked them unsurely, his eyes looking back and forth before settling at their hands linked together, "We're gonna go ahead"
"Where's Maru?" she asked, immediately pulling her hands away from Nadech's after noticing their stare of amusement.
"He's already gone ahead when you two cant be bothered earlier" Margie chimed in, giving her a goodbye hug, her smile reminded her of a cheshire cat she saw in the movies, "You young lady has a lot to explain"
Margie though must have noticed her worry and uneasiness if her sudden paleness gives any indication. There where no words to explain but she knew her friend gets it for it was a problem everyone in the industry experience when it involves relationship.
Patting her cheeks, she hold her hand saying "Its okay I understand, I wont tell anyone"
"Take care of ya okay?" Margie tapped Nadech's arm and Pok nod at her before the two leaves them alone.
Great.
Few more names to add in the growing list of their secret keepers.
Yaya sighed wanting to smack her head at her carelesness as she put on her seat belt after they finally reached his car.
"What's wrong?" Nadech asked her to which she replied with shaking her head, not in the mood to talk right now. With a shrug, Nadech started the engine and they made their way home in silence.
"Tell me" he said after they reached his estate, hovering over to her side just so he can stare at her face, examining her bruised forehead before gently blowing on it causing her to flich, "Does it still hurt?"
Honestly, she could care less about her bruise now, feeling goosebumps start on her arms and a slight shiver that she turned anywhere but him, avoiding his sinful eyes.
She thinks she need to have a serious talk with her traitor heart now.
"Not really" she started shaking her head, "I was just thinking... there were people now who know about our secret."
"I'm sorry" Nadech apologize sincerely she turned to him in surprise, "I just couldnt help it. You know I never like seeing you hurt."
"Why are you doing this?" she asked in a whisper, almost afraid of hearing his answer but she really like to know.
Just if- by any chance- there could be a way that he's feeling the same as hers.
Nadech stared at her for quite some time, she's afraid he's bever going to answer when he finally smiled.
Caressing her face and armed with the words that ought to give her the push her heart was seriously fighting off and trying to avoid, "If it still isnt obvious... I like you" and then he added as if in afterthought, "And I mean it as a lot"
Oh.
Like?
Still...
Yaya couldn't surpress the smile that formed on her lips at his words.
At least they where going in the same direction here.
"Me too" she finally confessed shyly looking anywhere but him.
"Thank God" Nadech suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and without warning, lifted her towards him before proceeding on her showering her with kisses.
"Woah slow down" she said placing hand on his chest but it didnt stop him from now kissing her neck, "Hey!"
"W-what?" Nadech asked, confusion written all over his face.
"We can't" she insisted, although half heartedly now. Distracted by the pleasurable sensation he was giving her as he suck on a particularly sensitive spot he had discovered she responded the most to.
"Seriously?" he asked, his hands already exploring her body, "I think were already way past the stage to be modest especially after our confession just earlier, remember?"
If it's really just up to her, she wont even think twice but her monthly visitor already knocked earlier.
And as much as she wanted to, judging by the way her body responded to him, she dont have any choice on this matter.
"As much as I'd like to" she began, tilting her head to the other side to give him more access while entangling her fingers on his hair, "But we really can't"
"Why?" he asked, resurfacing from her neck, almost whining that she couldnt help but chuckle and press a quick kiss on his lips before whispering the reason on his ear.
"Oh Damn" Nadech for a second looked like a lost puppy, sighing sadly before he broke back in a smile, "Let me just have my kisses then"
That she can do and with a smile on her face, she pressed her lips on his in a searing kiss.

A/N: So there you have it.
Thank You for all the comments. Really appreciate it.
P.S. I got the idea for the motorbike scene when
@bbie_NY
suggested about the sports car... I thought I already did that in silverlining so for a change, why not the motorbike?
The band aid, in case anyone is wondering
