Chapter 13

Siyeon

"Hey, we should change your bandages." I say to Bora as I walk out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

"Sure." she says.

I sit down on the chair next to her bed while she tries to take of her shirt but she's struggling.

"Here, let me help." I say as I grab the hem of her shirt and pull it over her head.

"There you go." I say as I lay the shirt down on the bed.
"Thanks." she says and I can see a small blush on her cheeks but I ignore it and focus on changing the bandages.

"The wounds look alright. They're not infected or anything." I say once I took of the bandages.
"Good." is all she says.

I then put a new bandage on before I get up and throw the old one away.

When I turn to Bora again I see her struggling once again only this time it is to put her shirt on. I chuckle at the sight before I make my way over to her to help her.

"Let me." I say as I grab the shirt and put it back on her.

"Thanks." she says with a chuckle, her cheeks turning a bit rosy.

"Now, it is kinda late. We should get some sleep." I say.

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired." she says with a cute yawn.

We then both get ready for bed and I turn off all the lights except for one lamp.

"Good night, Bora." I say to her.
"Good night, Siyeon." she replies.

I watch as she falls asleep and when I hear little snores coming from her I get up and grab my jacket before I leave the motel room.

I make my way through the hallway, down the stairs, through the lobby and eventually onto the streets.

Where am I going? I'm gonna get Bora and I a place to stay. Why can't we stay at the motel? Because I ran out of money. So now I am gonna get us a place where we can stay for free, or, well, it isn't really free, it's just not paid for with money. The guy that owns the place is an old acquaintance of mine. I stayed at his place a few times before when I was living in Busan for a while and I had no money so I know how it works with him and although it sucks, a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do to have a roof over her head and a warm meal every night.

After about 20 minutes of walkig I arrive at the place. It's a hotel, and a pretty luxurious one too. I enter the building and make my way to the reception.

"Good evening miss. How can I help you?" the woman behind the desk asks me with a friendly smile.
"Can I speak to Im Jaebum? Tell him it's Lee Siyeon." I say to the woman.
"Of course." she says as she picks up the phone and dials what I expect to be his number.

"Good evening sir. There is a girl at my desk who wishes to speak with you. She said her name is Lee Siyeon." the woman says.

"Alright, I will sir." she says before she hangs up the phone.

"Mr. Im said he'll meet you in his room. I will bring you there." she says.
"No need. I know the way." I say, stopping her.
"Okay then." she says as she sits back down.

"Enjoy your stay." she says, unsure of what else to say.
"I won't, but thanks." I say before I leave the desk and make my way to the elevator. I get inside and press the button for the top floor.

Once there I get out of the elevator and knock on the only door on this floor.

"Well, well, well, Lee Siyeon. Welcome back. I assume you need a place to stay again that doesn't require payment in the form of money?" he says with a smug grin on his face.
"Yes." I say.
"Well, come in." he says and at that he lets me in.

"Please, take a seat." he says pointing at the large black leather couch that's stood in his living room and I sit down on it while he seats himself in a black leather chair across from it.

"So, tell me. How exactly can I help you this time?" he asks.
"Me and my friend need a place to stay." I say.
"You and your friend huh? Since when does Lee Siyeon have a partner in crime?" he asks.
"Doesn't matter, I just do. Now can we stay here or what?" I ask.
"Yeah, however, it is gonna cost you more seen that you are with two." he says.
"Just get to the point." I ask.
"Is this friend of yours a he or a she?" he asks.
"A girl." I say.
"Well, in that case, she can work in the cleaning crew. And you, you know what to do." he says with an evil smirk I wish to punch of his face.
"I know. And I would gladly let my friend work in your cleaning crew but I can't." I say.
"And why is that?" he asks.
"She is kinda wanted by the police." I say.
"Woah woah woah, you're conspiring with a criminal?" he asks.
"It's a long story. And it's not what you think either." I say.
"May I ask who this girl is?" he asks.
"Kim Bora." I say.
"Kim Bora? The murder suspect?" he asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"It's risky for me to take her in Siyeon. I mean, if the police finds her here I'll get in trouble for hiding a murder suspect." he says.
"Please let us stay. We have nowhere else to go." I beg.
"I guess, maybe, I can let you stay here. But it's gonna pricey." he says.
"What do you want Jaebum?" I ask with a sigh.
"Well, first of all, since she is wanted by the police and no one can see her or recognise her I think it is safest if you two stay in my room. I have an extra room you two can stay in. That way I can make sure you are safe you know. And if you could perform during dinner time everyday and keep me company every now and then, then that would be great.
And when it comes to her, she can just keep my room clean, do the laundry and stuff, cook us meals." he says and I heave a sigh at his offer.
"Take it or leave it." he says.

"Fine, deal."
