The Princess and The Ghost [COMPLETED]

Chapter 20

                Sohyun opened her eyes slowly. Mrs. Yoon was in front of her. "Omma" Sohyun called weakly. "My dear" Mrs. Yoon hugged her who was still in the hospital bed. Sohyun's body was wounded. She saw Doojoon standing beside her bed, arms crossed up to his chest. "Do we have to get use to you being unconscious in the hospital?"

"Doojoon oppa" she called with a smile. "We're grateful that you're okay now" he smiled.

Sohyun looked around the room. Mrs. Yoon who was peeling the fruits glanced at her. "You looking for something, dear?"

"No" she clearly lied.

Doojoon came into the room. "Omma, I need to take Sohyun to meet doctor" "Alright" Mrs. Yoon put the fruits aside. "Let's all go"

Doojoon helped Sohyun to sit on the wheelchair. The family went to the lower floor. They entered the doctor's office. The doctor there greeted them. He began explained something to the family. Mrs. Yoon burst into tears and Doojoon helped to calm her down. Sohyun was utterly shocked. They looked to Sohyun. She held her tears from falling and mustered a smile.

The family was once again at Sohyun's room. Sohyun got into her bed and pulled the cover to cover herself. Doojoon and Mrs. Yoon turned to each other then to Sohyun. Sohyun sobbed silently alone.

"Yah, Junhong!" Sohyun screamed as her finger busy pressing the buttons on the joystick in her grip. Junhong beside her stuck out his tongue. He brutally pressed the buttons on his joystick. "I'm not going to let you win this time!"

The two had their eyes glued to the TV screen of the hospital room as they were playing a car racing game. Junhong's car sped off and left Sohyun's car behind the finishing line. "Ohh yeah!!" Junhong punched the air. "Alright" she crossed her arms to her chest. "I'll win the next we play"

"Round two?" "Nah later. I want to rest for a while" she laid on her bed. She threw her view out the window. Junhong followed her gaze. "What are you looking at?"

"The sky" "Why? Is there something there?" "Nothing. Just someone I like fits the sky so well" she smiled as she recalled the image of Daehyun sitting on the wall of her house.

Junhong sank into the chair he was seating. "How's your operation going?"

Sohyun pushed the collar of her hospital shirt aside a tad to reveal her shoulder completely bandaged. She stared at it for a few second before fixed her shirt again. "Everything is okay. At least I can still do my homework and other daily activity"

"But archery?"

She chuckled at his question. "Of course not. You want my arm to fall off, Junhong?"

"But are you okay if you can't pull your bow again?" "At first I'm not okay with it. Well, I convince myself that I have plenty other thing to try" she smiled. "Someone even tell me the same thing"

"'Other thing to try'? Like what?" "This" she lifted the joystick with a sheepish smile. Junghong chuckled. "Anyway, I had been listening to you talking about this 'someone' lately. Who is it?"

"Nae?" she mustered a smile as she was caught. "No one"

"Why do I feel like you are talking about Daehyun hyung?" "Him?" she let out an awkward laugh.

"Is it true that you can't see him anymore?" "Yea" "So his soul is in his body again?" "I guess" "That means he'll wake up soon right?" "I hope so" "Well, the doctor told us that the other day" "You must be really happy to hear it" "Of course. Hyung is recovering super fast!"

Junhong noticed her change in voice tone. "Sunbae, are you sad that you can't see him anymore?"

Sohyun who was laying turned to face him. "Of course I am. It feels like totally empty. You know like incomplete" she sighed but with a smile. "I bet once he gets up, I can't see him often since all of you are so busy with your schedule and I'll be busy at school"

"Looks like you fall for him?" he gave her a sneaky smile. "Fall for him?" she chuckled but it receded. "Maybe. I don't know. I mean I don't know if I love him as a friend or more than that. Beside all of you are idols and you have your fans"

"I suggest you to love him more than a friend" "What?" she turned to him in disbelieve. "Did the immature Choi Junhong just tells me that?"

"Nah, sunbae. I really mean it. And us being an idol, you can't use that excuse. It's your feelings. Don't deny or control your feeling to fall for someone"

Sohyun was silent for a few moments, taking everything Junhong had said.

"Well" she smiled. "I just need your fandom approval now, right?"

"Tsk" he smirked. "You forgot the other hyungs"

The door was opened.

"Hey, you guys" Yongguk entered the room. Himchan followed behind with Doojoon.

"Oppa" Sohyun smiled. She accidentally met eyes with Yongguk. Yongguk's eyes widened. She giggled. "Sorry. I'm calling Doojoon oppa"

Himchan, Junhong and Doojoon laughed at Yongguk's already red face.

"Yah, Junhong" Doojoon put the food in his grip down. "You're luring my sister to video games again?"

"Nae, hyung" Junhong smiled, revealing his teeth. "I'm going to make sunbae a game maniac"

"You're just trying to find pal for you to play games right?" Himchan chuckled. He helped put out the food. "Come let's eat first"

"What's that?" Sohyun looked up to Doojoon who walked up to her. "Some food I'm craving" Doojoon smiled. "Aw, I'm the one sick here but you get to enjoy yourself" she pouted. "And even bully my friends"

"Of course not. I bump into them on my way here" he patted her right shoulder a few times. "Does it still hurt?"

"Well not as bad as yesterday. The pain is unbearable after the operation yesterday"

"When will you discharge?" Himchan asked. "Maybe tomorrow" she answered.

Yongguk gave her a plate with donuts Doojoon had bought. "Thanks" Sohyun enjoyed it.

"Hyung, actually we're here to ask you about that guy" Yongguk turned to Doojoon. Doojoon put the coffee he was drinking down. "Ah, that man. I mean to tell you earlier but I had been busy with reporters asking about Sohyun so yea, I can't be here often"

"Anyway" Doojoon began. "That man name is Heejun. He's one of my employee. But he suddenly quit about a year ago. No one knows about his whereabouts since then. Heejun was entrusted with the company assets and interests. One of my employee reported some of company assets mysteriously missing. So I decided to call him to the company. He did come to the company but we found out he was the one who embezzle the company assets for the sake of this one particular company. He was their puppet all this time but we have no idea of it. So he ran to save himself. He was driving at that time"

"And at the main road, he hit Daehyun who was at that time trying to save a cat crossing the road" Sohyun continued.

"But since he was panic, he just left Daehyun there" this time Himchan continued. All of them exchanged looks.

"So that's how Daehyun and you are related" Yongguk glanced to Sohyun. "Yea" she smiled melancholically. "He had been telling me that he felt something every time he saw the company logo"

Junhong noticed Sohyun's sadness.

"Sunbae" he called. "Later before you discharge and go home, come see Daehyun hyung for a while"

Sohyun nodded.
