The Mess We Made

Chapter 26

Danny's POV

I woke up to a sore neck. "The hell happened last night." I mumbled. My throat felt dry. I saw a bottle of water on my side table so picked it up and gulped the entire bottle down.

"That feels better." I sighed and looked around to realize Ryujin was sleeping on the couch curled up into a ball hugging her knees.

This is when last night's events hit me. I looked at my injured hand. I clenched and unclenched my fist checking if my hand worked fine. It did and there wasn't that much pain.

I would have carried her to the bed but she has always been a light sleeper so she will probably wake up with that much movement

I knelt down in front of her and looked at her face. She had no make up on because I could see her dark circles clearly. She had lost a bit of her cute puffy cheeks so i guess she wasn't eating properly either.

If this affected you so much why did you do it?

I put a strand of head that kept going in her mouth behind her ear. When I did that she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at me confused as she touched my face as her thump ran over my lip. She then blinked a couple of times and quickly withdrew her hand. She must have thought it was a dream.

Whenever she wakes up she always blank out for a second not sure what's really what's not.

"Sorry I-" I stopped her from rambling by saying "It's fine I know." I got up and went and brushed my teeth. When i came out i saw her still in the same location but with her head in her hand this time.

I poured her a glass of water and gave her the advil bottle. "Take that and go freshen up. Second drawer had new toothbrush." She was about to complain but I stopped her by saying. "I'm just returning the favour for this" i said , showing her my injured hand. "And we anyways need to talk" She sighed but nodded and went to the bathroom.

I went to the kitchen and looked through the fridge. There were no ingredients for a hangover soup which she liked.

I pulled out salmon and eggs. I put the bread in the toaster and then started to prepare salmon with asparagus on one pan and scrambled eggs on another.

While I was at it I put a clean cup at the coffee maker and then pressed the button for Mocha Latte.

Once the food was done I put them on 2 plates. As I placed the cup of Mocha latte on the counter top and placed a smaller espresso cup and pressed triple shot espresso.

"You shouldn't drink that much coffee." I heard Ryujin say from behind me.

"I shouldn't be doing a lot of things." I said and picked up the cup and placed it on the counter top. Sitting on one of the barstools. I placed one of the plates across me. With the cup of latte next to it.

She sat down and looked at me. No one said anything as we looked at eachother and sipped on our cup of coffee.

"Ok I can't take this. Why didn't you tell me it was my fan who attacked you?" She asked, placing her cup down and looking straight in my eyes.

"Cause it doesn't matter who it was. I'll take my revenge the same way." I said as I placed my cup down. "Why did you push me and pretend to go on a date that Go Oppa of yours? It can't just be because it was your fan." I said. After all this time I had figured out at least that Ryujin could have figured out that it was her fan who attacked me.

She sighed and closed her eyes. She covered her eyes with her hand as she said "At that moment I thought it was the best option to keep you safe." She looked up at me, pinching the bridge of my nose frustrated. "I know it was a dumb thing but I couldn't see you get hurt again. What if it was worse than before?"
