Lee Heeseung || SECRETS

CHAPTER THIRTEEN : 'a secret unfolds'

NO ONE POV :

Heeseung catches up with Taewoo and almost bumps into his back as Taewoo is just standing there.

"What is it? Is she there?"

Taewoo doesn't respond but slowly moves towards a body curled up on the snowy floor.

Heeseung peaks around Taewoo and sees Chae-Young unconscious.

Heeseung pushes Taewoo out of the way and runs towards her.

"Call an ambulance"

"What?" Taewoo gets up from the floor.

"I said call a fu-"

"Okay okay!"

—————————————

HEESEUNG POV :

I stay by Chae-Young's side while Taewoo goes to get us some food. The doctors are going to attend to her soon. I hold her close making sure she warms up.

Did she lock herself on the rooftop?

Or did someone?

Who would do such a thing.

The doors ahead open and I look up to see a familiar face.

"Mrs Jang?"

The doctor looks at me and a glowing smile infects her face. "Hello my love! Have you been taking those pills I've subscribed for you??"

I just nod but look down at Chae-Young.

"Is that.. Chae-Young?"

"Yeah uh, how d'you know?"

Mrs Jang laughs and pats me on the shoulder.

"Give this to 'C' will you!" Mrs Jang mimics what she calls my voice.

My eyes widen with realisation.

"That's right, she's the girl you would always send those letters too!"

NO ONE POV :

Heeseung stares as they wheel Chae-Young away. Taewoo comes skipping in with a bag full of goods. He sits next to Heeseung.

"I'm guessing we can't visit her yet?"

Heeseung shakes his head, still thinking about what Mrs Jang had just said.

"I brought sushi, her favourite. How long until we can see her?"

"They didn't say."

Taewoo nods looking around the hospital as the situation was getting awkward.

"Do you have Chae-Young's bag?"

Heeseung nods confused why he asked. Taewoo snatches it off of him and searches for something. Heeseung doesn't say anything as he pulls her phone out and unlocks it.

"Yah, you can't just go though her phone." Heeseung snaps stealing the phone back.

Taewoo rolls his eyes snatching it back going through Chae-Young's contacts.

"Ha, I'm still saved as Taewoo with a heart"

Heeseung looks over his shoulder and scoffs.

"Why."

"We dated a while back, she probably hasn't changed it.. or she still likes me!" Taewoo smirks nudging Heeseung with his elbow.

"Why would she like someone like you" Heeseung says under his breath.

"Some dude keeps texting her."

Heeseung feels bad for snooping but wants to see who it is. Taewoo clicks on the texts.

"Who the hell is Riki" Taewoo sighs, blocking the number.

"Don't block him! He could be someone important, like her cousin or sibling I don't know"

"She doesn't have any siblings, I should know. I'm the one who dated her." Taewoo scoffs.

Heeseung sighs and shakes his head.

—————————————

After waiting for two hours, Mrs Jang finally approached them. Heeseung was toying with his fingers when she clears her throat.

"Chae-Young is awake. You may visit her."

Heeseung jumps up from his seat, causing Taewoo to fall over as he was fast asleep, drooling, on Heeseung's shoulder.

Surprisingly Taewoo doesn't wake up, Heeseung was about to wake him but instead just lasted him back on the seats. Heeseung takes Chae-Young's bag in case she needed it.

Heeseung follows Mrs Jang into a small square room. Once Chae-Young spotted him she smiles and waves at him.

Mrs Jang leaves them be closing the door behind them.

Heeseung jogs towards Chae-Young and immediately pulls her into a tight, warm hug causing Chae-Young to be surprised by the sudden action. Chae-Young pats his head filling Heeseung's stomachs with butterflies. Heeseung felt like he wanted to hold her in his embrace forever. His first love turned out to be closer than he had expected.

"Why are you so touchy all of a sudden?!"

Heeseung realises his action and pulls away bowing. Chae-Young laughs, but suddenly her glowing smile fades and she looks worried all of a sudden.

"Riki.. have you got my phone?!"

Heeseung passes her the bag and watches as she rushes through her phone.

"Is everything alright?"

Chae-Young looks up at him. "I can't find his contact, Heeseung.."

Heeseung gulps, he can't help but feel a bit jealous. "Who's contact?"

"My brothers! Riki, he must be so worried!"

Heeseung's jealous face turned to an annoyed face, he clenched his fists. "I swear I'm going to kill that guy.."

"Check maybe in your blocked contacts?"

"Why would my brother be in my blocked cont-"

"You never know...!"

Chae-Young squints her eyes, she then finds his contact in blocked.

"Did you two do something on my phone?"

"No! Why would we! I'm sure it was just an accident!"

Chae-Young unblocks the contact and calls him immediately. Heeseung doesn't realise but he was staring, and admiring her visual.
