The next morning the assistant got up really early. He looked at his wrist watch at the beside table, before he got up and walked downstairs into the kitchen.
"Ouu? Hyung? Good morning, I didn't expected you to be awake already..." he said. "I didn't slept well so I gave up trying." He answered. "You already prepare breakfast I see... do you need help?"
The male looked up at him. "That would be nice... thanks, Doyoung..." he said. "Are you okay, hyung?" "I didn't slept well, I just told you..." "there is something else, hyung. I see that..."
The leader sighed. "I talked to Kun yesterday... Henderys leg is broken. The bullet he caught went through his bone. He won't be able to go to missions for a while... he lost much blood... and we can be lucky that he doesn't get a blood poisoning because of the fragments of the bullet Kun said..."
"Hyung, he can do that! He will recover fast. Hendery is tough." "I know, I am still worried.... he didn't deserve this... this was not suppose to happen..." "hyung, you can't always see what will happen... this is not your fault."
"Exactly, it is hers!" "Hyung, it is not her fault either. The one to blame is Wonchan! She is an innocent! She doesn't know about this world, Wonchan just pulled her in it to take revenge on you and Jaehyun..." the leader looked at him.
"How should she-" "What if she is their spy? Huhh? What if he is right? We know nothing about her..." "If you wanna know something about her, just ask Sungchan! I am sure he would give you the answers you ask for."
"What if he lies to me again to protect her? Or he doesn't know her at all? I thought I know Jaehyun too. And he lied to me twice about his family!" "Okay, I admit I was hurt too that he didn't told us and I understand that you have trust issues to him right now... but they both love you and look up to you! They feel miserable that they did that and I doubt that Sungchan would lie to you about that. You just have to be open to that..."
The leader scoffed. "What if she hid from them that she is a spy? Like they hid her from us? Or her from this world? We can't be sure if she really didn't know about it, not until we make her say the truth..." "by what? Will you torture her?" "Yeah, if I have too?" "Hyung, she is an innocent! Since when do we harm innocents?"
"We are not sure if she is one!" "Hyung, you can't be serious! You are blinded by your hate and you are aggrieved, that you want her to be guilty no matter what! You don't even think that she could possibly be dragged in that mess! I understand your worry about Hendery, but blaming her doesn't change the fact that she didn't asked to get kidnapped! She didn't even asked you to save her! You did that for Jaehyun and Sungchan and to face Wonchan! Tell me, why would he mistreat her like that if she would work for him? She could have died too the way she was injured. You clearly saw the fear in her eyes, she still has this look! She doesn't act!" He looked at his leader sternly.
"I go and check on her now... you can think about that..." he grabbed some bread, cream cheese, some meat, a cup of tea and a banana, then went upstairs to his room. He unlocked the door, seeing the girl sitting awake at the window, looking up in the sky.
"Ou, you are awake already too?" He asked. She turned around to him a bit surprised. "Sorry, did I scared you?" He chuckled. "Could you sleep?" She nodded. "That is great!" He smiled, then he looked at the tray. "Ou, you didn't ate? Were you afraid it is poisoned?" He asked, placing the tray he had in his hand right next to the other.
The girl shook her head. "I-I mean... y-yes... b-but... I-I was not hungry." She stuttered unsure. The male chuckled again. "I can understand... but you should eat something. You really need the energy. But at least you drank something." He looked at her again.
"Are you in pain again?" He asked, seeing she was holding her side again when she moved. She bit her lip. "Listen, I can understand you are scared but I really want to help you. But I only can if you let me and talk to me."
She nodded hesitating. "Would you let me see?" She blinked hesitating, before she slowly and carefully pulled up her shirt. The male carefully took away the bandange, looking at the wound.
"Yeah, it was a deep cut.. It could take a while until it is healed completly and it will hurt for a while. You should not move hectically but slow and not much. I go and get something to clean it again, before it gets infected." The girl looked towards the door, feeling a presence there.
The male turned around too, looking at the door. "I am sorry, I wanted to talk to hyung and then I saw the door open..." he said. "Ahh, Jeno! You can do me a favor and bring me some bandages, a scissors and the alcohol for cleaning wounds out of the first-aid room." He said. The boy nodded, turning around to do what he was told.
"Don't be afraid, he is a nice person!" The girl nodded. "I-I know..." "Right, you go to school with him!" He chuckled. "I almost forgot... Are you always shy around people or are you just scared of me?" He tried to start a conversation with her.
"Both..." she whispered. "Mhhmm.. I see..." he looked at her. "Ouu? Do you have freckles or do you have an allergic reaction to the pain killers?" He asked, suddenly worried.
"A-Ani... I usually have freckles..." she answered, smiling lightly. Slowly she felt comfortable around the male, yet she was unsure if she could trust him.
She looked up to the door again, her smile dropped and she looked away unsure again. Again the male checked it. "Oh! Hyung!" The young boy stumbled next to the male in the door frame.
"You took long for just checking on her..." the male said with a cold voice. "She was in pain. I treat her wound." He answered. The young boy next to the male looked between them confused.
"Uhmm... hyung.. I got the things you asked for..." he said. "Great. Place them here next to me on the table." The boy entered the room and placed the things on the table.
"Hyung... uhmm... I wanted to talk to you.." he said, turning around when he placed them on the table, facing his leader. "Fine... come with me..." he said, pushing himself away from the door frame to enter his office. The young boy followed.
"I know he seems cold, but he is actually a really nice and polite human being. He is just careful to protect his family..." Doyoung said, starting to clean the girls wound. "He will get used to you soon, you will see!" He said, smiling.
