Rei's Note:

Yeah I know normally write the note at the end but I have something to say before we begin the chapter. I am thinking of continuing this fanfic in POV format. I will alternate between Leeteuk's POV and Heechul's POV. The reason for the change is, I want to show the emotions they feel and  their thoughts .

Leeteuk's POV

I am glad that I got the part time job, Although Heechul provided me a place to live for a year, I need to take care of my other necessities, Food and Clothing. And of course I have to save some money so that I can rent a room after a year of contract is done.

I go home early today. I have to start working from tomorrow so I am thinking of getting good rest and then study because I need to keep up with the scholarship.

I sit on the sofa in living room when my phone rings, I take a look at the caller ID and smile, I pick up the call when the voice on the other side says, "Hello. Jeong su. I forgot to say this before but better apply ice and medicine where you got hurt." 

I laugh and tell him, "Yes Yunho. Did you just call me to tell me that?"

"Yeah. I thought I should just remind you. " I can hear Yunho laugh on the other end which makes me smile too.

"Thanks for the reminder, I seriously forgot about it. I will apply ice and medicine." I say. Because I honestly did forgot about the wound. I have been through worse so a single kick doesn't hurt me that much.

"Okay you're welcome." He says with a laugh which once again makes me laugh. Since I got away from my father, every single thing makes me laugh or smile. I am happy because today to have found a new friend. 

I was going to say something to Yunho when I heard a slight noise, I turn to the direction of the noise and see Heechul standing in the hallway. Looking at me with some unknown emotion on his face.

I tell Yunho that we'll talk later and that I have some stuff to do, he reminds me again to apply medicine and then I promise him I will and we hang up the call.

Heechul sits in front of him and the awkward silence is killing me, I avoid his eyes and look down on my lap. I wait for him to say something because he wouldn't be sitting right in front of me if he didn't have anything to say to me.

"Was that Eunhyuk?" He asks in a low voice as if he just woke up. 

"No" I say shaking my head lightly and still not looking up at him.

"Then?" He asks and this time I do look up at him, "A friend I made today." I don't know why he is asking this, but still I answer him because we do need to communicate if we are going to live together for a year.

He stares at me, I can see some hesitation on his face, as if deciding whether to say something or not, I wait for him to speak, giving him all the time he needs. 

"Did you tell him about your condition? Sorry I overheard your conversation and that he told you to apply medicine so I just thought- " He says in a worried tone.

"No I-I didn't. It's just today I got ganged up by two guys in an alley and one of them kicked me. Yunho came and saved me. That's how we became friends." I say as I cut him off. Truthfully I didn't want to tell him what happened today. I already owe him so much I don't need to bother him with little things.

However as soon as I finish my sentence, Heechul gets up and walks towards me and looks at me, he holds my hand and lift it up, checking for injuries, I know I shouldn't feel this way but when he holds me(my hand), my heart flutters but soon I wince because my side hurts.

An apologetic look flashes Heechul's face and he gets up, "I am sorry. I- Did you go to Hospital?"

"No. I only got kicked once. I will apply some ice and medicine and it will heal soon." I assure him because he looks genuinely concerned and I feel guilty. I feel like I am bothering him a lot.

He hesitates for a split second and then says, "Let me help you apply the medicine." 

"No it's fine. I can do it by myself." I say hurriedly. I really don't wanna bother him.

"You don't have a choice. I will help you." He says as he goes into the kitchen. 

I feel panicked, I don't want him to see my injured body. I don't want him to apply medicine for me, I don't want the feelings that I have suppressed to surface back again. 

I see him come back with a bowl of ice in one hand and a medicine kit in another hand. 

I tell him again hoping that this time it works, " Heechul It's really fine. I can do that much by myself."

"I know you can. But I don't want you to. " Heechul says as he sits beside me on the sofa. He wraps the ice in a clean cloth and turns towards me. And I just stare at him. Everything goes silent and I can hear the seconds tick by on the clock in the living room.

"Just remove your shirt Jeong su." He says in a soft voice and my knees go week at the use of my name.

Before this I hated my name, because it was given by the people I hate the most, but now hearing him say my name in such a soft yet commanding voice,  I can't help but want to hear it more. Especially from his mouth.

It takes me a few seconds to come back to myself and realize what he just asked, I look away from him and at my lap. But then he places his hand on knees and goosebumps run all over my leg. "Please", he says and suddenly I have no strength to avoid him, I slowly remove my shirt and look at him.
