PRECIOUS - PARK SEONGHWA

32

Inside a silent room, Y/n laid down on the soft mattress, her breathing was deep as her heart rate was stable.

Few wires were connected to her skin on her arm. Jongho took care of it and came often to check if everything was going alright. Everyone had a thing to do after all what happened.

Jongho walked calmly inside the room, trying his best to not make much noise even though she was in a deep sleep and couldn't hear anything. He checked the wires and changed a few bandages to fresh ones. Lastly, checking her heart rate.

So far, everything was going alright. He grabbed a book and sat on the nearest couch. Minutes later, Y/n started moving slowly and stirring making him notice her hand and fingers moving.

He put his book away and stood up from his place, walking towards her. He checked her eyes and found them closed but then they slowly fluttered open. She blinked few times as her blurred vision started getting clearer.

"Hey, glad you're awake now" Jongho said in a calm tone.

Y/n looked at him and he noticed how she started panicking but he immediately comforted her and calmed her down.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here to look after you since you were badly injured. Here drink some water" He explained then helped her sit up properly on the bed. He handed her a glass of water and she gulped it down soothing her dry throat.

Just then, a soft knock was heard on the door before someone came in while holding a plate full of delicious and healthy food.

"Hi, I'm Yunho. Here, you haven't eaten since 3 days. I hope you like it. Tell me if you need anything else" He smiled while making his way to her bed and she quietly thanked him and started eating. He looked harmless in her opinion so she trusted them for the meantime.

She slowly started regaining her focus and scanned her surroundings. She noticed a camera on the roof corner which was flashing small red light. So that's how he knew I woke up. She thought.

She ate her food peacefully, not caring about the guys who were watching her in silence. She was starving anyway. Yunho left her room and just when he was about to close the door Seonghwa entered followed by Hongjoong.

Y/n suddenly stopped chewing the last bit of fruits and gulped it while her eyes moved from between the two in question. She waited patiently for them to speak up as she placed her plate away on her bedside table.

"Seonghwa, I think we came on the wrong time. We should let her rest she just wok-" Hongjoong started but the other didn't give him the chance to finish.

"There's no time to waste plus I need her to answer my questions truthfully" He said, gritting his teeth while keeping his eyes on hers.

She just silently looked back at him in his eyes with a totally emotionless face but little did they know how her heart beats were fast and the nervousness ate her from the inside.

"But-"

"No Hongjoong!!" Seonghwa snapped at him which surprised him. He rarely saw this furious side of Seonghwa before. He knew when he feels like this but never shows it in this way.

"Alright!" Hongjoong raised his arms up, giving up.

"So you work for him now huh" Seonghwa crossed his arms by his chest and glared at Y/n.

"I did mention that I worked in his bar before" She answered and he seemed like he didn't like it.

"So you have a tongue now and you dare to speak to me like that" He slowly started getting mad.

"Well... you asked and I only answered you truthfully..." She shrugged her shoulders.

Seonghwa tightened his jaw then his tongue pocked inside his cheek as he kind of felt offended by her sarcastic replies.

"...But you lied about working as a member of his clan" He then raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms.

"Not anymore" Y/n said lowly and turned her face away, but Seonghwa seemed to dislike what she said again.

"Don't you dare say that, you're not going to fool me, I'm not dumb if that's what you think. You think that I'd believe you huh?" He took a step forward which made her flinch then he started shouting at her while pointing his finger at her.

Y/n's eyes grew wide and started tearing up but she didn't let her tears fall. Hongjoong seemed to notice their reaction and decided to step in and hold him from his arm.

"No, Hongjoong! She's acting up again and that's probably her new mission that was given by that fucking bastard!" Seonghwa screamed as his face grew even redder from his madness.

"You...you think that I'd still work for him after what he did to me? My parents? And my best friend??? I'm not that desperate just to let you know" Y/n stood up weakly and defended herself. Her voice cracked as she mentioned the painful truth.

"Stop trying for God's sake! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" He stepped closer to her. Their bodies only few inches away.

Their breathing was loud and heavy as they stared into each other's eyes in rage.

She understood what he meant but she couldn't convince him and she decided that she wasn't going to even try again.

On the other hand, his thoughts were running wild inside his head. A part of him feels sorry for her that went through all of this and another part of him wished to put her in the basement and lock her there for a while.

Both of them tried hiding their feelings but their eyes said it all.

"Please... just make it quick and empty your gun in my head now. I'm tired." Y/n muttered softly as she closed her eyes and let her tears run down her cheeks, making him change his expression for a second.
