15 princes and a princess 39

*Yesungs POV*

I was beginning to get worried about Rayn. Two weeks had passed since she woke up, but she's deteriorating. Not physically... I still think she's healing, but she's sad all the time... She never really moves around, not that she can, and she doesn't have many people in to visit anymore. She just stares solidly at the wall opposite her bed with glassy eyes.

Today is the day that she's allowed to go and get crutches, so she can basically walk again. I hope it will cheer her up because I hate seeing her like this, she's become introverted lately. Kearra comes up a lot but she mostly sits with ZhouMi in the corner and doesn't say a lot to the rest of us.

I cracked open the door of our bedroom and found Rayn curled over and shaking. I ran to her side and kicked the door shut, putting a protective arm around her shoulder. As soon as my arm rested on her back she flinched, turning to look at me. Her eyes were glass orbs, her face was pale and she was quivering and shaking as big tears rolled in icy streams down her cheeks.

"Rayn, what happened?" I asked, keeping my voice calm and strong. She sniffled and rubbed her eyes with the corner of the duvet.

"It's just that, today I get crutches which means that I have to go and see Lee SooMan. He's going to shout at me for causing trouble and tell me I have to leave. Even if I can't go on a plane, he'll make me move out for the month before I can. I don't want to leave Oppa, I love you. The guys are all such good friends, Kearras awesome and the SHINee boys are too.... This is my home now! I don't want to go back to England, I miss Myst and Teddy and Xavier and Hayl and my mum but I would miss you more and I can't bear to think about it!" She sobbed, turning to bury her face in her pillow. I stopped her, tilting her head towards me and looking deeply into her eyes.

"I won't let him make you leave. He can't take you away from me Rayn! I love you too." I said, pulling her towards me. She crumbled, still crying quietly, into my chest and I stroked my hand through her hair, murmuring words of encouragement. "It will all be okay."

She sat up abruptly and wiped at her tears furiously. Her face was twisted in slight anger and I leaned back a bit.

"I despise that phrase. 'Its all going to be okay'. How can we tell? We can't see into the future."

"Okay then. I'm sorry."

"Not your fault, its a generic human thing to say, to comfort those around us in times of stress and angst. I can't blame you for doing something that all humans do, heck I've said it myself, albeit not really meaning it." She said bluntly. I sighed and gave her a hug. She relaxed slightly but not completely and I moved to stand up.

"Come on, we're going to get your crutches; you might even get to see Dr. JaeGuk again..." I teased. She pouted at me and shifted into her chair, wheeling herself into the front room.

She was in a floor length, crinkley, black skirt and a dark green long sleeved v-neck t-shirt. On her non-casted leg she wore a dark green converse hi-top. She smiles meekly as she got to the living room, the guys and Kearra turned to look at her.

"I'm going to get my crutches today, then I'm going to go and talk to Lee SooMan. Hopefully I will see you all later, if not, I guess it was nice knowing you." She mumbled sadly, fiddling with her handbag handles in her lap and not looking up.

"He can't send you away, Manager Hyung won't let him, trust me!" Kangin said calmly. She looked up at him and he smiled warmly. "Hyung thinks you're good for us, you keep us on our toes and make us all happy. You bring a little bit of something into the door, something we don't have... I suppose you could say... A woman's touch. The dorms better just having you here and he has seen that, how you can handle our moods and make us happy again, even when you're struggling with things yourself. You're a strong person Rayn, and Hyung admires that in you."
