Yoona counted her steps as she walked down the stairs, trying to memorize the lines she was going to say to Adonis' parents.
As she continued thinking, she bumped hardly into Adonis.

His hoarse laughter brought her back to reality.
She looked up at him.

"What happened to your voice?" she asked

He looked around and adjusted his loose shirt "Nothing."

"Better don't do that in front of me." Yoona said as she walked past him.

"Do what?" he ran after her "You should help me arrange it.."

Yoona turned to him and sighed heavily "I'm really scared, Adonis." she said.

Adonis bent down to her ear and said "I heard kisses make people feel less tense."

Yoona glared at him and hit him on the shoulder, laughing.

Adonis smiled "That's better." He said as he held her hand and led her to the dining.

Dinner was quite good; the only problem Yoona had was Adonis' dad and Mrs. Didi staring at her.

She felt tense whenever she spoke with Mr. Alister. It felt like he didn't just want her around her son.

"So, hope you don't have some Korean guy over there.. Don't trick us here.." Mr. Alister said and chuckled to himself, while Yoona just dropped her cutlery and rubbed her palms together.

Adonis held her hands gently beneath the table. "That isn't nice, dad." He said simply.

"Oh.. I wasn't trying to cause problems.." Mr. Alister replied with his hands up.

Adonis heard Yoona sigh a little and felt her shifting uncomfortably.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" he asked her in a whisper and squeezed her hands more.

"No it's fine.." she whispered back.

"You don't have to stay here if you don't want to.."

"It's fine, Adonis.. We really don't have to leave."

"You can talk outside, we don't mind." Mrs. Alister finally said with a smile.

"Shall we?" Adonis said as he got up with Yoona.

Once they got outside, Yoona poured out her entire heart, almost crying...no.. Crying.

"I think he doesn't want me here.. It feels so..so terrible.." she said as she quickly wiped off every year that fell form her eyes.

"You should've told me you wanted to leave there sooner.." Adonis said

"How would that look like?"

"Forget how it would look like.. Being respectful doesn't mean you should stay in a toxic environment!" he said, this time almost angry.

Yoona just sat on a bench and stared at another direction. She didn't want Adonis to see she was crying.

"Yoona.." he called and came closer.

"Don't come here. Go away." she said and kept on turning her face.

"Yoona."He called firmly and faced her to him. Yoona looked at Adonis, still sobbing.

"Even if this is fake, as long as we're friends, I'll be there to help you." Adonis told her.

Yoona stared at him for a long time, before finally asking "Wanna see a movie tonight?"

Adonis laughed "Sure. Why not?"

"Let's go back in." She said.

"No." Adonis chuckled "We're going to my room." he said and led her to the back of the house.

After few minutes of walking in dim lights, they finally arrived at a huge corridor.

"You surely have all the shortcuts." She said as she climbed the stairs.

Adonis laughed. "Try not to use yours. You might break a leg."

The next morning.
Yoona's POV.

I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed them. As I looked around, everywhere seemed.. different.

This wasn't my room..it wasn't my house..
Then it occurred to me; I was at Adonis'.

But then!..THIS WASN'T MY ROOM!
It wasn't the room Adonis showed me..

I quickly got up from the soft bed I was laying on and looked around..
Right.. I was in his room.

Yoona got up from the bed and walked around, looking for Adonis. Then, she finally saw him at the corridor.

"Good morning.." she muttered,making Adonis turn to face her with a tired look on his face.

Yoona gasped out loudly. "Are you okay?" she asked and gently held his face.

"I should be asking you that.." Adonis said immediately.

"What?"

"You almost died at night."

"What?, How?" Yoona asked, scared.

"You stopped breathing for a long time.. and-" Adonis gasped "What was that?"

Yoona blinked multiple times. "I should go to my room."She said and walked away.

As she lay on the bed, she remembered her brother's voice again.. Something she wished she'll totally forget about..

"Take care of yourself Yoona. The  clot in your lungs will go away."

Yoona sighed tiredly. "It's still there, Dr. Young.." she muttered to herself.
