Theres a slight calm in her mind as she awake from her sleep.
She cant place it but its definitely there. Something is pulling her towards calm acceptance and its a first after a few months.
She came out of her sleep to find that the room is warm and its night time. The view outside her window is the first thing that she sees when she open her eyes. But this time its dark outside. She can only make out the silhouette of trees and somehow it makes her calm.
Someone was sleeping on the side of her bed. She can see mass of jet black hair and and arm. Who is this guy?
Her mind went back to her last night with Yonghwa and she became sad. How long was she in the hospital? Maybe Yonghwa and Eunji is already married.
Lying there thinking about it. She accepted her fate. Maybe they were really not meant to be. She close her eyes and she felt tired all of a sudden. She sigh as she welcome sleep again. Maybe tomorrow, when she see Dhezzy shell be ok.
" shes still sleeping. But yesterday the doctor didnt give her anything." Dhezzy's despondent voice woke her up.
" cupcake. Let her heal. Shell wake up when shes ready." She heard that voice again.
She heard the door open and someone came over her and kissed her hand.
" wake up sweetheart. Im here."
Her heart pounded on her chest she knew that voice.
" do you think..." Dhezzys voice was cut off by the slamming of the door.
" what the hell! Why didnt you tell me?!" It was Min's angry voice that made her open her eyes in an instant.
" damn you Yonghwa!"
Min was going to throw a punch but another guy hold him and prevented him from coming closer to Yonghwa. He is holding her hand but his gaze is fixed on her brother.
" this is all your fault! You will nor come near Pauline again Min! If you do I will personally make your life a living hell!" Yonghwa's outburst is full of venom and hatred.
Dhezzy slapped Min as she cried.
" youre crazy! Are you happy now? Shes here because of you!"
" S-stop..."
Everyone stop talking. Yonghwa turn to her right away and kiss her hand." How are you feeling Pau?"
" t-thirsty.." She croaked. Her throat felt like theres sandpaper being run thru it.
Yong immediately got a bottled water with a straw and she sip slowly. Her eyes never leaving his face. He look like he hasnt slept in a while. His cheeks are hollow and theres a dark ring under his eyes.
He place the bottle back on the side table and he caress her face.
" are you hungry? " he asked and she shake her head. She smiled a little then she look around her.
Dhezzy is smiling at her and the guy that was holding Min earlier has his arms around her shoulders.
" this is my brother Thor. " she said by way of introduction.
" hey baby you ok?" He said and she smiled.
She found Min at the foot of the bed looking at her. He has filled out since he last saw him. His chest is wider and his hair a bit longer.
She wanted to call him but after a few minutes he just turn around and walked out of the room.
Paulines eyes misted. Min is still angry at her.
" dont cry." Yonghwa soothed her and wipe the tears with his fingers. " I will not let him come near you again."
She heard the door close. She look up and saw that Dhez and her brother went out. She look at Yonghwas face and she frowned.
" why..are you..here? " she asked him.
" because.." He said as he smiled.
" go home.." She said. " Eunji.."
"...is in London. We broke up." Yonghwa smiled at her confused expression then he kiss her cheek. " you have to rest sweetheart. I want to take you home to our house."
" b-but.."
" no buts. I will take you home. Three years is a long time Pau. I missed you so much." His eyes held the feelings she has in her heart.
" you..sure?" She asked him and his smile widens.
" yes Im sure. You shouldve told me about it. Instead of running away. " he said quietly. She shake her head. " Now I'll stay here and watch you. Well talk about it after you rest."
" please. Dont tell..dad." She requested as Yonghwa look at her.
His eyes clouded and he look angry but then he sighed. " ok. Im not going to say anything to your parents. But Pau, Im not going to allow him to be near you or me. He has done so much damage and I dont know if I can restrain myself. I want to beat the shit out of him!"
His eyes suddenly softened at her pained expression. " I dont want to lose you. I might die the next time you leave me..."
She smiled at Yonghwa." Im..staying.."
