Tough Girl's Sweetheart 12

Haeul POV
"Oppa? Joonmyun oppa?!" I start to feel panicky when I saw the empty room.

Before I could get more antsy, Joonmyun emerged from the bathroom with a questionable look. I sigh in relief after that mini panic attack. 

"Waeyo Haeul?" Joonmyun asks as he walks back to the bed.

"Nothing.  Just thought you weren't in the room," I said and sat at the chair beside the bed.

Joonmyun nod and chug down the medications prepared. I hand him the glass of water and watch him make uncomfortable faces at the after taste of the medicine.  He look at the bottle of white liquid antibiotics and grimace while I laugh at his dislike of medicines.  He ended up falling asleep while we were talking about the recent drama that I am watching which is 'Oh! My Ghostess'. I pull the blanket up and just settle to watch him sleep. I sigh yet a again. Would you still want to be with me if you knew about him who is after me?

NEXT DAY...

Joonmyun POV
I place the last piece of my belonging into the bag and tried to zip it but of course, nothing is easy with just one hand. While I was concentrating hard on pulling the zip down, a gentle hand was placed onto mine. I turn to my right to see Haeul helping me with the bag zipper.

"Morning!" I greet her cheerfully. 

"Morning oppa~" Haeul greeted back as cheerfully as me," Happy to be home?"

"Of course! There is nothing like home," I said with a smile. The hospital became boring after the second day...

"Let's go! Your brothers are downstairs to bring us back home," Haeul snatch the bag from my grasp and walk away.

I felt this warm fuzzy feeling in my chest when she said 'bring us back home'. Why?... I was snapped out of my day dream when I heard my name being called.

"Joonmyun oppa!" Haeul wave her hands infront of my face," Are you okay?! Is your chest in pain? Do we need to call the doctor?!"

I look down to see my left hand clenching my chest. My body have a mind of its own...

"Stay here. I'll call the doctor," Haeul said and was about to walk away but I quickly grasp her arm and pull her back to me which ended up making her tumble over me, pushing me down to the bed behind me. Good thing the bed is behind me....

I open my eyes to see her face barely inches apart from mine. Every breath made by her would fan over my face. She stayed still frozen as I too became frozen. I gaze down to see her pink lips slightly apart. How would they feel like? Soft? Sweet? Those thoughts were playing in my mind as my body acted on its own. Centimetre by centimetre, I moved nearer. Haeul eyes became hooded as I came nearer. Barely touching but just not there yet, our lips were just a cm away when the door bursts open.

"Hyun- Ah sorry!" Kai voice echoed throughout the room before he slams the door shut again.

Haeul quickly got off me and look away. I too quickly got up and look down at my shoes.

"S-sorry about that. And it's okay, y-you don't need to call the doctor, " I apologise stuttering,  not daring to look at her in the eyes.

"A-ah really? I-it's okay. We should be going now. Everyone is waiting," Haeul said in a rush and walk away quickly with my bag in her hand.

What the hell was that?! I hit myself in the head a few times before walking out too where mostly everyone is. Kai smirk in my way and I look away. I glance at Haeul standing beside Kyungsoo who is animatedly talking to her excitedly but she seemed to be in her own world, nodding once in a while.

"So... you guys are at 'that' level huh hyung?" Kai suddenly whispered beside me.

I held my chest from the sudden scare attack from Kai.

"You scared me. When were you here?! I thought you were over there?" I point to the spot where Kai used to be.

"Jongin always have his ways hyung. I wonder what would have happened if I didn't barge in just now. Noona would most likely walk down the aisle with a Suho junior in her belly," Kai teasingly said, leaving me in a blushing mess.

"Yah! W-what a-are you talking about?! We did nothing," I look away from him and deny while touching my heated face.

"Aww Hyung. You should have continued. I could have covered for you. Now you can't find anymore privacy if noona is staying with us. Especially with Exo around," Kai whined and sigh.

"You misunderstood. We weren't doing anything. Let's just go home, I'm tired," I tried to change the subject and moved to Xiumin who warmly welcome me with a gentle hug.

"Let's go everyone!" Xiumin announced and everyone pool into the lift to get to the carpark.

I was at the corner of the lift when suddenly Hauel appeared infront of me, body pressed gently to mine.

"Ahh the lift is so small," Sehun whined," Should we take the next one hyung?"

"You take by yourself if you want, we're going without you then," Kai said and gave a smirk in my way. KIM JONGIN!

I look down to end up locking eyes with Haeul who was looking up to me and we both look away. The lift door finally closes and Kai is being an ass. He pushed on Tao who fell behind to Haeul and Haeul was ended up pressed more onto me. I wince when my shoulder made contact with the metal wall behind me harshly. Haeul saw that and put her arms around me so there is space for me to move infront a bit. I look at her thankfully while she just smiled back. We finally reached the car park and I finally let out the breath I was holding.

"We came in 3 cars today so let's split up," Xiumin said," Lay, Chanyeol and me are the drivers."

"I'll follow you along with noona and Joonmyun hyung. The rest can be split up into two," D.O suddenly said and unusually,  everyone agrees. They usually argue at things like this... 

They finally settled to having Lay, Chen, Kai in one car and Baekhyun, Chanyeol, Tao and Sehun in the other. I was in the backseat with Haeul as insisted by D.O. The whole car ride was quite silent other than Xiumin singing along to the songs on the radio. I glance to my left where Haeul was to find her falling asleep and it was cute seeing her trying to stay awake.

"Minseok ah, your song choices are too boring that Haeul is falling asleep," I said and laugh.

"Chinca?!" Xiumin gasp dramatically while Haeul just smile while closing her eyes," Are they too old fashioned for you Haeul?"

"Nope. I'm just tired because I had sparring yesterday night with my brother and Monsters," Haeul explain with her eyes still closed," This is usual."

"Rest then. I'll wake you up when we reach there," I insists. 

"I'll take a nap once we reach your house oppa. I'm quite hard to be woken up once I fell asleep," Haeul said and finally open back her eyes to slap her face gently. 

I nod and went back to staring out the window till all the way to home. Once we finally reach home, I can actually see how tired Haeul is by the dark eyebags below her eyes. I frown at her sacrificing her sleeping time because of me. I stood beside her and pat her head.

"Go in and rest for a while. I can handle myself for a few hours," I told her as she rubs her eyes and yawn simultaneously. 

"Okay. But if I don't wake up by 2pm, promise to wake me up?" Haeul looked at me seriously. 

"Promise!" I held out my left hand pinky and Haeul gladly took them.

After putting my bag in my room, she went to the room opposite mine. I look around my room and had never felt more glad to be home. I took out my textbooks and worksheets that Xiumin had collected from the teachers to start doing the late homeworks. But one problem, I'm not a left handed. So one essay that usually took me 30 mins to write,  now actually took me about 1 hour to write plus with scratchy writing. I sigh in frustrating after completing the third history essay. I put the pen down and did minor stretching when there was a knock on the door.

"You can come in," I said.

The door opened revealing Haeul's head poking in while scanning my room before her sight feel onto me, who is at the corner. She smiled and wave before pushing the door open bigger for her to enter. Following behind her was Damien carrying a tray of food.

"I thought you were still sleeping?" I asked.

"Oh I woke up an hour ago. Was at the kitchen with Damien ahjusshi and Kyungsoo, making you some porridge. Left my recipe with Kyungsoo incase you crave it when I'm not around," Haeul help Damien set the tray of food down.

"I'll be going then young master and miss Haeul," Damien bowed politely and left.

"Sit down oppa," Haeul pull me down to sit on the chair as she drag another chair to sit opposite me," I'll feed you."

"It's okay. I can use my left hand to feed myself. It's just porridge right?" I reject her offer and laugh.

"Alright if you say so," Haeul gave me the spoon and I gladly dig in.

I smile in satisfaction when I taste the familiar yet interesting flavour of the porridge. Of course our chef's cooking is superb but Haeul's porridge had this home-ish favour. Something like a mother's cooking? Something I never had....

"I think we should get married once you fully recover oppa," Haeul suddenly said.

I stupidly swallow the whole chug of porridge, making me cough and choke. Haeul hand me a glass of water and pat my back while I tried to control the coughing fit.

"What?" I look at her confused.

"I just think that we should get married as soon as you recover," Haeul said and smile," Are you okay with this? If you aren't, I won't bring it up to our parents."

"B-but why? Why the rush?" I ask and gulp more water to ease my throat. 

"Just because. We are going to be married either way. Why not make it faster. Plus I like you oppa. I don't need to dig into you deeper to know that you are a good man," Haeul explains and gave a thumb up.

"B-but... Isn't it too fast? I mean how can you be so sure that I can be a good husband? Isn't this is why we are engaged? To at least get to know each other?" I asked, having mixed feelings. Strangely, excitement was one of them....

"I know you that much to judge so don't worry. Plus didn't both our fathers said we will get married in 2 months time to the whole world? I just think it's okay. I don't see any reason to disagree after thinking about it for a few days," Haeul look at me seriously. 

I was silent for a while. Is there any reason to disagree?

"When you put it that way... I don't have a reason to disagree then. It's not like I don't like you too," I confess while playing with the spoon.

I look at Haeul to see her smiling at me widely. She suddenly came nearer and hug me.

"Thank you oppa," she said while hugging me," Sorry too."

"It's okay," I said, too flustered by the sudden hug.

Don't make me get my hopes high because I know you would never love me back....

Haeul POV
You have put yourself in danger just by knowing me. Keeping you closer to me would do better than pushing you away, for now. You will be too vulnerable alone. I could protect you better this way. But I shouldn't develop anymore feelings for you. Because I will be leaving anyways in the future. Sorry oppa, I shouldn't have drag you into this.  Maybe I was born to be alone...
