The Sexy Billionaire

Eighteen

November 2nd

The chilly morning had chilled me down to the bones. Shivering, i stepped out from the room and realised that Hyo Rin was not around. She must had gone off to the cemetery and i felt stupid. Overslept and only woke up when it was almost noon.
I hoped that there would be some hot water left but no, i was wrong. I reluctantly jumped into the cold shower and the water were freezing cold. Unbearable, i showered quickly before turning of the tap and that was when the bathroom door was knocked upon a few times.
"Yes?"
"I need to use the bathroom," Hyo Rin's muffled voice was heard.
Wrapping the towel around my waist, i unlocked the door and before i could even step out from the bathroom, she dashed in, heading for the sink.
Dirt all over her, several twigs and dried leaves on her hair, she looked like she got into a fight. I peered sideways and several cuts on her face and dirt all over her face were visible.
"Where have you been?" I asked,"You're a mess!"
"I fell," she replied, washing off the dirt on her face.
"Fell? You look like you got into a fight," i said to her, picking the dried leaves and twigs that were stuck amongst her hair.
"So, which unfortunate person picked a fight with you?" I sneered.
"Haha, very funny," she said,"There's a first aid kit in my bag. Could you please bring it over here? And put some clothes."
"Why should i? Im not done with my shower yet," i lied smoothly,"Turned on?"
"No. Its distracting," she said, referring to my bare chest.
I searched for her bag and found it in the living room, next to a couple of pillows and a blanket which were neatly folded on an sofa.
"Did you sleep at the living room last night?" I asked upon returning to the bathroom with a first aid kit in my hands.
Her jeans tore and there were blood stains. She looked up at me and said,"Can you do me a favour? Help me to take off my jeans. I cant bend over, i must have hurt my back and sprained my ankle as well."
"Come again?" I asked, not quite sure with what i just heard. Hyo Rin sighed heavily, mumbling to herself. She kept a firm grip on the sink while her right hand unzipping her jeans before trying to take it off with some slight difficulties.
She couldnt bend over her body slightly over nor stand properly. I stopped her from falling by grabbing her shoulder.
"I'll help," i said to her.
"Finally," she said, holding onto my shoulder as i knelt down in front of her, taking off her jeans but with some difficulties since she refused to take off her left shoe.
Bleeding on her left knee and her ankle looked swollen, she sat at the edge of the tub.
"I thought i misheard you," i told her, as i cleaned her bleeding knee.
"Misheard me? How?" She asked, wincing slightly, but when i was about to answer her question, she held up her hand and said quickly,"Nevermind. Dont answer."
I dressed her wound neatly once it was clean. Her swollen ankle almost the same size as my ankle. I barely even touch it, she stopped me immediately.
"Dont," she warned me,"It hurts terribly. Just dont."
"Sure it does," i said to her,"I just want to have a look at it and you still need to take off your shoes. You cant walk around like this."
"But," she almost whined,"Can you do it slowly and gently?"
"For first timers, of course," i smiled as i untied her shoelace,"So, how did you fell exactly?"
"I was on my down the hill, maybe the brakes were faulty," she explained and i knew she was referring to the bicycle that i saw last night next to the front door.
"And i fell into a ditch," she added.
"You should have called me," i said to her,"I could have come over. How did you manage to get back home? Your ankle looks very much swollen."
"I didnt bring my phone along with me. I dont normally do," she explained.
"How did you manage to come back home?" I asked again.
"I walked," Hyo Rin said.
"You walked?" Exasperated sigh was all i could managed. So, i added,"From the look of your ankle, you shouldnt be walking. It might be fractured."
"Broken?"
"Fractured," i corrected her,"I think we should go to the hospital, just in case."
"Hospital?" She half shrieked,"No thanks."
"Look lady, from the look of your ankle, you shouldnt be walking," i said to her,"Putting pressure onto it by walking or just mere standing alone could be risky, esp if its fractured."
My medi mode turned on and i got my brother whom i thanked to for the years of listening to him babbling on and on.
"You said, if," Hyo Rin argued, standing up,"I doubt that its fractured, mister. Since i was able to walk back home, on foot."
"Of course you can stand, walk and even run but-"
"No," she said firmly,"I will not go to the hospital. Now, will you excuse me, i need to clean myself."
She pushed me out from the bathroom and closed the door right in front of my face. Leaving me in exasperation. I stood there, listening to rustling of her clothes and shower tap been turned on.
Imagining her limping stepping into the shower and in the end, i gave up. I head back to the room to put some clothes on. As much as i want to stay half naked but the chilly weather gave me a clear sign that i need to put some slightly thicker clothing on for today.
I heard the bathroom door clicked open and Hyo Rin's head peered through the door, and when she saw the sight of me, she doesnt look very happy.
"What?" I asked, approaching her.
"You could have at least told me that you have used the towel," she said, annoyed.
"I was hoping that i could give it to you personally," i sneered, passing her the towel that i used earlier,"At least i could get my imagination running wild at this hour."
"You," she narrowed her eyes at me, muttering thank you before closing the bathroom door again.
I waited for her in the hallway and soon after, she came out from the bathroom, limping.
Her left hand were against the wall, for support as she tried to walk, heading towards the bedroom.
Luckily, i followed her from behind and caught her by the shoulder when she almost slipped and fell.
Holding onto my arm firmly, i walked her towards the bedroom where she sat down on the bed.
"Need help?" I asked.
"Like what?"
"Helping you putting your clothes on," i sneered once again,"I helped you taking off your jeans earlier and i noticed that you really like to wear beige coloured undergarments."
"I can manage on my own, thanks," she said,"Too much of a good thing is not good for you."
She ushered me out and i closed the door behind me. And again, i waited for her and she came out from the bedroom a few minutes later, properly dressed, which disappoints me. I kinda enjoyed the sight of her wearing nothing else but a towel loosely wrapped around her body. Smooth fair skin, it was difficult to control the urge not to caress it.
"Are you up for a trip?" I asked her.
"We are going back to the city," she said to me, limping as we entered the living room.
"No, my dear," i said to her,"Not just yet."
"What do you mean?"
"I still need to go to Busan, remember?" I reminded her.
"Oh," she frowned, remarkably, the v shape formed between her eyebrows looked cute,"For how long?"
"Im not sure myself," i shrugged,"Why?"
"Nothing. But we're going back tomorrow, right?" She asked.
No. The more time i spent with you, the better. I thought to myself. I smiled and lied smoothly,"Yes, of course."
And so, my adventure has begun. And i'll make sure that she would definitely going to remember it for the rest of her life.
