Our Unusual Love

Chapter 5

Everyone has been staring at Leo and he just stared back at us with his blank face once again.

He stepped out of the room and left the other VIXX members inside with me. Everyone looked flustered and one by one they followed him.

I adjusted the covers before deciding to lie back down. I was still thinking on why Leo acted that way. It didn't seem like a big deal to the members who proposed it.

Why did you have to act that way Leo? Why are you even more mysterious everytime I see you?

I spent the rest of the day thinking about it and eventually the day ended and VIXX went home and I was left alone in that empty white room, except for a table, a bed, a small sofa and a weird box mounted on the wall, there was nothing else to see.

I woke up the next morning, as I expected still alone. In my alone time, I pondered about what Cheng eonnie was telling me. I moved my legs a bit underneath the covers, in short I was playing around when my leg hit something under the covers

I put my hand under the covers and found something underneath. What is this? I felt it for a while before eventually inspecting it above the covers

It felt like a block of something. A box perhaps? It felt like leather on the outside but what is this really?

I pulled it out and found a box-type block. It had a broken lock and my hands trembled as I continued to unhitch the lock.

A book

It was a book. Why does it seem familiar? I stared into nothingness as I tried to recall where I had seen it. I laid down and placed my arm over my eyes to block the bright light from the window.

"This book contains things you should know in order to survive in the mundane world. Their lives aren't as easy as we had perceived in the past"

I suddenly jolted up when I heard Cheng eonnie's voice in my head. I looked around but the only person around was a startled nurse who was checking something where the needle connected to me was connected. I hid the book back under the covers before anyone could see it

"A-are you alright?" She asked me still shocked

"Ah... ne" (ah... yes) I replied and smiled at her. She forced a smile and tried to recover from the shock as she adjusted something with tense shoulders

She quietly made her way out of the room and closed the door. I pulled out the book once again from underneath the covers. I felt the cover of the book and then in one of the corners, a glow started when I touched it. I quickly retracted my hand from that corner and tried opening the book.

After trying for a while, the book still wouldn't open.

"Aish!" I shouted in frustration and another lady wearing white came in with some papers and a clip board in her hand and something around her neck

"Annyeong haseyo (hello), I'm the doctor assigned to you, my name is Doctor Gu" she said and walked towards me

For the 2nd time, I hid the book and she approached me all smiles. I smiled back at her and she seemed like a nice person. I sat up and

"So, how are you feeling?" She asked me and it started a series of other questions that revolved around how I was feeling and if the wound in my head still hurt and whether or not I still felt dizzy and other stuff

"Well, it seems like you'll be discharged in 3 days, if you need anything, you can call me or nurse Choi okay?" she said after writing something down. I nodded and she smiled

I watched as she opened the door to leave and then suddenly turned back

"Gomawoyo" (thank you) she said her eyes sparkling and her voice was filled with sincerity
