| mara's point of view
The room I was in was so cold when I regained consciousness. I got a needle inserted under my skin, my eyes followed the tubings where it was connected and realized that I was hooked with IV fluids. I was in a hospital. Obviously. The door opened and Ashton came to my side.
"The doctor just talked to me outside." He said, standing beside my bed, "Are you alright now?"
I nodded my head groggily. I had no strength to push myself up, "Where's August?"
"He went with William." Ashton replied calmly, "To finish some things so he's not coming back for awhile." He added and then went to pick up his blazer, "Since you're okay now, I'm going to take my leave."
"Where are you going?" I asked genuinely when he turned his back on me again.
"I was given a job to do." Ashton titled his head to look back at me, "The kind of job only I can execute, cleanly and silently."
He spoke in a very clear manner and it answered all the questions in my head but there was one left unanswered, "Can I know who you're after?"
"An insane bitch who got her confidence too high and went after William's throat." He said and I stayed silent afterwards. "Let me tell you something, she was also the reason why you were kidnapped. She brought you at our doorstep."
"Goodmorning, Miss Mara. I'm here to replace you're IV bottle." A nurse came in and pushed in the medication cart. "You lost a lot of your electrolytes because of that high fever you had but don't worry you're in no danger."
She checked my vital signs in the monitor and Ashton took the chance to slip out of the room quietly. I fell into sleep again after the nurse left, in order to recover fast and build my strength back up but woke up again when I heard voices inside the room. The walls were painted different colors, no, they weren't painted. I squinted my eyes and found baskets and bouquets of flowers on one side of the room and some on the foot of my bed.
"She's awake." Someone murmured. I recognize those voices.
Their faces came into view and a hand slipped themselves with mine, tangling his fingers between mine. His smile was the first thing I saw, "Tae?"
"That's right. I'm here." Taehyung lifted my hand up to his face and kissed it. "I'm here, Mara."
"Hey, I'm not dying." I joked and then another hand held mine and I felt something wet touch my skin, Hoseok had his head bent over my arm, his shoulders shook to suppress his sobs.
"Hoseok.. are you crying?" I giggled weakly. He raised his head up and wiped his eyes dry.
