January 6th
Due to exhaustion and annoyance, grocery shopping with a man who was a complete health conscious freak, i fell asleep in the car uncomfortably. But mainly because of exhaustion and the stabbing pain i had on my lower abdomen.
I woke up to it and found myself sleeping on one of his long sofa in the living room. Sat up and saw him preparing food in the kitchen.
Only in his white singlet and shorts, he had his back facing me and man, those arms. I had to admit, it was a very nice view indeed. But i only could mesmerized by the view for awhile.
The blanket slides off from my lap and fell with a soft thud on the floor, and Kim Jong Kook looked over his shoulder,"You're awake. I hope i didnt wake you up."
"Not really," i said, wanting to get up but i pretended to readjust myself on the sofa.
"You dont have to get up," he said quickly, looking concerned,"Are you okay?"
I nodded, and that was a lie. I bent over to pick up the blanket of the floor, wincing slightly and had to pretend that i was fine when i got up.
"Meals will be ready in a few minutes. If you want to, you can wash up at the bathroom at the end of the hallway," he said to me, and once more turning his back to me.
I prayed, hoping that there would be some painkillers in his medicine cabinet. Rushing immediately to the bathroom, i locked the door from inside and began to search for painkillers in the cabinet above the sink. Several bottles fell from the shelf and rolled across the bathroom floor and the pain that i had were beginning to feel unbearable. I had to grab a hold by the sink just to support myself when i felt my knees buckled. I began to start feeling a weird sensation between my legs, as if like i just peed in my pants. Looking down, dark stains were beginning to spread all over my middle and down my legs.
The white tiles in the bathroom where i was struggling to stand were no longer white but were stained by blood.
Several heavy pounding on the door was heard soon after.
Kim Jong Kook's anxious voice was heard,"Are you okay? Open the door."
"Im fine," i lied,"Just go back to your cooking, im coming out just a sec."
"Like hell you are fine. You're bleeding! Please, open the goddamn door, Hyo Rin!" He barked.
Oh God, as much as i want to let him in but i couldnt let go holding onto the sink.
"Open the door! I swear to God i'll break the damn door open!" He warned, sounding more anxious, not to mention exasperated.
I let go of the sink, reaching out for the door and my weak knees gave me away. Upon unlocking the door, i collapsed, unable to support myself.
Kim Jong Kook came in almost immediately and panicked when he saw the amount of blood on his bathroom floor.
"Am i bleeding that much?" I asked him.
He didnt answer, as he grabbed a clean towel on the shelf, wrapping my lower body in it.
Before carrying me in his arms, he warned me not to look down and the moment i saw the amount of blood on the floor, everything else turned pitch black. Right before i passed out i heard him muttering,"Shit."In a distant, i heard a familiar voice, talking and mentioning my name and fear grew in me. That particular voice was definitely someone whom i personally wished that he wont be seeing me like this. I woke up abruptly due to fear and my heart sank when i saw my grandfather right in front of me.
He held up his hand, shaking his head and that was what i was afraid of. His face was completely read, blotchy and tear stricken but mainly because he was mad. His anger was frightening and it actually changed the mood in the room completely.
Jin Hyuk on the other hand looked solemn and there were bruises on his face. Bearing a cut on his upper lips, i immediately knew that he had a scuffle with Kim Jong Kook. Most probably not long after i was sent to the hospital.
Kim Jong Kook was nowhere to be seen. The doctor and nurse came in and i was surprised to see my grandfather's two bodyguards standing just outside the door. I was somehow relieved when i caught a glimpse of Kim Jong Kook's arm right before the door was close.
Perhaps the doctor and the nurse felt the tension in the room, they politely ushered my grandfather and Jin Hyuk out.
I silently thanked the doctor and the nurse but i still couldnt help it but to feel tensed.
The nurse was about to checked on my blood pressure when all the 3 of us heard a loud commotion coming from outside. Before they could stop me, i got off the bed, slightly dizzy and to my horror, Kim Jong Kook's face were twice as worse as Jin Hyuk's. Bruised terribly on his right eye, blood stains just above his upper lips and a deep cut on his chin and his bottom lips.
"No!" I said, pushing away the two bodyguards from holding him down, shielding him away from the 4 of them.
My grandfather looked like he was going to explode. And the last time i saw him this angry was when i had my first car accident when i was 19.
My weak knees prevented me from standing up properly and Kim Jong Kook grabbed a hold onto me by my shoulder and waist.
"Im fine," he whispered quietly in my ears.
No one spoke and it was the doctor who spoke first, mainly out of urgency.
"Miss, please. You need to get back to your bed," he said to me.
"Hyo Rin, listen to the doctor," my grandfather said warningly,"Please."
"No," i shook my head,"I wont. Unless Jong Kook stays."
"Dont be stupid," he added and this time, he couldnt contained his anger anymore,"Go back to your room, young lady."
I was hoping that Kim Jong Kook was going to stop me from leaving but no, he had been giving Jin Hyuk a silent signal, gesturing him to drag me back to my room.
Reluctantly, Jin Hyuk grabbed me and i was in his arm and as i struggled to break free, Kim Jong Kook told me not to worry as he would be just fine.
As the door closed behind us, i could no longer hear anything. Just footsteps.
The doctor and the nurse were annoyed, i could tell and i sat back on my bed without saying a word.
Jin Hyuk were standing at the corner of the room, watching me getting check up. I was given some medications and ate them almost immediately before lying back down and pulled the blanket over, covering my head as well. I knew i couldnt do anything else but to stay. I wanted to stay awake, hoping that Kim Jong Kook would be able to come in but the medication was starting to make me feel drowsy and i fell asleep soon after.Perhaps it was around midnight when i once again woke up abruptly from my dreamless slumber.
Jin Hyuk was still by my side, looking exhausted but i couldnt help myself to start feeling mad at him.
"Before you explode on me," he said quickly,"I got something for you."
Something?
"Im not in the mood to receive anything from you right now," i snapped.
Jin Hyuk remained silent as he got up and went out.
I began searching for my handbag, thinking of calling Kim Jong Kook. I heard the door slide opened, thinking that it was just Jin Hyuk coming back in, so, i chose to ignore it as i bent over, just to look for my handbag under the hospital bed since it was not under the side counter.
"What on earth are you doing?" A familiar voice asked and I jerked right back up.
Hugging him tightly, i was so relieved to see him again.
"I told you i'll be fine," Kim Jong Kook said with a smile.
"Fine? With that beaten face of yours, fine?" I said, annoyed.
"This?" He scratched his chin as he sat down on the chair which Jin Hyuk had occupied earlier on,"This is nothing. Jin Hyuk & I are fine."
"Nevermind him," i dismissed him quickly,"He most probably the one who told my grandfather about it. Otherwise none of us had to face his wrath."
"No. He wasnt the one who told him," Kim Jong Kook said gently,"I called Jin Hyuk right after they took you off to the emergency room."
I wasnt expecting that but i couldnt help it but to ask him again who actually blabbed it out to my grandfather.
"I did," Kim Jong Kook confessed, shrugging slightly as he arranged several food containers on the table.
Again, totally unexpected and i was caught off guard.
"Why the hell did you tell him for?" I asked, beginning to feel angry for his stupidity.
"If you were me, after seeing you bleeding that much, you most probably going to do the same," he replied,"I was afraid at that time. So, i gave him a call."
He nudged me to have some food which most probably he had cooked earlier on.
"Then what happened to your face?" I asked again, ignoring the food completely,"You and Jin Hyuk had a scuffle again?"
"Er, no," he said,"Your grandfather apparently lost his temper and his bodyguards began to beat the shit out of me & Jin Hyuk."
He chuckled and added,"Damn they are very good in kick boxing."
I stared at him,"You still can chuckle, after you had been beaten by them?"
Kim Jong Kook waved his hand impatiently and quickly added,"Please. Eat. While they are still warm."
"No," i said quickly,"How can i eat after seeing you like this?"
"Im alright, lady. Please," he said in annoyance,"You need to eat."
I pushed the table away,"No."
Reaching for his half badly beaten face, Kim Jong Kook grabbed my wrist and said,"Dont."
"Why?" I asked.
"If you're going to apologise, dont." He said warningly,"I deserved it."
"No! You havent done anything wrong," i said quickly,"It was grandpa's fault. He should have not lost control of his temper."
"It is my fault!" He half shouted,"If it wasnt because of me, you wouldnt end up like this! You wouldnt have to be in so much pain. It tears me apart seeing you like this. I was terrified when i saw that much blood coming dripping out from you."
He pushed my hands away when i wanted to give him a hug, consoling him. Shaking his head as he stood up,"I deserved to be beaten. Jin Hyuk was beaten for keeping it as a secret."
I couldnt help it but to cry, as i too, got off from my bed just to reach out for him but Kim Jong Kook stepped back, away from me.
"You're not going to leave me again, are you?" I asked.
Silence fell. Kim Jong Kook looked devastated.
My knees went weak and i fell onto the cold floor. He took a step forward, wanting to help me up but he stopped halfway.
"Kim Jong Kook!" I called out for him as he stormed out, taking the opportunity to leave as he knew i was still terribly weak to stand up on my own.
Jin Hyuk came rushing in almost immediately and he helped me up, between my sobs, he offered me a comforting hug.
"He left." That was all i could manage to say.
