Because It's Love | EXO CHEN

3. A Good 'Abnormal'

Okay, I hadn't realized that I've been holding my breath for a while now. Adding on to the uneasiness is the racking pain that's tormenting my body, and it's making me shudder.

In the end, my wobbly legs lost its strength. I nearly crumbled down but my body never got to touch the ground. It happened in a blink of an eye, but this time, I personally witnessed how he caught me in his steady arms, preventing me from the fall. So magical.

My natural reaction was to wrap my arms around his neck, but a second later, every part of me screamed internally that this wasn't right.

My heart was pounding vigorously but I was well aware that I shouldn't be taking advantage of the angel before me. I wasn't his anyone to keep such a close contact, let alone be in his arms.

So I loosened my grip without hesitation, but that only made him pull me closer toward him.

He shook his head gently and frowned, "it's okay, you can hold onto me...just hold onto me."

HI HELLO sorry to intrude but my heart is hammering like crazy so I'm just casually wondering if you heard anything??

"Uh....ah-I..."

My mind was flooded with thousands of disorganized thoughts and I couldn't form the right words in my mouth.

Thoughts like 'YOU'RE SO GORGEOUS UP CLOSE?!' and 'why are you here?' or was I supposed to greet him and introduce my pathetic self?

Worst, that I'll never want to imagine, is if he actually visited a wrong room.

It was a 5-second hesitation before he grabbed my hand and positioned it behind his neck once again, hinting me to just do as he says. So I quietly obeyed.

It's the 2nd time now.

It's the 2nd time he's carrying me like this. Princess style they say? He sauntered his way into the room and placed me back lightly on the hospital bed. He carried me like I was a piece of feather.

How is that possible? I'm not too sure because I eat like a pig. Not even kidding. So the alternate plausible explanation for this would be that he was really muscular, really strong.

I look at him starry-eyed. What am I suppose to say?

There's an extremely handsome god standing right in front of me and I'm probably looking ugly as hell without makeup and I haven't bathe since I woke.

So I stink too, gosh. What a timing.

An awkward silence filled the room but he settled down comfortably by my bedside, looking down at the ground - as if guilty, before looking back at me.

I, on the other hand, am just admiring the beauty of a perfect being sitting right in front of me. I cannot fathom what I am really seeing now.

"I am really sorry. For whatever that's happened to you. You shouldn't have taken the hit. There's no reason to -"

I chuckled at his apology.

"You're not here to lecture me about what I should or shouldn't have done...right?"

His eyes widen, stunned at the remark I made.

Crap I wasn't thinking when I said that. Did I come off as rude? I just wanted to lighten the atmosphere...after all, I received a lecture from mum and Jas already...
