The beauty and the wolves (EXO fanfic)

Chapter 10: Old Wounds Part 3

JIN'S POV

I woke up to a lot of pain and I opened my eyes slowly. "Oh, good you're up." I turned and saw a woman. "angheyanseo, my name is Sooyoung, I am the schools nurse/doctor." she said. "do you feel any pain or discomfort?" she asked. As I pushed myself into sitting position, I felt a throbbing pain on my left eye, mouth, and chest. I told her and she handed me a mirror. I looked into the face of a stranger. Never before had I seen my face this badly hurt, not even during the accident.

My eye was black like a blackhole, the bruise stretched from my eye to my temple down my left cheek past my neck and it ran down where it disappeared behind the bandages on my chest. My arm was also covered in bruises and they trailed all the way to my fingertips. My battered skin was inflamed and swollen. It was painful to move so I just stayed still. "he really did a number on you didn't he?" she said. "didn't people tell you not to make him your enemy, if I were you I'd take that advice seriously, if Dae-Hyun and Shin hadn't pulled him off when they did, you would have had worse damage than what you see now." she said.

"It doesn't really matter to me what happens to my body, it will heal as these wounds will and I will be stronger because of it." I replied. She looked at me. "you're wiser than you seem." she said. "sometimes life throws obstacles in your way and its up to you with what you do with those experiences that make you the person you are today, I've learned a lot from Sang Kyu's battle style and next time I'll act smarter and better than how I did today." I said. "next time?" She's asked. "yes, this was just an assessment, I know better and I will win." I said. "you won't be doing anything until you heal." she said.

At that moment someone burst into the room. I saw roses and a huge teddy bear. "Jiiin!" yelled out Shin. He placed the bear on my bed and the roses on the stand next to me. His smile dropped when he saw my bruised face and body. "Sang Kyu took it way to far, he should have known better than to let anger control him." he said. He lightly touched my face and it throbbed at his touch, he pulled his hand away. "sorry." he said. "are you okay?" he asked. I nodded. "I'm fine, i'll heal no big deal really." I said. He smiled again. "will she be able to come back to our dorm today?" he asked Sooyoung noona.

She shook her head. "she needs to stay one more day for observation." she said. "well then I guess I'm staying here for today." said Shin. Today his smiley attitude didn't really bother me, it was more of a comfort than an annoyance. "hey, hey Jin look." said Shin. He pulled his eyes across widely until he couldn't see. "look! I'm Sang Kyu!" he exclaimed. I had to admit it was funny. I laughed out loud and smiled even though it hurt.

He let go and looked at me. "you smiled, this is the first time I've ever seen you smile." he said. "you're funny." I told him. He raised his eyebrows. "ah so you do know how to be nice." he said. I pushed his shoulder lightly. "oh please, I am beyond nice." I said. "riiiiight." he said. He kept smiling. The door opened again and in came Chung-Ho. "Chung-Ho!" said Shin. "glad you can make it to the party." Chung-Ho remained silent. "talkative as ever I see." said Shin. Chung-Ho took a seat next to me. "are you alright?" he asked. "I'm fine." I said.

"Good, you need rest." he said. He took something out of his pocket, I looked and it was a small charm of flower. "I wasn't sure what to give you and I saw this in a store." he said. "yeppeuda." I said. "But why are you here, you barely know me." I asked. He blushed slightly. "you're my classmate, I would have to be heartless not to care." he said. "alright, everyone out! She needs sleep and she's not going to get it if you two are in here." said Sooyoung noona and she came in the room. Shin looked sad to leave. "noona, I'll be back later, araesso?" he said. "hyung, I would prefer if you used hyung." I said. He nodded. "areasso,....hyung." he said. after they left Sooyoung noona turned to me. "you have good friends, be sure not to lose them." said Sooyoung noona. "yeah you're right." I said. With a smile on my face I fell asleep.
