Love is more than a number ❤️ Donghae (SuperJunior x reader) Complete

7

I really thought my life was over the second I saw the red substance from my abdomen.
It all went by so fast that I didn't get a chance to actually process what had happened.

If Donghae hadn't been there, I can't even imagine what could have happened to me. I felt lucky at this moment that he had stayed there, even though I originally didn't want him there in the first place. 

Why did this happen to me? We couldn't possibly afford the hospital bill. What were we supposed to do now? Become beggars? Sell the shop and live on the street? Could it get any worse than this? 

"How are you feeling right now?" Donghae brought me back to reality, resting a hand on my shoulder. "I suppose I'm okay. My stomach is sore, but otherwise, I feel normal." I commented, like someone who had just played a soccer match and was interviewed afterward. 

"That's good. Do you know how scared I was? Seriously, I thought I'd cry myself to death. It was probably the scariest thing I've ever experienced. I'm just happy that you're okay." His hand was holding mine again, as he looked at me with still worried eyes. 

I smiled at him. It was nice that he cared so much about me already. We hadn't even known each other for that long. He was way too nice to me. But it was heartwarming to have someone around who showed that amount of care. 

"I'm just glad that it wasn't worse and that you're here now. Thank you so much, I don't know what would have happened without you." 

He smiled brightly at me nodding in agreement. The more I looked at him the more I could feel my stomach turning and doing flips. Butterflies were all over down there. Did I really like him? The butterflies in stomach surely confirmed it. 

It was such a strange feeling but at the same time, it was nice to like someone. Someone like him. A sweet, loving and caring guy. Did he only see me as a younger sister? Because of the age gap? At this point I just couldn't care, as long as I was around him, that was enough for me. 

"Thanks for staying. Shouldn't you be working though? Aren't you busy?" 

He must be really busy, it's not every day that someone like him gets a day off. 

"I talked to my manager and the members"-he cleared his throat and straightened his black shirt-"They know where I am and said it was okay as long as I come straight over to the recording studio afterward."

"Ahh..." 

There was an abrupt silence after that. My mind kept drifting to what he had said. That means his members and manager knows about me. But what had he said? How had he referred to me? Everything made me so curious making my head spin multiple times. 

Then I remembered that I had school. What was the time even? What should I do? "Donghae?"

"Mhmm?"

"What's the time?" I asked trying to sit up halfway. 

"It's almost 10 am. Why?" 

"I need to go to school. I can't miss it. I haven't ever missed a day of school." I began taking off the covers, continuing to a full position of sitting up, when a sharp pain shot through my stomach. 

"Ouch!" I burst out and fell back down on the bed again. 

"Be careful!" Donghae stood up and helped me lay down properly, tucking the covers back around me. 

"You can't mean that you want to go to school like this, can you?" 

"I guess not... But what do I do then?" I looked at him as if he would be able to answer anything I asked him.
