Save Me •Cha Eunwoo•

Chapter 5 - Your Ken

Eunwoo's POV

I walk like a person out of energy. I don't know why but looking at the girl makes me feel weak and scared.

Scared to return the girl to her normal life. Scared she will be back in the same miserable cycle.

"Eunwoo!" A sweet voice calls me from behind.

It's her. Myun Na.

I raise my eyebrows as a signal for her to state her wish. I don't really know how to talk to girls.

"Thank you. For everything."

There it is. The sweet voice again hitting my eardrums. I blink my eyes a few times, forcing myself back to reality.

She tries to walk towards me while holding onto the pale hospital wall. But her sad smile never fades away. Still stuck every moment, every minute of the day.

The ache tortures the inner me. The hurtful feelings knowing that the smile is not meant to be sincere or comforting.

Myun Na is walking carefully and I noticed her waist twisting as she walks limply.

I couldn't bare looking at her walking with all her might so I run with small steps yet fast to help her before this poor girl makes contact with the floor.

My left hand quickly hovered her torso, supporting her weak petite body from the risk of falling. I take a full grasp on her waist, not wanting her to slip away.

Myun Na doesn't say anything or showing any expressions. The face is still the same, emotionless. I made the conclusion maybe she is still experiencing pain from the wounds.

"Kumopta. You are so kind."

Her small pinkish lips again slips out some appreciations not forgetting some compliments for me.

She looks up to me and now our face is only a few inches away.

Myun Na smiles awkwardly while holding back onto my waist. I am devastated by how she is responding to my help but I couldn't say anything about it. Not because I don't have any concern, it's because I am letting her fits into the situation

"Walk carefully. No one is going after you at all." I command her to watch her steps while my arm tighten the grasp as she takes her first step.

"By the way, where are you going? Coming out from your room while you are still healing?"

My words sound like I am scolding her but I don't have the heart to. I am just worried her wounds will get worst.

She didn't reply. Her face stays down, facing her steps on the floor surface. Her hair covered her face so I am not really sure what is she doing.

I sigh lightly, feeling devastated as she still keep the contact limit between us. I loosen my grab on her waist, because my instinct says she stays silent because of this 'uncomfortable way' to show my concern.

Out of the blue, I was pulled by the might of Kim Myun Na as she pulls my waist, turning towards the nurse counter.

I was stunned by the way she is holding me so tight and pulls me with all her might just to make sure I am following her steps.

As we reach the counter, she lets go the grab onto my waist and walks on her own towards the counter. I feel like my heart skipped a beat as she trips on her foot but stabilize herself right back.

"Excuse me, when will I get discharged?"

The sound of desperation fills up her voice as she talks to the nurse impatiently.

I retreat a few steps and let her conversation with the nurse be a little private. After all, I am not interested of what they are arguing about.

I walk a few metres away from the counter, but nearing the seats there.
As I sit, I realize the hospital is kinda busy today because for days that I have been wandering around the hospital, it's even hard to find anyone walking on the same way or else.

Then, my eyes are glued to a little girl wearing small pink gown and in her arms, a blue bear doll stays safe, surrounded safely by her hand which has a IV needle.

The little girl's feature is so angelic. It's like her face was carved by a goddess. Big hazel eyes, black long hair and her fair skin added the whole feature to just perfect.

Suddenly, two boys playing catching each other are running towards her, I thought the boys will avoid her but no, they run into her.

One of the boys push the girl out of his way and before the girl even trips, I catch her instantly.

She grabs on my colar, while I grab on her petite body. I tighten my grasp on her as I can feel how vulnerable this precious angel is.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to fall on you.". The candy like voice slips out from her mouth.

I help to stand properly while my other hand picks up her bear which is on the floor.

"Gwaenchana? Did the boys hurt you?" I ask her with concern.

The little girl shakes her head lightly and I can see she is avoiding my eye contact. Probably embarrassed of what just happened.

Her denial of being in hurted is such a lie because the way she squats, rubbing her left ankle up and down. Maybe she sprained her ankle just now.

"Come here , let me check if you're hurt."

I offered while forming a smile to make her knows that I am not gonna do anything bad. I just want to check if the boy has hurted her ankle.

I hand out my right hand and without hesitation, she puts her soft right palm on mine. For a moment, I get scared that I might hurt her soft baby skin.

She walks with hardships because her left ankle was the reason she walks limply towards me. I help her to get on my lap and I smile lightly as her petite body weighs like feather.

"What's your name, sweetie?"

I ask her while cracking a sweet smile just to comfort her. She returned a smile that is to die for and clears her throat.

"My name is Lalisa. You can call me Lisa."

L

isa forms an eye smile and her tongue sticks out, revealing her cuteness which is the glimpse of the innocent angel.

I massage her ankle and Lisa's body twitch because of the stinging pain. I soften my massage, worrying it can be worst.

"Oppa. Why your face look like my barbie's spouse, Ken?

I raise my eyebrows, holding my laugh not to offense her and I clear my throat before answering her.

"Have you lost your Ken? Because if you want one, just take my friend home and ship him with your barbie."

Myun Na giggles to show her satisfaction by teasing me. I smile looking at her walking like a limp person but still managed to pull a trick on me.

Who are you inside , Myun Na? My heart is eager to dig the true personality of yours. My heart can't stand looking at the way she smiles.

I think I am falling for her. No, I already did.
