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

9

Thank you for so many reads!!

"Good morning miss, did you sleep well?" The nurse from yesterday greeted as she came into the room.

I was only just waking up from a long night's sleep, which had me quite refreshed for some reason.

Or maybe it was the painkillers I took before bed.
"Good morning. Yes I slept quite well thank you."
I said as I tried to sit up in the bed without putting any strain on my stomach.

"Good. Here let me help you." She came to my bed and straightened the pillow for me, before helping me sit in a position that wasn't uncomfortable.

"Thank you."

"No problem, that's what I'm here for. You must be hungry... I'll go get you your breakfast." She sauntered out of the room after quickly checking my vitals on the monitor.

The nurse provided me my breakfast and I happily ate the rice porridge, every last bit of it, like I had been starving for a week.

Eun Jae then came by with a few books of mine for me to read and also brought some school books so that I could study, before she went to school.

I began the day in bed, by continuing the book which was a play, written by the great William Shakespeare.

I wasn't much of a sucker for love stories, but when it came to Romeo and Juliet's love story I had quite the soft spot.

The book was given to me by mom when I was younger. She told me to read it carefully and think about the message the story contained.

Since then I've probably read it about 200 times. It became my favorite book and a special memory to me after mom passed.

If I could love anyone as much as Romeo and Juliet did, I wouldn't want anything else in this world.

Of course without killing myself that is. That would be too messy.

I wonder if anyone ever had that kind of love.
It is rare and hard to come across. But who knows... maybe one day it'll happen.

When I decided I had had enough romance for one day, I switched to my school books and began reading while preparing notes for each chapter.

I suddenly realized that my life lacked substance, sitting here not having anything to do made me see, that there was nothing for me if I wasn't busy working or studying.

After a while my phone rang, revealing the caller ID as my boss. My heart pounded faster, the only reason he would be calling someone, was either to fire you or ask why you are late for work.

I knew for a fact that I didn't have work this week because I texted him yesterday explaining what had happened to me.

"Hello?" I almost whispered into the phone. "Hello, Miss Kang. This is not an easy phone call to make, but it is something I must do." His strict business-like voice boomed through my ear and out the other.

"Okay?" I probably sounded really confused.

"I, unfortunately, have to let you go. It's not possible to wait for you to come back to work since we are already short of hands and I have to hire new employees. Seeing the situation you are in, we won't be able to have you here anymore. I apologize. I hope you will get the rest you need and get better soon. Also, because you were one of the better staff, I'm going to give you next month's pay as a farewell gift." That was all he said before hanging up on me.

I sat quietly, staring blankly ahead of me. Was I just born with bad luck? Please, just kick me when I'm already lying on the ground, thanks.

In a fit of rage, I grabbed my school books and hurled them onto the ground, while letting out a pained cry.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Was all I could think.

What kind of sick, twisted joke was life playing on me?

Let's see if y/n can take more bullshit in her life, let's fire her too. Please don't let any joy into her life. That's too dangerous.

If there was to be any more misery in my life, I might finally break like a twig underneath my own feet in the woods.

The possibility of that happening, seemed to me as a very high possibility right now.

"Fuck!" I exclaimed, hiding my face in my hands letting more tears fall. With all the tears I'd cried you would think there were no more left, but sadly there were still more.

"Woah. What's going on here?" My head shot up at the sound of Donghae's pure voice. My heart almost burst at the sight of him. Finally something good.

"Donghae..." I stuck out my bottom lip, more tears pressing on as I looked at him miserably.

"What do I do? What do I do?" I repeated those words over and over, expecting him to have an answer for me.

"Hey..." He quickly walked over to the bed and embraced me in a tight hug. "It's okay."

"No, it's not okay." I sobbed heavily clinging to Donghae like a child.

"What happened?" He asked pulling away from the hug to look at me. "My boss just called. I got fired..."

"What? That idiot. Who would fire such a wonderful girl?" He seemed upset by the information and almost looked as if he wanted to slap someone.

He then gestured for me to move over and so I did. He climbed onto the bed next to me, putting an arm around me to give me comfort.

There was not even a word spoken for the next few minutes. All that could be heard was the quiet noise from my sobs. Sitting like this with Donghae made my body feel like jelly, if I hadn't been lying in this bed, I would have been dropped on the floor.

"Feeling any better?" he asked breaking the silence. "A little," I answered, laying my head on his shoulder.

"Good." What he did next nearly made me go into cardiac arrest; he brought up a hand and gently patted my head. Kind of like you'll see it in those dramas. I was not ready for that. I'm sure my heart actually stopped for a second.

"Thank you..." Was all I could muster up to say to him. It wasn't a lie though, I was truly grateful for all the things he had done for me. Not to mention the hospital bill.
