Remember Me || [BTOB Ilhoon]

Chapter Seven

Accidents. They are unavoidable but in my case? I encounter them more often than not. 

I am an accident magnet. I hate myself for it. I thought I would be free from that curse but I was wrong. Absolutely wrong.

"Sungjae~ya!!" I immediately turn the steering wheel. He hit the break and the car stopped almost hitting a post.

"Noona!! Gwaenchana???!! Sht. Sht. Sorry. Noona." He asked. My head hit the window but there's no blood.

"Gwaenchana??!" He asked in panic hesitating whether to touch me or not.

"I'm okay Sungjae~ya. Are you?" I asked in return though I feel a little dizzy. My heart is beating rapidly. I quickly grab my medicine and swallowed it. He noticed it but just ignored it.

"I'm fine. What happened? Why did you turn the steering wheel? We're lucky we didn't bump into that post." He pointed the post that we almost hit.

"You almost hit a lady." I said and look over to the direction where we almost hit someone. The lady was just standing there also in shock of what happened.

"We need to go to the hospital just in case." I ignored him and get off the car to check the lady. He followed me and wear his mask again.

"Gwaenchana??" I asked and check if she was hurt. She just nods at me. Sungjae talked to her since my Hangeul skills are not good. Thank God she was fine and didn't recognize Sungjae. We apologized and went back to the car.

"Noona. Seriously. We need to check if you're really okay. You hit your head on my car window. This is my car. And I am the driver. You're my responsibility." He looks so worried. I shook my head.

"I'm fine. Really. Let's just go home." I said and he sighed in defeat.

"Oh. We need to fetch Snow first. Can we stop by at the Starbucks in front of my company building?" I said, remembering I left Snow at Ben's. He just nods and drove off.

-

There were only a few customers when we arrived at Starbucks. I saw Ben at the counter and went to him. Sungjae quietly followed me still wearing the mask and glasses staying low key.

"Ben!" I said as I approach him. His brows knitted while looking at me.

"Yah. Melody. What happened there?? Are you okay??" He asked and touch my forehead. I felt a bruise and blood from where he touched me. Huh?

"Sht." I just said and wipe the blood. Why is there blood now? It's not bleeding earlier. Aish.

Ben assist me in his office and signaled Sungjae to go with us.

"You! What happened?! What did you to her!? Don't you know that she's not stable yet? Huh!? "Ben pushed Sungjae after he applied first aid on my forehead.

"Ben! Stop it!" I said and pull Sungjae away from him.

"Seriously. Melody. What happened?" Ben calmed himself and sat on the couch while Sungjae and I awkwardly stand in front of him. We're like employees being scolded by the boss.

I explained everything to him and he just shook his head.

"I told you to be careful, your hea-" I stop him before he can even reveal my condition.

"I'm okay. I'm not harmed badly. It's just a simple bruise." I said. I look at Sungjae that looks like a tamed puppy.

"Yah. Look at him. He can't even talk. Stop frightening him." I pointed Sungjae and he just smiled awkwardly.

"Tch. Last time you're with that douche- I mean his friend, right? Now you're with him? Seriously Melody, stop being close to them or you'll end up being hurt again." Ben warned me.

"How did you know Ilhoon~ssi was his friend? Omoo. Are you one of their fans?" I joked to lighten the atmosphere though I'm really curious about it.

Ben just stared at me with his poker face. I looked down as he continues his lectures. Psh.

"I'm really sorry Hyung~Ben." Sungjae bowed his head apologizing.

I looked at Ben with an apologetic look. He just sighed in defeat.

"Melody. Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital? Come on. We still need to check if you're really alright." Ben touched my forehead.

"Noona. Hyung is right. Kaja." Sungjae agreed but Ben just glared at him. Sungjae bowed his head again.

"No. I'm really fine. I don't feel anything. I'm here to take Snow now by the way." I went to Snow and put her inside the catio.

"Alright. Fine. Hey kid. This better not happened again or else you will be dead. Arasso?" He pats Sungjae's shoulder twice then left the room.

Sungjae suddenly collapsed on the floor. "Noonaaaa. He's scary." He said and I laughed.

"Just ignore him. Let's go." We left Starbucks and got into the car.

"Noona. Where do you live?" He asked before starting the car.

"Blue Prism Apartment Building." I said and he looked so shocked.

"Omoo. We also live there!" He exclaimed in surprise.

"Really?!?" I asked and look at him probably looking as shocked as he is. We just laughed as he drove to the apartment building.

It was already 6:00 p.m when we reached the apartment building's parking lot. We get off the car and opened the back door of his car.

"Noona. We bought a lot of things today. Otteoke? We can't handle all of this." He pointed out and scratch his head.

"Right. Ahm." I scratch my head as well. It will be really tiring if we go down back and forth.

"Oh. I'll just call my Hyungs." He said as he immediately called someone on his phone.

"Hyuuung. I'm here in the parking lot. Can you help with the groceries? Heehee. Yah! I also bought what you want. Aish. Arasso. Byeeii. "He ended the call and looked at me.

"They're coming. Let's just wait for them while we arrange this." He smiled at me and helped me with the grocery.

"Thank you Sungjae~ssi." I smiled and thanked him again.

"Noona. I am really sorry about the accident earlier. I will be careful next time." He apologized and looked at me with an apologetic face.

"Based on how your cousin warned me, I know there's something you're not telling me. But it's okay if you don't want to tell me, I'm really guilty for what happened." He apologized again as we lean on his car. He looked down and fiddle with his hands.

"Hey. It's fine. You don't have to be sorry. We're alive, not hurt badly and you survived the day without people recognizing you. So no scandals for you. It's just a small bruise. Nothing serious." I elbowed him but he still looked down and frowned.

"Aish. Sungjae~ya. Stop being so down." I said to him getting frustrated.

"Yook Sungjae!" Someone shouted.

Sungjae waved as he walked past me.

I look at the direction where the voice came from and saw four handsome men walking towards us.
