Guns And Bloody Roses

Chapter Nine: Hospital.

I woke up groaning with the pain in the back of my head. I opened my eyes to find myself in a with blurry room. The only thing I saw was a blurry figure of a person.

"You're awake!" a voice exclaimed and the warmth that was surrounding my hand tightened. I came into focus and saw Joshua.

"What happened?" I asked trying to sit up but was quickly pushed down lightly.

"You shouldn't try to move yet. You lost a lot of blood." he said. I moved his hands away and hugged him tightly, ignoring the pain on my shoulder.

Joshua seemed to notice the small discomfort  and pulled away.

"I know it sounds crazy since we met a short time ago but i-"

I was cut off by Joshua kissing me. It wasn't like Chanyeols. It was sweet and tender. It made me feel safe and warm. When I melted into it his hands went straight to the sides of my head. His fingers in my hair. He pulled away gently and reopened his eyes softly looking at me.

"I'm sorry I don't know what got into me." he said.

"It's fine. I actually enjoyed it." I said blushing a little.

As he was about to say something the door opened. Hoshi came in with a vase of white roses.

"I finally got some way- oh you're awake! Thank god!" Hoshi said setting the vase down and tangling my fingers in my hair before kissing my forehead.

"We were so worried." he said pulling away.

"How long have I been here? Where's Chanyeol?" I asked.

"Calm down. We'll tell you after you check out. You've been here for 2 days." Hoshi said putting the vase next to a few more that sat on the side table next to the hospital bed. Most of the flowers were colorful and gorgeous. Two vases stood out the most, the vase of white flowers and a huge vase of white Dahlias. My favorite.

"Who are these from?" I ask pointing to them.

"We don't know. There's a card but we didn't open it." Joshua said.

"I wanted to but Mr. Goodwill over here told me not to." Hoshi said handing my the card. I opened it and read it:

Dear Miss Roads,

I am disappointed to hear of your condition as I was very much looking forward to our meeting. I would like to assure you though that I am a very patient man and would like to schedule another meeting soon. I hope you enjoy the flowers as they are as lovely as an Angel like yourself.

Call me at ###-###-####

Yours truly,

Kim Junmyeon.

"So who are they from?" Hoshi asked trying to sneak a peek at the small note in my hand.

"My boss." I said setting the note back in the envelope and setting it next to the vase.

"Oh." Hoshi replied. The awkward silence filled the air until I looked at Joshua and then at Hoshi.

"Hey Hosh, can you get me something to eat? I'm starving." I asked him.

"Yeah I can go grab something." he said before kissing my forehead and walking out.

"So, about that kiss." Joshua started.

"You kissed back." he finished. I looked down at my hands trying to hold back a blush.

"Yeah, I did." I muttered. He smiled at how flustered I was and continued.
