Yumi's POV
I tenderly caress her hair.
Inyeong's sleeping state makes her look cuter than usual. Not saying she is not naturally adorable; cute in a way that can make someone want to always take care of her. To keep her safe from harm, ensuring her well-being and stuff.
It is sad to think that this cute person is in deep hurt, though. Terrified, frightened, afraid. Just like a kid without its parents.
Sure, her parents were keeping an eye on her for hours each day in the hospital. Sure, they know bits of the causes of her situation. They did made great efforts to get Inyeong to safety after unlocking her room. Mr. and Mrs. Hwang are aware of the happenings. But the thing is, not all details were true.
Ugh..! It is so frustrating to think about her decisions. I can't get the whole thought. This is enough for a reason to cancel th engagement. As a matter of fact, it is over the line. Why in the world would she refuse to say anything regarding it to any of her parents or even to her sibling? I refuse to trust her this time. "It would end chaotic" she says? Nuh ugh! No one can make me fall for that transparent lie. There has to be a stronger reason..! One day, I will unravel that truth behind that excuse.
I will allow her to continue pretending. For now, that is.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Hmm? A visitor?
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Three more knocks followed.
"Just a minute!" I cried out. Who could this early visitor be?
My feet take me outside Inyeong's bedroom and in front of the entrance.
I twist the doorknob to open the door. "Oh?" there was a hint of surprise in my voice. "Donghaeyah. You're early today. What's up?"
"Well," I notice his eyes are not meeting mine. He changes his look from place to place. Is it just my imagination or is Donghae anxious right now?
A sigh comes out from Donghae's side. "Tell her why already," my, that masculine voice sounds familiar to me. I remember hearing it before. But who was the speaker again?
The blood within me begins to boil as soon as the answer to my question was showed. I try to hold it in with my hands clench in fists. "Why is that bastard here? What do you want now?"
Yesung does not answer my question. He shoots sharp stares at my direction.
It's hard for me to read through his facial expression. What's with this rascal?
"Now now, why don't we have a short talk?" Donghae said to me. "And they can have their own chat too."
"Ah... I see. So that's what you want," I said with a taunting voice. "Well sorry boys but I'm not allowing it. Especially when this fellow is involved. I can't trust you with my best friend!"
"Do you think I need your permission to speak with my fiancee?" There he goes with that cold voice of his. "Last time I checked, I had no permission from you during those times Inyeong and I talked."
Alright, that's it! I will not tolerate this arrogant person any longer!
"Just what exactly do you want from here?!"
"Does anyone remember that we're in a place with people having their units close?" Donghae warned us. "Lower your voices, will you?"
"Don't change the topic Donghae!" I snarled at him.
Yesung takes the moment to shove me aside and infiltrate the apartment.
"Yah! You're not–!"
"Give them some time, please?" I feel my wrist caught in his hand.
