Fate (EXO Fan Fiction)

CHAPTER 18

AUTHOR'S POV

The door slid open and there stood Lay, smiling sheepishly.

"Mianhae, I forgot my phone here." He walked in and grabbed his phone that was lying on the couch.

"Have a good rest, all of you. By the way, there are two sets of pillow and blanket for your overnight stay here." Lay pointed at the cupboard near the couch.

Both ChanYeol and HyoRi nodded and thanked him as he exited the ward.

"Alright, sleep tight dongsaeng~" HyoRi told you as she pulled out the pillows and blankets. You just nodded with a smile.

"You can take the couch, I'll just sleep on the floor." ChanYeol volunteered as he places his pillow on the floor.

You felt guilty. Both HyoRi and ChanYeol had to sleep at a uncomfortable environment just because of you.

"Sorry." You uttered softly. Despite your barely audible voice, they managed to catch what you utter.

"For?" They both of them chorus.

"Both of you have to sleep at a uncomfortable environment because of me, I know all of you are not used with sleeping at this kind of place." You explained, while fidgeting with your fingers.

HyoRi flashed you a warm smile and went over to you and ruffled your hair. "Dongsaeng-ah, for you, I'll do everything it takes. It sounds ridiculous as I only met you for not long but I meant what I said earlier."

You looked at her, your lips curving into a genuine smile that you only showed to your family.

"Thank you."

ChanYeol just grinned at the strong bond of friendship both of you have.

~~~~~

HyoRi and ChanYeol went to school after changing into a clean set of uniform, leaving you alone in the ward. You opened your bag to find most of your textbooks weren't in there.

"They must be in my locker, " You frowned as you realised you can't do much self study. You pulled out your Mathematics textbook and your notebook, along with a pencil and eraser and started working out the questions.

"Make both the equations the same by multiplying by 8, then substitute into y." You muttered while working on them.

You were already on the sixteenth question when a knock on the door surprised you.

"N-Ne?" You stuttered, gripping tight on your pencil.

The door slid and your parents were standing at the door.

"Mum! Dad!" You smiled, relief rushed through your system.

"Sam-ah," Your mum cooed gently as she stepped in the ward with your father holding a basket of fruits.

"What happened to you?" Your father asked, worried as he set the basket on the table.

"I fell down the stairs when I was going back to classroom to get my phone to contact mum about my first exam paper," You lied. You didn't want them to know that you're in the hospital because of ChoiMin and her gang, they will worry about me, and you don't want them to worry about such a small matter

"Then what about your cheeks?" Your father pointed.

You froze, you don't have any excuses to give about that injury. "I-I w-was cut by s-some metal object when I was falling down." You secretly hoped that they would buy your excuse and stop asking about it.

"Tsk, how clumsy as always. See? You're in the hospital because of your clumsiness. " He sighed. You mentally heaved a sigh of relief and forced a smile back at the both of them. You felt guilty for lying at them but you had no choice.
