But W Continues...

Chapter 12: The start of an investigation

Yeon Na's POV

My eyes fluttered open. I was staring up at a ceiling that was unfamiliar. My blinks were slow as I looked around the room. This was not my room. I had no idea where I was. When I look down to my right, I saw Jae Sang rummaging through my bag. What the heck was he doing? Why was he rummaging through my bag when I was unconscious?

He stopped seeming as though he had found what he was looking for. Baam! It hit me, the tightness I felt around my wrist worsen. That was probably why he was searching through my bag, for my syringe. That must also mean that this is probably his house.

"You're awake." Jae Sang sighed in relief as he was about to inject. "You should really take care of yourself. I don't think it's smart to be sick when you have this condition." I felt very guilty at that moment. I did not really trust him and kind of suspected, as if he didn't already prove his trust to me and he was clearly worried sick about me.

I thought of speaking but my throat felt dry and so did my lips. Then I felt the prickly feeling of a needle piercing my skin. Then, I felt a cold cloth resting on my forehead.

"You should rest. Don't worry about anything. I've asked Hye Rin to tell your parents that you are at her place." he explained. "You can stay over if you like."

Then, I gave in to my heavy eyelids which was my reply.

When I woke up again, I did not feel as weak but just really cold and sick. I got up from the bed causing the wet cloth on my forehead to drop. I looked beside now to see that Jae Sang is sitting beside his bed, sleeping with his head resting his crossed arms which were on the bed. On the bedside table is just a bucket of water with some cloth in it. I looked at the clock and realised how it was already late evening.

I admired him till I realised how he was moving his head roughly a lot and that he was really sweaty. I looked at his face and his brows were furrowed and I could hear him panting, it seemed like he was having a nightmare. Then, I cupped his face and calling out for him, trying to wake him up. When he did, he shot up shouting. He was breathing heavily with his eyes opened wide open. He looked at me for a second, gulped before pulling me into a hug. "Can we just stay like this for a moment? I need to calm down." Jae Sang asked tightening his grip around me.

He hugged me tightly burying his face on my shoulder. I rested my chin on his shoulder as my eyes wondered around awkwardly and while I caressed his back .  He then got up making me stare up at him confused. He got on the bed, hugged me and laid both of us on the bed, him still hugging me close. This time his chin was on the top of my head. He words made me flustered. I never knew I could have an effect on someone like that. Then, my eyes landed on a photo of Jae Sang and his father far on a shelf.

When I felt Jae Sang relax, I got up to the shelf and took the photo. "This is you and your dad right?"

He nodded casually. "Wait he doesn't mind that I'm over?" I asked surprised.

"My father is overseas for a business trip now. Anyway he hardly ever is around especially after my mother's death. He blames it on the doctor who treated her." He explains. I go back over to him and sit beside him patting his back.

"What were you dreaming about?" I asked softly touching the side of his arm. He sighed before explaining about how he dreamed about the day he lost his mum. It was how anyone could imagine, he was young when it happened. It was unexpected and devastating. He had to act strong for his two younger siblings, Jae Rin and Jae Hwa. He blamed his dad for everything and he regretted the time he took for granted.

As he released everything off his chest, I placed my head on his shoulder, listening attentively. Afterwards, we decided to go to sleep, this time, he rolled out the mattress under his bed and slept there while I slept on his bed. He insisted that I did so, so I did, laying on my side watching him fast asleep. Who would have thought that after a year, I would dare to like someone again. I am not blind. I know that everyone in school finds me cold and do know dare approach me. I know many feel like I am very different from before. I used to be miss bubbly, miss carefree and miss friendly but after Seo Jun cheated on me with my ex-bestfriend, I felt extremely humiliated and betrayed. I remember about all the problems I tried to ignore and now I remind myself about them to make sure I can think and make decisions clearly. Here I am now, admiring the boy who messed with my rules but I carrying on letting him do so. Choi Jae Sang, what are you doing to me?
