Ella moved the video back to the beginning then pressed play. A soulful music filled the room. There was a man singing and dancing in a red glow, his moves smooth and sensual. The beat was enchanting, the scenery made by lights like right before becoming intimate. The man was wearing tight black jeans to a white barely buttoned up shirt, his hair brown-red, a little curled up. Ella was sitting there watching that beautiful man untying the last buttons of his shirt while dancing like a hurricane of seduction till the crackling door cut that strange state. She looked up in see Donghyuck coming in. He walked straight towards her glanced at the phone puzzled.

"What are you watching Miss Ella?"

"I... I don't know, a student was watching it under the table half of the lesson and I wanted to find out what's so interesting about it," she glanced back at the screen to see the man was now shirtless, still dancing in some fiery embers his moves even sexier.

"The song is called Fury Oblivion, typical Icy Love's title, don't ask me what it means," Donghyuck raised his brow. "It's Jaehyun's solo project."

"Who?" asked Ella stopping the video, as yes, the guy was nearly stripping on screen, it was dangerous to watch.

"My bandmate Jaehyun, the drummer," Donghyuck grinned.

"That's your bandmate?" asked Ella puzzled.

"Yes, I know they are all hot and sexy and I'm just the chubby potato who's doing whoever knows what with those guys," Donghyuck shook his head miserably.

"You're very talented and a great guy," Ella smiled to him.

"Yes, I'm only handsome for people like Mark," Donghyuck rolled his eyes.

"Is Mark so bad?" asked Ella laughing.

"Nah he's just... I don't know," the boy shrugged.

"Your biggest fan," Ella smiled remembering how Mark was talking about Donghyuck for two hours straight when he was in her house.

"Yep, my biggest fan," Donghyuck started to giggle. "That guy is so crazy, I'm wing for the day when he will start to sell the used napkins from my lunch tray. Anyway, Sicheng told me to bring you this," he put a bag on her desk.

"What's this?" she asked.

"I guess second breakfast," Donghyuck smiled. "Ok, break is almost over so I have to go and don't stare for too long, Jaehyun is like Yuta a player," Donghyuck turned around running to the door.

"Come on, I'm not the type of girl for hopeless celebrity crushes, never was," Ella placed the phone back.

"That's good," Donghyuck smiled to her then left the room, she glanced at the clock above the board to discover she was five minutes late for her next class.




The afternoon sun filled the long corridor in front of the patient's room. Ella had gotten used to that place by now. Doyoung stopped next to the line of chairs when she walked to room number 502. 

"Miss, he's not her anymore," a nurse that knew her hurried her way.

"What do you mean?" asked Ella stopping.

"He left the hospital today on his own wish, said he's good enough," the lady seemed troubled.

"What?" Ella felt her insides twisting.

Doyoung ran to her becoming all pale.

"He's definitely home, I'll take you there," he muttered.

"Thank you," Ella lowered her head turning from the lady.

What was Taeil thinking, leaving on his own wish. She was so worried, she couldn't focus on anything all the way back from the city to Rose Valley. She stormed the small wooden house an hour later to see Taeil sitting at the kitchen table deep in his thoughts. The cut on his forehead was nearly held by now, it was starting to build a long white scar. His face was very pale, he had lost weight and seemed tired, but stable when he turned her way.

"Taeil why are you here?" asked Ella running to him.

She heard Doyoung starting the car outside, driving off.

"I'm fine," said Taeil blankly.

"Has the doctor said that to you?" she fell on a chair opposite to him.

"He said there's no life threat anymore. He told me to be carful, not to work too much, but I don't have any work so yes..." Taeil looked away from her.

"Taeil we will manage," she begged.

"I think you should go back to your father's house," whispered Taeil not looking at her.

She felt liked slapped.

"What are you talking about?" she asked, her voice trembling. "I... I'm working so much for you and you just come here to tell me to go back to my father! I don't want to live with my parents ever again!" she raised her voice.

"Ok, so you can stay here for the two remaining weeks."

"What?" she wasn't believing the things she was hearing. "Taeil what's up with you?"

"What's up with me Ella? Looks at me! I'm ruined! I'm no one! I'm not a man who can give you any future!" he clenched his fists.

"It's a difficult time, but we can manage. I can take more tutoring classes after my lectures in the city during weekends to make more money. I can also ask the principal for additional hours at school. If it will not be enough, I'll ask Doyoung to find me part time job in his father's company down the harbor."

Yes she had been thinking about all the options for the last three weeks.

"We can also sell the pickup or the lake hous..."

"I'm not going to sell my grandfather's property! Not until it will be that or starving!" Taeil looked at her, his face very red.

"It's just some months until you get better, than you can take tourists down the lake again and I can work over-shifts for this time, no problem, we will manage," she stretched her hand out to touch his palm, but he moved hie hands under the table. "Taeil, why are you hurting me like that?" she asked in shock.

"I've heard you've got an offer," he said in the same stubborn angry way.

"I've heard you've got an offer," he said in the same stubborn angry way
