Boys Over Flowers (Herophine fanfiction)

Chapter 23🌹

Hero

"Hero!! Stop!!!!!!"

Her voice barely echoes in my unclear head. My vision is more than blurry and my breathing is dangerously fast.
I try to get off her but my body won't move as I order ,and just keeps leaning forward instead. It's like my body became numb.
I don't feel well.
The moment I admit it to myself, I completely collapse onto her without an intention.

"W...what are you doing????"
She slaps me a couple of times, finally finding something is wrong. More specifically, something is wrong with me.
"Hey. Are you alright?"
Now her voice is full of worries, which pleases me a bit though it only sounds like a whisper to me right now.
I feel her small hand touches my forehead.
"Oh my god, Hero! You have such a high fever!!"
She quickly removes her soft hand and manages to flip me off her. My back helplessly hits the cold floor. I'm sure it's not hygienic yet I have no energy to complain about it anymore.

While I weakly lying next to her who's sitting up, I see a vague figure of her digging her purse to find something. She stops her movement and pull out a rectangle box. Looks to be a package of pills.
"This is for menstrual pains but I think it'll work."
She tells more like to herself than to me.

Then, she lifts my head and places it on her lap. Her thighs are soft and very comfortable. If I weren't this sick, I would have had a nosebleed now.
"Open your mouth."
She commands.
"Fuck no! I won't take a medication unless it's  compounded by my doctor and..."
"Shut up and do as I say, damn ass!!"
My protest is cut off by her, and I reluctantly surrender. She puts a pill into my mouth and makes me drink water she had in her bag. All the time I swallow the pill with water, her soft arm has supported my head and I desperately long if we could freeze in this position forever. Shit. I'm wasted because of this fever. Or maybe only because of her. Who can tell?

Not placing my head back to the floor, she takes off her ridiculous fluffy scarf and wraps it around my neck.
"I think somebody will come rescue us tomorrow morning. So hang in there."
She says.
"Are... aren't you cold?"
Shaky voice of mine sounds. The last thing I want is for her to get a cold. Despite my concern, she proudly states,
"Being poor isn't always bad because it makes us stronger both physically and mentally, sonny."

Honestly, I'm shocked by her generosity. After all those shits I did to her, how come she nurses me like this? Her kindness just overwhelms my being.
"Sorry about that."
Before I realize I blurt out.
"What?"
She tilts her head.
"Sorry for how I treated you. And I promise I'll take down the red notice."
Her eyes are almost dropping from their sockets but I mean it. I don't want to hurt her anymore. So I continue,
"Please, forgive me."
I know I sound like a pathetic bitch but what else can I do? I love her! ... wait WHAT!?!?!?

She, in response, scoffs in annoyance.
"Are you kidding me? Do you really think I can forgive you that easily?"
She's right. What I did was unforgivable. But I miserably need her to forgive me.
"I know it's not easy. But at least try to understand that I'm truly sorry, would you?"
Her confusion is plastered on her beautiful face. She doesn't agree to my proposal but doesn't refuse either. She just quietly sits under by head and stares at me as if I was an unknown creature.

A long silence passes, and she finally opens her mouth.
"Why are you so nice today?"
There is an evident doubt in her voice.
"What do you mean?"
"You're always so cruel to me like torturing me is your pleasure."
She pouts, which is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life. A big smile takes over my face in a second.
"What's so funny?"
I can tell she's angry but her face is too adorable not to merrily laugh at. Once my laughter ends I utter,
"Maybe that's because I'm fucking ill today."
She rolls her eyes in defeat but I don't miss the small smile appeared at the corner of her lips for a brief moment.

After another silence, I ask her,
"Hey, will you do me a favor?"
She seems to be surprised by my sudden request but I carry on,
"Will you sing for me something?"
"What!? I will not do that!"
She says with finality. I thought so, Langford. I smirk at her, having a strategy in my mind.
"Well, whose fault was it that I was made to wait in the pouring rain for 3 hours and to catch a cold like this again?"
I remind her of her guilt, which works in the end. What? I'll whatever to get what I want.
"What the hell?? Ok, fine. I'll sing for you."
Yes!!!
Inhaling deeply, she begins,

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you

Wow. I mean... Wow. Words are not enough to describe how amazing her voice is. It just sinks into my soul and cleanses every evil there.
She's the angel and I'm the demon. But if I can be with her, I could be better somehow. She convinces me so.

I was blankly drowning in her beautiful blue-gray ocean when she sarcastically smiled,
"What? Are you satisfied?"
More than satisfied. I'm impressed.
These are what I think in my mind. But I'm such a twisted bastard, you know? So the words which leaves my fucked-up mouth are completely different.
"It was ok I guess."
You're stupid, Hero.
"Ok? Really? Thank you for your complement then!!"
She spits so with venom and quickly sneaks out of underneath my head. I feel the cold floor below my head now. Shit!
"But I like your voice, Langford."
I add to make it up for my shitty comment earlier if not much.
"Go to sleep, Hero."
She orders in a stern voice but I'm sure there is less hatred there, which relieves me a lot. I don't show it though.

"Good night."
For the first time in a decade, I utter these words to someone. Wow. She really makes me do things I usually never do.

There was no response till my eyelids gives up to stay open after all. However, I'm sure I heard her whisper "Good night, Hero." the very moment I fell into my dream.

Thank you for reading!
Do you like the song Josephine sang for Hero? It's 'Can't Help Falling In Love' by Elvis Presley. Please remember this song because it might appear again later 👀😏
