NEW PLACES
Guilt. It ran through Akina's body as the two sat on the hospital bed in silence. One aspect came for the scene that kept playing through her head with his presence near her. How he falls in agony; how her emotions could cause someone such pain made her heartache from guilt.
On the other side, her mind was racing from the incident. How did she not know that she was the suspect? Akina was blindsided by the fact. She saw Nurse Lee every day; how did she not pick on it?
"How are you feeling?" His voice rings through the room knocking Akina out of her thoughts. Looking up she processes the question contemplating if she should tell him her thoughts. "Physically I'm fine, are you okay?" She responds twiddling her fingers.
"Yeah I'm okay," Jungwoo mumbled feeling the guilt that Akina was going through. The two were connected in everything but the only way they could get close is with time.
A knock at the door breaks the silence that was in the room. Walking in were the three boys. "Hello hello hello, we brought food for you two," Yuta sings to the two.
A laugh comes out of Akina's mouth as the other three roll their eyes sarcastically at his nonsense. Taeyong puts the bags of food on the table beside them and everyone begins to dig in.
"So, Jungwoo when you both are okay with it I need you to write a statement." He said looking at the two. "Yeah okay, I will."
It was quiet in the room and it was making Akina nervous. They all had something to say to her but instead, they were keeping quiet. It bothered her; and of course, Jungwoo could feel all of this. But for once he didn't know how to ease the awkwardness.
As the other boys left the two were also discharged. They walked to the pediatric wing together so Akina could grab her stuff. She went in quickly and got everything she had there. As they began to take the elevator down to the main floor many questions still needed to be answered.
"So uh...uh we have to stay together for a while until the bonding is completed," Akina said in the elevator that conveniently they were the only two in it. "Oh yeah we do," He responded rubbing the back of his neck.
As he responded images of her messy apartment infiltrated her head and pink rose to her cheeks from the embarrassment. She didn't want him to see the messiness of her life. Not this soon.
"We can uh... stay at mine. It's close to both of our jobs and there are two bedrooms." He said as he led the way to his car. She mumbled an 'okay' and once they got the car she awed at it for a second. It was black and clean making it look richer even if it wasn't.
As she gawked at jealous for a moment that she was car-less he opened the passenger seat for her. "It's a nice car," complimenting his taste and a smile reached his lips and he got in on the driver's seat.
When he turned on the car soft music started playing. He exited the parking lot and asked, "Where do you live?" She answered quickly giving her address to him. As he drove Akina couldn't help but study his face.
Her eyes lingered, first looking at his messy hair from today's events. Almost tracing his features with her eyes she was entranced by his beauty. He was glowing, a warm gold around him and she didn't know if it was the soulmate bond. But she liked looking at him.
Jungwoo knew she was staring at him, he could feel her eyes. He wanted to smile at the cute gesture but instead kept a straight face as he continued the journey to her house.
Once they were there she got out of her car and he followed her. He scanned the area and smiled internally at how cozy the area was. It felt homey.
Truthfully she was just throwing random things into her suitcase not thinking of what she needed. Her cat was roaming around at her feet which were distracted Akina even more. When they walked into her apartment earlier she made him stay in the living room because it was the cleanest.
Walking out of her room rolling her suitcase along with her, seeing Jungwoo looking around the small living room. He didn't notice her until she grabbed her keys off the table making him jump and trip slightly.
Coughing through the embarrassment as Akina laughed lightly he said, "You ready to go?"
