"Mal" the door burst open.
I jumped and nearly fell off the bed. "What. What."
"They found my house." Zhay yelled. His face had scrapes cuts and bruises. His shirt was tathered. He was a total mess.
"Zhay" I gasped and hopped to him. I wiped some of the blood from his face.
"I didn't say stand up." He calmed down and pulled my arm away. He helped me back to the bed where a shocked and confused Hawn layed.
I sat back down. "Tell me what happened."
Zhay started pacing in front of the bed. "I was upstairs making breakfast and my phone lit up saying something was in my yard. It always went off around that time so i ignored it. A while later i heard my door click. I went to the stairs and someone pulled me down. I fell all the way down and he started hitting me. I eventually hit him back and got my gun. When i went outside there was more. They were chis people. Over 20 of them. I eventually killed them but my house..." he continued pacing as he covered his face.
I stood up and let him crash into me. I pulled him into a hug "Ill fix this. I just need 2 weeks. Just 2 weeks." I said.
"Why is this so hard hyung" he cried.
"Im sorry" is all i could say. I felt so bad. I was the reason he was in this situation. I was always the one who made him upset. "Its my fault and im sorry. I can fix this."
"Its not. Its mine. This is my choice its just hard" he said.
He helped me back onto the bed. "What are you going to do." I asked.
He shrugged. "I have no where to go."
"I can buy you a house." I suggested. Zhay laughed.
"No. I can do that myslef silly." He gently shoved me.
"You can stay here." I stated and patted the bed.
He sat down and looked at me. "Thats temporary. Very temporary"
"I have an idea." Hawn kept gently poking my back.
I grabbed her hand. "Yes"
She laughed when she couldn't pull her hand away. "The house. Your house. He can stay in your house. As long as nescaary"
I hit my forehead. "Why didn't i think of that"
"Wait now the important stuff" Hawn said.
I let her hand go.
"Yes." Zhay questioned
"I haven't eaten I'm Hungry" she smiled at her 'serious question'
I stood up and hopped towards the door. "I. Will. Get. It." I said between hops.
Both Hawn and Zhay laughed. "Not you. A nurse or...zhay" Hawn stated.
Zhay helped me back to the bed. "Ill go get something" he left.
When he came back we ate then talked for a while before falling asleep. I was laying sideways on the bed with my head next to hers. Hawn and Zhay were on the sides but my legs seperated them. The next to weeks passed fairly fast. We had a lot of fun. It was like a work vacation. Zhay stopped by in his free time and gave us snacks and Hawn could move better.
"Here you go" zhay said to the nurse as he handed her the release form.
I wheeled hawn out of the hospital and Zhay followed.
"Zhay carry that." I picked hawn up from the wheel chair.
"Hey" hawn objected.
Zhay grabbed the wheelchair "why"
