Oh, well harro there new chapter~ ^^

Uki’s POV~

Oh my goodness. I think for the three weeks I’d been in that hellhole with Tony and all his ‘friends’, I’d been subconsciously suppressing all the pain in my body because when I woke up that morning, I couldn’t get out of bed without crying. Donghae immediately woke up when he heard me crying and sat up, looking at me.

“Are you okay?!” he asked worriedly.

“It…Hurts,” I managed to tell him between my tears and attempts to at least sit up in bed.

“Aish, this girl. It’s your first day back and you walk in here looking like a ripened plum. Of course it’s gonna hurt! Now don’t strain yourself, you’re just gonna hurt yourself even more!” He slowly eased me into a sitting position, the blankets bunching around my waist. He took his pillow and put it behind my back, making sure that I was comfortable. “Are you okay?”

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a moment. Then I opened them to look into his worried brown eyes and smiled. I leaned forward despite the protesting screams of my broken and battered body, kissing him on the cheek. “I love you, Donghae,” I told him instead with a smile.

His eyes lit up and he kissed me on the lips. I ignored the pain that shot through my body at the sudden pressure and just savored the moment. I missed him so much<3

When he realized that my lip was busted, he immediately pulled back, a scared look in his wide eyes. “I’m sorry! I keep forgetting that you’re hurt. I’m sorry!”

I laughed at him and kissed the tip of his nose. “Aish, Donghae. I’ve missed you.”

He smiled at me. “It literally seems like an eternity since I’ve heard those words. Uki, please. I’m begging you. Don’t go back there. Look at yourself. You can’t even sit up in bed without crying in pain. How do you expect to survive there? I know for a fact that the moment you step foot back into that building, they will hurt you, and I think your body’s already taken more than it can handle. You’re already broken enough as it is and if you keep treating your body like this, you won’t last much longer. I know you’re a strong girl and I know that you’re stubborn, but you’re only human and your body is restricted in what it can do and handle. Please, I’m begging you. If you want me on my knees to beg, I’ll do it. If you wanna see me cry, I’ll do it.”

I looked at him sadly and wiped away his tears with my index finger. “Donghae, I’m not stupid. I know I’m not invincible. I’m not planning to go back right away. I’m giving myself some healing time first, but I am going back there. I have to. Not just for Alex, but for those other girls, too. I had the chance to escape, but the other girls weren’t so lucky. If I don’t go back, they have no chance.”

He was quiet for a second, staring at the bed. Then he looked up to me. “At least promise me that you’ll come back to me?”

I laced my fingers with his, pulling myself closer to him. I ignored the unbearable pain in my body as I leaned onto his shoulder and he put a comforting arm around me. “Sorry, Donghae, but I always come back. You can’t get rid of me that easily.”

I felt him smile as he kissed the top of my head. “I wouldn’t have it any other way, Uki. I love you.”

Donghae’s POV~

I sat there with Uki in my arms for awhile, staring off into space. Neither one of us said anything, just sat there, quiet in our own thoughts. After about twenty minutes, I felt her breathing slow down and get heavier. I looked at her to see that she’d fallen asleep again. Aish, I loved her<3 I slowly got up and gently laid her down to sleep, heading to the bathroom. I felt so empty inside. I mean, don’t get me wrong! I was absolutely ecstatic that Uki was back! Honest, I was! But don’t you see where I’m coming from? I lost my sister! My baby sister was freaking sold to some disgusting ert somewhere in this goddamn city! Who knows what’s happening to her right now?! She could probably be losing her innocence and no one can do a damned thing about it!

I let out a frustrated scream and punched the wall. I stood like that for a second, breathing hard in the anger coursing through my veins, my fist still against the wall. My mind was numb, but then Alex’s face started swimming around in my mind and I got angry all over again, sending another punch to the wall. Why?! Why, why, why?! Alex never did anything wrong! She didn’t deserve any of this! Why is she not back here with us?! Why?! I looked up through my angry, hot tears to see the gargantuan hole in the wall and got angry again. Deciding to show the poor wall mercy, I turned to look at myself in the mirror. My lips curled in disgust.

It was all your fault.

Youlet this happen. If you were a better older brother, Alex would still be here! If you hadn’t neglected her, Alex would still be here! If you’d paid more attention to her, Alex would still be here! If you loved her more, Alex would still BE HERE!

I screamed again, punching the mirror, destroying the image of that pathetic excuse of an older brother that was staring at me.

I fell to the floor, sobbing, ignoring the blood running freely from my hand as the shards of the shattered mirror fell all around me. I can’t believe this! She was gone! She was gone! I just sat there, sobbing, my back against the door, ignoring the sounds of all the worried voices outside the door. Then I heard one voice cut through all the others, clearer than the rest.

“Donghae, please open the door!” Uki shouted in pure agony.

I hated knowing that Uki was in pain.

I threw the door open, flinging myself into her arms. I cringed in regret when I knocked her to the ground by accident, but her being Uki and all, she ignored her own pain and wrapped her arms around me.

“Donghae, what’s wrong?!” she asked me, trying to get me to look at her. Then I saw her eyes widen as she yelled, “Oh my God, your hand! Leeteuk, go get the first aid kit! Heechul, go find me something to stance the blood with! Donghae, hold still, you’re getting blood everywhere!”

“She’s gone!” I kept sobbing. “Alex is gone! She’s gone! And it’s all my fault!”

“Donghae, it’s not your fault! It’s not! Quit blaming yourself!” Siwon told me, lowering himself down to my level.

“It is! If I were a better brother to her, she would still be here right now!” I cried.

Uki placed her hands on both sides of my face and forced me to look at her. “Stop it right this instant! This isn’t your fault! Quit blaming yourself because it is not your fault!”

All the guys dropped down, trying to calm me down.

“Hyung, don’t you know that we’re all breaking down inside? Alex meant a lot to all of us. We’re all in pain here!” Henry exclaimed through his tears. “You aren’t the only one who loves her!”

“Imagine how I feel!” Hangeng said.

“Imagine how I feel!” Kyuhyun threw in.

I laughed through my tears when they glared at each other, mouths open about to say something. Uki threw up a finger.

“If either one of you says one. Word. I will kill both of you,” she warned. Gosh, it felt so good to have someone around here that can stop all the fights again. “Teukie! Heechul! Where are you?!”

“We’re right here! Jeez, no need to scream,” Heechul said, coming up with a towel in his hand. He stooped down and threw it over my hand, flicking me in the forehead as well. “You ever worry me like that again, you stupid idiot, and I’ll kill you.”

I smiled, wiping away the remnants of my tears. Uki hit me upside the head as well, doing that cute glare/pout thing she always does. “You scare me like that again, and I’ll resurrect you after Heechul kills you just so I can kill you again, arasso?!”

I kissed her on the cheek. “Mianhe~”

She rolled her eyes. “Aegyo. I’m beginning to hate that word. Now, hold still.  This is gonna sting. And Donghae, quit blaming yourself. We’ll find her, don’t worry.”

I sighed and wiped away the remnants of my tears, flinching as she wiped my cuts down with alcohol. “I have faith in your abilities, Uki. But…Think of what’s happening to her right now. What if—?“

“I don’t wanna hear any what ifs!” she interrupted, staring at me with her intense green eyes. “If you say what ifs enough times, they’ll come true, so none of that, arasso?!”

I sighed as she carefully bandaged my hand up all nice and neat. “Arasso.”

“Good. Now somebody, help me up, please. I feel like I needa go jump into a bathtub full of ice before I feel any better.”

I was about to pick her up, but I must say that I was surprised when Heechul picked her up instead. Uki was obviously surprised as well as she threw her arms around his neck, uncertainly looking at the ground as if he were going to drop her. Heechul laughed.

“I’m a lot stronger than you make me out to be, Uki,” he told her with a laugh. “Besides, you’re like, what, ninety pounds?”

“Ninety-five!” she replied indignantly, pouting at him. “And that’s not why I was surprised. I just…Don’t remember you ever being such a sweet person. You were always the that hit on any girl in sight.”

We all laughed and as he just smiled.

“Who said I wasn’t?” he asked her with a sly wink.

“Yah, Heechul! Let someone else carry me! I don’t like that look you’re giving me!” she said with a laugh.

“I’ve got her, hyung,” I said, holding my arms out and taking her from him. She smiled up at me and leaned up, kissing me on the cheek.

“He helps you up and he gets a kiss on the cheek while all I get when I help you up is being called a ?! How is that even fair?!” Heechul exclaimed with a pout.

Uki smiled and cupped his chin with her fingers, pulling his face toward her. She smiled as she kissed him on the cheek. “Feel better?” she asked, pulling back to look at him.

“Much,” he replied with a smile.

She pushed him away from her and rolled her eyes. “Aish, you’re ridiculous, oppa.” Then she yawned, resting her head on my shoulder. “Now, if you’re done throwing fits, Donghae, how about you take me back to sleep?”

I laughed at her and kissed her forehead. Although I was still deeply upset about Alex being gone, I had to have faith in Uki to find her. As of right now, it’s all the hope I’ve got to hold onto.

Kekeke. I know, I know, the pic is all happy and whatnot, but Heechul and Donghae just looked so darn cute! What was I supposed to do?! ^^
