{At the hospital}

Doctors and nurses have been attending to Natsumi for hours now. Kyuhyun, Marikit and Heechul still has no idea how she is. They were in the waiting room in silence when Heechul decided to blurt stuff out that Kyuhyun had no idea about.

“Ikit-shi, mianhe… What I did was wrong, I know that…” Heechul said.

“Don’t just apologize to me, apologize to Kyuhyun too. Natsumi is his girlfriend after all…” Marikit said under her breath. She was still pissed off at Heechul big time.

“You don’t need to apologize to me hyung; it wasn’t your fault she was bitten by a snake…” Kyuhyun replied stiffly. He has no idea that Heechul and Marikit were talking about something else.

“No Kyuhyun, I wasn’t apologizing about that,” Heechul gulped.

“Tell him or I will.” Marikit threatened.

“What happened hyung?” Kyuhyun asked in a panicky tone. Heechul breathed a sigh and he couldn’t look Kyuhyun in the eye.

“Did you sleep with her??” Kyuhyun shouted.

“Anio! We only kissed. For like a split second!” Heechul admitted.

“You kissed her?!! That’s even worse!!” Kyuhyun erupted.

“How is that worse?” Heechul gasped.

“It just is! I can’t believe you kissed my girlfriend…” Kyuhyun paced back and forth in the room.

“I’m sorry,” Heechul bowed at the pissed off magnae.

“Apology not accepted hyung!” Kyuhyun spat.

“Kyu, will you come down?” Marikit requested in a calm tone.

“NO! How about you? Did you just forgive your boyfriend just like that?!” Kyuhyun questioned.

“Who said I’ve forgiven him?” Marikit retorted. Heechul’s eyes widened.

“Marikit, I’m really sorry. It won’t happen again!” He begged.

“How can I make sure that you won’t try anything with her again since it’s pretty clear that you’re attracted to her?” Marikit asked.

“YOU’RE ATTRACTED TO HER?!” Kyuhyun screamed.

“Well can you blame me?” Heechul raised an eyebrow.

“Excuse me??!” Marikit screeched.

“I mean, I won’t try anything with her ever again because I love you. I will never hurt you again. Trust me.” Heechul stated.

“I don’t blame you for being attracted to my girlfriend but you are not allowed to touch her ever again!” Kyuhyun glared at his hyung.

“Yes. I hear you Kyu.” Heechul sighed.

“Fine, whatever.” Marikit responded.

“I am really sorry Marikit. Please forgive me.” Heechul pleaded.

“We’ll see.” Marikit smiled slyly. Just then Dr. Park Min Kyung entered the waiting room with a smile on her face. Kyuhyun rushed over to her.

“She’ll be fine. We’ve taken all the venom out. Her blood is cleansing itself and she’s now resting.” Dr. Min Kyung declared confidently.

Kyuhyun, Heechul and Marikit blew a sigh of relief. Kyuhyun was so over the moon that he picked up Dr. Min Kyung and gave her a big bear hug.

“Can we see her?” Marikit asked.

“Of course but she is unconscious.” Dr. Min Kyung answered.

Kyuhyun, Heechul and Marikit went to Natsumi’s room.

“She still looks so pale.” Marikit mumbled when she saw her.

“Why did she have to get bitten by that damn snake?!!” Kyuhyun roared.

“She’ll be fine now Kyu, don’t worry.” Heechul said.

“Don’t touch me; I’m still angry at you.” Kyuhyun glared at him.

“What do you want me to do? I already apologized!” Heechul shouted.

“I don’t accept your apology, hyung!” Kyuhyun shouted back.

“Do you want me to get bitten by a snake as well?!” Heechul shouted some more. They were now giving death glares to each other.

“That would definitely help!” Kyuhyun yelled at his hyung.

“Ya! Will you two shut up?!” Marikit said pushing the two away from each other. She tried her best but the two boys were just really strong.

Kyuhyun and Heechul continued on yelling at each other while Marikit tried to make peace and shut them up. Suddenly, a croaky voice finally shut them up.

“Ya, I’m trying to rest here you idiots.” Natsumi uttered.

“NATSUMI!” The three gasped and rushed to her side.

“What’s with all the ing yelling?! Can you not have done that outside?” She complained. The three looked flushed and embarrassed.

“I did try to shut them up.” Marikit muttered.

“I know and I thank you for that.” Natsumi responded.

“Why did you kiss Heechul hyung?” Kyuhyun snapped.

“W-what? How did you, how did you know?” Natsumi stammered.

“I made Heechul tell.” Marikit gulped.

“Now why would you do that Marikit?” Natsumi sighed out loud.

“Because… I thought Kyuhyun should know.” Marikit replied stiffly.

“Answer my question Mimi.” Kyuhyun said with pleading eyes.

Natsumi didn’t know what to answer. Instead she avoided Kyuhyun’s eyes and looked down on her hands while fiddling with her fingernails.

“I made her kiss me.” Heechul answered for her.

“Yeah. That.” Natsumi gulped. “I’m so sorry Kyu.”

Kyuhyun sighed and then looked at Natsumi then at Heechul then at Natsumi again.

“Do you Heechul hyung?” He asked bluntly. Natsumi gasped.

“Why are you asking me that question?” Natsumi asked nervously.

“Kyuhyun--” Heechul chipped in.

“Stay out of this hyung,” Kyuhyun hissed.

“Marikit, can you call a nurse or the doctor, my sides hurt.” Natsumi said.

“No Marikit, stay right here. Natsumi you can’t get out of this. Just answer me.” Kyuhyun said firmly.

“I don’t love him! I love you! I love you Kyuhyun not Heechul!” Natsumi screamed.

“Then why did you kiss him???” Kyuhyun screamed back.

“I don’t think all this screaming is doing you any good.” Marikit said.

“Well this is your fault. Kyuhyun didn’t have to know anything.” Natsumi said.

“You’re probably right, I’m sorry.” Marikit apologized.

“I have the right to know.” Kyuhyun said.

“I’m sorry okay? It’s never going to happen again, right Heechul?” Natsumi said as she looked nervously at Heechul.

“Of course it’s never going to happen again!” Heechul answered.

“Do you promise?” Kyuhyun asked.

“I promise. Cross my heart, hope to die!” Natsumi raised her right hand up in the air.

“Can we just forget all this yeah?” Heechul added.

“Ne…” Marikit nodded.
