“Silly.”

Sungmin looked shocked and immediately let go of Sunny. “What?”

“Silly!” She repeated in louder voice while looking straight into Sungmin’s eyes.

“What is this?” Sungmin looked quite angry. “What kind of girl would say silly to the guy who is confessing to her?”

“Then, what about you? What kind of guy confesses at the hospital?” Sunny pouted her lips cutely.

“Wow, you always have the last words!” Sunny just gave a small grin. “Aigoo… how can you cry like a little kid?” He wiped her tears gently. “Are you very touched of my confession?”

“What touched?! I don’t feel anything like that!” Sunny slightly raised her voice. “It’s because you really hurt my heart before! What a bad boy!” She hit Sungmin’s chest lightly.

“What?! Just now you called me silly and now bad boy?!” He asked in disbelief. “Wow, this is really too much!” He rolled his eyes. “Then, how about you?! Just because I made only a mistake, you are angry over me for long.”

“Only a mistake?! You know how serious your mistake is?!”

“Yah, actually it’s not even my mistake! You didn’t give me any chance to explain to you! Such a hot-tempered girl!”

“What?!” Sunny widened her eyes. “You…” She bit her lips. “Alright, I’m hot tempered girl and I’m really mad right now! So what?! I don’t find any reason why should I stay here!” She was just about to go.

“W… wait!” Sungmin immediately grabbed her wrist. “Where are you going?”

“What do you care?!” She put off Sungmin’s hand from hers.

“Alright! Alright! I’m sorry. It’s my fault, I’m sorry.” He grabbed her hand.

“Yah! Let me go!” Sunny tried to put his hand off but his hold was too tight. “You… let me go!” She pushed him harder but accidentally touched his injured hand.

“Ouch!” Sungmin exclaimed in pain. “My… my hand…” He held his injured hand softly while exclaiming his pain.

“Oh!” Sunny looked very shocked and immediately went to him to check his condition. “Are you okay? Are you okay?” She asked in worry. “I’m sorry.”

“Aish!” Sungmin gave a glare to her. “Just go!” He said angrily before going back to his bed.

Sunny just stared at him who was lying down on the bed. She did feel guilty. “S… Su… Sungmin, I’m sorry.” She approached him cautiously. “I’m really sorry. I’m REALLY REALLY sorry.” She emphasized ‘really.’ However, Sungmin didn’t give any reaction to her at all. “Sungmin, answer me.”

“Didn’t that you really want to go just now?! Just go!” He sounded very angry.

Sunny took a deep breath. “Alright. Because I didn’t listen to you before, I’ll do what you want now. Then, I’m off. Take care.” She took a step backward to see his reaction but he didn’t say anything at all. “I really will go.” There was still no answer from Sungmin. “I’m really going now.” Sunny said once again but she still couldn’t get the answer from Sungmin. “Aish!” She mumbled and forced herself to open the door.

“Wait.” Sungmin finally said after hearing the sound of the door was opened.

Sunny stopped once she heard his voice and her lips curled up. She controlled her smile on her face and turned around while keeping serious expression on her face. “What?”

“Come here.” He motioned her to come closer to him.

“What? Just say it. I want to go home.” Sunny still tried to play around with him. Sungmin bit his lips while giving a death glare. “Alright.” She replied later and went closer to him. “What do you want?” She asked without looking at him while pouting her lips cutely.

“Sit down.” He said to Sunny while pointing to the chair beside the bed. She just sat on the chair obediently. “You are dead if you get up from this chair, understand?” He sounded threatening but it had a deep meaning. Sunny pouted her lips while nodding. He closed his eyes back to get some rest. Sunny just stared at his cute face.

All of a sudden, he opened back his eyes which shocked Sunny. “Why?”

“This won’t work.”

“What do you mean?”

“I can’t believe you.” He grabbed her hand and held onto it tightly like he won’t let her go. “You might go somewhere when I sleep.”

“Ceh…” Sunny burst into chuckle. She placed another hand on his hand which was holding her hand. “I won’t go anywhere.” She smiled. Sungmin smiled to her back before closing his eyes and now, he could rest at ease with Sunny by his side.

-----------

The doctor came out from Minho’s ward. Everyone was walking towards him to know about Minho’s condition. Yuri especially looked very worried and at the same time, she did feel guilty for giving him a permission to play.

“Doctor, how is his condition?” Yuri asked in worry.

“He is fine now. He already gained his consciousness.”

“But, how about his legs? Is he going to be okay?” Taeyeon asked.

“We have examined his legs and right now, his legs are still okay but with one condition, he can’t move a lot and have to take a break longer than before since the condition of his legs is getting worse than before. Fortunately, he stopped playing at the right time. Otherwise, I think he won’t be able to walk for the rest of his life.”

“So, his legs can still be recovered?”

“Yes, as long as he take an enough rest.” The doctor nodded.

Everyone looked relieved after hearing what the doctor said. “Can we see him right now?”

“Yes, sure.”

“Thank you, doctor.” Donghae thanked the doctor while bowing his body. The doctor bowed back before walking away.

Everyone was going to enter Minho’s ward but Yuri didn’t move at all and she just sat on the chair outside Minho’s ward.

“Oh, Yuri… aren’t you going to see him?” Yoona asked in confusion.

“It’s okay. You guys go first.” Yuri replied. She looked quite depressed.

“Why? Anything’s wrong?” Tiffany asked while taking a seat beside Yuri.

“Doctor said that he will be okay. So, why are you being like this? You are still worried?” Jessica asked.

“No… it’s just that… I need some time.”

“Then, we’ll see him first. You take your time, okay?” Taeyeon put her hand on Yuri’s shoulder. Yuri nodded while forcing a smile.

All of them except Yuri entered Minho’s ward. She still looked depressed and actually the guilty feeling was haunting her. If she didn’t give permission to Minho, all of this won’t happen. Why did she become so stupid? She knew his legs weren’t recovered fully yet she still let him to play. Before, he hurt his legs also because of her. He had put his life in danger for many times because of her.

Honestly, she did feel angry at herself. She took a deep breath and buried her face on her palms.

-------------

Minho looked at the door after hearing someone entering the ward. He was happy all of them came to visit him and he gave a smile, convincing that he was really alright.

“Wow, Minho! You are really… how can you play while bearing your pain?!” Donghae gave a piece of his minds to Minho. He just smiled as a reply.

“Luckily, you stopped at the right time. You might be unable to walk for the rest of your live if you keep playing, you know?” Taeyeon joined Donghae to scold Minho for his stupid action.

“So, how is my condition?”

“You are lucky, you know! You still can still be recovered but please, please! Have enough rest!” Wooyoung answered while emphasizing the ‘please’ word.

Minho nodded while smiling. Then, he looked around, looking for someone that he had wanted to see since he first gained his consciousness.

“Why? Are you looking for Yuri?”Jessica asked. Everyone had predicted the same too.

“Yes. Where is she?”

“Do you think she will be okay after you put your life in danger like that?” Yoona asked sarcastically.

“Why? What happened to her?” Minho asked in worry while trying to get up.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Donghae held Minho’s arm to keep him stay still on the bed. “You can’t move! How can you move with your legs like this?!”

“I want to see her. Is she okay?” Minho finally lied down back on the bed as Donghae asked him to.

“She is okay, don’t worry. She just need some time. So, please let her be alone for a while. She also is very worried about you. I think she will be here soon.”

------------

Minho was alone in his ward. He stared at the window but his minds were on other thing. He couldn’t sleep at all because he felt very uneasy. Is Yuri very mad at him? He couldn’t rest at ease until he and Yuri discussed everything or at the very least, she was willing to see his face even for a while. He really felt suffered as he couldn’t see her face until now.

He took a deep breath and placed his arm on his forehead as he closed his eyes. Suddenly, he heard someone opened the door. “Yuri-ah, is that you?” he asked with full of hope.

“Are you looking for your girlfriend?” The nurse asked while bringing along a food for Minho. He just forced a smile. “It’s time for you to eat.” The nurse put the food on the table.

“Thank you.” Minho replied while forcing a smile.

“Aren’t you going to eat now?”

“Maybe later. I don’t feel like eating right now.”

“Minho, you must eat. Don’t you want to get better faster?”

“But, I…”

“You should eat.” Yuri suddenly appeared which shocked Minho actually.

“Yuri-ah…” Minho still looked shocked with Yuri’s sudden appearance.

“I think I should leave you guys now.” The nurse said while smiling widely. Yuri slightly bowed her body to the nurse before the nurse walked away.

Minho tried to get up and sat properly on his bed. “Hey, you shouldn’t move too much.” Yuri rushed to him, helping him to sit on the bed.

Minho suddenly hugged Yuri. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.” He gave her a tighter hug. “Please forgive me.”

Yuri pushed Minho’s chest softly to talk to him properly. “Actually, I… I just feel guilty because I let you play.”

“No, no, no. It’s my fault. I made the mistake.” He pointed to himself. “I feel so scared when you didn’t want to see me.”

“But, still… you have put your life in danger for a few times because of me. I feel like I’m not good enough and didn’t have any right for being treated like that.”

“Yuri-ah, what are you talking about? You are my girlfriend, of course I’ll do anything to protect you. Besides, all of this happened not because of you. So, please stop blaming yourself. I don’t want to see you being hurt like this because it makes me hurt too.” He explained while cupping her face. He gave her a hug again. “Don’t say … no, don’t ever think about this anymore. You just made me scared. Please don’t leave me.”

Yuri finally smiled and she hugged him tightly too. “I’ll be always by your side. But, if you do something stupid once again, you are dead!”

“Yes! I get it.” Minho answered enthusiastically. He let her go. “Thanks!” He added excitedly while giving a kiss on Yuri’s lips.

“Yah!” she scolded him though her lips were curling up.

“Why? There is no one around us.”

She looked around and even lifted her head up. “There might be a CCTV.”

“You think too much!” Minho knocked her head gently because in his eyes, she looked cute, thinking the extraordinary things which was very rare for other girls to think about.

“What?!” Yuri rubbed her head. “You must get a punishment for doing that to me.” She pointed to him seriously.

“I’m a patient. You should reconsider about it.”

“Don’t give me any excuse!” Yuri gave a fierce glare.

“Ok, ok!” Minho immediately gave up after seeing her face. “Just do it.”

“Close your eyes first.”

“What?” Minho looked scared what was Yuri going to do with him. “W… wait. Don’t you feel worried about me? I thought you can’t even be at ease until you know my condition. Why did you change so drastically?”

“Minho! Just close your eyes!” Yuri slightly raised her voice.

“Alright. I would be happy too even I’m dead in your hand as long as you are by my side.” He grinned before closing his eyes. Yuri let out a chuckle. After making sure Minho closed his eyes, she stared at his face for a while with a wide smile on her face. “What are you doing?” he asked after Yuri still didn’t do anything.

“Wait for a while.” Yuri replied. She finally drew her face closer to his and closed her eyes.

However, Minho already knew what Yuri was going to do. He opened his eyes and just looked at Yuri who was going to kiss him. He smiled widely staring at her face. The more Yuri went closer to him, the more he kept his face away, trying to keep the same distance from their faces.

He pinched her nose. “Ouch!” Yuri finally opened her eyes and held her nose. She gave a fierce glare to him.

“I know what you are going to do.” Minho grinned.

“Yah! You have…”

Minho cut her off. “Alright. I’ll accept two of my punishments now.” He cupped her face and gave peck on her lips twice as his punishments. “Are you satisfied now?” He asked while smiling widely.

“Geez…” She glared at him though her lips curled up.

------------

Hyunjoong was lying down on his bed while staring at the ceilings. He placed his right arm behind his head. He couldn’t stop thinking about Tiffany and eventually, his lips curled up thinking about her.

“I wonder what she is doing right now.” He immediately took his cell phone and sent a message to Tiffany.

‘Hi, are you busy?’

Not too long after, he got a reply and he immediately checked it out in excitement.

‘Hi. ^^ Yes… I’m quite busy… sorry.’

His smiled slowly disappeared from his face. He sent another message to her.

‘Oh… I’m sorry for bothering you.’

He put his cell phone on the desk beside his bed. He lied down on the bed back while heaving a deep sigh.

All of a sudden, there was a person pressed the bell. “Oh! Who is coming on time like this?” He got up and went to the door of his villa. He opened the door and his eyes went bigger because he didn’t expect it. “Oh! Fany-ah…”

Tiffany was just about to greet him but she stopped and looked at Hyunjoong in shock. He looked confused why she was shocked too. He looked down where Tiffany was looking at. Just then, he realized that he was wearing a short pants which had a cartoon picture on it.

“W… wait a minute!” Hyunjoong immediately closed the door.

Tiffany just waited outside his house. “Aigoo…” She smiled shyly after seeing something that she never expected to see.

Not too long after, Hyunjoong came back and he opened the door. “H… hi…” He greeted her in embarrassment. He wore a trouser and a new shirt which looked much better than before.

“Y… yes.” Tiffany nodded while smiling shyly. “Do you mind I come here?”

“Of course not.” He immediately replied. “Come in.” He moved to the side to let her enter his house. She followed him to the living room. “Have a sit.”

“Thank you.” She smiled before taking a seat on the sofa. She looked around, observing the condition on his house. Honestly, his house was much better than she expected to be. It was very tidy.

“How did you know my house?”

“I asked Eunyoung.” Tiffany grinned. “I just want to see your house. It’s really really big and beautiful. As expected, a vice chairman’s house…”

Hyunjoong rubbed his neck while smiling. “But, didn’t you say that you are busy? So, how can you be here?” He looked at Tiffany in confusion.

“Yes, of course I’m busy… because I’m on the way to your house.” She smiled widely. “Why? Are you shocked?” She asked proudly.

“Ceh…” Hyunjoong let out a chuckle.

“You must be too shocked, right? You even wore a cartoon pants!” She started making fun of him and laughed wholeheartedly while holding onto her stomach.

“Yah!” He slightly raised his voice while staring at her.

After she managed to stop her laughter, she took a few deep breathes. “You really like Pororo, huh?”

“O… of… of course nope!” He immediately denied. “My uncle gave it to me for my birthday.”

“Really?” She seemed didn’t believe what he said. “Then, when your birthday, I’ll give it to you too, okay? I bet you will look very cute!” She started laughing again.

“Yah!” Hyunjoong stared at her angrily but honestly, he liked to see her being so happy especially when it’s because of him. Tiffany couldn’t stop laughing.

Tiffany was aware that Hyunjoong kept stared at her. “Why?”

“No… nothing.” He shook his head and immediately looked at other direction. “Anyways, have you eaten?”

“Not yet. Actually, I’m quite hungry. Let’s go eat.”

“Don’t worry, I can cook.”

“Are you sure?” She asked in excitement. “But, will it be delicious?” She looked quite worried that it won’t be good.

“Of course!” he replied proudly. “I won’t survive if I can’t cook.” He meant that he must be a good cooker since he stayed at his villa alone. “Wait here. You can survey my house if you want.”

“Ok!” She exclaimed. Hyunjoong smiled before heading to the kitchen.

Tiffany got up and looked around in his villa. His villa was really big especially when he stayed there alone. However, what shocked her most was that his villa was very clean, much better than her own apartment before.

“Hyunjoong…” Tiffany entered the kitchen.

“Yes?” He asked.

“You asked me when I stayed alone at a big apartment, and now… don’t you feel lonely or afraid too when you stay alone in this big villa?”

“It’s okay because I’m a guy. So, it won’t be dangerous! You are a girl of course it would be quite dangerous. ”

“Really? It’s because you are a guy? A guy who likes Pororo?” She started making fun of him again. She bit her lips to hold her laughter.

“Yah! You…” She burst into laughter and ran away. “Yah! Don’t run away!” He ran after her.

After for a while, he managed to grab her hand and accidentally pulled her with a strong force until Tiffany involuntarily went to his embrace.

“Oh!” Tiffany’s eyes went bigger as her head near to his chest. She lifted her head up and looked at Hyunjoong. They both looked shocked.

“I… I… I will check the food.” Hyunjoong said in stutter.

“Huh? Ah, yes. Ok.” Tiffany nodded. Hyunjoong headed to the kitchen. Tiffany just grinned by herself which made her look like an idiot.

------------

“Minho, you should eat your food first.” Yuri gave a plate of food to him.

“No, I’m not going to eat.” Minho pouted his lips and acted like a small kid. “I don’t feel like eating.” It seemed like there was a deep meaning behind his disagreement.

“Minho!” Yuri started to scold him like a mother.

“Aigoo…” Minho muttered while shaking his head. “You still look pretty even when being angry.” He took the spoon and took a full bite.

“Ceh! What’s wrong with you?” Yuri let out a chuckle. She stared at Minho who was chewing the food.

However, his expression didn’t seem good. “It’s really bad!” He swallowed the food with a frown on his face. “I don’t want to eat anymore.” He put the spoon on the table, beside the food and then he folded his arm.

Yuri took the spoon and had a taste of the food. “I think it’s just fine. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

“Of course it’s different when you eat it.”

“Huh? What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“You are eating with your hand, right?” Minho asked. Yuri nodded though she still didn’t understand what he was talking about. “What I mean is, it’ll absolutely delicious if eat with your hand.” Yuri looked at him with a frown on her face, obviously she still didn’t get it. “I want you to feed me!” He finally went to the point.

“Ceh!” Yuri let out a chuckle. “You just hurt your legs, your hands are fine!”

“I won’t eat unless you feed me.” Minho folded his arm while making angry face. “Hmph!”

“You are acting like a child.”

“What a child?! So, you won’t do it?” Minho asked in anger. Yuri was just about to answer but Minho continued to talk, not giving a chance to her. “Your boyfriend is sick, you should take care of him. Don’t you know about your responsibility? Did I have to teach you about that?” He nagged her like an old woman.

“Yes, I get it, Minho ahjumma!” Yuri emphasized ‘ahjumma’. “Nagging like an old woman. Geez!”

“What?! Ahjumma?!” Minho asked in disbelief.

Yuri just ignored it but a smile could be seen on her face and she took the food as she sat down on the side of Minho’s bed. “Ahhh…” She asked Minho to open his mouth.

He smiled widely after taking a bite of food from Yuri’s hand, like he wanted. “Really really really reallllyyyy delicious!” He exclaimed like an excited kid.

Yuri smiled widely after seeing his reaction. “It’s really delicious?”

“Yes!” Minho showed a thumb-up. “Why type of magic did you use to your hand?”

“You are getting cheesier nowadays!” Yuri rubbed her arms.

“Of course! Who else had turned me into a person like this?” He grinned.

Yuri continued feeding him until he finished all of them. “Now, it’s time for you to eat the medicine. Here.” She gave it to him but he didn’t take it. “Why?” Minho shook his head while pouting his lips. “Ah! What again this time?!” she burst into anger.

“Ahhh…” Minho opened his mouth, asking Yuri to feed him again.

“Ceh!” Yuri let out a chuckle. “It’s harder to take care of you than a child.” She muttered while smiling before feeding Minho with the medicine. She took a glass of water and helped Minho to drink it. “Ok, now?”

“Come here.” Minho motioned her to come closer to him.

She sat down at the side of his bed. “What?” She looked at him curiously. He didn’t reply to her anything and just stared straight into her eyes with a smile on his face. “Why?” She raised her eyebrows.

“Aigoo… my hardworking girl…” Minho pinched her cheek.

“Yah! You do it again!” Yuri burst into anger. “It hurts!” She rubbed her cheek. “Why did you like to pinch me?!”

“It’s because you are too cute!”

“What is this?” Yuri pouted her lips.

Minho came closer to her and wrapped his arms around her, giving her a tight hug. Yuri’s lips finally curled up. “Thank you.”

“Why suddenly thank me?”

“Thank you for being here, taking care of me and the most importantly, for not being angry at me anymore. Thank you, thank you very much.” Actually, he did all these things, acting like an little kid was just to make her happy and forget everything including her guilty feelings.

Yuri smiled and her eyes looked teary since she was too happy and touched. “I want to thank you too for being safe and sound.” He her hair while giving her tight hug.

-----------

Tiffany had a taste of the food that Hyunjoong had cooked. He looked at her anxiously, waiting for her reaction. “How is it?”

“Oh, it’s really delicious.” Tiffany said in excitement. “Wow, you are even better than me!” She showed a thumb-up.

Hyunjoong smiled widely. They both ate the food hungrily especially Tiffany who seemed too hungry. He looked at her. “You eat like a kid. There’s something at your face.”

“Really? Where is it?” She touched her face.

“Move to the left a bit…”

“Left?”

“Right, right…”

“Right?”

“Come here.” He motioned her to come closer.

“W… why?” She asked in confusion but she still did what he asked her to do.

He touched her lips with his finger, wiping the sauce on her lips. She stared at his face and she did feel awkward as his finger touched her lips. His eyes went to her eyes from her lips. They looked into each other’s eyes.

Tiffany was aware what was going on first. She sat down properly on the chair back while cleaning . “T… th… thanks.”

“It… it’s okay.” He replied. They both seemed uncomfortable with the incident just now and continued eating though they didn’t know whether the food was entering their mouths or noses.

-------------

“Sunny, are you sleeping?”

Sunny was lying down on the mattress which had been spread out beside Sungmin’s bed, “No.”

Not too long after, Sungmin asked again. “Are you sleeping?”

“Not yet.”

After a moment, he asked again. “Are you sleeping?”

“How can I sleep if you kept asking?”

“I’m sorry.” He replied. Actually, he couldn’t sleep because he had slept for long that afternoon.

“Wait a minute!” Sunny blurted out which shocked Sungmin. It seemed like Sunny was thinking about something instead of trying to fall asleep.

“W… why?” Sungmin asked in anxiousness.

Sunny got up and sat properly on the mattress while facing Sungmin. Seeing her got serious , he got up too and sat properly on his bed.

“Are you going to be two-timers?!” She asked seriously.

“What?” Sungmin looked obviously didn’t understand what she was talking about.

“Are you going to date me and Hara at the same time?!”

“Oh…” He laughed because she was silent before, thinking about that. Plus, he also forgot to explain to her about his ‘real’ relationship with Hara.

“Yah! Laugh?! How can you laugh?! This is not funny!” she burst into anger.

“Then, what do you want me to do?” Sungmin tried to .

“What?!” Sunny asked in disbelief. “You asked me about that?!” Instead of replying, he just smiled widely. “Yah! How can you be so calm?! Ok, I give a warning to you! Let’s just break up! I won’t be your girlfriend as long as Hara still your girlfriend! I don’t want to be a cheap girl!” She yelled at him.

He drew his face closer to her. He closed his eyes and placed his lips on hers. Sunny’s eyes went bigger as Sungmin had made a move for their first kiss.
