Chapter 23
One Roof, 2 Group Gangster, 6 Boyfriends-To-Be
The next morning Reina woke up early, her eyes still a bit swollen from all the cries she had yesterday. A knock came from outside her door before someone came in.
‘Oh you’re awake already? I was still thinking of putting this on your eyes for awhile before waking you up’ Chanyeol was holding an ice pack on his hand.
‘Here put this on for a while before you go downstairs. I’ll go down now and toast a few bread so that you can come down and eat later.’ Chanyeol passed the ice pack to Reina before he walked out of the room. Reina just watched as he left the room.
*Is oppa really back? Should I trust him? What if he didn’t mean what he said yesterday? What if he only said it to comfort me yesterday?* Reina looked at the closed door. She shrugged it away and placed the ice pack on top of her closed eyes while she lay on the bed for awhile.
After 5 minutes, Reina stood up and walked out of her room towards the kitchen. There he was just like what he had said, Chanyeol was taking out bread from the toaster. ‘Oh you’re here already? Good, its almost gone now’ Chanyeol looked at her face to check if her eyes were still swollen. Reina took a step back when she noticed how close the distance between them were.
‘Here, you can have these, they’re already toasted.’ Chanyeol passed a plate with a couple of toasts in them. Reina looked at Chanyeol in front of her. It was like her old kind and caring oppa was back. Reina realized the cut on Chanyeol’s face and his lip that slightly tear at the corner now that she looked at him carefully. She hadn’t noticed them yesterday since she was crying in his embrace and fell asleep in his arms when she got tired from crying.
‘The cut’ Reina let her voice trailed as she looked at Chanyeol.
‘Oh this?’ Chanyeol pointed at the small cut on the left side of his face. ‘Don’t worry about it, it wasn’t anything serious anyway. Come on lets go out and eat now’ Chanyeol shrugged it away and pulled Reina outside with a carton of milk and the breads he had toasted.
Chanyeol sat down and urged Reina to do the same but Reina went back into the kitchen again and appeared with a first aid kit in her hand. She let out a sigh before she applied it on Chanyeol’s face.
‘I told you it was nothing’ Chanyeol moved away as Reina leaned in to apply medicine on his face.
‘Stay still and don’t move’ Reina stopped Chanyeol from turning away before she leaned in to apply medicine on his cut and broken lip. Chanyeol could felt his heart beat faster as Reina approached him. He then broke into a wide smile as he looked at Reina’s face.
Reina who felt Chanyeol’s stare back away after she pasted the plaster on his cheek. ‘What are you smiling at?’ she awkwardly looked away as she placed the medicine back to the first aid kit.
‘Because I felt that the caring Reina from the past was coming back’ Chanyeol continued to look at Reina while his smile grew wider. Reina looked anywhere but him. She was about to put the first aid kit back when the others walked down from the stairs. All the other boys had some cuts on their face too like Chanyeol.
*What happened to them? Did something happened last night?* Reina looked at each one of them and pondered as they settled down.
‘Morning Reina’ Kai and Luhan greeted like usual but they were sending daggers to Chanyeol which Reina failed to notice. With a sigh Reina went over and opened up her first aid kit again.
‘What are you doing Reina?’ Luhan moved his head back while Reina took the disinfectant and cotton in hand leaning towards the cut on Luhan’s face.
‘Im going to treat your wound. What else? Don’t move’ Reina pulled Luhan’s chin towards her and hold onto his chin while she used her other hand to treat his wound. Kai gladly turned his face with cut towards Reina when she was done with Luhan.
‘Thank you’ Kai smiled as Reina approached him. Reina just rolled her eyes before she did the same to him. After she had sticked the plaster on him, she looked up to see the 3 cold ones. They’ll be harder to treat compared with Luhan, Chanyeol and Kai.
Reina sighed and went over to Lay first. Lay glared at Reina but Reina just ignored it and leaned towards him with the cotton and the disinfectant. ‘I’ll move away once I treat your wound. Is it that hard Yixing?’ Reina spoke as Lay turned his head away from her.
Lay heard her called his name and felt his heart raced. He hadn’t heard her call his name for a very long time but she would always add an oppa behind when she called him with his name instead of what people called him – Lay. ‘Hurry up’ Lay said feeling annoyed but he was anything but annoyed at Reina. He could never be annoyed by her. He moved away when Reina was about to place a plaster on his face. Reina got what he mean and moved towards Sehun.
Sehun didn’t have any cuts on his face but a broken lip, Reina did the same to Sehun, quickly dabbed on his wound with the cotton before moving away from him. Although Sehun was glaring at her, how he wished he could have told her all the truth and he wouldn’t have to suffer like now.
‘Don’t touch me’ Kris ate the toast from the plate without looking at Reina. Reina stopped in her track as Kris’s voice was harsh and it was a warning from him. Despite the warning, Reina continued and walked towards him, she cant possibly let his cuts go untreated.
Since there was not cut on Kris’s face, she didn’t had to go near his face. ‘I’ll be fast’ she tried to apply the medicine on his knuckles as fast as possible. Kris felt himself softened at this sight of Reina yet he remained a pokerface and continued to eat his toast.
