Kitty
Found You, Saved You
I woke up slowly, noticing I was still in the hospital. Somehow, my left hand felt so warm combined to my right one. I looked at it to find Minhyuk holding it. He was resting his upper body on the left side of the bed, snoring slightly.
Memories of last night entered my mind. I felt guilty for shouting at him. He wasn't here to hurt me, I really believed in him now.
I sat up straighter in my bed. Minhyuk suddenly turned silent for a little while, before letting out a low groan. He sat up, still holding my hand, and rubbed one of his eyes.
"Shouldn't you be at school?" I asked him carefully. I didn't want to prevent him from going to school.
"I told Eomma that I would stay here with you until you recover. She's passed the message to our school." He replied and gave me a sleepy smile.
"How are you feeling?" He said,
giving me a worried look.
"I'm better," I replied.
I owe him a lot to be honest. He did so much for me yesterday, and the only thing I did was shout at him and cry.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you yesterday..." I said and looked at my lap in shame.
"Don't apologise! I understand why you did it. It's a good thing that you let out you anger," he told me and squeezed my hand a little.
Something about having him around, really calmed my nerves. He stayed with me at the hospital all the three days I stayed there.
I was free to go home at Sunday, and Minhyuk gladly followed me home.
"Appa, I'm home," I called as Minhyuk and I entered the house. "Mi-Minhyuk-Ssi is here with me."
My father didn't answer, so we just went up to my room.
"You're coming to school tomorrow, right?" Minhyuk asked me as we both sat down on my bed. I nodded my head in response.
"Minhyuk-Ssi, you should go home and have some rest. I've been troublesome towards you these past days," I said and looked at him.
"You haven't caused me any trouble! I'll go home soon, don't worry," he chuckled, making a tiny smile cover my lips. He had actually made me smile a few times during the days we spent together at the hospital.
"Yah..." Minhyuk suddenly sighed out. I looked at him in confusing, wondering what he was thinking. "You've stopped calling me 'Lee Minhyuk-Ssi', but you're still calling me 'Minhyuk-Ssi'..."
I blushed slightly. I really had stopped calling him by his full name. That was something I hadn't realised until he said so.
"Sujung-ah, why don't you just cut off that 'Ssi' part fully? I'm your friend, remember?" He smiled with excitement in his eyes.
"I'll try," I said and nodded my head in response.
"You know... You kind of remind me of a kitten," Minhyuk suddenly said. "You're so cute and your hair is so fluffy."
I giggled slightly of his words.
"I'll call you 'Kitty' wether you like it or not," he said and smiled cutely at me.
"I'll get going now," he said and stood up. Honestly speaking, I didn't want him to leave.
"Should I pick you up on my way to school tomorrow?" He asked me. I slightly shook my head.
"You don't have to do that, I'll walk. It's not too far away anyways," I replied. It was only a ten minutes long walk to school from my house.
"Then I'll leave now. You should get some sleep." Minhyuk bent down towards me and kissed my forehead. I wanted to grab him to prevent him from leaving me, but I couldn't.
Emptiness filled my mind as I watched him leave. Everything was silent, the only thing I could hear was the television from downstairs. Soon, the silence was broken by my stomach, who let out a scream of hunger.
I didn't want to go downstairs and face my father right now...
Slowly, I laid down on my bed, covering myself with the blanket.
As I closed my eyes, I could only think of Minhyuk. The handsome boy with the kind and warm smile, with the caring personality. How did he manage to sneak into my heart so suddenly? I didn't want to like him, not yet. He was the first person who had said he was my friend since I moved to Seoul, and I couldn't be fooled by love so easily.
Something inside me is telling me differently. My heart tells me I want him, but my mind can't accept it yet. Why did love have to be so complicated?
Suddenly, my phone let out a message-sound. I quickly sat up and picked up my phone from the night stand. My heart speeded up as I read 'Minhyuk Oppa <3' on the message board.
I opened the message and read it;
"Kitty, are you awake?"
I'm awake because my mind keeps on thinking of you... He really didn't leave my thoughts at all!
"Yes, I am. Can't you sleep?" I sent him back. Suddenly, I realised that the time was 11:47 pm! I had school tomorrow, yet I was awake at this time of night.
Another message arrived on my phone;
"Yeah, I can't sleep... Should I pick you up?"
Should he pick me up...? Now...?
I scratched my head in confusion as I sent him a message back;
"Do you want to pick me up now?"
I kept staring at his sentence for a while, until a new text arrived;
"Yeah!"
That was all. Just 'Yeah!'. I constantly tried to put those two messages together. Did he want me to sneak out in the middle of the night, with a father like mine?
"...Why?" I replied, scratching my head once again.
I wasn't doubting in him any longer, but I wouldn't sneak out at night. Even if he had confessed to me that he liked me, I couldn't do that. I never thought anyone would ever like me so much that they wanted me to sneak out.
Even though he had confessed to me, I didn't know how to say that I liked him back. We had know each other for four days now... Wasn't that a too short period of time to say that you liked someone?
Another message snapped me out of my thoughts;
"'Cause then you can sleep with me!"
I was totally taken aback by this one. Not that I thought he would take my ity, he probably just wanted to sleep beside me. But still! He was already touching me way more than a normal person would do. How could he gesture me to sleep with him?
"Are you crazy?! I'll go to sleep now, in my own bed, and I'll see you tomorrow. Good night!"
I felt a little bad about sending this in response, but I just wanted to end this crazy conversation.
Soon, Minhyuk had already messaged me back. He was really a fast at texting;
"I'm not crazy, I just want to hold you. Are you still sure about walking to school tomorrow? I can pick you up if you want."
A smile crept around my mouth as I read the letters before me, but the thought of having to be seen in the same car as Minhyuk made it fade away. I wanted to come with, but all the people that would be around scared me.
I didn't want all the girls to talk even more behind my back, and I didn't want all the boys to bully me even more. Even though, I could see that Minhyuk was extremely popular, which cave him a lot of power among the students at our school.
"I want to walk. I'll see you tomorrow. Good night!" I sent him back. I didn't want to hurt his feelings or anything of that sort.
"Okey then, I'll see you tomorrow. Good Night, Kitty~"
His last message made me smile once again. I found it really cute that he actually gave me a nickname, and that being 'Kitty' of all things. Honestly, I took it as a compliment.
I soon dosed off into sleep, not even having any bad or paranoid thoughts before doing so. This guy had already changed something inside me.
I woke up at 6:00 because of my alarm clock. I was really tired, but I just casually shrugged it off and went to the bathroom.
School crept into my mind as I stood in the shower. I didn't want to go, I never did. If I was lucky, they would all leave me alone, and I could sit on the backside of the school in peace by myself, watching the overgrown seaweeds around the lake.
I stepped out of the shower and dried my hair and body with a towel. I didn't use any time on makeup, as I'm not really using that. My skin is quite clean, and to be honest, I'm actually not ashamed of my looks.
Suddenly, my phone rang. I fetched it from the sink and saw 'Minhyuk Oppa<3' blink on my phone. It wasn't surprising that he was the one who called. I think he is the only one who ever calls, except for Doctor Choi, but that's not the same.
"Yoboseyo?" I said as I accepted the call.
"Kitty, are you awake?" Minhyuks voice sounded tired, but happy.
"Yes... I wouldn't answer your call if I wasn't," I replied.
"That's true..." Minhyuk chuckled. "Do you still not want me to pick you up?"
He was still on that? How many times did I have to tell him that I didn't want him to drive me to school?
"Minhyuk-Ssi, I told you I wanted to walk."
"Aish, seriously! Stop calling me that!" he suddenly said in annoyance, making me giggle slightly.
"Fine, but I'll drive you home!" he continued with an agreed voice. "And you are coming with me home, my mother wants to meet you."
He talked about me to his mother? I had to meet his mother? It was sweet that he wanted me to meet his mother, but I was actually a little scared that she wouldn't like me.
No... I'm sounding like we were in a relationship, which we are not! Yet, at least..
How am I supposed to tell him my feelings? Everything is so annoying and complicated inside my head at these days.
"Are you still there, Kitty?" Minhyuk asked me worriedly, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Uh... Yeah... It's fine, I'll come with you home, but I'm hanging up now. See you at school," I said awkwardly.
"Okey...? Bye, beautiful~" he sang, making me blush. Luckily he didn't see that.
