“I know you pity me,” Junjin broke their silence suddenly. “You don’t have to. You owe me nothing.”

Andy looked at him, and the wounded face, and the broken arm. “You took care of me when I was sick.” he answered. “I don’t know why, because we hate each other, but I owe you and I’m going to help you.” he promised. Junjin couldn’t help but bow his head down after Andy said they hate each other. “I don’t like you, but I still don’t want anyone to hurt you.” the butler mumbled.

“You should go,” Junjin said seriously. Andy looked at him confused. “I am kind of tired and would like to sleep more.” Junjin claimed that was his abrupt reason to throw Andy out. He didn’t want to hear anymore hate confessions.

“Oh, of course,” Andy smiled. “I’ll come back later?”

“You don’t have to,” Junjin muttered and lied down to his side, turning his back at Andy. “Just leave.” he said.

Andy, oblivious of the fact that Junjin was angry at him, bade farewell and then exited the room. Hyesung and Minwoo had gone somewhere while he had been at Junjin’s room. Andy stood still for a few seconds hand clutched onto the other arm. He had not seen Eric yet. He hesitated in front of the door and then knocked it. “Come in!” Eric yelled. When Andy entered the room, the face of the CEO brightened. Jimin was there. She glared at the butler. “Andy!” Eric shouted excitedly, spreading his arms when Andy came close enough. He hugged him.

“Sir?” Andy murmured bemused.

“Sir?” Eric repeated, frowning. “Why are you acting strange?”

“Why are you acting strange?” Andy questioned. “Are you okay?”

“I’m excellent!” Eric grinned. “Now that you’re here I’m even better!”

Andy glanced at Jimin, who was annoyed that the butler had found his way to the room. She didn’t seem surprised by Eric. Her hand was entwined with Eric’s, who hadn’t shoved her away. Andy didn’t understand.

“I’m so glad to see you,” Eric smiled, Andy’s cheek.

Andy felt his heart thudding and cheeks burning. He liked the touch and the feeling. Andy had only dreamt of moments like this with Eric. But it didn’t feel right. “You should be resting more,” The butler detached the hand from the cheek – it felt so cold now – and stepped aside. “You and Junjin were in a big accident.”

“How is Junjin?” Eric interrogated.

“He broke his arm and has some wounds, but he is fine,” Andy smiled.

Jimin didn’t let go of Eric’s hand. Her knuckles were white, indicating that she was really squeezing it possessively. “Where is Hyesung?” Andy interrogated suddenly.

“Who?” Eric scowled. “Oh, that man in the maid outfit?” Ah, so Eric had amnesia? Andy couldn’t hide the shock in his face. “He was supposed to bring me coffee, but he never did. I don’t think he is that good of a person.” Eric looked at Jimin and grinned widely. “I’m so happy Jimin was here to bring me some.”

Andy glanced at the y woman. “You should sleep.” he told Eric. “I know you don’t feel tired, but it’s going to feel so good.” he claimed. Eric looked at him, as Andy started to tuck him in. “You need to heal so we can get you back home.”

“Sounds good,” Eric smiled while closing his eyes. “Will you be here when I wake up?” he asked the butler.

“Yeah, we all will be.” Andy spoke.

“No,” Eric shook his head. He pulled Andy closer and whispered, “Just you.”

Andy blinked his eyes, blushing again, and then nodded softly. “I’ll be here,” he crooned so that Jimin didn’t hear it. Eric smiled and then fell asleep almost immediately. Andy turned his gaze toward the woman. He was scared of her, because she was very powerful, but something was off. “I’ll call you when he wakes up.” Andy said.

“I am not going to leave,” Jimin argued. “I’m making sure no one hurts my man anymore.”

Andy didn’t know what to say to that. He wouldn’t be able to make her leave. He bowed to her, and then walked out of the room. Before he left, he checked Junjin’s room once more. He was deeply asleep.

“Are you leaving?” Hyesung’s voice entered the butler’s ears when he exited Junjin’s room again.

“Yeah,” Andy responded. “I still feel kind of weak and I just…hate hospitals.” he shuddered.

“Don’t we all?” Hyesung mumbled. “Did you see Eric?” Andy nodded. “He has amnesia. But he remembers everyone else but me.”

Andy had figured it out, listening to Eric. He acted so weird. “I guessed…he was acting strange.” his cheeks flushed when he remembered the feel of the big hand on his cheek. “I’m sorry he doesn’t remember you.”

“No, you aren’t,” Hyesung snapped. “You aren’t sorry. You’re happy that he doesn’t remember me.” Andy looked at him. “Sorry, I…I didn’t mean to…I just…I’m so…”

“It’s okay,” Andy sighed. “I’ll just…I will just go.” he pointed toward the exit.

“Wait!” Hyesung managed to turn him around. “I think…Jimin…” the woman stepped out of Eric’s room when Hyesung spoke to the butler. “Never mind…let’s talk about this at home,” the maid whispered.

Andy didn’t understand anything, but he nodded. Hyesung took his hand and dragged him out of the hospital, so they could talk.

Dongwan pulled to a halt in front of some forest route. Minwoo looked at him and then interrogated, “Did you bring me here to kill me?” Dongwan frowned and shook his head, chuckling a little bit. “Oh, I was certain that you were.” Minwoo talked lowly. “Where are we exactly?” he asked, looking through the dashboard.

“We are a little outside of Seoul,” Dongwan replied. “I’d like to say that only I know about this place, but that’s not true,” he joked. Minwoo smiled, but immediately stopped once he remembered Eric and Junjin. “Come.” Dongwan got out of the car and Minwoo followed.

It was a little track through the forest. Minwoo didn’t know where it led. He had not been outside of Seoul willingly in a very long time – unless abroad was counted. He occasionally visited his family in Jeolla-do, but other than that, he never went outside. He was sort of a workaholic. If he was being hon
