Unspoken Words
SILVER BLOOD"Wake up.. are you okay? Should I call the boss for you?" The security guard asked the weak body that was lying near the entrance of the club.
"Can you stand?"
There was still no reply or any movement from the body.
"How long have you been in here? It's almost 5" said the worried security officer dialing a number on his phone.
"Hello boss. Sorry to disturb you this early in the morning.. The singing guy in your club is sleeping here and he won't even move.. Okay boss" he ended the call and waited till his boss got back.
In another 15 minutes, a black SUV stopped near the club and his boss got off. She was wearing a lose and comfortable t-shirt with a pair of knee-ripped jeans. And had worn a black snapback which covered her blonde hair.
"Jonghyun hyung.." She ran towards the body which was still lying on the ground.
"Are you okay? Where have you been?" She continuously tapped the face of the still man.
"This won't do. He's not waking up. Seems like he's having a fever. Sit him in my car. NOW." She stood up looking at the security guard.
She spent the next hour caring the man that she just brought home and was then keeping her head, after doing everything that she could do for him to get better.
"Am-ber.." She turned her head towards the singer as a response to the gentle shake on her hand and the gentle voice that called for her name.
"You're awake? Thank god your fever is going down" she replied while checking the temperature with her hand.
"Water.. please.."

Jonghyun grew up in an orphanage and there was only one person who cared for him there. She was the sister of the head matron and she was the person who took him to her sister's orphanage. Jonghyun would say she was his 'Fairy Grandma' but her sister was worse than "Lady Tremaine." But when Jonghyun was 6, his beloved nanny was killed. Jonghyun was the first person to find her on the ground covering with blood. From that day onwards Jonghyun was alone again. And was getting treated worse than an animal like the other kids in the building. That was when Amber came to the orphanage. Her both parents had died in a car accident and her only blood relative, her uncle, had turned his back on the little girl. And she was Jonghyun's first ever friend.
They found themselves being friendly with each other in a few days after their first meeting and doing almost everything together. They were quiet alike to others, and to see they were enduring every hardship together and trying to live a happy life whenever they could, made the others jelouse causing them to be bullied by the other kids.
It continued that way for another three years till the real owner of the orphanage came to the country after spending so many years in another country. He had bought the orphanage a few years back. Maybe a few months after Jonghyun's beloved nanny was killed and his 'lady Tremaine' started reigning. Jonghyun hoped the situation would be a little different with the new owner, but it wasn't as the owner didn't change the head matron or he didn't come visit. But after three years he came back and everything started changing a little by little. Everyone expected him to be a cruel old man that was like the male version of the head matron, but he was NOT. He was quiet young or at least he looked so young. He was extremely nice and was a cute looking guy with a charming smile. His name was Nam Yoon-Do and Eric for short.
He changed the daily routine of the orphanage and the matron often got scolded even though she was never fired. Kids were happy about the new owner. He was nice, kind and caring. They were finally treated as humans. Their tummies didn't make any weird noises till they fell asleep. Their bodies didn't hurt nor did they have to cry themselves to sleep holding onto their pillows. They got enough food, enough care and they could even finally go to a real school EVERYday.
Even though everything started changing there was no sign of ending the bulling that Amber and Jonghyun underwent everyday. But it was stopped on the day that Eric himself ended up involving on scaring out the bullies off of Amber and Jonghyun. A whole lot of things changed from that day onwards. They both finally started growing up like normal kids. Eric was their life saver, best friend and more like a role model. They could even give away their lives for him. They were always spotted with him and everybody called them "Eric's Dino kids". For Jonghyun he was a friend, a best friend.. a hyung and even a father figure sometimes. And for Amber he was a friend, a brother, a father figure and finally a man. Even though Eric was like more than ten years older than both the kids, he looked the same age as them and was still the loving boyfriend of Amber after years.

When Jonghyun and Amber was kicked out of the orphanage when they were not considered as kids anymore according to the rules, they had nowhere to go. So Eric bought an apartment for them. At first Jonghyun and Amber lived together there, but later Amber started living with Eric himself in his mansion. Jonghyun didn't have any complains. Amber was basically his non biological younger sister and he trusted Eric over his life regarding Amber. Jonghyun knew they both owe Eric their lives and he knew Eric would not use that as excuse to ruin their lives.
Jonghyun didn't have a job of any sort. He was a college student who totally depended on Eric for money and everything even though he didn't want to. One night Jonghyun asked Eric about it and all Eric said was, not to worry about that and continue studying. But Jonghyun had a fragile heart that felt guilty over being a bother to anyone. Even Eric knew about that, that he would be feeling guilty..
Eric is a famous guy in the country. He's the heir to the Eric technologies which is the most successful Asian business in America. They say maybe it could even affect Lee group if they expand their business in South Korea. Eric is a kind guy and popular among the citizens as a philanthropist. He has a few orphanages all around the country and he donates some of his money every few months making people wonder how rich he is to donate like that.. But in reality the thing people don't know is, he has more night clubs than orphanages in the country. And he is THAT "Eric" that every person in the country know the name of, but not the face. He's THAT druglord Eric, that everyone feared to hear the name of.
Jonghyun was confused to know all these when Eric explained him everything one night. Eric was supposed to be the most kind and caring hyung and his best friend. It was hard for Jonghyun to process everything in on night, but Jonghyun knew he owe him his life, so there were nothing to think. On the other hand he somehow kept thousands of kids alive, who were just like Jonghyun and Amber. That's why
