3 Days later..

 

Anna was at home reading a magazine, flipping through random pages while the television is on, playing in the background .. She wants the sound from the television to make the atmosphere less lonely.. She turned her head towards the kitchen when she felt throat a little dry. She then took up her crutches that were near her and limped her way towards the kitchen but at this very moment, her doorbell rang. She changed her tracks and head towards the door instead. She opened the door and saw her male best friend.

 

“ Hey babe! Have you eaten?” Jiyong asked while lifting up a bag of food up to her eye level. She smiled at him..

 

“ You bought food” She smiled as he nodded..

 

“ I bought something new to try,” he made his way inside her house, closing the door behind him. He helped her to the dining chair. He then settled the food on the table, opening the container lids.

 

“Jiyong oppa..” She called him for his attention.

 

“ I need a glass of water.. I’m really thirsty.. Can you…” She didn’t need to finish her sentence. Jiyong was already on the way to her water jug, pouring a glass of water for her, passing it to her. He is really an awesome friend.

 

“ Thank you..” She took the cup with both hands, drinking it fast.. She looked like she have not had water for days.. Jiyong looked at her gulping the entire glass of water. She placed the empty glass on the table as she her lips.

 

“ Woah.. Have you not been drinking for days?” He a little..

 

“ I can’t really move around.. I’ll drink when I can.” She explained herself.. Jiyong took out a pair of chopsticks from the plastic, picking up a piece of chicken and placed it right in front of ..

 

“ Try this..” She obeyed fast by opening , allowing the chicken to fall in as she chewed. The flavour was new to her, but it was to her liking. It was a little spicy and savoury at the same time.

 

“ Mmmmm.. This is yummy..” She squealed in delight! She pulled the whole container to herself while Jiyong chopsticks were in mid air, frozen at her action.

 

“ At least let me try a piece..” She chuckled when he said that. She took his chopsticks and picked up a chicken, feeding it to him. He gladly took it and nodded in satisfaction. It might be spicy and savoury to Anna but this might be the sweetest chicken he ever eaten.

 

Pretty sure it’s not about the chicken now.

 

“ Do you want one more?” She asked while he nodded. That was when she decided to be playful. She took another piece and place it near his mouth but the moment he came nearer and opened his mouth, she moved her hand placing the chicken into her own mouth instead. Jiyong still had his mouth opened, She chuckled at his reaction. He closed his mouth and looked at her, shocked..

 

“ Babe.. what are you doing?” He asked, a little confused..

 

“ What am I doing?” She acted innocent, trying her best not to smile.

 

“ Give me one more please?” If she wants to play. He can play with her..

 

She picked up another piece of chicken and placed it near his mouth.. This time he grinned and grabbed her hand to stay still.. He got up from the chair and went nearer to her face. Not the chicken. Her face. That was when their eyes met. She swallowed her saliva, still looking into his eyes. He leaned in even closer to her.. His lips was just two inches away from her lips. She didn’t know what to do. Her mind and body froze when he was close. When Jiyong has enough fun, he pulled away from her, taking the piece of chicken from the chopsticks as he sat back down and chewed. Looking smug while Anna was now the one who still had her chopstick in mid air..

 

“ Two can play,” he leaned back on the backrest and smirked at her. She was blushing now. Her cheeks were flushed..

 

TOP and Shirley..

 

“ Do I look good in this?” She came out of the changing room with her wedding gown on. Her white wedding gown have diamond beaded around her waist and a super low V cut that can show her compliment her cleavage.. She was clever enough to choose the photoshoot and wedding while her stomach wasn’t showing yet. She chose a wedding gown that flowed on the ground all around her. She looked gorgeous.

 

“ Shall we take our photo now?” She linked her arms with him, practically dragging him to the photoshoot area. She was a model and she knew how to work around camera. TOP had some photoshoot experiences as well but they were all with s. Without them, TOP felt totally out of place. A wave of uneasiness washed through him.

 

“ Can the groom smile please?” The cameraman’s request made Shirley turned to look at him..

 

“ Can you please smile..” She whispered in his ear. TOP trying his best to force out his smile. Seeing that, Shirley leaned in to give a quick peck on his cheek but it didn’t take long before TOP’s fake smile faded, making the cameraman request for his smile again. This made Shirley a little annoyed.

 

“ What’s wrong?” She asked..

 

“ Nothing..” He answered without an expression. The camera light flashed at them but they ignored it..

 

“ Tell me.. Are you not feeling well?” She placed her hand over his forehead to check his temperature but he feels normal. Does he have a headache?

 

“ I’m fine,” he pulled her hand away from his face.

 

“ Oppa” She called him while another camera light flashed.

 

“ Oppa.. Look at me.” She basically had to turn him around to face her..

 

“ Do you not want to get married?” She asked him a very serious question. She was in a wedding gown. He was in his white tuxedo, half way into the wedding photoshoot and his future wife asked him about this. How was I supposed to reply? No? That would be embarrassing for both of us and should he say yes, that would be a lie he don’t want to make. That was when another camera light flashed at them. Shirley turned to glare at the cameraman with eyes burning through the thick headed skull of the cameraman.

 

“ Does this look like something I want to remember?” She placed her hands on her hips, getting very annoyed by the camera flashes and TOP..

 

“ Answer me..” She slightly pushed him, impatient.

 

“ I said I. Am. Fine.” He started at her sternly. That stare and the tone of his voice sent shivers down her spine. She knew she had went overboard. She shouldn’t have physically pushed him, especially not in public..

 

“ Sorry..” She apologized looking down. TOP turned his attention to her as he let out a sigh..

 

“ Let’s just continue..” He signal for the cameraman to continue. Trying his best to smile this time. Shirley is a professional model. She could work in any mood. She could smile the most natural smile even when she is pissed, sad or angry.

 

“ That's good!” The cameraman continue his work with flashes and sounds from the camera.. Shirley sneaking peeks at him throughout the photoshoot.

 

Anna’s apartment ..

 

“ Oppa! Rinse it well!” She pointed at the plate that Jiyong was about to stack with the other cleaned plates. It was Anna job to soap them with the kitchen sponge. Although she could only use one hand, she insisted on helping. She soap the plates while they were in the sink. It would take slower than usual but she was trying her best, while Jiyong job was to rinse them and dry them before keeping it back in the cupboard. She stopped him at this particular plate because she spotted that there was still some soap left on it..

 

“ Okay okay..” he ran the plate under water earning chuckles from her..

 

“ You…” She couldn't continue when her doorbell rang. Jiyong off the tap and dried his hands with the dish towel, walking to the door, opening it to see the youngest member..

 

“ Hey, An- Hyung? Hey! What are you doing here?” Seungri’s natural smile had turned into a teasing one, as he looked at Jiyong.

 

“ What are you doing here?” The leader asked him back the same question.. He felt very curious as to why was he in front of Anna’s apartment?

 

“ Well, I was nearby so i decided to drop by and check on her. Where is she anyway?” He walked into the apartment, walking past his leader, looking around the apartment for her.. When she heard noises and footsteps getting nearer, she placed down her sponge and rinsed her hand under the tap water before turning it off. The moment she turned she saw Seungri walking in..

 

“ Seungri oppa?” She was surprised to see him and only him.. Where’s the rest?

 

“ Hello princess!” He greeted her.. Seungri always teases her with anything he could think of.. From nicknames like princess, my queen, your highness to awful ones like , idiot, and stupid. These are the names that Seungri would play around to call her. Princess doesn’t sound that bad afterall eh?

 

Awww.. Seungri and Anna.. 

 

“ Where is Daesung and Taeyang oppa?” She asked, still looking around for them..

 

“ Daesung hyung went back to his mom’s place and Taeyang hyung.. He’s out on a date with Julie.. Why can’t I come and see the leader’s future wife?” Seungri can’t seem to shut his mouth, can he? Jiyong was mentally throwing daggers at him now. Seriously?!

 

“ Leader’s future wife?” She started to blush. Jiyong literally had cover Seungri’s mouth with his right hand and pulled him away from Anna to refrain from anymore embarrassment. The moment they reach her sofa, the leader pulled him down to sit.

 

Oh ..

 

“ What are you trying to do?!” He whispered loudly at him..

 

“ I’m trying to help!” He whispered loudly back at him..

 

“ Who knows when she would be taken again..You have to act fast!” Seungri added, smiling at the leader who was frowning..

 

“ Get out.. Get out now.” He pointed to the door but Seungri leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs. Jiyong was about to kill him but Anna came over with her crutches, limping over to them..

 

“ What's going on?” She sat on the empty space beside Seungri.. looking at the two boys.

 

“ Nothing.. I just missed you baby..” He leaned in and placed his head on her shoulder.. She lifted his head off her shoulder and looked at him weirdly..

 

“ Why are you acting so weird today?” Anna continued to look at him weirdly.

 

“ Nothing.. As I say, I miss you,” he tried to keep his laughter when he saw his leader rolled his eyes at him..

 

“ What do you want?” Anna suspected that he needed something from her and that was why he was acting weird and sweet towards her. Does this mean that he needed a favour? That was normally the case.

 

“ I want to know if my baby’s leg still hurt.” Seungri started being very sweet towards her just to make Jiyong jealous so he could start the ball rolling so that his leader can stop this one sided love and enter a relationship with her but Anna didn’t know all these, she just look at him and thinks that he was just being really weird today.

 

“ Darling, don't look at me like that.. I'm just concerned about you. That’s all..” He couldn't help but smile when he turned his head and see the leader clenched his fist and his jawline tightened, so sharp that it could give you paper cuts..

 

“ I’m fine.. What is wrong with you today?” She started to feel a little creeped out now.. He was normally playful but not till this extend..

 

“ That's good.. How about you give me a kiss.” He made a nonsensical request as he tilted his head so that his cheek would be facing her directly. Her eyes widened a little by the sudden request, he just sat there pointing his cheeks towards the sky, waiting for Anna response but the leader responded instead..

 

“ Okay! Enough…” Jiyong slammed his hand on the armrest as he stood up and yanked Seungri up from the sofa.

 

“ See Anna! Someone is jealous!” He pointed to Jiyong who was now staring at him with a death glare..

 

“ You should really consider about him.. He is a good guy and he is always so concerned about you…” Seungri continued, even though he was being pulled by Jiyong, into Anna’s bedroom. When Jiyong had successfully pulled Seungri into Anna’s bedroom, he closed the door behind him. Anna was left there alone, speechless as she looked at the direction that both guys disappeared to. Oh my goodness, what just happened?

 

“ Seungri!” Jiyong raises his voice at him but Seungri simply lift up both his hand signaling that he surrender..

 

“ Okay okay.. I won’t disturb anymore!” Seungri pressed his lips together. His leader had that fire in his eyes again. He knew he had to shut up before Anna’s apartment becomes a crime scene.

 

Shirley..

 

“ I'll be back…” Shirley walked to the ladies with her handphone that was vibrating in her hands. She fastened her pace to the ladies, answering the device.

 

“ What do you want?!” She whispered loudly into the phone.. She was afraid that TOP could hear her from outside but at the same time she was annoyed and frustrated with the person from the other line..

 

“ Meet me now.. At our old place…” The guy on the other line spoke...

 

“ Stop bothering me!” He was getting on her nerves.

 

“ Just meet me once... Please.. I won’t disturb you again,” He pleaded..

 

“ I’m just asking for one time.. If you don’t meet with me, I’ll keep calling.” He added, when she kept silence from his request, earning a sigh from her..

 

“ Fine..” She disconnected the call and walked out of the ladies towards the photoshoot area..

 

Who’s that guy?

“ Honey.. I have something on... I'll meet you back home okay?” Luckily the couple have finished their wedding photoshoot, Shirley and TOP has already changed back into their outfit. Shirley wanted to relax but that was when her phone rang and she had to excuse herself to the ladies..

 

“ I need to go too..” He stood up from the sofa. She quickly plant a kiss on his lips, smiling after she released herself from him. She took her purse and left the shop.. She quickly got into her car and drove off to their old place, as what the guy on the other line mentioned.

 

The meetup..

 

“ What do you want?" Shirley walked up to the guy that was leaning against the railing as he faced the waters.. He immediately turned and smiled when he saw her..

 

“ How are you feeling?” He looked down to scan at her belly, placing his hands on it but Shirley slapped his hands away.

 

“ Don't touch me..” She moved a little further away from him..

 

“ Why can’t I? That's my baby too!” He took a step closer to her but she folded her hands and looked away from him..

 

“ Come back to me alright baby?” he looked at her earnestly but Shirley turned to face him sternly.

 

“ Look.. I'm getting married in a few days.. Stop disturbing me..” She was about to leave when he stopped her by standing in front of her..

 

“ Don't you want our baby to have a real complete family?” He asked her..

 

“ TOP still thinks that I am having his baby and I would prefer that it’s maintained this way and my baby will call him daddy.. So please don't interfere in our lives…” She moved away from him, walking towards her car..

 

“ I won't give up!” He shouted at Shirley but she just ignored.. When her car drove off, he smirked. You will come back to me no matter what.

 

Anna’s apartment ..

 

Anna turned towards the door when she heard her doorbell rang. She stood up slowly with her crutches, limping her way to the door.. It has not been 15 minutes since Jiyong left.. He must have forgotten to take something, She smiled to herself as she opened the door, but her smile faded the moment she saw her ex-boyfriend standing there..

 

“ Hey Anna, how’s your leg? How’s your hand? Are you feeling better?” He was very concerned about her but he couldn’t help but feel awkward the moment he had pour out all his questions to her.

 

“ I'm fine now.. Thank you.” She limped her way to the sofa, plotting herself on the nearest seat on the sofa. TOP had entered her house, closing the door behind him as he sat beside her, worried yet awkward

 

“ I'm really fine..” She reassured him once more..

 

“ Silly…” He stopped at that word. She looked at him with a frown..

 

“ What?” She asked.. Why did he stop half way?

 

“ Silly girl.. Why did you dash out to save me?” This was when their eyes met for the second time that night.. Her breath hitched and her heart skipped a beat. Oh, that feeling.. That weird feeling where the brain produces oxytocin but she quickly look away..

 

“ I .. Don't know.. I didn't think that much…” She shrugged as she took a deep breath to calm her heart rate... He held both of her hands in his, but she moved it away at the slightest touch..

 

“ Your wedding is in a weeks’ time.. You must be really busy.” She tried to change the topic, reminding him that he was about to be a married man. This was to remind herself as well..

 

“ Yeah..” He replied while looking down..

 

“ Take care of your child.. Give your baby a happy family..” She forced herself to smile even though she was crying inside..

 

“ Anna..” He wanted so much to pull her in his arms for a hug but he knew that it would just hurt her even more. It really wasn’t the best idea to hug her now.

 

“ Don't look for me like this ever again.. I don't want misunderstandings..” She lifted up her left wrist, showing that every time his future wife misunderstands her, she gets hurt, physically. He was about to speak but she cut him off..

 

“ Oppa.. I'm tired now.. Please leave..” She stood up with her crutches, limping her way to the door, wanting to open the door for him but he caught her off guard. He hugged her from behind. Of course she yelled and struggled but he just ignored.. Her tears rolling down her cheeks automatically. Once she felt tired, her struggle naturally faded. He released her slightly and turned her around, making her face him, his arms still not releasing her. He pulled her head to his chest, allowing his shirt to absorb her tears. He caresses the back of her head, bending down to kissed the top of her head. The moment she felt that, she started sobbing even more. TOP was better at controlling his tears, whenever he felt his tears coming, he would try to blink them away.. This was killing her, it was slowly killing her. His scent, his hug. Damn it.. It took awhile for her sobs to fade, slowly releasing her..

 

“ Go home..” She limped her way to the door opening it for him. Please just leave. She had to blink away the leftover tears that was still lingering in her eyes. This time, he really did. He left..

 

The moment she closed the door, more tears started to pour down her cheeks. She used her right hand to cover , silently sobbing her sorrows out.. Oh it hurts, that hurts so much. Stupid man, why did he have to come tonight? Why did he have to make it so difficult for her? It took a few minutes to get back to her senses, she used the back of her hand to wipe those meaningless tears away. She used her crutches to limp her way back to the sofa hugging the nearest pillow, but realised a smartphone laying there. She slowly picked it up, examining it for a few seconds to realize that it was TOP’s..

 

“ Stupid man!” Anna took the phone and stood up. Should I find him? Once he notices his phone is missing, he will come back to take it right? What if he needs it for work? Different thoughts and questions started flooding her mind but she ended up deciding to follow her heart instead. She took her crutches, limping out of her house. She looked around, limping further and further.. She then spotted that his Black BMW was still parked near her house, which means he was still around the neighbourhood. Where could he be? She continued limping her way further passing by a dark alley. There were only a few street lights around the area, she couldn’t really see what was going. She stopped when she heard voices and noises but she couldn’t make it out. She was startled when she heard punching and hitting noises followed by a man grunting.

 

This is something she probably shouldn’t do but the grunting sounded familiar. She turned and limped in the dark alley to notice four men standing around another man who was on the ground.

 

“ Hey I hear somebody coming.. This should do the trick. Let's go..” one of them said and they left, leaving the injured man on the ground. She slowly limped her way towards the injured man..

 

“ Sir? Do you need help?” She spoke but the man didn’t reply, he was on his side as he lay on the ground, still grunting in pain. Why does his back view look so familiar? She bends down to touch his arm, slowly turning him over. She gasped when she saw that it was TOP, face full of injury. Open wounds and bruises.. He was on the floor, coughing and grunting. He really looked like he was in a lot of pain..

 

“ OH MY GOODNESS!” She threw her crutches and phone on the floor, kneeling down beside him.. His face and arms were bleeding, this caused her to panic.

 

“ OPPA! WHAT HAPPENED?!” She used her right hand to touch his body, nudging him softly, trying to get his attention but soon realize her right hand was wet. She took a closer look at her own hand to realize her hand was full of blood.

 

TOP?!

 

“ OPPA! Don't scare me please!” She was panicking! She didn’t know what to do..

 

“ What do I do?! What do I do?!” She was practically talking to herself. She was panicking. Really panicking..

 

“ Phone.. phone..” She used her hand that was full of blood, cleaning on her dress before picking up his smartphone, calling the ambulance.

 

“ Oppa! Listen to me.. The ambulance will be coming very soon.. You must hold on!” She didn’t even dare to touch him. She was afraid she might accidentally injure him even more.

 

“ I'm... V-very cold..” He managed to whisper out those words but she was able to make it out..

 

“ Cold? You are cold?!” She repeated his words nervously. She wasn’t wearing any jacket tonight! What is she supposed to do? Take off her shirt? What can I do? What can I do? This girl really wasn’t thinking, she was really panicking. She did the first thing that came to her mind. She sat down beside his head and hugged him, hopefully she can give some body warmth to him.

 

“ An-Anna.. Don't.. Leave.. Me..” He mumbled under his breath and coughed when he was done saying what he wanted to say. Anna heard him clearly.

 

“ I won't.. I won’t.. I'll be by your side…” She reassured him and that was when she noticed he was closing his eyes.

 

“ TOP oppa! Don’t sleep..” She lightly slapped his face but he seemed to be unconscious now.. Oh ..

 

“ You can’t leave me either.. You hear me?!” She raised her voice at the unconscious man as she shakes him, in an attempt to keep him awake. A tear trickled down her cheek.

 

“ I love you..”

 

Yup. She really wasn’t thinking much.
