Chapter 15

Not Just Medicine

 

Panchali’s POV

I yawned wheeling my bags out slowly.

Though I had recovered from the fever I was still a little weak.

We had landed in Seoul and were on our way back to the hospital. I sighed deeply and flexed my back.

Sheesh this had been a weird week.

“Can I help?” I heard a gentle voice behind me and turned to see Suho.

I smiled at him and shook my head “No its all right. I’ll manage.”

He gave me a dazzling smile and fell into step beside me.

“Feeling better?” He asked.

“Much! And its all thanks to you.” I grinned at him.

We had reached the end of the terminal where our families was waiting for us. My parents of course were not.

“Okay people!” Dr. Komal said “You’ve all done well and as per protocol you will all be getting one day off. That is tomorrow. You can chill and relax. Good job done there!”

We all nodded and Dr. Komal waved to a man waiting for her and disappeared into the crowd with him.

“I’ll see you later okay Panchali? Take care.” Suho said absentmindedly scanning the crowd.

Before I could say anything he’d dashed off and disappeared.

Diksha was also frantically searching the crowd when we all heard a voice and turned “DIKSHA!”

It was Donghae and he was running towards us.

Diksha unnie sprang towards him and he embraced her, picking her slightly up from the ground.

“Oh god thank god you’re safe!” Donghae gasped, kissing her on the lips.

He stopped as soon as Minah bounced over.

“Mumma!” she said, raising two short arms towards her mother.

Diksha picked her up and hugged her tightly, kissing her on her cheek.

She seemed to be glowing, Diksha that is.

I smiled. Minah was a very lucky kid. Her parents hugged her and cuddled her. They cared how she was and if she’d missed them. They knew her needs. They didn’t want her hurt. They would protect her.

I was lost in my own thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder

“Hey Panchali!” It was Chanyeol.

I looked up at him and blinked.

“Say we’re all free so I was wondering if you’d like to come to a club with us?”

“I’m not coming. I have to study.” Luhan said plainly and walked away.

“So its just the three of us. Wanna come?” Chanyeol asked.

Club.

I hadn’t ever been to a club before.

New experience!

“Sure!” I said without thinking.

“Okay see you in the evening.”Chanyeol said and backed away towards Kai.

I waved as both of them left.

Kai… he hadn’t said anything to me in like a week. He always acted so weird. Meh. Must be nothing.

I looked around to find that I was completely alone. Or so I thought.

As soon as they left I heard a loud voice behind me “PANCHALI!”

It was Kyungsan.

My speed of running at that moment would’ve easily beaten Usain Bolt.

Kai’s POV

“Yah Chanyeol! Why did you invite her to go to a club with us?! She’s a kid. We’ll have to take care of her. Did you see how excited she was? She’s never been to a club I’m telling you.” I complained as we sat at a restaurant.

“You have fun. I’ll take care of her. She’s very funny.” Chanyeol said and grinned.

I wanted to maul his face in the pasta he was eating.

I closed my eyes to control myself.

“Fine. See if I care.” I crossed my arms and sat back.

“Mmhmm.” Chanyeol nodded and looked at me strangely.

Panchali’s POV

I heard my phone ringing and slammed a pillow on my head. Who dare disturb my intelligent sleep (what?! People can have beauty sleep so I can’t have intelligent sleep? Sheesh).

“URGH.” I yelled as it rang again and I reached out for it, pushing various things in the process.

Putting it to my ear, I yelled “HALLO?!”

“I’ve been standing outside your door for five minutes.” It was Luhan.

“Oh sorry. Wait!” I shot out of bed and opened the door.

Sure enough, Luhan was standing there in all his glory, with a very annoyed expression.

“What happened?” I asked him.

“You left a sock in my bag.” He said holding up one sock of mine.

I grabbed it and thanked him, then yawned.

I was about to close the door when he said “What are you wearing to that club?”

“Huh?” I asked, rubbing my eyes.

I looked down at my blue jeans and faded off shoulder grey shirt.

“This?” I said, innocently.

His forehead instantly met his palm.

“You are so clueless.” He said, entering my room.

I grumbled and closed the door behind him.

“What do you suggest I wear?” I asked.

He opened my closet calmly and started sifting through my clothes.

“Gosh you do not have nice clothes.” He said and grumbled.

I mumbled and sat on the bed trying to settle my bed hair.

Luhan continued to search and I ended up lying down on the bed.

“A-HA!” he said suddenly and pulled out a dress, grinning widely.

I would have been enchanted by his smile if I hadn’t been so appalled by what he was thinking of making me wear.

It was a dress, firstly and don’t get me wrong I like me my dresses.

But this particular one had been gifted to me by Kyungsan and it reached my thighs.

I loved dresses that reached my knees but not this.

It was a spaghetti midnight blue dress with a silky creamy belt around the torso. 

And it was made of that weird clingy material.

I almost laughed thinking how I would look in it.

And then Luhan pulled out these 5 inch heels.

And I love me my heels, don’t get me wrong but the maximum I had ever worn were 4 inch heels.

“I can’t walk in those!” I gasped.

Luhan gave me a cold expression and practically shoved me into the bathroom.

“No!” I said as he locked it from outside.

“If you don’t wear it you can stay in there forever!” he said.

I grumbled and decided to sacrifice myself.

I put on the flimsy black dress and didn’t even dare to look at myself in the mirror. It was too darn embarrassing.

“I wore it!” I called out and heard Luhan unlock the door.

I stepped out, blushing and heard him gasp.

“Yeah okay okay. I told you I won’t look good in this.”

“SHUT UP!” he said and turned me to face the mirror.

I really couldn’t see anything good about what I say but he forced me to sit in front of the mirror and proceeded to force peanut butter and paint a.k.a ‘make up’ on my face.

I told him to stop but he would shush me every single time.

Ultimate result being when I looked in the mirror I couldn’t recognize myself.

My eyelashes were accentuated. My lips seemed poutier than usual. My cheeks seemed to glow.

“Did you do some surprise surgery on me? Because I’m not a fan of plastic surgery.” I said narrowing my eyes at my reflection.

He grinned at me and clapped his hands “YOU LOOK SO GOOD!”

I grimaced and grabbed a bag, putting all my stuff inside it.

Kai’s POV

“Are you sure that idiot won’t get lost?” I said leaning against the bar, causally.

“I hope not.” Chanyeol said, sipping on his drink.

I swiveled back towards the counter when I heard Chanyeol draw in a sharp breath.

“Dude dude dude dude dude dude dude.“ he said poking me.

“What?!” I looked up at him, annoyed.

He pointed across the club towards the door.

A girl in a midnight blue dress was entering. It wasn’t ty and too short but it reached her mid thighs and was just the perfect amount of y.

Her open hair cascaded to the middle of her back and I was jealous of those locks that were so close to her.  

Her lips were just the perfect amount of pouty. They looked as kissable as ever.

Her eyes fluttered in slow motion as she looked around and then she looked straight at me, and waved.

And then it hit me that this was Panchali.

My jaw reached the floor, then dug a pit and went underground.

She smiled and bounded over to us happily.

I reached out and covered Chanyeol’s eyes but he instantly slapped my hand away. What a sicko.

She walked over and gave us a big smile “Hey guys!”

Both of us didn’t say anything and she clearly became uncomfortable as she looked away and started to lower the hem of the dress.

“Chanyeol,” I whirled and said “Go do some dancing.”

“What the-“ he was saying but I shoved him into the crowd.

I cleared my throat and turned back to Panchali.

“Hey umm… sit!” I said and motioned to the empty seat beside me.

“What would you like?” The bartender asked her.

“Erm anything.” She said, innocently.

“Shots?” he asked.

“Shots?” she gave me a quizzical look.

“Solid alcoholic drink. Can you handle them?” I asked her.

“How hard can it be?” she said and the bartender poured both of us a shot.

“Bottoms up!” I said and took the shot.

She raised it to and drained it too.

Then she made a terrible face. The kind kids make when they get a bitter medicine.

She swallowed it somehow and looked at me “WHY would you drink this!? Its HORRID!”

I laughed and said “I thought you could handle them.”

“I can!” she said and drained one more shot.

And then another.

She was four shots down when I grabbed the fifth from her.

“Okay enough!” I said and she whined and tried to grab it from me.

“You’re drunk!” I told her and she shook her head.

“I am not drunk!” she said in a husky voice and leaned in close to me.

I glared at her and then decided to drain the shot myself.

I took it down at once and grimaced.

“YOU STOLE MY SHOT!” she said and looked at me with huge eyes.

“Yes. What will you do?” I mocked her.

She seemed to be contemplating for a second.

“Take it back.” She said and pulled me by the collar, pressing her lips against mine.

My eyes widened and I was shocked for a second but when she didn’t let go I cupped her face and pulled her closer.

I could vaguely hear DJ Got us Falling in Love Again in the background as she ran her hands through my hair and pulled me closer.

My hands wrapped around her waist, closing the distance between us.

Only when both of us had run out of breath did she let me go and breathed “Kai…”

I wanted to do something wrong to her then and there.

Panchali’s POV

I woke up murmuring.

My mouth was parched and my head was splitting. I shook my head and felt a wave of nausea pass over me.

“Ugh.” I said getting up, raising my hands to my head.

The sun was streaming in through the window and my eyes took a minute to adjust.

“Mmh.” I grimaced and glanced around the room.

The walls seemed to have changed colour over the night.

Huh? Walls changed colour?

My eyes widened to notice red walls and strange surroundings.

Where the hell am I?!

Then the last night started coming back to me.

I turned my head to the side and my eyes widened in shock.

Lying beside me, without a shirt on, fast asleep, was Kai.

BWOH? Brother?! Chanyeol-ah has a brother, what's wrong

*biting nails

Chapter 34: I really really really don't like Panchali's father! There is a limit to forcing your child to succumb to your will. And how dare he insult Kai?! With what right?! Kai took care of Panchali when he should have been there for her! Kai gave Panchali love and care while all he did was force a stupid marriage on her.

God I'm just really angry at him.

But some part of me hopes that when he froze, he felt a bit sad or shocked on hearing those words from his only daughter's mouth. So much unresolved family drama here.

And oh my god, chanyeol is such a brat. He thought I'd do what now?! Good thing he didn't open his mouth. I would have turned a bit violent. Idiot. And there comes another twist in the tale! A brother! Kumbh ke mele mein khoya hua bhai. I bet you. :P

Chapter 34: Hi :D glad you updated when I checked :D

I'm really enjoying Panchali's character development and her relationship with her...oh wait, no...that :/ I also see your writing style developing and the addition of description to it.

Chanyeol seems to have some serious family problems and I hope he does get better.

Chapter 32: WHOAAAAA!
This is daebak. It had a touch of so many things, in the most wonderful way possible. The transition from one scene to another and the atmosphere's changing was really good :D

Keep it up dragon warrior
