Chapter 29

Not Just Medicine

Panchali

I rang the doorbell of Suho's house and sighed. I felt limp. Walking all the way to his house hadn't been fun. Kai had stranded me and I couldn't for the life of me find another means of transport. 

My head was buzzing with the events that had transpired in the past few hours. Had Kai really told me he loved me? Had he really kissed me? I touched my lips and softly rubbed them once. For some reason I stared at my fingers, the fingers he had been holding. My eyes felt droopy and I rang the doorbell once again. 

What was with Kai? Why did he always have to be like this? Couldn't he wait for me to answer? I instantly stopped fidgeting. What WAS my answer? DID I like him? I frowned and closed my eyes, massaging my forehead as I banged on the door and called out, annoyed, "SUHO!" 

"Coming!" came a little voice from inside and the door was unlocked. 

A small face peeked from behind the door and peered at me with big brown eyes before bursting into a grin.

"Panchali unnie!" Sumin sang and raised her arms for me to pick her up.

I was too tired but her glowing face gave me enough energy to grin at her and pick her up, while closing the door behind me.

Twirling her around, I softly kissed her head once and saw Suho emerge out of the bathroom. His hair was wet and droplets of water ran down his face, making his shirt wet. His sleeves were rolled up to show toned muscles and he carried a sling bag. His hair was messy and his face looked even worse. He seemed really worried.

"Suho?" I asked and he noticed me finally.

"Panchali!" he said, his face brightening up a little. He ran towards me as I set Sumin down and pulled me into a hug.

"Thank you so much! I was so worried you wouldn't come!" he said, impulsively kissing my cheek before picking Sumin up.

I stood frozen but he didn't seem to realize my predicament or the fact that he had just kissed my cheek and I wasn't exactly okay. My face was burning. The wet droplets from his face had been shifted to my cheek and they felt very cool against my hot cheek. 

I breathed out slowly, trying to stabilize myself as I heard Suho talking to Sumin, "Now Sumin will be a very good girl and make appa proud okay? She won't trouble Panchali unnie at all and will always listen to her. You won't make a mess and trouble her right? Or she won't ever come again and appa will also be very upset."

He made pouty faces and fluffed up his cheeks as he took her small hands in his and kissed them before putting her back on the floor. 

"Appa will be back soon okay?" he said as she softly kissed his cheek and waved at him.

"Bai bai appa!" she said and grinned which instantly brought a smile to Suho's face. I could almost see the love radiating from his face.

I wondered instantly if my father had ever looked at me like that.

Gulping noisily I looked away and Suho looked at me and patted my shoulder once before opening the door.

"I'll be back by tomorrow evening I presume. But it could be the morning day after too. Tomorrow, could you just drop her to school? Her teacher will take care of her in the evening. Just bring her back when you're done with the hospital please? I can't tell you how much I appreciate this Panchali.

I nodded and smiled at him.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of her. You go manage your business. Bye!" I said and waved as he backed away through the door and went down the corridor, rounding the corner and disappearing from my sight.

I breathed out and turned, securely locking the door.

Then I bent down to Sumin's level.

"So now we'll go to sleep neh Sumin ah?" I asked her.

"Okay!" she grinned at me and took my hand in hers, pulling me along to the bedroom.

I chuckled and kicked off my shoes and pulled off my jacket as she hopped onto the bed and got under the covers, pulling them over her.

Lifting the covers slowly I got inside them and cuddled beside her.

She instantly snuggled up to my chest and said cutely "You're warm..." 

I smiled at her and put my arms around her, patting her head.

"Sleep sleep," I said "Good night Sumin!" 

"Good night..." she mumbled, half asleep, "Omma..."

My eyes widened and I blinked as I looked down to her.

I suddenly felt very awkward. What was I doing in Suho's house? Who was I to Suho? 

As if on cue, Kai's face appeared in my mind and I mentally hit myself over the head with a brick multiple times. Why think of him now? Stare at Sumin and look at how cute she is. 

Come to think of it, she does look so much like Suho. His eyes, his bright smile. I wonder what he looked like as a baby. Thinking of him as a baby brought a smile to my face but suddenly I remembered the sensation of Kai's lips on mine again and I felt a weird sensation in my chest. Something like butterflies. I felt like... jelly. So much jelly.

But what did I feel about him? I hadn't had any serious crushes ever. Just puppy love. what was this that I felt for Kai? I knew I was strangely attracted to him but what was this sensation called. Was it... love? I shivered at the four letter word. I was the most unromantic person in the world. Could it be that I, social outcast and ab-loving weirdo, Panchali Cho, had fallen in love? With greek body possessing awesome guy Kai? 

Thoughts of babies and marriage rushed through my mind and I instantly pushed them away. But... man his abs. I wonder how they feel... YAH PANCHALI! You're curled up next to a baby! Don't pollute her mind! 

I sighed. Internal battles are the worst. 

Looking at the sleeping Sumin, I pouted. You have such a good appa Sumin. But I wonder who you'll have the birds and bees talk with... Meh. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

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
