"Does It Hurt?"

Our Ghostly Cupids

Zico did not reply to Hara's texts. He put his phone on silent and slept the rest of the day. Until P.O came shaking him, waking him up.

"Hyung! Wake up!" the maknae carefully shakes his hyung.

Zico groans and covered himself with the sheets.

"WAKE UP! WE'RE GOING TO MEET NOONA!" P.O's deep voice shouted so loud Zico can't force himself to sleep again.

He removed his sheets irritably and gave the maknae a death glare.

"Yah! Michyeosseo (are you crazy)?! You wanna die?!" Zico stood up and tackled his dongsaeng on the bed. He twisted his knuckles on P.O's head and took his neck on his other arm.

"Give up! Give up!" P.O taps out. Zico released him and smirked.

"Why are you so loud this early?" Zico laidback on his bed.

"We're guesting on Hara noona's program again!" The maknae smiled widely in excitement.

Zico instantly got up and said.

"Mwo(what)? I don't recall agreeing on that."

"B-Bomb hyung had arranged everything. We received the email this morning."

"Aish! What time are we leaving?" Zico scratched his head.

"We'll leave in 15 minutes." P.O glanced at his watch.

"15 minutes?!"

---------------------------

The boys reached the studio a minute late.

They entered the booth during Hara's segment where she reads her listeners comments. She motioned them to take their seats as she continues with the program.

"Sometimes I wish I can go back in time just to fix everything that happened. Maybe she never left me."

Hara read one of the comments.

Daniel and Sulli looks at Hara and Zico.

"You know, I believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe you needed some time apart to know how much you mean for each other. And if your love is true, it will always find its way to you." Hara advised and played a sentimental background. She then caught Zico's gaze which made her blush. Zico looked away while Hara felt a tingle on her head. She knits her brows and Daniel noticed this.

Zico saw when Daniel checked on her. He was about to check on her too when U-Kwon stood and knocked on the glass dividing them to call her attention.

U-Kwon raised his thumb, asking if she was okay and she replied with an okay sign.

"On a lighter note. Everyone, I have a good news!" Hara cheered up since she has to continue with the program.

"I know you guys have been requesting to hear from this handsome group of boys again!" The background music changed onto an upbeat tone.

"Did you miss them? I know I missed them. Give it up to Block B!" She pressed the clapping button.

The boys' spirits uplifted when they heard her say she missed them.

"Ayo! Do you wanna be? Block B! Annyeong haseyo!" They greeted in unison.

"Waaah. We have so much energy tonight. I love it!"

Hara proceeded with the rest of the program. This time the mood was much lighter. They were evidently enjoying each other's company.

Zico, just like how he was yesterday, was professional enough during the whole time that Hara was interviewing them.

They were all laughing and having a good time. It felt like how they used to laugh around back then.

Hara's heart was happy. She had been a jolly person for the past year, but when she was with them, she was at her happiest. She didn't hold back and laughed at every funny scenes during their conversation.

The producer had to knock on their booth, signaling that they are already overtime.

"Aigoo. I didn't notice the time. Sadly this ends our program for this day."

The boys whined. They were having a blast, but it had to end so soon.

"I hope everyone enjoyed tonight's episode. We all had fun!"

"Yes. We really had fun." The boys agreed.

"Once again, thank you Block B for accepting our invitation. It's a pleasure to have you in our program.

Everyone! This has been your DJ Wendy saying, you don't see me but you can feel me. Goodnight!" Hara ends the broadcast.

"That's a wrap!" She announced and everyone clapped.

"Wendy-ssi! We made it! We made high ratings!" PD-nim shakes Hara as soon as she stopped airing.

"Really! Waaah! Daebak!!" She was happy.

"Thank you guys for coming!" The PD and Hara bowed thanks.

"Please follow me for your talent fees." The PD gestures.

Zico pushed Kyung as instructions to get their payment as a representative.

"Zico-ssi. Thank you for accepting our request." Hara went to his side.

Daniel and Sulli were just watching at them.

*Did she took his number to personally invite him back?* U-Kwon thought while looking at the two.

"It was B-Bomb hyung who accepted your invitation." He replied not looking at her.

"Ah yeah. It was me." B-Bomb spoke.

"Whoever did, I'm glad you came." She smiled at Zico.

"Thank you again. I had a lot more fun today." She turns to the rest.

"We all did too." U-Kwon replied.

"Hyung, I got it!" Kyung came forwards, holding their payment.

"Should we go for some barbecue?" He suggested.

"Leader?" Jaehyo asks for approval.

"Sure. Let's go." Zico wanted to leave already. He was trying his best not to be around Hara anymore.

"Noona you should come!" P.O invited.

"Yeah. Let's all go together!" U-Kwon seconded.

Hara was now sandwiched between him and the maknae.

"Zico?" TaeIl called, as if asking if he agrees.

"Whatever." He replied shortly.

P.O jumped up and down while tugging Hara's sweatshirt.

"Let's go!" He enthusiastically walks while U-Kwon shrugged, facing Hara.

Byunghun happens to be busy with his hospital duties too that's why he couldn't pick up Hara. She then called the cafe to excuse her for the day.

Hara sat on the most back of the van with P.O and U-Kwon beside her. Zico was again sitted beside the driver seat. He takes glances of them behind using the rear mirror.

P.O's grin was plastered on his face. He was very happy to be able to sit beside Hara again.

"Yah! She might get uncomfortable if you keep staring at her like that." Kyung said. He was sitted in the middle on the van.

But in reality, even him, Jaehyo, TaeIl and even B-Bomb from the driver seat were all taking glances at her.

When all eyes were on her, she spoke.

"Is this the part where you kill me?" She made a face.

Everyone laughed, even Zico couldn't help but let out a chuckle which he quickly covered up through a cough.

Hara, together with Block B boys and the two ghosts tagging along, entered the restaurant where the air was filled with the smell of grilled meat.

They all took a seat and ordered their food.

Jaehyo and TaeIl were cooking their meat in both ends of the table.

Their sitting arrangement was like this

Jaehyo Zico P.O Kyung

U-Kwon Hara B-Bomb TaeIl 

Hara was very well taken care of Block B boys. They were serving her well, giving her food on her plate.

Since she was the only girl on their table, (and since she's surrounded by good looking hot men) other customers couldn't help but stare. Some of which were a group of three girls that were giving flirty looks at them.

Hara's filled with food when she saw the girl on the next table slightly raising her skirt and looking at Zico's direction.

She choked and coughed. The food on splattered on Zico's face who was sitting right across her. Her eyes burst open when she saw Zico's closed his eyes and holding a tight grip on his chopsticks. His face couldn't be explained.

Hara instantly got up and pulled a lot of napkin to wipe his face with.

"Ommo! I'm so sorry!" She overdone it a bit and didn't notice she placed her hand on a newly grilled meat.

She winced. All of them quickly reacted. They all stood up from their seats and offered her help.

Hara looked at each of them which all had worried faces. It was an awkward three second of scanning each of their faces when P.O flinched when he accidentally cut himself on the sharp edge of his knife.

Hara instinctively grabbed his arm and stopped the bleeding by using a napkin and putting pressure on his bleeding hand.

The boys were all exchanging looks.

It's as if they traveled back in the past. They were all thinking of the same thing. That this scene was almost identical to when they first met Hara and the maknae got a cut on his finger when slicing some fruits.

"Wait. I think I have a plaster in my bag." She searched for her bag.

She cleaned the blood until there was only a slight amount before she stick it up with the plaster.

"There you go."

"Noona." P.O called in the verge of crying.

"Wae? Wae? Does it hurt?" She took his hand again.

"Andwae (no)." He sniffs and wiped his tears.

"He's okay." Kyung patted the maknae's shoulders and pulled him down to sit.

U-Kwon then took Hara's hand which got a light burn.

"You're worrying about other people when you are hurt too." U-Kwon sighed and gently blew her hands to cool it down.

Hara blushed at his gentleness. While Zico chooses to look away. He met eyes with the girls beside their table.

The girls were giving him flirtatious looks. He then stood and casually sat with them.

"Mind if I join you?" He said, full of iness while running his thumb on his lips.

The girls didn't have to think twice. They made him some space and gave him liquor.

Hara was just following him with her eyes, and U-Kwon clearly sees this.

B-Bomb shook his head and motioned Kyung and Jaehyo to go with Zico.

This isn't surprising to them because ever since Hara left, Zico's acting like how he used to before. He entertains girls again and drinks with them to the point where the boys would drag him on their way home.

Kyung and Jaehyo stepped in and joined Zico with the other girls. They needed to join them cause if not, he'd end up drinking pass his limits again.

Hara's eyes were fixed on him and how he acts around the girl he was sitting with. She suddenly saw images. It was her first day as his bodyguard. When they went to a japanese restaurant and Zico flirted with girls, just like how he is doing now.

She had to shake her head due to the sudden appearance of blurry images. Her head started to hurt.

*Was that Byunghun oppa? Ani. It's someone else. But who is it?* she thought.

"Noona are you okay?" P.O asked. U-Kwon turned to her and saw she was holding her head.

"I'm okay. It's just my headache is acting up again." She blinked a couple of times.

"Do you want me to take you home?" U-Kwon asks.

"No. You guys should stay. I'll call Byunghun oppa to pick me up." She took her phone and dialed his number.
