"Lee Changhyuk..."
Yes, it was GreenEast youngest member!
Feeling perplexed was probably an understatement. Her heart was beating fast, all of the sharp pain suddenly left her body. She could not believe that she was hiding with one of the hottest men in the continent! She didn't even want to imagine the amount of hates she would get if people found out about this.
Through his thick lashes, he could recognize the figure who just saved his life. He saw her at the hotel Saint Lazarus saving a stray kitten.
"Mi.. ru. ku.. (1)"
"Eh?"
"A.. ri. ga.. to. (2)"
His voice snapped her back from dreamland. All of GreenEast members were fluent in Japanese that's because they held a lot of activities in Japan.
'Milk? He wants some milk? Is he thirsty?' She asked herself inwardly.
What should she do? She could still hear people hitting each other so she had no choice other than to hide.
She forced a smile and nodded her head.
"I will buy a lot of milk for you once we're out of this situation. I promise."
Ah-choo!
She sneezed.
She glanced at her watch. It was 2am, no wonder the temperature dropped. She took out the oversized yellow hoodie that she kept in her bag then wrapped it around her body and Lee Changhyuk's. 2 minutes later, she fell asleep.
...
The sound of sirene pierced her eardrums, forcing her to open her eyes slowly. She lowered her lashes to check the time. It was almost 4am.
She put her gaze on the famous figure on her lap, Lee Changhyuk was laying quietly with eyes closed. His face was pale, his eyelids darkened, there was a long cut on his dry lips.
Noticing that his chest wasn't moving up and down- she placed a finger in front of his perfect nose. She could barely feel his breath.
She heard people with bad injuries were more likely to pass during their sleep. Fear clouded her head and she started trembling. She carefully placed his head on the bag and limped towards the sirene sound.
"Help! Please help!" She screamed in English.
An ambulance approached her then took her and Lee Changhyuk to the hospital.
"Is he going to be okay?" Shizu asked in English.
"We have to examine him for the internal injuries. Madame, I saw you limping. Please take off your shoes." The medical attendant replied in Korean.
Shizu had no idea what the guy in front of her was talking about until another medical attendant took her foot gently and started to remove her boots. Her ankle was swollen and all purple. The pain that was missing suddenly reappeared and tortured her. She bite her lower lip and beads of tears started flowing down from her eyes.
Shizu and Lee Changhyuk were taken to the emergency room. The latter had to be hospitalized for a couple of days for further examination whereas Shizu could get out of the hospital on the same day after having her leg casted.
----
After having her ankle treated she took the elevator then headed back to Lee Changhyuk's room. She glanced at her watch, it was 11am. She was hesitating for a while before she finally knocked and entered the room.
Lee Changhyuk was alone in that room, asleep. There was no dirt on his gorgeous face, his head was bandaged.
Shizu grabbed a chair then sat next to him. She could see his chest slowly move up and down and it released her shoulders from the heavy worriness that burdenned her throughout the day.
A sense of relief slipped into her chest, her breath was lighter and her mind got clearer. She suddenly felt tired, she didn't get any sleep during her treatment due to the intense pain but now her lids turned very heavy. She fell asleep.
A few minutes later Lee Changhyuk opened his eyes and found a small familiar figure sleeping soundly. Her head peacefully rested on the bed.
His vision was still unclear as he was still under medicine. He narrowed his eyes to get a clear view on her face but his head got the better of him and started stinging so he shut his eyes closed and gave up.
She looked so down in the elevator and very worried during their hiding. Now he failed to see her face from up close but the corners of his lips curled up. Her sleeping presence alone was soothing, what would she look like if she smiled?
He lifted his fingers and caressed her head softly before he got completely defeated by the drugs and fell asleep.
....
"Changhyuk!" Kim Yoonjae shouted as he slammed the door open. He was out of breath because he was running like a thunderbolt to Lee Changhyuk's room. The youngest member was like a little brother to him.
"Changhyukie, are you okay?" His voice penetrated her ears, forcing her to open her eyes.
Shizu rose her head, she could feel the gush of hot blood gathering on her snowy cheeks as she saw the person in front of her.
He was the guy who ranked #1 The 100 Most Handsome Faces in the World 3 years in a row, Kim Yoonjae.
Unlike the magnae (3) Lee Changhyuk who emitted a bad boy vibe and the leader Han Ryeowook who had a strong macho pheromone, there was only one word that can describe Kim Yoonjae. Beautiful.
He had the face of an angel and the body of sexy devil. That pair of black pearl eyes now were set on Shizu with full of questions.
The door was again reopened, Son Kangyu, Han Ryeowook and Baek Woochan entered the room abruptly at the same time taking Shizu by surprise.
Shizu put her index finger in front of her lips, signaling the 4 of them to keep quiet.
"Doctor just injected him with some pain killer." She said softly.
She could not believe that she was actually able to speak in front of GreenEast. Was it real? How could she be in the same room as 5 members of GreenEast? Should she start walking around and look for hidden camera? Who knew if this was just a prank of some reality show?
The remaining members of GreenEast were also in disbelief as they saw a Japanese girl sitting next to their unconscious maknae.
"Is he okay? What did the doctor say?" Kim Yoonjae started the conversation in Japanese.
"I don't know, I don't understand Korean." She answered. Her black night dress caught Han Ryeowook's attention.
"Did you find him at RB Club?" The leader asked.
Her heart skipped a beat, she could feel her palms were sweating. Did Han Ryeowook really just talk to her? Han Ryeowook, the leader of GreenEast that she liked so much since high school?
She nodded her head and gave him a smile.
Han Ryeowook let out a deep sigh of relief then threw himself on the sofa.
"Really? Sorry for troubling you, and thank you so much.." He covered his face with his palms as he fell into a deep thinking.
Trouble? What trouble? The gang raid was not Lee Changhyuk's fault.
Shizu stared at the handsome Kim Yoonjae to ask for further explanation but the latter wasn't sure on how to answer Shizu.
It was the leader who took Lee Changhyuk to RB club and he was also the one who lost the magnae during their night out, so it was understandable for Han Ryeowook to feel guilty about the magnae's current condition.
Kim Yoonjae said nothing but threw a smile at her. He shook his head as a way to tell her to ignore Han Ryeowook.
Bam!!
Someone slammed the door open.
A fully suit chubby guy entered the room rashly. His face was dark as if he was holding some very hot rage.
"Scandalous! Stupid pig, scandal! Whoever called the police must be crazy! Those filthy reporters are surrounding the hospital now, they think Changhyuk was wasted and involved in a gang fight!" He screamed.
"Lower your voice Mr. Park, Changhyuk is resting." Baek Woochan calmly said, as he put a finger in front of his lips.
"I'll speak to the reporters, just sit down and be quiet." Han Ryeowook suggested while massaging his temple. The air around him was dark but Mr. Park didn't seem to care.
"Reporters are MY business, if the CEO finds out that you caused the trouble- you might as well say goodbye to your new term contract!" he replied with another shout.
Shizu didn't understand a word as they were speaking in Korean. The manager was finally aware about the girl's presence. He raised a brow.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Speak Japanese Mr. Park. She is the one who found Changhyuk and saved him in RB." Baek Woochan was the one to reply in Japanese.
Mr. Park gave Shizu a sinister smile, he looked at her with disdain then slowly crossed his arms on his chest like some old fashioned teacher.
"So you were the one who called the police? That kid's face is literally everywhere in Japan, in Korea, China you name it- there's no way you can't recognize him. Why didn't you contact us immediately? Seriously fans like you are the ones who will make the Kpop industry shrink to hell." He spoke in Japanese, his tone was aggresive causing a frown to form on her temple.
"Would you trust me if I said he was with me? He got trampled by dozens of people, do you know how serious that is? How long did it take you to get here?"
"Oh did you think you just saved the world? Just die, you good for nothing piece of sh.."
"Do you wanna die?" Han Ryeowook glared at Mr. Park.
