She found herself to look at something that made her jaw drop in shock. This was definitely not something she was prepared to face.
Infront of her, was an unconscious Kyou restrained by a few tall, masculine people who seemed to look like thugs.
The scene made her blood boil up in anger and she rushed to his side. Her one glare was enough to increase the tension between them and they knew that they wouldn't want to mess with her. The temperature suddenly increased. They staggered back and fled from the scene.
Ae Rin looked back at Kyou with concern in her eyes. Blood trickled down from his forehead and his face was pale.
"I guess I have to take him somewhere with no people so that I can teleport him to my house." She mumbled under her breath.
She eyed the place for an abandoned area and noticed some tall bushes which was enough to hide themselves.
"Just perfect!" She thought to herself, her eyes fixated on the bushes, as she picked him up in her arms in bridal style and slowly walked towards the bushes while the people around her were surprised by her heroic actions and giggled among themselves when they saw her picking him up.
She payed no heed to their thoughts and hurried off to the bushes.
She brought him to her house, layed him on her bed and closed the curtains just in case. She texted Seo Yoon explaining briefly about the incident and told her that the plan was cancelled.
She then raised her hands over his forehead and focused on healing the wounds. Rays of faint blue light filled the space as his wounds began to fade away.
She took the trouble of bandaging him on places where the wounds had been before, so that he wouldn't suspect her.
After an hour or so, Kyou regained his consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes to find himself alone in an unfamiliar house with his forehead bandaged.
"Where in the world am I..?" He thought to himself as he eyed the room suspiciously.
In the middle of this, he heard the door creak open and he turned his head to look. His eyes widened, "You?! What are you doing here?"
He saw Ae Rin standing in the doorway with a glass of fresh mango juice.
She sighed and replied, " What am I doing here? This is my house. I...saw your "state" in the park and I brought you here"
She invited herself in and placed the glass on the table next to the bed, and motioned him to drink it.
He took a sip of the juice and started showering her with questions, "What happened to me? How did you get rid of them? Did they hurt you?"
"Woah, woah! Calm down. First of all, nothing happened to me. Second, T-they...uh...the thugs left before I reached the park"
His expression became stern after her reply, " If you didn't see them, then how did you know they were thugs? Or more specifically, how did you know that there was someone else in the scene if you reached after they fled? Not only that...I'm sure I was injured, but now, I don't feel any pain whatsoever. What's the use of the bandage? And..that day on the rooftop, YOU saved me, didn't you? Back then too, there were no wounds or bruises on me after I woke up." He glared at her as he took off the bandage on his forehead, revealing his completely healed skin.
"I..uh...I-" Ae Rin couldn't find any excuses. Before she could say anything, Kyou cut her off mid sentence.
He peered at her with a serious expression,
"Who ARE you really?"
