Yu Qi moved her head to the side and avoided his kiss. She tried to remove her hands from his strong grip, but he had held them tightly. Her heart beat again but, in a strange way. She wasn't feeling excited or happy about this. Her heart felt hurt. She felt as if someone grabbed her heart tightly in their hand and crushed it.
She just felt it uncomfortable and soon her eyes became red. She felt her vision go blur with those tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes and the tears fell down from the corners.
Min Jae who again tried kissing her, felt something cold touch his cheek. He looked at her face and saw tears from the corner of her eyes.
That's when he realized that what he was doing was wrong. He immediately let go of her hands and moved away from her. Feeling no grip on her hands, Yu Qi opened her eyes. She saw, Min Jae sitting a little away from her. He was looking down trying to avoid eye contact with her.
As he saw her get up, he straight away ran to the bathroom after saying sorry.
Yu Qi just sat there on the floor, thinking of what actually happened. She hadn't thought of this, nor Min Jae did. Then, why did it turn out this way??
She got up from the floor and looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was all messy, her eyes and nose were red. Her shirt was almost down her shoulder which exposed her bra strap.
She touched the mirror and tears fell from her eyes. "What just happened?? Why did it just happen?? I had come to ask him about the wedding ceremony and... this happened."
She touched her lips which were kissed by him. Touching it, she remembered what happened just now again. "His kiss wasn't like the last time. He was rough, he was angry. But why??" She looked at her face once more and wiped her tears away.
Walking to the closet, she started to choose some clothes when the door of the bathroom opened. She turned around to see him, but, before she could do so, he was gone out of the room.
With a sigh, she walked into the washroom to change her clothes.
Lee Min Jae walked to the other room. He opened the door and went inside. Entering inside, he sat on the bed thinking of what he just did.
"I was just gonna force her?? I... Was gonna do it?? To her?? To whom I have said myself that I'll always protect her?? How can I??" He looked at his hands which tried forcing her.
Punching his hand hardly on the wall, he tried to relieve his anger, his regret.
He punched again and again until he bled. Then, he started slapping his face.
One slap.
Two slap.
Then, another.
He slapped himself till his cheeks became red. His lips started to bleed.
Lying on the bed, he thought about what he did to her. He started to cry as he felt pain, not because of his bleeding hands or lips, but, because of his hurt heart. Feeling blurry eyed, he got up and then out of the room. Just as he was going by her room, he lost his consciousness and fell down.
Yu Qi who had come out of the bathroom wearing another clothes, heard a loud noise outside the room. At first, she got shocked to hear the noise. With slow steps, she walked to the door and opened it only to see Min Jae lying on the floor, unconscious.
She hurriedly squatted beside him and rubbed his hands. That's when she saw his hands were bleeding. Not only his hands, blood was coming out from his lips too.
She quickly got back inside the room and picked her phone. She then called for the ambulance.
Till the ambulance arrived, she rubbed his hands trying to get him back to his conscious state. She couldn't believe that he would hurt himself because he hurt her.
After a while, the ambulance came and he was taken to the hospital. On the way, Yu Qi called her parents informing that Min Jae was in the hospital. Her family members cancelled everything what they were doing and hurriedly came to the hospital.
Reaching the hospital, her father asked "What happened to him??"
"I don't know. I came out of the washroom and heard a loud noise. When I came out, I saw him lying unconscious." Yu Qi explained.
Although, she didn't explain the other things, she just said a little. She knew that if she was gonna say everything what had happened until now, her parents would only get worried, that's why she didn't say.
After a while, the doctor came and said "The patient is fine. He is out of his unconscious state. You can meet him one by one after a few minutes." Saying that, the doctor left.
"I'll go first." Yu Qi said to her parents and got inside the room.
Knocking on the door, she got inside. She saw him struggling to sit, so, she went and helped him. Yu Qi looked at him as he looked up. She held his hand in hers and asked "What was the need for you to do this??"
"I hurt you!!" Min Jae replied in a sad voice.
"But you hurt yourself more badly compared to how much you hurt me." She touched his hand which was neatly treated. "Why you had to make yourself bleed??"
She saw his lips. The blood had stopped coming and it had formed a clot over there.
"You know, it just looks like I harassed you. With all that slaps on your face, that blood clot on the lips, this wounded knuckles, it looks like I have harassed you. Hehe!!" Yu Qi said while trying to make him laugh.
"You don't have to force yourself!!" Min Jae said as he saw her struggling with making him laugh.
Yu Qi felt frustrated as she heard his cold reply. "You know what..." She stopped her sentence. Pulling him closer by his neck, she kissed him on his lips.
Letting him go, she continued "I hadn't realized it until now. But, after what happened today, I got to know that I fell in love with you on the first day itself, Mr. Lee. It took time to realize it. Maybe that was the reason why I never said anything when you kissed me or hugged me."
Kissing him on the lips once again, she said "I am sure about my feelings now. I really love you!!"
