My Best Friend, My Boyfri (1/2)
(AngelHae)Angel’s recovery has been good so far, she can move her arms now and is able to eat normally at times as well. She’s under the care of her mom, who took a leave for her until she can do everything on her own.
"Honey, I have to go to the office for the day. They need me for an important meeting. I’ll call Donghae to pitch in for me" her mom said, as soon as she finished her breakfast.
"But mom, I’m fine. I can take care of myself"
"Yeah, says you who can’t even eat properly" her mom said, planting a kiss on her forehead before she left for work.Few moments later, Donghae showed up and went straight for Angel “Hey Pumpkin!”
“Hey…”
“You don’t look too happy to see me” Donghae said, heading straight to the kitchen and to the fridge
“I don’t understand why mom insists that you be with me, I’m fine on my own” Angel said
“Yeah, says you who can’t eat properly” Donghae remarked
“That’s what she said to me earlier!! Ugh, You’re starting to sound like mom” Angel said, laughing. Donghae prepared food for the two of them, he let Angel drink her medicines and they settled on the couch. “Movie?” Donghae asked
“Can we please do something else? I’ve been watching movies for a few weeks now. Can we at least play a game?”
“You can barely move your arms and you want to play a game?” he said and shook his head, Angel was unable to answer and Donghae looked at her and added “How about I change your bandages? They don’t look too good” before getting up and getting a fresh roll of bandages. He closed the blinds and turned the lights on and got a hold of the hem of her shirt. Angel stiffened up and said “I… I… I think you should let mom do this bit”
“Look, I'm already here. Come on… it’s just me” Donghae said and carefully lift her shirt up. He removed the bandage on her right shoulder first, squeezed Hydrogen Peroxide on a cotton ball and said “This is gonna sting a little” before applying on to her would, Betadine then followed and then a new bandage was taped on. After he did the same thing with her left shoulder, he got a new shirt and put it on her as well. “Does it hurt?” he asked.
“A little…”
“Don’t worry pumpkin, It’s gonna be fine.” He assured her and added “How about that movie? I got new ones…” with a smile
Angel smiled as well and said “Okay”.Angel’s mom was able to go back to work thanks to Donghae. He has been lending his time to take care of Angel and to accompany her in her therapy session which is torture for him because Angel kept on crying when she’s asked to move her arms and Donghae doesn’t like it when he sees her cry. He was waiting for Angel to finish her therapy session when he felt a tap on his shoulder, it was Yoona “Hi” she said
“Hey, how are you?” he said
“I’m good… you?” she asked, taking the seat beside Donghae
“I’m great… What are you doing here?”
“Visiting a friend… you?”
“I’m waiting for Angel to finish up therapy” he said
“Oh, so are you two?”
“No, I uhm… I filled in for her mom”
“You haven’t told her?”
“Yoona… I… I’m really sorry. I didn’t know…”
“You don’t have to apologize to me for that. It’s not your fault.”
“I did love you…”
“I know… but you just love her more than me and that’s nothing to be sorry about” Yoona said, smiling
“Thanks… ”
“For what?” she asked, giggling “for dumping you and telling you that you love your best friend?” she added and Donghae nodded. Yoona stood up, put her hand on his shoulder and said “I’d be happier if you told her you love her”. Donghae looked at her, he smiled and nodded before she took her leave. He laughed to himself at what his ex told him “That girl… seriously” he whispered to himself.Angel then appeared and was puzzled “Hae?” she asked
“Oh hey… are you done with therapy?”
“Yeah… are you okay? Why are you talking to yourself?”
“Oh that… I was just thinking out loud”
“Okay…”
“Shall we?” Donghae asked and he assisted Angel to the car. He let her in the back seat while he goes in the driver’s seat “What did your therapist say?” he asked
“She said that I only need one more therapy and then I can go back to being normal me again.”
“That’s great then! Your mom is gonna be ecstatic when she hears this” Donghae said as he was driving.
“Yeah… Sorry you had to wait long”
“It’s okay… I actually saw Yoona”
“Oh yeah… how is that girlfriend of yours?” Angel suddenly remembered
