CHAPTER 12.1 : The Unexpe (1/1)

A short update. Finally. At least.~~~ Hyukjae’s POV“Krystal, you look nervous. Are you okay?”“I’m kinda afraid.” She showed her nervous smile.“Don’t worry, you see Luna and Kyuhyun and Sungmin had made it! So you can too, right? Nothing is impossible. When there’s a will, there’s a way!” I punched the air upwards, grinning at her. She smiled again and nodded.“Chill down, Krystal! Fighting!” Luna shouted way from the ground, cheering her up which made us chuckled. Krystal turned her head down, facing Luna, turned her knuckles into a fist and shouted ‘fighting’ too.I checked on the rope. When I satisfied enough on the strength, the safety belts holistically, I gave a signal to Luna, Kyuhyun and Sungmin. They gave back a signal which indicated they were ready.“Okay, go now!”Yeah, I know it would actually be a rock climbing activity but we’re doing a climbing down the rocks because we’re amateur ourselves and there’s a newbie here so basically we’re doing a simple one only. But, still, it’s not as easy as eating.I took a look at Krystal. At first, she was trembling a bit as she descending down but regained her confidence at the middle where she managed to go down impeccably and cheered when she succeed on arriving.  I noticed, Krystal had turned into a brave girl. I wonder what she had faced before to change her that much. I remembered she was such a crybaby back then. Okay, now it’s our turn.I buckled the belt, checking the safety precautions and made sure that everything is on place, well, except for this one stupid knot. I don’t know why it always came lose when I tie it myself. While I was struggling on it, a hand came to the rescue.“Here, let me help you.” It was Donghae. Skillfully, he tied it strongly without much effort.“Thanks.”“No worries. I knew this would happen anyway.”“Pardon me?”“It was nothing.” Had his mood lightened up? I thought I heard he just mocked me a second ago.  Wait, he’s still wearing that stolid face. “Are you ready?” he asked. I nodded in reply. He gave a signal. “Now let’s go.”It’s a pretty inclined cliff we got here. I just realized that. But, I think it’s too easy, looking at the way Krystal made it. So, with my overconfident self, I proudly decent downwards. ~~~ Why did I feel funny? I tied it strongly right?Suddenly, in a blink of eye, somehow; I don’t even know myself how, the knot loosened and I could feel myself falling, to the hard ground! I tried to grasp on something but all I could feel is air.“Hyukjae!” I could hear someone’s calling for me and after that everything’s black out. ~~~ I opened my eyes slowly. All I could see is white. There’s an angel with white clothes approaching me. Maybe I’m in heaven. Yeah, did I die from the fall? Perhaps. And there’s another angel. A male angel. Did heaven supposed to have a male angel too? I never know… And it somehow looks like Sungmin hyung. Did my eyes play tricks on me?“..jae, Hyukjae, HYUKJAE!”I blinked endlessly. I thought I heard Sungmin hyung’s voice just now.“He’s awake! Call the doctor!” What? Doctor? What is a doctor doing in heaven? And Sungmin hyung too?Then, I realized I was not in heaven, I was in the typical hospital ward! Should I say typical? It didn’t look mundane to me. It looked like a room. A luxurious room. I looked around. The worried expression was on everybody’s face.“Wh-what happened?” I tried to sit but then, the pain stings my back and my head. I let out a loud groan.“Shhhh, Hyukkie, just stay put. Don’t move.” Sungmin tried to calm me.“What happened? I remembered falling from the cliff and…” I looked at my condition. Wow, was the ground was soft? I thought it was rocky all over. I got bruises and my head was bandaged and that’s all.“How did I survive?”“Well…” The doctor’s came in with Kyuhyun without letting Sungmin to finish his words. The doctor simply examined me all over and asked several questions and at last he said I’m okay except that I need a lot of rest to heal my wounds. I glanced back at Sungmin and he nodded; as if he understood what I meant.“Well, you see… Donghae sorts of saved you.”Donghae? To think about it, I haven’t seen him anywhere.“Where is he?”“He’s in the emergency ward.” Kyuhyun answered. ~~~ The moon was staring at us. Its light shone on the white bed, on his body, on his flawless face. There he was, lying, sleeping peacefully, or probably the consciousness is not there yet, wearing a thin white robe. His face was as innocent as a child. He looks so calm but yet so helpless. With all the wires, bandages and the tube connecting from his wrist to a plastic water packet (?), he looked so fragile. I felt a pang of guilt seeing him in this condition. The hateful and annoyance towards him were all washed away.“Donghae…” I murmured. “…please forgive me. It’s my entire fault.” I laid my head beside him, with my face facing down on the mattress.“It’s not.” I shot my head up. There he was, smiling at me. He took one of my hands and squeezed it.“Glad to see you’re okay… Hyukjae.” He smiled again.“W-why are smiling?” I choked. “You’re the one who’s badly injured here…” I could feel the tears were forming.“Who wouldn’t smile to see their loved ones unharmed?” He caressed my cheeks. “Let’s sleep. It’s late.”“I-I just go back to my room then.” I stood up but before I could make another step, I could feel a hand was pulling my wrist. “Sleep here with me.”“I can’t.”“Why?”“Err… maybe because it’s a single bed?”He let out a faint chuckle. “Don’t be silly. It’s a queen size bed. With your slim figure, it’s impossible that this much space wouldn’t enough for you.”I didn’t answer him, neither did I nodded or gave him any response. I just let him pulled me into the bed, lying beside him. I must be insane to agree on sleeping together with him when I knew so well how much I don’t want to see him, so much that I built my hatred towards him. I was still in a confounding state; it’s as if my heart is cloudy and hazy that me myself can’t even figure out what’s happening on myself. As much as I want to leave the room, I was not able to even pull myself from the bed, from his hand which was still holding my wrist. I must be crazy. Perhaps my mind was not stable due to the impact. Perhaps or maybe. ~~~ “Wow! Look what we’ve got here!”I had awakened with a loud familiar voice. Shit. I still want to sleep. I forced myself to open my eyes. I could spot a faint figure of a male. I groaned in frustration when I get to know it was Kyuhyun. I dove into the pillow and snuggled closer to a warm body beside me. Wait, did I say body? And Kyuhyun? Why on earth Kyuhyun was in my room and a body?!Wait a minute; I’m still in the hospital! In Donghae’s ward’s room! On the bed…..With him. HIM.I raised my head and blinked helplessly, unconsciously staring at his face.“Morning, Hyukkie.” And he kissed my temple. He kissed me!“Woooooooo~ there’s a drama going on here!”I was so shocked that I couldn’t even manage to move an inch.“Shut up! We’re in the hospital!” Sungmin retorted and gave Kyuhyun a kick on his leg. A loud grunt and whining were heard after that. Then he smiled at me. “We want to pick you guys up. Come; get ready to be dismissed from the ward.” That’s news.“Dismissed? Me?”“Together with Donghae of course.”“But, he’s still, I mean, he can’t be dismissed yet… with… his condition…”“I’ll get your stuffs and we’ll be waiting outside. Don’t take too long~” He dragged Kyuhyun before he could voice out any nonsenses.Then, I realized what he meant by saying those. We’re still in an awkward position. Me still hugging him.“You look comfortable hugging me.” Donghae spoke up.“What? No!” I released my hands.“Just kidding, silly.” Then, suddenly, he leaned down to me, closing his distance to me. But before he could do anything, I stopped him. “Yah! No!” I pushed his face away harshly and without thinking, I jumped off the bed and dashed to the door; to the hallway. I could feel my face was heating up and my heart was beating in a very fast pace; on which I couldn’t figure out why. Half of me felt guilty to push him when I clearly knew he wasn’t even near to a state of recover but part of me just brushed that guiltiness off and scurried to my ward.~~~I'm sorry.
