Accidents

author's note: if i remember it right, this was written after Hwangbo's series of accidents and Hyunjoong's return from Japan after recovering from the H1N1 flu/virus.

:) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8-) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-/ :-* :'(

It was no longer fun for Hyunjoong to be going in and out of the hospital for the last few weeks. There was his hospitalization in Japan, then his constant check-ups, but the worst one was having to rush home to Korea after learning from a news channel that she was in an accident that almost wrecked her car. As if fate was not done teasing him, another bad news came.

THIS WOMAN MUST HAVE BAD LUCK ON HER SIDE, he thought to himself after giving the company driver the hospital's address. He was cursing silently at the adventurous woman. It would have helped if she informed him herself, but as usual, she claims to be a self driven, strong, independent woman, thus she insisted on not telling him any bad news about her. It was good that Hyunjoong bribed her assistant to always inform him about her whereabouts.

THAT WOMAN IS GONNA HEAR FROM ME, but despite his anger, worry started rising and making his nerves all jumpy as sweat started to develop on the tip of his nose. IF ONLY I COULD FLY, he nervously thought.

He tried humming a tune, but the weird pictures of her in a pool of blood or blood gushing out of her pretty head started to swarm his distressed brain.

It took a good 20 minutes to reach the Inha University Hospital.

After thanking the driver, her assistant greeted and lead him to the hospital's back door to avoid any media or paparazzi waiting outside. He rubbed his sweaty palms together before opening the private suite.

It was a ghastly 5 seconds for the idol as he watched two doctors and at least five nurses around her. His imaginations started to run wildly. He stood immobile at the door thinking, WHAT IF SHE LOST A LOT OF BLOOD, WHAT IF THERE WAS A HEMORRHAGE IN HER BRAIN, WHAT IF SHE WAS IN DEEP COMMA, WHAT IF SHE HAD AMNESIA, WHAT IF SHE COULD NOT REMEMBER HIM, WHAT IF THERE WERE MAJOR CONTUSIONS THAT COULD CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE?

Just then her personal assistant announced his arrival, UNNI, HYUN JOONG OPPA CAME.

Hyunjoong snapped out of his thoughts and stared as the Doctors stepped aside to allow him full view of the patient.

Shocked, she sat up properly, trying to hide the bandage on her head with her hair and wrapping her blue silk robe trying to cover the hospital gown she was wearing. Hyunjoong narrowed his eyes as if trying to examine what further damage the accident caused. Hwangbo offered him a small guilty grin, as if begging him not to start his litany until the doctors and nurses leave.

SHE HAS THAT UH-OH EXPRESSION ON HER FACE AGAIN, he said to himself, SHE BETTER BE READY..

Hyunjoong stayed silent, waiting for the nurses and doctors to finish the check-up. After a couple more minutes, her assistant ushered the Medical team out to where her manager was.

Hyunjoong waited then tilted his head sidewards as if waiting for her to speak first. Again, she flashed him the small guilty smile.

ACTING CUTE WILL NOT HELP HWANGBO HYEJUNG, he said in a stern voice that slightly shocked her.

She bowed her head, I'M SORRY, she said in almost a whisper. BUT I'M FINE, SHILLANG, I REALLY AM. THE MANAGER WAS JUST EXAGGERATING.

THAT'S NOT THE POINT, HYEJUNG, he argued staring straight at her.

She continued to bow her head. Hyunjoong took a few steps closer and reached for her chin. He slowly raised her head so that she could look at him and he could see her face.

I KNOW I PROMISED LAST TIME THAT I'D BE MORE CAREFUL, I'M SORRY, then she looked away.

Seeing that she was okay, he let out a smirk. I GUESS YOU HURT YOUR HEAD BADLY, DIDN'T YOU?, he asked.

Hwangbo was confused.

THAT'S STILL NOT THE POINT BUIN, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THE CAR ACCIDENT, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS ONE, he said taking her into his arms.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO GET WORRIED..

THINK ABOUT IT, BUIN, WOULDN'T I BE MORE WORRIED IF I LEARNED IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY THOSE TABLOIDS OR INTERNET NEWS SOURCES?, he explained, then gave the bandage a light kiss.

YOU'RE RIGHT, I'M SORRY, she admitted defeat. He was right after all.

HERE LEMME SEE YOU, Hyunjoong stepped back to take a look at Hwangbo. It still angered him to see the bandage on her head, but the CT Scans showed that she was alright. His heart can finally go beat in its normal pace. YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK KINDA CUTE IN THAT HOSPITAL GOWN AND A BANDAGE ON YOUR SICK HEAD, BUIN.

For the first time in their relationship, he felt like it was his turn to take care of her, and that made him feel d.amn good.
