Four.


They found her lying on a flat surface, unconscious. Hyunjoong tried calling out her name, but she did not move. He grabbed her in his protective arms, swept a few strands of loose hair away from her face. The idol panicked as he saw her bruised face and some blood from the corner of her lips. He immediately carried her and ran down hoping to find a clinic or some first aid kit.

Hwangbo woke up feeling queasy. She was aching everywhere. She looked down and saw her left foot covered in bandages, the same with her left hand. She opened her eyes wider as she noticed some movement at the heavy doors. At first, she could not recognize the man who came in. He was wearing muddy clothes and there were some blood stains on his light blue windbreaker. But his eyes were the same ones that constantly appeared in her dreams.

"How are you feeling?", he whispered when he saw her looking at him.

It was Kim Hyunjoong. "Where am I?", she asked him trying to get up.

"In Halla clinic, you slipped and lost consciousness, don't you remember?" he asked helping her get up.

Hwangbo remembered trying to avoid a pothole on the cemented path, loosing her balance, but she could not remember falling down. She tried moving her head when a piercing pain suddenly attacked her temples. She winced in pain grabbing hold of the nearest thing which happened to be Hyunjoong's hand. She squeezed it hard hoping to alleviate the pain which went away slowly. Hyunjoong started fuzzing over her then massaged her temples gently. When she started feeling okay, she realized she was wrapped in Hyunjoong's embrace. It felt safe and comfortable, but she had to break away from it.

"Are you okay now?", he looked at her intently.

"Yes, just a headache", she answered avoiding his eyes again.

Some time had passed and Hyunjoong never left Hwangbo's side. He never wanted to leave her again, and she had not wanted to be away from him from the start, she just could not say it out.

Gain and Jokwon burst in the room looking all worried and panicky..

"Noona!!!", Jokwon said a little too loud. He did not notice anyone else in the room. Gain stopped to bow when she saw Hyunjoong before proceeding to her Unni's bedside.

"Noona, are you alright?", Jokwon asked in the same worried tone when he heard from Seulong that his Noona had an accident during a Nodaji taping.

"You really scared me for real, Unni", Gain said squeezing Hwangbo's right hand.. "I'm sorry Unni. I really am. We really are."

Hwangbo cracked a smile at the two idols fuzzing over her, she would have laughed at the sight of these two, but she busted her lip, too. "Yah!! You even got Inyoung on your side now, huh?!", she said slapping Jokwon's arm lightly.

The PD suddenly burst inside the small room, “We have good news. You can now rest at the villa.”

Hwangbo let out a sigh. She hated hospitals or small rooms like these, it was too depressing for her.
