Hello my lovely readers this is a surprise update. Enjoy. 😉

_______________________________________

The fear thoughts looped around in my mind until there was no room for anything else. The "loop" played like this. These next few hours would either pass as a blip in the course of my life, or they would be the final trauma that broke me. Everything and everyone shows me that all will be okay, but I'm anxious.

 It comes as an electrical storm in my brain that, quite honestly, is painful. It's different from a headache and it feels the same as intense sorrow, perhaps as a sort of frozen panic with nowhere to go. So though I appear calm, my sad eyes are saying far more than "Help me," they are saying that my soul is in such unbearable pain and because not only I am worried about my aunt but also on people at the hospital, remember I could see when they will die.

As I looked at the people passing by the hospital some were conscious some were waiting in line, we were on the way to my aunt’s room and I accidentally bump into an old woman.

“Sorry let me help you up” as I give the old woman a hand I saw a glimpse of her life clock” a few hours to go” I mumble to myself.

The anxiety sits below my smile, my actions, my silly jokes... It is there like over- caffeinating but without the option not to drink a cup. So there I am, all amped up with no escape.

“Thanks, deary, I can walk on my own” the old lady said.

“ Are you sure?” I asked.

“ Yes, I’m sure” she replied and walked away.

Kai edged his hand toward mine ever so slightly, until I felt his fingertips brush my hand.

“ Kai what you doing” I said with a confused face.

“ holding your hand because you seem sad, I still don’t know what happened to your aunt, so I am here to help you be calm and not be miserable let’s go” Kai explain while dragging me and smiling.

“ Kai what happened to the jerk Kai that I know,” I said.

“ What you talking about just shut up and follow me you want to see your aunt right?” he grins at me. 

I just slightly nodded. Why was he acting sweet, kind and nice all of a sudden? 

“Here we are," Kai said releasing my hands.

I took a deep breath and opened the door. I straight away ran to my aunt who was laying on the hospital bed.

“Aunty are you ok? Is there any injury ...please be fine” as I grabbed my aunt’s hands while worrying about her.

“I’m fine it was just a minor injury and the accident was not that bad” she explains to me.

“Are you sure...I’m just worried about you that’s all?” I said calmly and still concern about her.

“I know dear” she stroke my long silky black hair and I  slightly smile. 

“Ahem..” Kai gives a fake cough to get our attention. 

He was just standing there for like a few minutes when I talked with my aunt. He was so quiet.

“ Who might you be?” my aunt asked looking at him.

“Umm-” he got cut off “are you  Hana’s boyfriend?” my aunt asked him. 

“Umm-” he got cut off again “ No he is not” I yelled immediately without Kai’s chance to answer.

“ Are you sure, Hana?” my aunt said while rolling her eyes.

“ Yes I’m sure” I crossed my arms.

“ Young man, may I ask your name?” she smiled at him.

“ OK aunty I’m Kim Jongin or Kai for short” he replied and smiled back at her.

“ Are you sure you don’t like Hana and you are not her boyfriend?” she asked again.

“ Aunty!” I shouted.

“ Well yes and no. maybe no we were just friends” I think he changes his answer because I was glaring at him.he was cute when he gets scared. Snapped out of it I facepalm myself.

We talked with my aunt telling her how I met Kai and she laughs. It was a sweet conversation. She said to me “Kai is a keeper he is nice and sweet " and I just smile back to her. This moment right here I might not have it anymore but I need to live through it.

“ What did you guys talk about when I was gone?” he asked putting the takeaway food on top of the table.

“ Nothing” I replied and we eat the takeaway food together.

As my aunt was sleeping, we quietly walked away from her room. I was waiting at the entrance of the hospital, waiting for Kai.

He arrived wearing a black leather jacket with a black helmet covering him. 

“Hop on,” he said and throw a helmet to me. 

I could feel my check burning bright red. 

“ Hold on to me tight,” he said

“ Why would I need to hug you tight” I replied.

“ Don’t be like this, if you fall don’t blame me” he exclaimed.

“ Yeah whatever,” I said and held to his waist tightly with my cheeks becoming rosy red.

“ Good girl sugar cube” he smirked and started the engined of the bike.

“I said don’t call me that” I yelled at him.

I could picture that he was smiling at me or giggling at me.

As I was at the back of the bike, I could feel my black long hair flowing back from the wind. A bleak, thin wind it was, like a fine sour wine, searching the marrow and bringing no bloom to the cheek. I leaned my head on Kai’s back I closed my eyes to the lullaby of the breeze, breathing in its poignant salty breath.

“We’re here” Kai stop his bike.

“ Wait this is my place… how you know my house I didn’t tell you, Kai?” I asked with a confused face.

“Well suho told me” he replied.

I unbuckled my helmet and hand it over to him and said” Kai thanks for everything see you tomorrow” 

“ Wait…. no hug for me” he pouts at me.

“Cute” I mumbled.

“I heard that you think I am cute” he rolled his eyes.

“ It was just… I was just” out of panicked I hug him.

His eyes widen and hugged me back but tighter.

“ you should hug me often” he teased.

“ should I hugged you tighter or kill you,” I said with a harsh tone.

“Ouch you pinched me” he shouted.

“ surf you right” pulling away from his bear hug.

“ Before you leave I need to ask you something?” he scratches his neck.

“ Go on," I said.

“ Can I have ….”
