CL’Pov
We were running like we’ve been chased by a mobster when suddenly, Mia and I we’re bumped into a small- petit figure.
She sprawled on the floor while we remained standing eyeing her.
Was she crying?
Oh! So help me! That was just a slight bumped!
This girl was so lame crying her eyes out from being bumped?
I tried to reach her but she dismissed my hand instead, refusing for a help.
“Help yourself then.” I said quite irritated with her attitude leaving her behind.
I started to find my pace back while Mia insisted on getting her up.
“I’m sorry we’re a little bit in a hurry...here.” She gave her a handkerchief which the latter willingly accepted. She then managed to go without a single thank you to my little Mia.
I began cursing her in Japanese which I’m sure she didn’t understand. However, much to my surprise, she turned around then slightly bowed her head.
“Arigato Gozaimasu.” She said sniffing because of crying.
I shifted my eyes to Mia who was in a trance also. That was a lot of effing curses there but she understood that? I didn’t have a good look on her to confirm whether she was a Japanese or what.
“Is she Japanese?”
“I don’t know. But she understands me when I spoke in Korean, doesn’t she?” Mia frowned. “ one more thing, her jacket is familiar.”
I nodded as I’ve noticed he jacket too.
We we’re standing like an i***t for a moment there, thinking of confusing things that hit us. Or were we forgetting something?
“Omo! To RJ’s room.” We said simultaneously as we snapped back from our senses.
Aish! how can we forgot about the pressing things on our hands now?We received a call from Philine about Gin’s coming to the hospital. It was just natural really but the fact that RJ’s girl was there, it hit us big time. We knew the capabilities of that YG frog. We weren’t letting him touch a single strand of the girl.
I’m gonna wring his neck and pluck his eyeballs and…oh there was the door. Mia, who was ahead of me, opened it.
Inside, we were greeted with nothing but emptiness. All the three figures just remained motionless as if they’ve killed someone.
We strode near them and I was about to ask Philine when I heard Mia’s exclaimed.
“What?” I asked her, following her gazed.
“Rui!” I was more than dreaded when I saw his knuckles with blood spring into it, staining the silver ring on his finger.
The nurse came to aid him but he just slapped her hands off, with his devoid expression and very cold aura, I could sensed that something happened.
I was about to retaliate but was cut- off when the door opened, spitting the seven bodyguards followed by their leader Gian. Not long after, the room was filled with these people in YG including the frog prince in the castle-Gin Lee.
I and Mia stood to where we usually posted, behind RJ. We kinda used of wearing the fierce gaze every time the YG folks were around sending a message to them that we’re not involving ourselves to them.
Gin was strolling around the room, inspecting every detail of it. He then smirked facing RJ.
“I’ve heard you have a girl now? Where is she?”
RJ was taken aback for a moment but he tried to hide it from the jerk.
“When did you become nosy on such things?” Rui nonchalantly asked him back fixing both of his clothed-covered hands on his side.
“So it’s true then?” Gin smiled devilishly.
I so wanted to strangle him now! Then out of impulsiveness, I began to hear myself muttering things.
“I haven’t known it till now that you are planning to install a showbiz central in YG…” I butted in, not hiding the sarcasm in my voice.
Mia laughed about it. It was damn funny, I tell you. I could see Gian and the seven bodyguards suppressed their smiles.
“What did you say?” there’s danger in Gin’s voice, but how the hell I care about it? The heck with him.
“Maybe you wanna know also that the daughter of Yakuza wore lingerie when sleeping?” I added.
“…or me dancing naked in front of the mirror?” I heard Mia butted in .
“…or get interested on how a girl like me goes wild and show their t**s?” Philine butted in, arching her eyebrows.
If it happened that I’m in different situation, I would have a time of my life rolling on the floor laughing. The seven bodyguards just turned into tomato much more with Philine’s boyfriend-Gian. It was so priceless! Hahahahahaha!
Aish! back to the reality, here he was now, the raging Gin. And I just stared at him in great horror when he pointed his gun to me.
“Put down your gun, s**t-head.” RJ looked up seemingly sensing the gun held up on the air particularly pointing at me. I looked at our master with great amazement.
The frog take heed on his command and put his effing gun down.
I silently sighed in relief.
“Your father sends you a message about the company-”
“Oh, please can’t you see he’s still recovering?” I growled at him.
He stared at me once again with a grim expression.
“Will you stop the crap, Cynthia Lee?” RJ crossed in , calling me by my name.
“Mianhe.” I bowed to him then I faced Gin. “ Mianhe.”
He just smirked at me.

Rui Kwon and Gin were left together with the seven bodyguards in that room while the three girls-Mia,CL and Philine were tracing their way to the canteen. They invited Dami to join them but she was in a verge of crying the moment she got out of the dragon’s room. The nurse excused herself from them and found her way back to their station.
“Tell me the whole thing, Philine.” CL said in serious tone as she noticed the nurse to be almost crying a while ago.
“Yeah.RJ too is acting so weird. So cold.” Mia confirmed with a troubled façade on her face.
Philine was about to open her mouth to start recounting the events. But it was left wordless as tears were escaping from her eyes.
“We hurt her…” she said in between sobs.
“Who?”CL asked, wearing the worried look.
Mia tapped Philine’s backed soothing the pain she was carrying inside.
CL’s pretty aware that something’s really amiss the moment she entered the room and she was right.
Philine, to the best of her ability, finished recounted the events making little Mia cried and CL, shocked.
“She’s not coming back.” CL muttered bitterly.
“She must! She must!” Philine insisted as she saw RJ in her mind slowly falling back to his knees.
But the Spades girls just fell silent, drown with their own thoughts and hopes.
MALE NURSE’s POV
I was excited now as this was my first day in job here in the most prestigious hospital in the country! Yepee!
I‘m still in a high spirit when I reached the elevator with the medicine kit on my hands. I was about to step inside but I was taken aback with the men wearing all black with their sunglasses on. All, in uniformed expression. I scanned more of them and my eyes landed on the two guy. They were- well I can’t describe them in a fantastic way. But they were awesome, oozing with s*x appeal and- what the?
That was it. They were what I’m saying…
“You coming?” one of the men asked me.
I shook my head in response. I mean, how the hell will I able to survive before them? I could be choked with too much intimidation. I would rather take the stairs.
The elevator closed again.
So, I find myself on this silent stairs alone. I could feel the creep in my nape now as I began descending from the magnificently made stairs. Alright I was just goofing around describing this neglected part of the building into something fantastic, which I believe was not, just to shoo away the goosebumps I was feeling right now.
Out of nowhere, I heard a sob from a girl. My hair all over my body just went up and as I still continued descending-quickly just to get out from the stairs. But the sob just become audible.
Was she following me?
I looked behind with a mortified look in my eyes. I started running like an i***t then I slipped from the edge of the stairs accidentally which sent me into the corner. My head was slightly slammed the floor before pain registered but I managed to stand up, afraid to be caught by the lady ghost.
I was up when she appeared before me. I was gaping my mouth open, staring at her. She had disheveled hair and her eyes were bulging and her nose was red as tomato.
I frowned a bit with my own stupidity.
How can a ghost be so cute like this? I maybe the one who could end up eating her. She was so darn cute and beautiful and a goddess- with disheveled hair alright.
“Are you hurt?” I heard the ghost talking to me. She picked up all the things in the floor. She gave it to me. I looked at it. Oh, it was my first aid paraphernalia. I looked at her again. “You seemed fine.”
Then she sat on the corner holding a camera in her hands. I feel more than stupid standing there. I observed a little of her features and got up. She wore a jacket with a bull’s head in it.
“I was a patient here and I am gonna be discharged today.” She looked at me still sniffing.
“A-aren’t you a ghost here?” I joked, sitting near her.
“No.” she inspected her camera.
“What happen to that?” I asked pointing the camera.
“Broken”
Indeed. I saw the obvious cracks on its LCD and its lens. Maybe she loved the thing too much that explained her, crying alone…noting the bitterness in between her sobs.
“You dropped it?”
“No. I was bumped to somebody.”
“And you dropped it?”
“No. I accidentally hit it with me on the floor.”
“Ah…”
Silence
“ So, why are you here… crying alone?”
I gawked at her just then I saw the tears threatening to fall down her cheeks. I felt alarmed now but she was able to stop it.
“You talk too much.” She stood up dusting herself and I followed her action.
“Are you fine?” I asked, worried.
“Do me a favor.” She sounded not asking me but ordering as one having in authority. She slid off a ring off her finger and took off her jacket, folding it neatly.
“You’re giving these to me?” I asked as she handed me a ring and a jacket.
“Kindly return it to room 919. It RJ’s property, I stole it.” She nonchalantly said fixing her hair and was about to leave me, befuddled and trance.
“What should I call you anyway?” I asked with a hope to know her name.
She turned back, staring me squarely.
“Well, in case they would ask…” I defensively said, trying to hide the motive inside me.
“Tell them I’m a TRESPASSING BITCH.” She coldly said then left me.
I was astonished with this girl. So beautifully made but was so cold hearted inside. I roamed my eyes around just then I realized that I’m alone again. Chills on my spine…yikes!

Fara had fixed herself enough to hide from Chisamie about what happened a while ago. She entered her room, trying to possess herself with a spirit of happiness.
“Chisamie-ah…” she called out as she entered her room. She found Chisamie near the window, talking somebody on the phone.
Fara sat at the edge of the bed, lazily c*****g to Chisamie.
“Fara, we should hurry now.” Chisa grabbed all of the things, giving no chance for her to say anything. She dragged her out of the room. Not long after, they were both inside the taxi.
“You’re Dad…”Chisamie started not bothering to look in her way.
“What happen?” she asked quite alarmed with Chisa’s seriousness.
“He had heart attack last night and was now confined in the US hospital.”
She closed her eyes in frustration and she felt weak with exhaustion with the sequence of the events today. Her inner being can’t take it for now. They were too much to process. She shifted her position, avoiding Chisa from noticing her, feeling a little bit dizzy. She covered her face with her little Bugs Bunny.
Chisa just let her rest and focused her attention to the road..
