Pysche's Devotion

JUNHO'S POV: HER

"How is your brother?"

"The doctor says he is fine. His heartbeat is now normal. He suffered from cardiac arrest but the hospital acted fast and they injected him adrenaline instead of using defibrillation."

"Don't thank the hospital. You acted fast that's why your brother came back. What will you tell your parents?"

"I can't tell them that he is responding. Let him sleep for a while. He is back for being unconscious. It will take a little time for him to wake up."

I can't open my eyes but I can hear voices. My brother is talking with someone and I don't know who it is. The smell that makes me dizzy, the smell of medicines makes me sick. I am back here at the hospital. I feel cold and I can't move my body.

My head hurts and my fingers are numb. What is happening to me? The last thing I remember I was having trouble breathing.

"So what's your plan?"

"I will transfer him to the States two weeks from now. I hate him but I need him. As my memories came back the anger I had back then formed again. I'm so lucky to be alive. If he wakes up I will use my bait. He needs to cooperate with me."

"You know what, you are brothers. But the thing is you got the guts while he got the attitude."

"Shut up. Stop comparing us. Let's go I need to attend the board's meeting."

Are they talking about me? Did he hate me? Damn, these memories! I can't remember a thing!

Days passed, I felt like I was flying. Maybe because of the hospital's smell. I opened my eyes, and I got up from the hospital bed I saw fresh flowers on the bedside table. I decided to sneak out of the room but someone caught my attention.

There are two beds in my room one for me and one for the other patient that is lying down. He is wearing an oxygen mask and he has a neck brace and bandage on his head.

This guy suffered a lot. I went out of the room and I saw nurses and doctors panicking. I looked outside, it was nighttime. I stood by the reception area and focused on what was happening.

The two ambulances arrived nurses and doctors ran with the stretchers. I heard them talking with the nurses. A man and a woman came out from the ambulance soaking in their blood.

"What happened?"

"Car accident."

"The wife is three weeks pregnant and the husband is conscious and they're losing too much blood."

Car accident? Suddenly I felt dizzy and headache. I need to gain more energy before coming back to my house. I need a little rest. I went back to my room ignoring the guy beside me. I need to stay strong before my brother transfers me to the States. I need to talk to him why he's mad at me. I need to talk to my parents about what happened to me.

"Junho... Where are you? Where could he be?"

That voice.

"Elena!"

I got up from the bed as I heard someone's calling me. I tried catching my breath. I glanced at the flowers in the vase, it's dying. How many days have passed? How many days did I sleep in? I looked at the guy and still, he was wearing the same tubes before I lost consciousness.

I stood up and went out of the room. I went out of the hospital and decided to go back to my house. I ignored the heat the sun was giving me. I need to go back. Elena might be worrying about me.

I reached our place and I saw a familiar figure standing outside my house. I smiled because I knew who it was. I went close to her and I heard her sigh. Giving up?

"I miss you Junho."

Oh. That surprised me.

"Really?"

She slowly turned around and saw me.

"Elena..."

I miss you too, Elena. I want to say it to her but I can't. She looked at me and she pinched herself. She is acting cute again.

I pulled her inside the house because I was worried, but she kept on idling. I let her sit for a while and I went to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. I saw her watching my pictures so I teased her standing behind her and whispered in her ear.

"Found something interesting?"

I heard her gasp and she took one step backward away from me. She went back to the sofa and drank the water.

"You missed me? You mean it?"

*coughs*

"Careful. Are you okay?"

*coughs*

"Where have you been?"

"It's a long story."

I can't tell her. I don't want her to panic. I don't want her to worry about me. I asked her random questions about what's her favorite sports and food. I can feel that there is still that awkward feeling between us. And I want it to disappear.

I pulled her outside the house to our backyard because she said she loved this part. We sat in the pavilion.

"Junho, about you and Klio..."

I saw her playing with her fingers. Damn cute, so I looked away smiling.

"Hmm, what are your findings?"

"I saw your photo in Klio's phone."

I stopped and looked at her straight into the eyes.

"Really?"

"Ye---yes and when I asked her about you she said---"

She stopped for a while, so I waited for it.

"She said you are someone special to her."

I smiled not because I was happy but because Elena kept her promise. But I still need some information about me.

"Thank you so much, Elena. Did you ask her who I am? What I am?"

She answered me that she did not but would try her best to get some details from Klio. I trust her but I am not pushing her to do it. Maybe I can get more information from my brother.

We decided to eat lunch together so she cooked something for me. And because I love omelets I requested her cook it for me. I left her cooking while I secretly watched her. She is very serious but suddenly she's smiling. I felt something weird.

I saw her idling when I saw her finished preparing the table. Something's wrong with her? She assured me that she was okay and we ate our lunch.

"Try it with the rice."

"Huh? I just love eating an omelet. I'm sorry but my appetite only wants the food that you offered, that I love and it's the omelet."

It's weird. I am not a picky eater but I can't eat foods not being offered to me since then. I only love to eat an omelet.

After eating I went back to the pavilion and I sensed she was following me. We sat down.

"Do you have plans for tomorrow?"

I looked at her waiting for her reply.

"Nope. Tomorrow is Sunday so it's still my free day."

"No family occasions?"

"Nope. My Mom and Dad got work to do and they don't like parties."

"So tomorrow you're free?"

"Yes."

"Will you go out with me?"

She just looked at me. Silly girl, she thinks she's dreaming again, huh?

"I---uh--"

"Hm?"

"Do you mean---"

"Let's date."

She likes looking at me now. Pfft, so cute.

"Let's date Elena."

I nodded at him.

"Okay, Junho."

Yes! I thought she'd reject me. I smiled at her and I patted her head.

"Good. I'll pick you up at eight sharp tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

"Be yourself, Elena. Be who you are when you're with me."

I don't like someone wearing something just because they're with me. I want her to be her because that's the 'Her' I fell in love with. Yes, I know it's weird but I like her.

She went home so I decided to get back to sleep. I don't know what happened but I felt weak and tired. I need to confess to her tomorrow, by hook or by crook I have to. We maybe met just a week ago but it felt like years.
