Chapter 43
Yumei was standing next to the bed, a nurse was busy helping her with the adjustments of her crutches.
She was struggling to get herself to turn around without falling over, the door opened.
"Miss, you have a visitor."
She blinked, 'A visitor? Jimin said he was getting Yoongi so...'
She hadn't turn around yet, the nurse that was next to her whispered in her ear. "How lucky are you that there are so many boys to see you well."
She clutched on the crutch but the nurse stopped her, "Don't push yourself, we will just be outside."
Namjoon bit his lip nervously as the nurse took a step back to let him in but another nurse was standing next to Yumei, he saw that she whispered something in her ear.
The nurse next to her looked up at him and winked, she walked from Yumei and past him, "She is lucky."
Namjoon's eyes were still on Yumei, she was standing with her hands on the crutches it looked as if she was struggling.
He took a step closer, "Yuki-"
Yumei paused, 'Joonie? He came back?' She tried to turn around but the crutch slipped and she embraced for the impact but it did not come.
There was an arm around her waist, the crutches hung loosely and when she turned her gaze upwards, Namjoon's face was a few inches from hers. "You should be careful."
Her face turned beet-red to the tips of her ears. "I- I am not ready for these."
He chuckled, with ice cream in hand he steadied her. "Why don't you leave these, I have brought you a little surprise."
Yumei got a faint smile on her lips, he didn't need to bring her something. She knew that he would come for her, his jacket was still on the seat and Jimin had put her unicorn on it so that they wouldn't forget it.
She couldn't stop staring at him while she unhooked her arms from the crutches and they slipped on the floor, he helped her to sit down on the bed. "You didn't have to bring me anything."
He knelt so that he was eye level with her, "So you do not want a chocolate-vanilla swirly?"
Her eyes widened, "You- you brought me a swirly?"
His smiled, "I- yes. I thought you might need a cheer me up." He held the ice cream toward her and she gently took it, their fingers brushed. He felt his heart jump.
Yumei averted her gaze from his, how can a touch send so much emotion through one's heart and mind? "Thank you, it- it is my favourite."
"I would have guessed, it is my favourite too."
She licked the ice cream, "You are joking?"
He shook his head, "No, I always eat it when I go to the shop."
Yumei was still not looking at him, she was scared that her heart would betray her. She hoped that she would be able to share the truth with him and to tell him that she never forgot him.
In seven years a boy she met by chance that went out of his way to be nice to her and not treat her like a porcelain doll; she did not forget. "Joonie, thank you for the treat."
He rubbed the back of his neck, "No need for a thank you."
She shook her head, "You have been very thoughtful and you don't even know me."
Namjoon blinked at her but her eyes were averted from his, 'Truth? The truth is Yumei... I know you, I feel like I have known you for years.'
He reached out and gently placed his hand on her left knee, she still did not look at him, 'My truth is I want to get to know you better, you have been taken from me seven years ago and now I have met you but you are under a different name. I want you to trust me.'
He squeezed her leg to get her attention, Yumei finally turned her gaze back to him, he noticed that there was chocolate on her nose. "I want to get to know you."
It was so cute and she didn't even notice it. Yumei blinked at him, and are the last of her ice cream before saying, "I would love to get to know you too."
"Then let me be straight forward and ask you your cellphone number." He watched her face for a reaction but the chocolate in her nose was, too distracting.
She licked her lips, "I don't own a phone..."
She's got to be kidding, who doesn't own a phone in this new era? He felt his heart sink, how was he going to talk to her if he- "May I ask why?"
"I have been homeschooled, so I don't have any friends, except for Sora and Kiryu who are living with me."
He hid his disappointment by reaching out and wiped the chocolate from the tip of her nose, "I am sure we can make a plan."
"Why didn't you tell me I have chocolate on my nose?!"
He let out a chuckle, "Because it was cute."
Her cheeks flushed, "Joonie..." He loved the way his name fell from her lips, "Yes?"
She leaned forward and kissed his cheek, "Thank you for cheering me up."
Yoongi stood before Jimin, "I want to see Yumei happy... And he makes her smile more than we ever could."
Jimin blinked, Yoongi was agreeing on something that he said? Was there going to be a thunderstorm? "Why the change of heart?"
Yoongi folded his arms, "I interrogated him because of my suspicious nature."
Nothing new there but Jimin was too interested to voice it or loud.
"I- I have come to realise that her life has to be far away from these happenings. Her accident, my brother her father."
Jimin nodded, "I am glad we are on the same page but Namjoon?"
Yoongi exhaled a breath, "He knows the truth... About 80% of it."
Jimin's face went from peaceful to angry, "What! How- Yoongi how-"
Yoongi held out his hands, "He is one smart man. He figured it out but as I said, he doesn't know everything."
Jimin stood up abruptly, "What is the plan here?"
Yoongi smirked, "We will have to be smart and let it run a natural course without-"
"Without letting anyone else know?"
Yoongi nodded, "Exactly, I brought him so he would cheer Yumei up, so now we will have to get them to go on date or something."
Jimin grinned, "Wow, look at you. Yoon the matchmaker."
"Do not call me that!"
Jimin couldn't contain his laughter, "But you are... You who would be her saviour in the end."
Yoongi didn't reply did he just say that? He was her saviour in the end? It was the opposite, she was his saviour. She was just a fluff ball who would creep into your heart and plant a seed of hope and make the world a better place. "We should get going."
Jimin nodded, "There is a flaw in your plan."
"What flaw?"
Jimin rolled his eyes, "Yumei doesn't own a phone. So how will they communicate?"
Yoongi thought for a second, "Why not make it interesting and let them do it the old way."
"What old way?"
Yoongi placed his arm around Jimin's shoulders and they started walking to Yumei's room, "We call them letters."
"Sometimes you do amaze me..."
Jin and Hoseok returned to the Manor, "Get Yamato here so we can have a party in honour of his having my life."
Hoseok nodded, "I will get to it, sir. I have texted Namjoon but he didn't reply yet."
Jin nodded, "That is fine. We can handle it later, we will have to rearrange our plans at least we do not have to worry about the freshmen anymore."
He walked to his office and opened the door, he had to get his plan moving and cancelling the freshmen's initiation was a gold start.
He wanted that mystery party to go off without a hitch, that was where he would take everything from Mr Kazuma.
He was going to kidnap Yumei, and if she doesn't comply he will go after Mr Kazuma personally. But what if he gets his mother-
Yes, that would be a better plan, get him out of the way and the Kazuma family would be open for a takeover. Then he would make Yumei his wife, but... He thought back to where they were practising for the run marathon.
She was a fragile thing and he felt sorry for her, he was about to call off his plan that involved her but seeing Yoongi who made him iron his resolve.
He betrayed this family for what? Going to the Kazuma family and play bodyguard for this- this porcelain doll?
He needed a new plan about Yumei too, yes he wants to kidnap her but what if he tries to make her love him first then do the kidnapping plan?
"I need to talk to Hoseok..." He sat down behind his desk, "Too many possibilities what could go wrong?"
Yoongi and Jimin entered Yumei's hospital room, they weren't even noticed and saw that Namjoon was kneeling in front of her, "You should not stop smiling Yuki. Your smile lit up the world."
Yoongi made a gagging sound so they knew they were there. Jimin elbowed him in the ribs.
Namjoon told up and took Yuki's hand. "I guess this is where I say goodbye."
Yumei looked him in the eyes, the world stopped for a few seconds and they were the only ones there. "I will see you again?"
It came out more as a question than a statement, Namjoon saw the hope in her eyes, "Whenever I can."
She didn't want to let go of his hand, he took a few steps so that their hands let go of each other slowly.
She watched him turn his back on her, "Your jacket!"
Namjoon turned his gaze back to her, "You keep it, as a promise."
He walked past Yoongi and Jimin, "Thank you."
They nodded and turned their attention to Yumei, who sat with a smile looking at them, "I think..."
Yoongi finished her sentence, "In love?"
