Loud beeps, people muttering was only what she heard. Her body felt numb, she didn't feel anything. Her eyes slowly opened up, shadows of the people who were surrounding her was the first thing she saw. Her eyes felt heavy and she closed them back then drifted off to the darkness.

--•☆•--

Muffled noises, someone sobbing was what she heard when she was slipping back to consciousness. Her mind ran through her thoughts while her eyes were still closed. Her body was numb, her head was ringing.

"Mama You will be okay" she heard someone speak from a far distance.

Her eyes wavered, and her lips quivered. She wanted to speak and open her eyes but her muscles weren't moving. She felt tired.

Her body relaxed when she felt a warm touch on her hand, and just like that she drifted off to another sleep.

--•☆•--

The clock striked twelve, the midnight moon shined brightly among the calm clouds. Her eyes fluttered opened.

Her vision was blury, she blinked for quite a while to clear her vision.

Someone was holding her hand, some soft fingers wrapped around her wrist. She tilted her head and her eyes softened.

Her one and only son sat there with his head hanging low while he slept, her baby.

Choi Baekhyun.

The seventeen year old boy was her everything, it confused her on what he was doing here. He wasn't supposed to be here, he was supposed to be studying in Canada. He was supposed to be out of all these stuff.

She wanted to speak up but her throat was dry, she looked back at the ceiling and slowly exhaled. What was she doing here? And that's when memories sweeped back into her mind.

The first thought she had was about Namjoon, forgetting about her pain she immediately tried to sit up waking Baekhyun in the process.

Her eyes wavered, her lips trembled.

She wanted to know if he was okay. Baekhyun's Eyes widened "Mama no! You have to lay down" Baekhyun slowly pushed her back and adjusted her pillow "are you in pain?" he asked softly.

"J-Joon" she said catching Baekhyun off guard, "N-Namjoon, i-is he-" she couldn't say any more words, she felt vulnerable.

Tears trickled down the side of her eyes and Baekhyun panicked.

"Don't cry mama, the man who was next to you is okay. He is in the next room, Mama are you in pain, shall I call the doctor?" Baekhyun asked again, her heart eased when she heard him say that Namjoon was okay.

"W-water" she managed to say, Baekhyun immediately poured her a glass and lifted her head then placed it on her lips. Slowly she drank it down and sighed at the satisfaction.

"Thankyou" she said now in ease. "What are you d-doing here Baek?" She asked her eyes narrowing.

"What are you talking about Mama, It's been three years since we met. You just casted me away from you, I wanted to spend time with you" Baekhyun muttered softly, her eyes softened.

The reason she sent him to Canada was because it wasn't safe for him over here. Staying with her can bring him danger.

Baekhyun sighed "Rest for now Mama, once you are okay let's talk about this"

--•☆•--

One whole day passed by, She was now able to sit up straight. She had been asking Baekhyun if Namjoon had woken up yet but unfortunately he hasn't yet woken up.

He was probably in so much pain, the sword literally pierced through both their abdomens. Angel was sure she is going to have a scar, another added to her skin.

Another day passed by and she heard that Namjoon had woken up, she wanted to check on him by herself but she was weak. Baekhyun took great care of her, better than she takes care of herself.

He would feed her, help her dress up and even comb her hair and plait it. He was such a sweetheart. Hyun-Jin had come by to check on her too.

He had also informed the panicked Kim brothers about Namjoon, They hadn't said that Namjoon was injured though. Only that he was with her. None of them knows that Angel and Namjoon were almost about to die.

Another day passed by and she was able to take little steps by Baekhyun's Help. Baekhyun looked Like a mother now and that made her laugh, he would glare at her when she laugh but then smiles.

She begged Baekhyun to take her to Namjoon and right now she was limping out of her room to the next.

"Angel" Namjoon, Angel looked up and her eyes teared up. There was Namjoon walking by the help of a nurse, the two meeting at the mid hallway.

She smiled and he did too, the two quickly limped towards eachother leaving a dumbfounded nurse and Baekhyun behind. He spread his hand and she immediately hugged him.

Her face buried in his chest while his on the crook of her neck "Are you okay Namjoon?" She asked and he hummed.

"What about you Angel?" He asked and she hummed as her eyes closed. The warmth radiating from each other was enough for them to forget about their injuries. "I'm sorry, I should've gone with Yoongi. If so you wouldn't be hurt" Namjoon said as they pulled away.

"No, don't say that. It was my fault. I should've killed them twice" she muttered making him chuckle, a small smile tugged on her lips. An awkward cough broke them apart, Baekhyun watched them blush with his nose scrunched.

"Why don't you two love Birds get inside a room" Baekhyun said and the nurse beside him nodded. Baekhyun knew very well what kind of bond the two had, he was happy to be honest.

He was happy for her.

After everyone settled in one room they started having lunch along with Baekhyun.

"How old are you Baekhyun?" Namjoon asked thanking as Baekhyun served him some steaming hot soup.

"Seventeen" Baekhyun replied and Namjoon choked on air, the two looked at him wide eyed.

"W-What? That means Angel had you when she was eight?" Namjoon asked and Angel choked on her soup, Baekhyun immediately patted his mothers back and handed her water while laughing.

"No mister, I'm not her blood, she saved me from a mad scientist six years ago and ever since she has been taking care of me being the mother figure I never had" he said and her heart warmed up as her eyes softened.

"You are my son, blood related or not it doesn't matter to me" she said caressing Baekhyun's hand, Baekhyun leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her head.

"I know Mama, I know" he whispered, Namjoon's heart literally Swooned at the interaction of the two. It made him want to have a son.

When he found out she had a son his heart ached, not because that she had been with another guy but because she had to keep him away from herself. It must have been painful. Sending him Canada must have been the hardest descision she has made.

"C'mon now, drink it all up" Baekhyun muttered and started eating his own lunch. Little conversations went on as they finished Lunch.

Angel had requested the hospital to keep Namjoon and her in one room. Baekhyun on the other hand wondered if it would be right for him to stay there anymore.

The door opened as a nurse walked in, they all looked at her holding a bouquet of Roses along with a card. "Miss Scott, this is for you" she placed the gifts on her lap and walked away.

The two boys watched as she opened the card.

A beautiful smile came onto her face.

"Who is it from?" Baekhyun asked and she chuckled then closed the card.

"Matt" she simply answered making Baekhyun whistle, now that made Namjoon frown.

"Who is Matt? And how come he has only sent flowers to you?" Namjoon asked, Baekhyun awkwardly coughed and stood up. Before Angel could stop him he sprinted out of the room.

"Matt is a Friend of Mine" she simply said and sniffed on the flowers, she wasn't a big fan of roses but she appreciated Matt's effort to make her smile.

"You don't even like Roses, your favourites are Lavender" Namjoon said making her look at him with a raised eyebrow.

"How do you know?" She asked and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Easy, you smell like Lavenders, your garden is almost filled by Lavenders. You always have fresh Lavender placed in the vase of your office, the vases in the halls are filled with Lavender. The whole house smells Lavender" he said and she blinked furiously, suddenly the two started giggling.

Her heart fluttered when he said that, none had ever known that Lavenders were her favourite. He had noticed it.

"Do You want a rose" She took a rose out and stretched her hand at him, he looked at the rose and back at her eyes. Her soft smile made his heart flutter.

"Thankyou" he smiled and took it in his hold, The two looked away Blushing like teens. "Who is Matt?" He asked her making her look at him "Is he really a friend?" Namjoon asked softly. She sighed and fiddled with her fingers.

"He is my ex-lover, now he is my friend" she softly answered and looked back at him. The two stared at eachother until She felt tired "I want to sleep" she whispered and yawned.

"Me too" Namjoon muttered and slid under the sheets, Namjoon watched as her eyes closed. Her beautiful form was wrapped around blankets on a single bed.

After making sure that she really was asleep he slowly got of the bed and walked towards her night stand. He picked up the card and opened it.
