The atmosphere was calm as she opened her eyes, the numbness of her body was disappearing and she could feel pain surge through her body. She let's out a quite whimper and looked at her side.

There laid Namjoon, sleeping peacefully on his bed while facing her direction. His full lips tugged into a pout, his posture of sleeping was equivalent to a baby.

How long has it been since she watched him this close? She had purposefully avoided him for his own good. He shouldn't get involved in her life, she was scared.

Scared to loose him, his pure soul should be kept pure. She doesn't want him to get into her life, he would leave her the instant he sees her past.

She doesn't want herself to be hurt neither does she want him to be hurt. Once she is fine she will immediately send the Kim's and Jeon away. It's better that way.

A tear slipped sown her eye as she closed her eyes, oh how she wished to have a normal life. Oh how she wished that she never met Namjoon under these events, how she wished she had met Namjoon in a beautiful place.

She couldn't control her sobs, with her eyes closed she sobbed harder. Her wound hurt, her head hurt and her heart hurt. She wanted to give up, she is in the urge to give up. She hated the life she was living.

"Angel!" Namjoon breathes out her name, her eyes fluttered open but she couldn't stop sobbing. Seeing him awake only made her cry more, how she wished to hug that perfect man before her eyes, only she knew the pain she was going through.

"Does the wound hurt, I'll—I'll call the doctor" sheer panic spread through him as he scrambled to his feet, he immediately pressed the emergency button asking for someone to come.

He limped towards her bed and held her hand "Hey Angel, It's okay I'm right here with you, once the doctor comes you will be alright okay" he sat on the edge of her bed and caressed her cheek.

His thumb wiped off her fresh tears and she closed her eyes, the warmth radiating from his hand was calming her down. What did she do to deserve such a precious man?

"Go" she whispered and looked at him, his brows furrowed as he listened to her "Don't come to me" she whispered as he caressed her hand. His heart ached, her words were painful. He knew what she was thinking. He was no fool, her eyes told all her pain. 

"Whenever I see you or think about you all I want is to protect you, I know you are broken and that makes me want to heal you, Angel please" his gaze bored into hers as his fingers caressed her cheek "let me be your light"

"Namjoon" she cried and he leaned forward, his lips pressed against hers, her eyes closed as she kissed him back.

She missed this, she missed him, she missed his warmth, he is making her soft.

Their lips moved on each others as they expressed their emotion, her hand raised and she placed it on his chest, she could feel his unsteady heart beats and that made her heart swell.

He was real, his feelings were real. This was real.

The door burst opened and in entered many doctors, Namjoon and Angel immediately pulled away. The doctors stood their frigid while Namjoon and Angel looked at each other awkwardly.

"So it really wasn't an emergency?"

--•☆•--

"Guess who came with red velvet cakes!!" Baekhyun burst into the room with two mini boxes of cakes in his hold, he stopped on his tracks when he saw Namjoon and Angel sleeping on the same bed.

Smirking he slowly tip toed into the room and placed the cakes on the little coffee table at the corner of the room. Slowly he walked towards the peacefully sleeping couple, taking out his phone he immediately captured a picture of them together.

He knew that they were meant to be together, someone is speaking in his heart saying that this man who was hugging his mother would make sure to keep her happy.

Would Kim Namjoon be able to bring happiness to both of them?

Baekhyun sighed, he had to give these two their needed privacy. Turning on his heels he immediately walked out the room.

Just as he exited the room he knocked onto a manly chest, gasping he immediately held onto the wall beside him to refrain from falling. Looking up he was met by wide surprised eyes.

"Baek"

"Uncle Jackson!" Baekhyun's eyes darkened, before the boy could think his mind worked on its own accord, his right hand formed a fist and he threw a punch at the latter.

The punch sent Jackson flying across the hallway, Jackson fell hard on the ground and groaned in impact. His eyes widened at the strength of the youngers.

Even Baekhyun was surprised by his actions "are you okay uncle?" Baekhyun immediately crouched beside his fallen uncle and helped him up.

"Damn Baek what was that for?" Jackson asked as he palmed his left cheek, a bruise has replaced his soft skin.

"For hurting my mother" Baek shrugged his shoulder and continued glaring at his uncle.

"Agh Baek it wasn't me!" Jackson stomped his foot frustratingly, why does everyone accuse him without proper evidence?

"aha? And you want me to believe it?" Baekhyun asked taking a daring step forward, Even though Jackson was older and more stronger Baekhyun's gaze made him feel powerless for some reason.

"I swear It wasn't me, Someone else plotted this" Jackson muttered and took a step back from Baekhyun. "Matt trusts me Baek he knows that I am innocent"

"I don't trust you yet, So you won't visit my mother" Baekhyun stood in front of the door like a guard making Jackson sigh.

"But anyways, What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be with Angel, it's too dangerous for you Baekhyun" Jackson said, worry laced in his voice and Baekhyun wondered if this was all a facade.

"Don't worry about me, I'm doing alright" Baekhyun said making Jackson sigh frustratingly. The door behind Baekhyun opened and out walked Namjoon with a confused expression.

"I heard someone yelling here Baek what's wrong?" Namjoon asked and when his gaze landed on Jackson his blood ran cold.

"You!!" the duo said in unison, before Baekhyun could stop any of them the two charged at each other.

Namjoon threw a punch at the latter making him loose balance, it didn't take Jackson a second to gain his balance, he grabbed Namjoon by his collar and slammed him on the wall.

"You son of a murderer" Jackson's words were sharp as a knife, the anger that seeped through him was dangerous.

"You son of a dead" Namjoon did a headbutt, The sound of Jackson's nose cracking made Baekhyun wince. "How dare you hurt our Angel" Namjoon kicked the man on his abdomen sending him flying across the hall.

Jackson harshly hit on a wall and fell on his butt, with one hand on his bleeding nose and the other hand on the wall beside him he stood up and glared at Namjoon.

"What are you doing here? With Angel" Jackson muttered and now Baekhyun decided to interfere.

"He's my soon to be dad" Baekhyun said leaving the two older men dumbfounded. Heat rushed onto Namjoon's cheeks and confusion rushed into Jackson's head.

"What did you say?" Jackson asked again while blinking furiously.

"I'm not the one to repeat what I said but I don't mind saying this again, Namjoon here is my soon to be dad" Baekhyun said and smiled proudly.

Jackson stood there silently until he scoffed in disbelief, biting his lower lip he looked at Namjoon who was holding his injured hip. "don't tell me you like Angel and Angel likes you" Jackson said nervously.

"Well duh" Baekhyun uttered making Jackson sigh.

"I will not let you have her" Jackson's gaze darkened as he charged towards Namjoon, Baekhyun immediately pushed Jackson away from Namjoon.

"Enough Uncle, what did he ever do for you to fight him?" Baekhyun who was clueless on why they were fighting asked frustratingly.

"He" Jackson pointed at Namjoon "His father was the reason my father killed himself" Jackson said and Baekhyun listened.

"Well it isn't our fault that your father couldn't hold back" Namjoon answered making more anger boil in Jackson, before Jackson could throw a punch at Namjoon Baekhyun interfered.

"oh please, will both of you stop!" Baekhyun whisper yelled "Let's talk some where else, I don't want to disturb mama's peaceful sleep" Baekhyun grabbed Jackson by his sleeve and walked towards the elevator.

Namjoon slowly limped behind them with a hand placed on his hip over the injury, once they reached the cafeteria Baekhyun made the duo sit at two chair and sat between them.

"Now talk out your problems, throwing fists doesn't solve ish" Baekhyun muttered after he ordered an orange juice.

"I have nothing to talk about" Jackson said and looked away from Namjoon making Namjoon scoff.

"I walked all the way here with my injury Jackson, So you better tell the whole freaking story to me" Namjoon said sternly "I might be able to help you take revenge" those words made Jackson frown.

"you'll let me kill your father?" Jackson asked as his left eyebrow arched questioningly.

"I might, if you really prove that my father had killed your father" Namjoon said and Jackson let a huff out in amusement. Jackson leaned forward to speak up.

Baekhyun held his arrived orange juice by both his hands and took a sip off the straw, he was so ready to listen to the story.

"I was only six, all I remember was my father coming home all stressed and tired, my parents would stay away from us and talk all alone, my mom was always worried while my father looked frustrated. Weeks passed like that, we had little food on the table" Jackson gaze wandered around his feet.

"Each day turned out worse for them, and then one day we found out that my father had killed himself" Jackson let out a long breath and looked at Namjoon.

"I didn't understand anything at that age, but once I grew older I did. My mom and brother told how my father worked in the Kim's enterprises. He used to be the chairman's assistant. He was wrongly accused of selling projects that were meant to be kept as a secret"

"Wait" Namjoon seemed like he remembered something, "Your fathers name, is it Wang Donghai?"

Baekhyun looked from Namjoon to Jackson while sipping on his drink, this was getting interesting.

"It is" Jackson said his eyes twinkling with tears.

"I remember" Namjoon said softly, but his eyebrows furrowed. It seemed like he was in deep thinking "are you sure your father had killed himself?" he asked making Jackson frown.

"Of course I am, My mom told me—" Jackson stopped speaking, his mother had told him but he hasn't seen it himself. Jackson tilted his head and stared at Namjoon.

"Your mom told you, but you haven't seen it have you?" Namjoon asked, Jackson felt as if his heart was about to shred into pieces.

"Jackson, Your father" Namjoon wondered if it would be alright to tell the truth, "Wang Donghai was murdered" his words made Jackson's heart drop instantly.

"No" Jackson muttered softly and shook his head, denying Namjoon's words. All this while he thought his father killed himself.

why did Namjoon had to say that so late?

Why does he feel like Namjoon is saying the truth.

"I'm sorry Jackson but, I'm telling the truth. I remember when I was eight my parents were talking about a person who was murdered, that day many policemen stormed into our house, me and my siblings were hiding in our room" Namjoon muttered.

"Your father was murdered and my father was threatened to close it up as a suicide even though he had no part in that" Namjoon said and Jackson palmed his face. Namjoon couldn't imagine the pain Jackson was going through, he was lied to all this time. 

"I'll help you catch the real murderer" Namjoon spoke up making Jackson look at him through tears. "If your father was wrongly accused of selling secret projects that means the murderer is among us" Namjoon's voice deepened as his gaze darkened "I have to go back to work for that" Namjoon looked at Baekhyun.

"Your mother wouldn't be happy if I leave without saying her, But I don't want to burden her anymore. It's time we handle this matter by ourselves" Namjoon said and Jackson nodded wiping off his tears. He didn't want angel to get involved in this matter, he wanted her safe.

"Well then what are you waiting for, get into work and come back to mama after you end everything" Baekhyun said finishing his drink.

Baekhyun was proud of himself, he managed to handle two grown up men by himself, his mother would be proud of him too.

--•☆•--

His gaze wandered over her injury which was wrapped in bandages, his heart clenched. Never had he ever thought of really hurting his one and only Nuna.

She was like a second mother to him. At nights when he's having nightmares she would always skip out of her dorm and come to comfort him once he dials her number, she was the one who would always treat his wounds after practises were done.

She would always let him have the largest slice of cake at family reunions, she might look cold and ferocious but he has seen her kind heart. She is way more different than anyone imagines her to be.

A hand was placed on his shoulder taking his attention, he smiled at Namjoon who he had begin to trust, "She'll be okay" Namjoon whispered and Baekhyun who stood behind Namjoon nodded.

"I'll stay outside for you" Jackson whispered back and left with Baekhyun, Namjoon sighed and looked at Angel's sleeping form, she looked exhausted, almost dead but still beautiful.

Walking towards her he slowly leaned forward and placed a soft peck on his forehead "I'll come soon, I promise" he whispered and caressed her cheek. With a heavy heart he turned on his heels and walked out of the room.

He hoped that he would be able to solve all the problems and come back to Angel, he wanted to free her from burdens. His gaze fell on Hyunjin who stood by the elevator, Hyun-Jin smiled and bowed at him in respect.

He returned the gesture, the two got into the elevator "She'll panic once she realizes that you have left" Hyun-Jin said and Namjoon hummed.

"Please take care of her, I will not be out for long. I'll come back as soon as I solve everything" Namjoon said and Hyun-Jin nodded.

"Baek and I'll be by her side, don't worry" Hyun-Jin gave his charming smile and Namjoon nodded smiling, Angel was in safe hands.

There were people present to protect her. She was not alone, she had a whole family that loves her too much.

The two stepped out the elevator and Namjoon was led towards a car, a shining black SUV stood elegantly at the drive way of the hospital. The window rolled down and Jackson waved at him "Ready to go on a mission?"

Oh he was so ready to end all this.
