"Stop overacting, you are scaring her." Jeonsan whispered.
"What? It's seriously bleeding." Zixin defended himself.
Jeonsan sighed and helplessly shook his head.
Yuqi panicked even more when she saw the amount of blood soaked in the handkerchief. She didn't know how it had happened but she just hoped that Zixin would be okay. She didn't want to lose him again.
There were many questions she wanted to ask him but right now she couldn't think of anything else but his blood stained shirt.
Rushing towards Jeonsan's car, Yuqi pulled the back door and helped Jeonsan place Zixin inside. She then rushed to the other side and sat down.
....
Inside the car.
"Yuqi." Zixin murmured.
With his head resting on her shoulder, Yuqi was still pressing the handkerchief in his chest. "Yes, I am right here."
"Y-you don't hate me right?" Zixin asked.
Yuqi, who was already crying, vigorously shook her head. "No, I don't.
"Hmm, now can I die in peace." Zixin murmured.
Grabbing his arm, Yuqi vigorously shook her head. "No no don't say that, please."
When Yuqi started sobbing harder, Zixin quickly lifted his head up and widened his eyes in shock.
Cupping her face, Zixin started coaxing her. "Hey hey I am alright okay? See? Nothing has happened. I am all fine, please don't cry."
Jeonsan gritted his teeth and shouted, "I told you not to overact."
Looking at Zixin, Yuqi placed her hand on his cheek. "Y-you are okay?"
Zixin vigorously shook his head and said, "Yes, I am absolutely okay and nothing happened okay!"
Looking at his chest, Yuqi asked, "Then this?"
"My wound reopened but it's normal." Zixin explained.
"Reopened? But how? How did you get hurt?" Yuqi asked.
Cupping his face, Zixin explained, "I'll tell you everything but don't care anymore okay?"
"How can you say that you are okay when you are losing so much blood?" Yuqi asked.
Without waiting for his reply, Yuqi asked Jeonsan to drive faster.
...
Hospital.
Outside the Emergency room.
Pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the emergency room, Yuqi was getting anxious and impatient.
"Stop it Yuqi, you are making me feel dizzy." Min massaged her temples and complained.
"But how did this happen? I mean when did he come back?" Min asked.
"Didn't you see the news?" Seojun asked before passing him his phone.
Min widened his eyes in shock after reading the news. "Wait what? When did this happen? When did he shift the head office here?"
"Even I don't know." Seojun said.
Just then Jiyun came out of the room. When she saw Yuqi's anxious expression, she sighed.
"It's nothing to get worried about okay? His wounds reopened so we had to stitch them again."
"Is it something serious?" Yuqi asked.
"I just smacked his forehead for being so careless. Though the wounds are not that deep, it's still dangerous. He was supposed to take proper rest but he didn't and also over exerted his body which resulted in the opening of the wounds." Jiyun explained.
"Can I meet him?" Yuqi asked.
"We are shifting to the room soon."
.....
VIP ROOM.
With a bandage wrapped around his chest, Zixin awkwardly smiled at his friends. "Hey guys, long time no see."
"Dude, do you know how lucky you are that this is a hospital and you are a patient right now?" Jihun asked.
"That is true, you are indeed very lucky otherwise my fist and your eye." Seojun said.
Min narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "I'll surely thrash you after you are okay."
Yuqi, who had been standing in a corner quietly took a deep breath and started walking towards him.
Sitting down beside him, she lightly touched the scars of different shape and size which were scattered all over his shoulder, chest and stomach.
"How?" Yuqi asked. Those scars were like a stab on her chest. After seeing them, she could vaguely guess what he might've been through all these years.
Grabbing her hand, Zixin kissed her knuckles and smiled. "It doesn't hurt."
"Zixin you have to take lots and lots of rest. Your wounds are not so deep but you cannot ignore them either. They will take some time to heal but you will be okay." Jiyun instructed.
"It's fine, I'll-.".
Cutting Zixin off, Yuqi said, "He will rest, I'll make sure that he does."
"Yuqi I-"
Glaring at him, Yuqi fronwed. "Keep quiet. I said you will rest means you will rest. I'll stay with you here."
"What about your shoot?" Zixin asked.
"Shoot is not important Zi, you are." Yuqi shouted.
"Woooohhhh Zixin bro, your car is lit. The engine is like water and don't get me started with the body." Wonwoo excitedly squealed.
Zixin chuckled and said, "Keep it if you like it."
Wonwoo widened his eyes in shock and asked, "Really I can? Then what will you drive?"
Looking at Yuqi, Zixin smiled. "I'll buy a new one according to my woman's choice."
"Dude what woman? Did you even propose to her again?" Seojun asked.
"Yeah and how are you planning to compensate for that?" Min asked.
"And yes, we still need to thrash you for making our Yuqi cry." Jihun added.
"Alright for now let him rest, we can come back later." Jeonsan said.
Everyone nodded their heads and left, leaving Yuqi and Zixin behind.
.....
Outside.
"Attend a meeting for me today." Jeonsan said.
Wonwoo frowned and vigorously shook his head, "Big bro, it's weekend."
"I am taking your Jiyun out today so I am a bit busy so you will have to attend the meeting." Jeonsan declared leaving no room for negotiation.
How could he attend a meeting today? It was a big day for him today as he was going to propose to Jiyun. He was nervous, anxious and worried.
Wonwoo frowned and snapped, "You always bully me like this."
When Jeonsan gave him a threatening look, Wonwoo sighed. "Fine, which department?"
"The execution department." Jeonsan said.
Wonwoo raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you say big bro? Which department?"
