Chapter 63 - Playing Nurse

"So where do you live?" I asked Minjae when I realized that I had no idea where I was going.

He groaned and twisted and turned before opening his eyes to look at me and I looked away.

I was still mad at him for stooping to Shiwoo's level and getting himself hurt.

Today was supposed to be a happy day and here I was driving a beaten man home while trying not to cry over the other.

I looked over at Minjae and called out his name loudly has he had fell back into a slumber, "Minjae! I said where do you live?"

"Shh!" he groaned and I rolled my eyes and decided to do a U-turn to my house.

I owed him this much to get him cleaned up and rested before I send him home.

I stopped at the pharmacy on my home home and got a few bandages and disinfectant along with pain killers for him.

I want him in the very best condition when I kick his ass and chew his ear off.

We finally made it to my apartment and it was hell getting him into the building, then the elevator then the couch but luckily for me, the door man saw where he could have been at assistance and didn't cease to help.

He and I both groaned as I rolled him over on his back to inspect his stomach.

He had some really messed up bruises here and there so I got started on cleaning and patching him up.

He slept through it the whole time only wincing when I wiped too hard which I was grateful for for then I had time to think.

"Why was he so mad?" I thought as I wrapped a bandage around Minjae's stomach.

I mean he was there with Harin after all and the last time I saw them at the café together, they were all perfect couple goals vibe so what's the deal now?

If this was all a game to him I wanted all because I have real feelings, feelings that he has been trampling  on for the longest of time.

I was at a war with myself pertaining my feelings towards him.

I hated him, I really did but my body was only responsive to him and him alone.

One would expect that with all the time I have been spending with Minjae I would start developing feelings, but I honestly felt nothing.

What exists between me and Minjae are a platonic relationship and nothing more.

He was like my older brother of two years that I actually get along with and I really did consider him a brother so Shiwoo accusing me of sleeping with him really shook me to the core.

I sighed as I removed my gloves and ran a hand over my face massaging my temples, desperately trying to relieve some stress.

Shiwoo was unreadable.

This minute he is laughing and being nice, and then the next he is punching guys and throwing fits.

He said that he didn't love Harin and was simply doing his duty but what about Harin?

She is obviously trying and it is wrong to get with h even if its an open marriage because you know, girl code.

I'm sure she would do the same thing for me too right?

Right?

Who am I kidding she would jump on it in a heart beat, like literally.

Minjae groaned beside me and I went to the kitchen and brought him a glass of water handing him the pill.

His eyes were still closed when he asked me in a strained voice, "can you crush the pill and put it in juice for me please? I cannot swallow it whole.

What?

Was he serious right now? Does he think that I was his nurse.

I sighed as I realized that he was serious, returning to the kitchen and crush the pill into the juice as per his request before adding a straw and returned the couch.

I helped him to sit up on the couch and handed him the cup but he just looked at the cup. then to me, then to him hands flailing at his sides then I finally got the message that he was sending across.

"Seriously?" I asked aloud and he shook his head yeah smiling.

I placed the straw in his mouth and held the cup for him until he finished his drink his drink with a "ah".

I rolled my eyes at him as he smiled irritating his bruised eye and I laughed at him.

"You okay now?" I asked as I went to the kitchen and placed the cup into the sink.

"Mhmmm. I'm fine" he said inspecting his bandages.

I returned and sat beside him giving him a big psychotic smile, "Good. Because I am going to kill you!"

I placed my hand around his neck and gently squeezed while I shook him, "why would you pick a fight with him you idiot. You could have died!"

"Hey!" he said struggling and I removed my hands and retied my hair.

"I am not done with you yet mister. I have words for you."

He gulped as I gave him a death stare.

"You're right I'm sorry. I did provoke him and all of this could have been avoided. It was m fault and I take complete responsibility." I apologized clasping his hands.

I folded my arms and avoided his gaze but then I caved and gave in, "fine! You're forgiven but I too am to be blamed. I shouldn't have called you nor put you in a position like that. I'm sorry."

He smiled at me and outstretched his arms inviting me in for a hug and so I did.

He groaned as my body hit his too hard and I pulled away apologizing.

"So nurse" he said sounding more cheerful as the pill did its work, "does the patient get chicken noodle soup for quick recovery?"

I rolled my eyes and got off the couch walking towards the kitchen, "fine, but only because I spent my dinner money on your medicine."

"Thank you little sister slash chef." he said sweetly as I checked the fridge for the ingredients to make us a meal.

I was about to take the meat out of the freezer to thaw when I heard a knock on the door followed by a "Tally" and my heart clenched.

Shiwoo.
