Chapter Seven

So that is San, he started talking to me to tell me a bit about the other guys to calm me down, holding my hand the whole time. As he talks about them, he keeps smiling showing how much he cares for the others especially the way he talks about this Wooyoung and Yeosang. He speaks with so much adoration for these other guys its almost heart wrenching because nobody ever cared for me like that but my parents. Eventually Yunho arrives with a few of the others and Yunho embraces me in a hug forgetting for a minute that I am hurt, which makes Hongjoong smack him on the head when he releases me to be gentler. I figured it was Hongjoong because of the way San described him as caring father. Yunho then tells me how sorry he was about not helping sooner, and that my uncle is going to jail for a long time unless he has money to get himself out. I do not really feel anything now because I don't know what is going to happen, I mean I can't live by myself and I don't have any other family so what will I do? As if sensing my frustration in the matters Yunho looks at me and says that I can stay with them and that they all just moved in with each other a couple months ago. Seonghwa then gently smiles at me and says they are going to give me my own room so I can even have my own privacy and they will all take care of me from now on. Yeosang was quite quiet and only spoke when spoken too. Eventually a bunch of them had to leave due to visiting hours being over, they said they would all switch out who stays with me so the other can leave and get changed and good sleep. The first to stay was of course Yunho. We stayed up a bit talking about everything including how long it was going on that my uncle was beating me and why I didn't tell him and the reality was I just thought he wouldn't care, and what could he do about it anyway? He was obviously upset at that answer. "Himari...I always have cared, I just wanted to give you the space you wanted. I thought that's what you wanted. I never wanted to leave your side. You are and always will be my best friend." He said while sniffling and holding my hand. We then talk about what he has been up to for the past 2 years and we laugh a little until I fall asleep too tired from everything to try to stay awake for it all. I fall asleep smiling because I know my friend is there and will not leave.

Yunho POV

'I cant believe she thought I wouldn't care. Psh what a pabo. She doesn't deserve anything she told me he did to her'. I silently sit beside her and sob a bit and walk into the bathroom and call Hongjoong and after a few rings he answers "hello?" "Hongjoong I am sorry for calling so late" I say through sniffles. "Yunho whats wrong why are you crying? Did something happen to Himari while we have been gone? Is she okay?" He asks his voice laced with concern about my crying. "I just wanted to talk, I didn't want her to hear me crying so I went to the bathroom, we just talked and she told me this has been going on for years" I said through as silently as possible crying. "Yunho it isn't your fault for not knowing, there wasn't anything we could have done until we saw it like we did. What is important now is you being there for her now. We are going to have to heal her and show her the good in the world and with a puppy like you it shouldn't be too hard okay" I could hear him smiling through the phone. He always knows what to say to cheer me up. "Thanks hongjoong hyung you always know what to say to make me feel better." I say smiling. "Yunho no problem, try to get some sleep and go back in there with her and we will see you tomorrow okay? We will bring food too" "Okay thanks hyung, see you guys tomorrow." We say our goodbyes and hang up, I go back out after wiping my face and clearing all evidence of crying and go back out and hold her hand while she sleeps and fall asleep on my arm that's on the bed.

End of Yunho POV

The next morning.....

I wake up after a few nightmares which Yunho coaxed me back to sleep by singing for me and rubbing my hand soothingly. He does not even know how much I appreciate him. I must start some therapy today to start working my body to be strong enough to be able to get by on my own even though the guys make jokes about just carrying me everywhere. I just met them all yesterday and they treat me like family. I noticed when things get a little out of hand Seonghwa yells at them and tell them to be kind because I am not used to this kind of treatment and might scare me away. Yunho just laughs at them all knowing he will beat them if they were to scare me. Yeosang has been beside me to give me encouragement to walk around and has distracted me by talking about things we both love it helps that his voice is smooth like listening to your favorite song, but he is such a sweet heart, he always asks me if I am okay and if I need something. Mingi and Wooyoung seem to be the silly ones in the group also very loud. Mingi looked so scary the first time I met him and now I know he is a big teddy bear goof. The next one staying the night with me is San. I am not worried because he was kind the first day I met him. They said if I do good enough today walking that I can go home tomorrow. I can't stand being in this hospital so I push myself really hard today walking and even though it hurt and my legs were shaking I managed to do what they required for me to go home, I have a lot of restrictions like no stairs and no strenuous exercise that could open my stitches. I feel like knowing me its bound to happen but I am hoping it'll be easier when I am free of this place. Eventually everyone says their goodbye except for San who is there with me holding my hand like Yunho was once doing.
