6 five: A precious night

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Oh, Yes! Thank you!" Lina couldn't even imagine that one of her favorite person will come to save her. It was like a dream to her and she doesn't want to get up from this dream.

"You should be careful." Tae Ri said and left her hand.

"Yes, I understand! Thank you!" she was shivering not out of fear but out of excitement.

"Thank you! I am really grateful." Dae Ju came to them and said to Tae Ri.

"Are you...." he looked at him with questionable eyes.

"Yes, he is my husband," answered Lina gently.

"Nice couple!" saying this he walked away to the stage and went to his teammates. Then they vanished from their eyesight to the backstage. Dae Ju felt proud of himself that he raised such a good kid. Though he was five years younger than him Dae Ju was proud of him. Will he be that proud if he stands on the stage rather than here? He would have probably scolded him and told him to hurry up as Nam Gil was calling when he came to save Lina. He is now seeing everything differently. When Min Jae, Jung Haeok, Nam Gil, Jong Goo, Cha Woon, Tae Ri, all of them left Dae Ju was watching them and couldn't move his eyesight. He feels like he can go with them too but alas! It wasn't true. None of them can recognize him when he was in front of their eyes.

"Let's go!" Lina called him.

"Oh?" he came back to reality and looked at Lina. Her scarf has been torn and her forehead was bleeding.

"Ah! You get hurt! How could you....Come with me." seems like he was more hurt than her.

"It's okay! It will be fine!" said Lina but Dae Ju didn't listen to her. He holds her hand and dragged her with him. People were coming out and there was a gathering of lots of people. So, it was not that easy for Dae Ju to come out from that crowd. However, they came out after a lot of struggle. They came to a bus station though they don't need to take a bus for went back to home.

"Sit here." Dae Ju makes Lina sit on the bench and he went to a nearby shop. After a few minutes, he came back with a small first aid kit.

"Let me see." he took her scarf and see that she was badly injured.

"How could this happen?" he asked while he was cleaning the blood.

"I don't know either. I was just hit by someone and then I fall. I didn't notice anything." she answered.

"Look how you hurt yourself!" he was very gentle this time.

"Ah!" she screamed with a little sound as she was hurt. After cleaning the blood with some cotton, he applied some liquid medicine on a cotton bud and gently applied it to her forehead. It was hurting more but she was quiet. She remembered about those times when he used to beat her. He never looked at her and never asked her if she was okay or not. She used to beat the pain with her teary eyes in one corner of the home. But he acted like nobody was there and left her alone without taking a look at her. She thought, how could a man change this much? Seems like he was in more pain than her. Seeing her blood he was scared though it wasn't new to him. She has experienced too much pain that it was nothing to her but he was acted like he is seeing her for the first time like that. But she was feeling nice. It was a good thing for her that he changed this much but it was quite confusing for her to admit the truth. But she slowly absorbs the truth.

The road was blank but not dark. No buses were there yet so there were no passengers. The two of them were sitting on the roadside bench alone while spending very precious time. Dae Ju applied the medicine and as he was going to wrap the injured place with a bandage, he starts blowing wind with his mouth to dried the liquid medicine. He was too close to her but he didn't notice this time. Lina was just looking at him with no response. She was sitting like a statue. After a few moments, Dae Ju put the bandage on her injured place and said,

"Done! I am sorry. You get hurt because of me."

"No! It's okay! How could this be your fault?" Lina said while looking another way.

"I took you there so it was my fault. If I didn't go to the concert with you, this would never happen," said Dae Ju with a guilty face.

"Ei! Why you are acting like that! It's nothing!" Lina said while touching the bandage.

"But still...." Dae Ju was going to say something but she stopped him.

"I told you it's nothing for me! I already experienced..." she tried to remind him about the last but stopped. Suddenly he could see past scenery when this guy used to beat her up. So he felt bad for her. But he couldn't understand what he should do.

"Let's go. It's late." He stood up and extended his towards her. She holds his hand and gets up. Both of them start walking beside each other. Lina was happy today. Her dream came true. She could go to the concert of *EXTREME BOYS* always. Though she gets hurt at least she could watch them from very close. And after that when Tae Ri came to save her, she blushed while holding his hand. She could never imagine this could happen. And when they came out, he was behaving like someone else. He is not that person whom she used to know. He acted like he couldn't bear it when she got hurt. "Is it really him or someone else?" She asked in her mind. Though it was true that he is someone else now but who will make her understand now? She will not believe it if someone comes and tell her the truth. On the other side, Dae Ju was feeling guilty by remembering those memories.

"How can someone be that rude to a sweet girl like her? No wonder it was evil not a human. What if he left this body now and that thing came back in this body? Will it become like that again? Will this guy behave with her like that again? Will she get hurt and continued getting hurt physically and mentally again? What if it....." he thoughts when walking.

Some people were going on their way home as it was late enough. As it's the new year, people forget that they have to sleep on this night. They just enjoyed themselves in their own way. All the lights were lightning and the road was looking very beautiful. The snowfall was not that heavy so they can easily walk in the cold but romantic weather. There was an overbridge. It was decorated so well that it was attacking the views of almost every person. As there were not many people, the place was almost empty. Dae Ju looked at Lina and saw that she was enjoying the scenery. She was looking so happy. She couldn't even blink her eyes for a single moment. Seeing her this happy, Dae Ju also feels happy and he forgot all his worries within a single moment. Dae Ju smiled and got blushed. He went close to her and said,

"Let's go there." as she was looking at the overbridge.

"Really?" Lina was so surprised and excited. She didn't enjoy the new year arrangement before specially at night. She couldn't imagine it could be this beautiful! After she came to this country, she just got hurt and hurt maybe that's why she didn't get a chance to enjoy the scenery in her own way.

"Hmm," answered Dae Ju smilingly. They went on the overbridge and she was looking so happy and pretty together. Though she was cold she forgot it because she was too busy enjoying the scenery.

"Lina-ah! Look here!" Dae Ju was filming themselves with his phone.

"Oh?" she couldn't understand first but when she gets it she smiled cutely while looking at the phone. Though he wasn't finished filming she turned around and feel the beauty of the scenery. Dae Ju was also watching the view but he also filmed it with his phone. While recording the video, he saw Lina went far from him. She was looking up and down with a very happy face. Her scarf was not on her head anymore. She took it in her hand because it was torn. Her tied hair couldn't fly in the air but they were trying hard to fly. She was looking like an art of nature.

Suddenly Dae Ju felt something very strange. He stopped filming and slowly put his phone in his pocket again. He walked to her slowly. The felt like there was nothing around him. He only can see her. This scenery which amazed Lina was nothing towards him. Though Lina was wondering watching the lights, Dae Ju was wondered by watching her. He was stepping forward but seems like the path is a neverending path and it was taking too much to reach her. Feels like his body turned into a stone and that's why he couldn't able to walk faster. He never felt like that but it was not feeling bad. It was strange, something waved inside his chest. The whole sight becoming blur around her but she was clear. Her white overcoat was shining from far. She stopped walking though she was not walking. She was just moving forward very slowly while looking around.

He reached to her very slowly and grabbed her wrist. Lina surprised by his sudden act and looked at him. Dae Ju also looked at her. This time he didn't hesitate to look at her. He continued looking at her and can continue for the rest of his life. The new year carnival was still running and some of the fireworks were still be seen from there.

"What?" Lina asked with a very low voice. She couldn't understand anything why he came so close to her and why he kept looking at her. Did she looks that ugly or has she something on her face. Dae Ju slowly holds her hand tightly and went more closer. This time she could understand what was going on. She gulped and was hesitating to look at him. He slowly touched her chin and make her look at him. He went more closer. Suddenly she couldn't understand what she should do but she started to like it so she stayed still without saying anything.

Dae Ju's heart was pounding as it will burst in no times but he didn't want to control it and let it pound like crazy. Slowly he bends his head as he was taller than her and found the right place. He put his lips on her slowly and closed his eyes. Lina was shocked by his sudden attack but she realized it with no time and closed her eyes. He slowly grabbed her back and pulled her in front of him and hugged her while doing the unwanted thing. He was getting harder on her and when will it stop, nobody knows.
