Wounded

Nia and Myungsoo were walking to the bus stand. A guy in a cycle came in a fast speed and grabbed Nia's locket and bag. Nia ran after him forgetting everything. She grabbed his collar from back causing him to stop the cycle. She was fighting with the thief for a mere locket because she bought it thinking about Kris.

" Give it back. You scoundrel. "

Myungsoo didn’t want Nia to get hurt. " Nia, please stop. It's dangerous. "

The thief got scared and threw the things and pushed Nia to ran away. Nia fell down. Her ankle got twisted and had some bruises on her hands. Myungsoo got really angry. He hit the thief really badly. The thief ran and Myungsoo came towards Nia.

" Nia, you're so careless. Just for a cheap locket. "

" It's not cheap. Whenever I look at it. I think of Kris. Now, help me. I can't get up. "

Myungsoo helped Nia and took her to the hospital. The nurse was cleaning her wound. It burned. Nia hold Myungsoo's hand to ease the pain.

Myungsoo blushed when Nia touched her " Nia, now you understand the result of being over confident. "

Nia's ankle was swollen. She couldn’t walk that's why Myungsoo was supporting Nia while Nia took support of his shoulder.

On the other hand....

Nia's mother was worried sick because it was getting late and Nia didn’t came home. She knocked on Kris's door.

" Can you stay at home with Noah while I search Nia ? She hasn’t came yet. "

" Okay, Auntie but you calm down. Nia is fine. "

Nia's mother called Lyla to get the address of the restaurant she works in. Myungsoo and Nia came to Nia's home. They pressed the bell and were shocked to see Kris.

" You... where's eomma ? "

" What happened to your leg ? "

Myungsoo in his inner mind " So, this is Kris. He's quite handsome but because of him Nia is acting strange nowadays. She even got hurt. "

" This is not the place to have a conversation. Let Nia sit. "

" I'll help her. " said Kris

Myungsoo raised his eyebrow " I helped her until now. So, I'm quite capable to take care of her. "

" I'm not questioning your capabilities. You helped her until now. Now I'll help her. "

There was an indirect war between Kris and Myungsoo.

" Guys, stop it. Just take me to my room. "

Myungsoo and Kris hold her from both sides. Nia subconsciously moved toward Kris. Kris made her sit on her bed holding her waist while Nia grabbed his shoulder. Kris was focusing on Nia's leg and Nia was looking at Kris's face.

" It's looks really bad. How did it happened ? "

" She got hurt just for a stupid locket. " Myungsoo was annoyed

" You told me it was for a special person. Who is it ? " asked Kris

" It doesn’t matter. It matters that Nia got hurt. That person isn’t special. "

" Myungsoo, stop. I'm already upset. My leg really hurts. I can't practice. I'll even lose the waitress job, have to miss school too. "

Nia was really upset. She covered her face with her hand. Kris kneeled down and got close to Nia.

" Don't worry about anything. Just focus on your health. "

Nia was relieved after hearing Kris " Okay, Myungsoo. I can't come to work. Give the job to someone else. "

" You'll be fine in a week. Don't worry. "

" No, I can't betray Aunt's trust. "

" For now we'll find a replacement. After that you can rejoin. "

" Who'll be the replacement ? Just let it be. "

" I'll do it. " said Kris

" What ? No. I can't burden you. You already have a lot of work. "

" It's fine. I'll take the money of the week I work. "

" But.. "

" It's okay, Nia. "

" Of course, it's okay. You're not working for free. You'll get the money for your work. " said Myungsoo

" Hey, Kris is helping me. Don't taunt him. "

At that time Nia's mother came " Where were you ? Why didn’t you call me ? I was so worried sick. Did you break your leg ? "

" I was just too busy on my wound. I didn’t had the time to call you. It's just a twist and minor injuries. I'll be fine. "

" How can you be fine ? I told you to not to be reckless. But you hang out with dangerous people. " Nia's mother said that while looking at Myungsoo

" Eomma, don't be like that to Myungsoo. He helped me today a lot. My injuries occured due to my mistake. "

" Whatever.. Kris, Thank you. You stayed here when I told you to. " said Nia's mother

" It's fine, Auntie. "

" Myungsoo in his inner mind " Not only he got in on his side. He also managed to impress Auntie. What is in him ? I also have to work with him in the next days. I'll see what he's made of. "
