She is your responsibility

Byung-ho's POV

Oh my! I have never seen this before. A female hitting Lee Chun! Well except for his elder sister Mia who hits him all the time but apart from Mia no other female dares hit Lee Chun. They all adore and worship him even though he treats them like trash, they still fall at his feet but this girl, this strange pretty girl seems like the opposite.

I was really shocked when she slapped him and I almost laughed but I knew Lee Chun would kill me if I had laughed so I managed to keep the laughter in.

This girl seems pretty interesting, I think I am liking her already....

“Okay he is gone now you need to relax, please just rest your head back, easy okay," The doctor said cajoling her to relax.

“Eesshi.... I feel like breaking his head, his big head..." She kept saying making threats and she had really funny expressions on her face causing me to chuckle softly.

“Don't worry you will get to break his head later but please try to do what the doctor asks of you, alright?" I said and she stared at me for a while.

“Okay," She said, resting her head back on the pillow gazing up at the ceiling...

After making sure she was resting properly the doctor and nurse left the ward.

“So... I have told you my name, I think it's fair if you tell me yours?" I said and she glanced at me, then shifted her focus back at the ceiling like there was something up there she was gazing at.

“Won't you tell me your name? I am sorry about your legs and the fact you are lying here in this bed. I know you must be angry_"

“Ji-a. My name is Ji-a," She said cutting me short and I smiled but then she stared at me with tears almost coming down from her eyes.

“Tell me the truth. Will I ever walk again?"
She asked and I really felt sorry for her, truly sorry for her.

“Of course. Of course you will," I said then sat down at the edge of the bed but she didn't look like someone that really believed what I said so I tried to convince her further.
“I know it will feel strange moving on a wheelchair but I'm sure you don't really need the wheelchair to walk, the work of the wheelchair is so you don't stress your legs that much so it can heal way faster. It's not like you are crippled or anything. I can't count the many times I have had to move on a wheelchair when I sprained my ankle during sports practice, but here I am standing and walking well," I said smiling and she stared at me but didn't say anything so I continued speaking.

“Let me tell you a secret," I said using a whispering voice. “Anytime I sprained my ankle and had to sit on the wheelchair I got to do nothing and demand a lot from my parents and siblings. Whenever I sit on that wheelchair I become like a king and the wheelchair becomes my throne. So for the next weeks or so you get to be queen, your parents and siblings would have to do and buy everything and anything you want while you just lazy around all day eating, sleeping and being cared for," I said hoping that would cheer her up but the reaction I got wasn't what I was expecting.

Tears just rolled down her cheeks even though she tried not to cry, she couldn't keep the tears in from running down.

“Hey... Did I say anything wrong?"
I asked, really concerned and confused.

“No, it's Nothing," She answered, wiping the tears away with the back of her palms.

“I don't believe you, I must have said something that got you this way. Please tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help?"
I said and she glanced at me.

“I doubt that, unless you can bring the dead back to live?" She said and I went mute.

“Just what I thought. You see I have no parents or siblings to pamper me. I am all I have and while the wheelchair is like a throne for you to me it's like a cage, a terrible one. How am I supposed to eat if I can't work? And how am I to work if I can't walk? If I can't make use of my legs? This can't be happening to me... "
She spoke and that's when I realized she is an orphan.

Oh my.

Lee Chun's POV

How dare she! How dare that dirty girl hit me! Huh? When I even wanted to apologise to her. I was even thrown out of the ward like I am a troublemaker. Me! Lee Chun!! I will make sure that the doctor loses his job. What nonsense!

As if that's not worse enough I just got a message from the Italian model telling me her plane is about taking off. So I missed that sexy lady with long sweet tongue just to get slapped by a tattered girl in rags??!

“Arrgg! This day can't get any worse. Füçk!" I cursed...

However just then I saw my friend Byung-ho coming my way and he was_ he is wheeling that mad girl over here.

Like what the F!

Standing up from where I sat in the reception I gave her a bad stare and she did likewise to me that I became scared she might give me one of those hot stinging slaps again so I shifted away from her side, dragging my friend Byung-ho by the hand to one side.

“What do you think you are doing? And why are you wheeling her? Are you now her personal nurse, or what?" I questioned in an angry whisper.

“No, I'm not her personal nurse," He replied.

“Good then take her back from where she was and let's get out of here. Clearly she doesn't like apologies. I have done my best to try and apologize but I received a slap instead.. no problem though let's just get away from here. In fact leave her here one of the nurses will take her back to her ward," I said then held Byung-ho's hand to take him away with me...but he made himself hard on the ground.

“Lee Chun!"
He shouted my name.

I turned facing him.

“I am not leaving Ji-a. She is coming with," He said pulling his hand away from my grip.

“Who is Ji-a?" I asked then followed his eyes down to the girl on the wheelchair.

Oh! I see. She is Ji-a.

How can a mad girl have such a pretty name? I thought.

“And what do you mean you ain't leaving her? You seriously want to take her home?...Okay fine do what you please. I am leaving, I can't stand her and this smelling hospital anymore," I said, already pissed off.

I turned to walk out of the hospital but

“Lee Chun!" Byung-ho shouted my name again.

“What?!"
I half yelled back at him, already really annoyed, but then he walked closer to meet me.

“I made a mistake. I meant to say she is coming not with me but with you!" He said, and I raised an eyebrow.

“What? Me??"

“Yes, you! You see Ji-a here is an orphan, she fends for herself, but now she isn't able to work because of your carelessness, because you ran her over with your car and she can't use her legs anymore. So she is now your responsibility. You have to take care of her until she is well enough to be able to walk and fend for herself again," He explained and I was really shocked.

I knew she was poor but I never knew she was an orphan. I glanced down at her and she didn't really look pleased about what Byung-ho said.

“I thought you said I will be staying with you, I don't want to be with him, he is a bad man," She said to Byung-ho.

Byung-ho smiled at her then crouched down, leveling his head with herd

”I know I said that but I'm sorry you have to stay with him now," He said but she shook her head against it.

“No, I don't want to. I want to stay with you." She complained.

“Listen, he will take good care of you. I think it's time my friend here starts taking responsibility for his actions and I promise you that I will always come to check up on you. Trust me you will enjoy living in his house more than mine, his house is way bigger than mine and there are lots of maids, you will finally get treated like a queen that you deserve to be," He said but she looked really sad. She must hate me.

“Please smile, okay?" He said to her and she smiled faintly then he stood up facing me.

“So she is your responsibility now," He said and I was about to speak when he shut me up.

“I am not done. You better treat her well. Remember I told you the doctor said she shouldn't stress herself nor her legs,"
He said then smiled briefly before walking out of the hospital leaving me and the girl alone.

“What have I gotten myself into, huh? "
I muttered scratching my hair and she was just frowning at me with her arms folded.

“So you will be staying with me now? I guess I have to wheel you to the car right?" I said but she just rolled her eyes.

“Dummy," she muttered.

“Hey! I heard that!" I said, frowning.

“I meant for you to hear it, fool!"

“I don't have time for this, let me just wheel you to the car and take you home but don't expect me to take care of you cause I can't stand you. I will just hire a nurse to do that," I said then walked to her back to wheel her away.

“Whatever!... I can't stand looking at your ugly face anyways," She said.

“Stop saying I am ugly! Are you blind? Look at this face, does it look ugly to you, Huh?" I said and she turned her head around to look at my face.

“Yup! Really ugly!" She said with all seriousness before facing forward.

“I know you are just trying trying to get me upset but it won't work," I said.

“Nope. I am just saying the plain truth. You are really ugly," She said and I angrily wheeled her fast.

“Careful! Unless I will slap you!"
She warned already, getting her palm ready for a slap.

“Sorry," I quickly apologized, wheeling her slowly.

I don't really want to receive that hot, stinging slap again....
