Binna had been running far from the bathroom stalls, her head oozing with blood from the attack. The pain was unbearable. She didn't know what hit her; it seemed like something heavy crashed into her head. She couldn't make out what it was; but she had never ran so much before. Finally, after what seemed like forever, she stopped running. She fell to the ground, crying silently. Bon-hwa and Kyong eventually found her, laying on the ground. Bon-hwa almost slipped, sliding then kneeling next to the hurt girl.
"Binna! We'll get you to a hospital, I promise! Just stay still."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiupvucaKj
Binna weakly pointed towards the bathroom she just ran away from, struggling to speak.
"Someone...someone broke into that bathroom and..."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr4FTG2ysR
Binna sobbed, being unable to move.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlXIepFQUp
Bon-hwa sweeped Binna off her feet, holding her bridal style.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzAwMVsmgp
"I swear I will find that bastard again. I'll rip out his fucking throat!"
"Let's calm down, Bon-hwa. All that matters is that Binna is safe." As Kyong tried to reassure Bon-hwa, he called an ambulance.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvExgZiyYAt
Binna smiled weakly. Her whole world had been thrown off its axis, but she was lucky enough that Bon-hwa was right by her side. Kyong put his phone away and glanced to Binna, smirking a bit.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i9aVfelhX
"Don't worry, Binna. You'll be okay, they're on their way."

Ae-ri roundhouse kicked one of the criminals in the face. He screamed and dropped his weapon. A second later he turned around to punch her, but she swiftly dodged and grabbed his arms to stop him. With her free hand she punched him on the gut, causing him to double over. When she turned around to continue fighting, she found the other criminal running at her. Before she could even react, Do-yun had caught up to the criminal and threw his fist forward, slamming it into the man's chest. The criminal fell flat onto his back. Ae -ri looked at Do -yun, who simply shrugged at her with a slight smirk on his face.
After the criminals were caught, Binna was taken to a hospital room. The doctors examined her head, which was smashed in with a simple rock. Binna lay asleep on the bed, while the doctor told the rest if the group what was wrong with her head.
"I think she has a concussion. She needs to stay in this hospital until tomorrow morning. If possible, we'd prefer to keep her for observation tonight. For now, she should stay under supervision. We can bring her some water to ease her symptoms and change her bandages." The others thanked the doctor, and he left the room.
Bon-hwa sighed, crossing his arms.

"We're not all gonna stay here. I wanna stay here with Binna." He stated firmly.
"Well.." Ae-ri began.
"You don't have to force your company, you know." Bon-hwa scoffed. "I'm gonna be the only one staying here tonight. You all can go."
Kyong smirked and nudged Bon-hwa's shoulder.
"You like her, eh?"
Bon-hwa gasped and quickly slapped Kyong's arm lightly. He gave the boy a dirty glare.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmES2NaMA6
"Shut up, you idiot. There's nothing between us. And besides, why would I like someone I can't even call mine?"161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMyBch2lp0
Kyong chuckled, then hugged him tightly.
"Whatever you say, Bon-hwa."
After everyone had left to the hotel, Bon-hwa stayed behind to care for Binna. He sat on the edge of the bed and gazed at her lovingly.
"You're beautiful. You know that, right?" He whispered quietly. The boy leaned down, placing a gentle kiss on top of her forehead. Just at that moment, Jin-ah and Kang-dae had been informed about Binna and made their way to the hospital. Jin-ah slammed the door open, and saw Bon-hwa, along with Binna.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4a70wPX01
She rushed over to Binna's side.
"What the hell happened to her?" She exclaimed as he noticed Binna laying on the bed sleeping.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnsErq2fMk
"Some guys attacked her. Don't know how many or where they came from." Bon-hwa explained.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdBZdafbPG
Jin -ah frowned and looked at Binna. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was slightly parted, showing a bit of her teeth. A tear dripped down her cheek, clearly disappointed with herself.
"I'm so stupid. I could've protected her. I'm so sorry," She muttered as tears streamed down her cheeks. Kang-dae stepped up beside Jin -ah. "It's not your fault."
"...I'll never let her get hurt again. I'm such a fool for just letting her go alone." Bon-hwa added, staring at Binna.

MONDAY
The next morning, Binna woke up. She rubbed her head. What happened last night? Why wasn't she able to remember anything after the fight with those two men?161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbYAy6su7B
As she slowly opened her eyes, she saw someone looking straight at her.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jXyptMgsR
Of course, it was Bon-hwa.
"Binna.."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWfqnMpci
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17UaFX2Ds6
As Bon-hwa's voice cracked, he choked.
"Hey, Binna. Welcome to consciousness."
Binna tried to smile, but her jaw hurt so badly that she couldn't. Bon-hwa gently placed a cup of ice cold water near Binna's lips and helped her drink. After Binna had emptied the glass, Bon-hwa handed her another cup. Binna took it with trembling hands and drained half of it.
"Thanks, Bon."
Bon-hwa's eyes widened at hearing the way she addressed him. He cleared his throat nervously and scratched his neck.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD9CkdT85Y
"Uhm...Bon?" Bon-hwa questioned. "I asked you to call me that like two years ago...why now?"
Now it was Binna's turn to blush, feeling embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed red.
"Uh...well...you know..." She stammered, trying to avoid Bon-hwa's gaze. He raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to explain.
"You always liked the idea of it and I thought it sounded cool, so..."161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3eooctrwr
For some reason, Bon-hwa's heart started beating faster. It felt like it was going to burst out of his chest. His ears went red. He could barely breathe.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCVC2C1VmB
"Oh, well...thanks, Binna..." He stuttered awkwardly, still not able to meet her eyes.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ML0Br6dOG
Suddenly, there was an awkward silence hanging in the air.
"Um...I'll go get breakfast for us, Binna."
Binna snapped her head up to look at Bon-hwa's eyes.
"Yeah, sure."
And Bon-hwa walked out of the hospital room. As soon as he walked out of the door, Binna felt like her heart was going to explode. She chuckled helplessly.
"I don't know if I hate or like you right now, Bon-hwa." She whispered softly, turning on her side so that she was facing away from the door. She closed her eyes and rested her head against her pillow.161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmWVP5ZFmM
As she drifted back into a dreamless sleep, a smile spread across her face.
