Love makes up for everything

Next day,

"I am coming. Don't worry." Uee hung up. She was in a taxi and heading to the hospital in the morning, after Lay called her and informed her about Remi's condition. She reached the hospital and rushed to Remi's doctor, psychiatrist. She knocked at her office door.

"Dr. Hwamin!" Uee called her out and barged inside.

"Oh... Uee, how are you?"

She walked to a seat and sat over it. "Of course I am worried about Remi. Where is she?"

"Come with me." Dr. Hwamin stood up and escorted her to the room.

"Is she ok?"

"She's fine Uee."

What Uee saw was Remi on the hospital bed with closed eyes and a very tensed Lay standing beside it.

"Lay!" Uee ran towards him while Hwamin didn't leave her spot. "Lay..." Uee reached him and grabbed his arm. "What is with this long face? Did something happen?" She inquired with worried eyes.

Lay looked back into Uee's eyes but he didn't answer. "Dr. says everything is fine." He muttered.

"Mr. Lay... would you please come to my office?" Dr. Hwamin gestured and Lay nodded hesitatingly.

Lay and Hwamin left the room and Uee sat on the bed along with Remi. She gently brushed her forehead with her fingers.

"Unnie..." Remi opened her eyes and muttered with exhausted voice.

"What happened? How did you end up here?"

She smiled. "Nothing different."

"Don't confuse me."

"I already told you. I won't be over with this fear, never. Even if I feel attracted towards him, my body still shudders at mere touch."

"Did Lay... I mean..."

"Yes... he did try but failed I guess so... because I collapsed. But I think he didn't. Have you watched his expression?" Remi asked with dull eyes having a little sparkle hidden somewhere. Uee bobbed her head in denial. Remi smiled and then her eyes actually twinkled.

"What Remi? What did you see?" Uee grabbed her hand firmly.

"He's not bad after all. He's still worried and is repentant of what he did."

"Remi... what are you thinking right now?"

She eyed the office. "He might like me very much."

Uee laughed lightly. "Umm... in what sense?"

"He might love me a lot." Remi smirked.

Uee unheld her hand and stared into her still shining eyes. "Did he say that to you?"

"He won't admit it. But I saw it."

"What?"

"I thought it was sympathy or regret or guilt, in his eyes... And I was right. But... at one corner, there was something different."

"Remi... eyes have this much corners???" Uee asked in a dull and interested voice.

"I've loved someone... so I can tell if its love or not."

"Remi... I think you're still subconscious."

"Unnie... I woke up and he was sitting over there." She pointed at an uncomfortable chair beside a sofa. "He was worried, really worried. Have you seen his hands?"

"His hands? Why?"

"They were bruised at that time, I don't know if he bandaged them now or not."
