ONEW'S P.O.V.

Now our manager is having us get into the van so that we can head on over to the hotel that we are staying at. Have I told you that California is pretty hot? Well I am sweating a lot and so are the other members.

Right then, our manager hyung tells us that the hotel we are heading to has an amazing swimming pool and that catches my attention. As well as the others. Because of his statement, we try to get into the van as soon as possible and we are on our way. I am sitting on the right side of the van, like always and I am looking outside onto the busy sidewalk.

"Seems like we will be stuck in traffic for a while..." Manager hyung sighs.

We all groan.

I decide to continue looking onto the sidewalk and I get to see all of the cool tourist attraction signs and posters all over the place, there are the Hollywood stars with the celebrity names, and all these other cool things.

I started to look at the people outside too.

I was watching a little girl who was eating ice cream and was barely holding onto the string of a red balloon. She was cute and she looked like she was five years old. All of a sudden, a man on a bike whizzed by the girl and because she was shocked, she fell down.Her ice cream was on the floor and the red balloon was floating away. I couldn't help but pity her. The little girl was crying.

That's when I saw another girl approach the toddler. No. I saw the girl from the concert go up to her and pat her head. The girl was trying to soothe the little toddler and in the end, she even bought the child some ice cream from the little ice cream store and a red balloon. It seemed like the toddler was squealing with delight from what I saw from the van. The child and the child's mother thanked the girl. And I believe that the girl said that it was not big of a problem. Or something like that. I mean I am in the car, did you expect me to somehow hear all of what she said?

Well anyways...

She then gave the toddler a smile and walked away. That was really nice of her to do that. Her act of kindness made me smile. That girl really has a good side to her. I like it.

"Hyung? What are you looking at? You are smiling again! It's getting a bit creepy...!!!" , Taemin jokingly states.

I tell him that the fact that we are in California is making me smile so much. He doesn't believe my words.

Finally the van starts to move slowly and I have to admit, I was looking for the girl. I was pretty sure that she couldn't have walked far...

Wait. Why am I looking for her?

Do I ... do I like her? No way. I never had interest in a girl before.

While I was thinking about her, I finally spotted her. But she didn't look so well as she had a while back when she was being so sweet to the little toddler... Something wasn't right.

Our van was still stuck in the Hollywood traffic. The van was moving an inch a minute. UGGGHHHHH.

I continued to observe the girl. She really didn't look like she was in the condition to be walking on a crowded sidewalk. I continued to worry for the girl. I saw her bumping into a lot of the people that were walking on the busy sidewalk and that's when I witness her get smacked in the stomach with a metal pole that a construction worker was holding. She seemed unaffected by it but a few seconds later, she fell to the ground.

Without thinking, I literally jumped out of the van. My fellow members were shouting at me but I really did not care. I didn't even think about the cars that surrounded our van. I ran to the girl that was on the floor and I held her in my arms. When her skin made contact with mine, I felt heat rising from her. She had a really high fever.

She was still conscious and she weakly murmured, "Brother?" and then she fainted.

And I heard Jonghyun's and Minho's voice behind me "Hyung! Hyung! What's wrong?!?!" And they saw me holding the unconscious girl.

"Help me get her into our van!!!" I was yelling at them. They were shocked but they helped right away.

She was pretty light and it only took our strong Minho to carry her into the van. The fact that I can't carry a light girl like her was a sign saying that I should work out. UGGGHHHH.

But that's not what I should be worrying about.

"Hyung! Who is she?"

"Do you know her?"

"Is she okay?"

They are attacking me with questions and I am too focused on the girl that I don't answer their questions.

"Jonghyun! Can you search for a hospital that's close by, on your

phone?!?!" I practically yelled at him.

I ask our shocked manager hyung to find the closest hospital on the navigator and he immediately gets to it.

But I forgot about the traffic jam. Oh gawds. So I tell Jonghyun, " Call the emergency number! I think it's 911- the opposite of the number in Korea!"

The girl is sitting in Jonghyun's usual seat, Jonghyun is in the passenger seat next to our manager.

I keep looking at her like she might disappear any second.

I put a blanket over her body. Haha. My napping habits are finally put to some use.

Thankfully the others don't question me anymore and Kibum helps by using his English skills to tell the emergency call operator about the situation. Thankfully, we hear the sirens of an ambulance a couple minute later.

Minho and Taemin are outside of the van waving their arms to signal the ambulance to get to us. They finally arrive.

The people get out of the ambulance and get to work. They swiftly take her out from the van and now she is safely in the ambulance. They quickly ask if I want to get in the ambulance with her so I can later explain about what I witnessed. Kibum helps translate the parts that I don't understand. After I fully understand what they are asking me, I reply right away saying that I want to go. I climb into the ambulance but not before I get a weird look from the members and the manager.

What? Was I really acting strange? Well maybe I was at the time.

I am pretty sure that they don't expect me to go all 'super hero' for a girl...

Well now I am in the ambulance sitting next to where she is laying down.

She was pretty. Yeah. She is pretty.
