《Affection || Lee Know》아홉 - Being Cute

"So- is Dami ok?" Changbin asked as we sat in the car, Minho up front and me at the back.

"Not ok, but she's, she's going to get better." Minho answered his friend, though it was still very awkward in the car.

I sat silent in the back as the two of then talked, apparently they had met when they went to middle/high school together but I didn't know for sure.

"Thanks Changbin-" I said, leaving the car as Minho stayed inside to talk a bit more.

Minho followed me after a few minutes, going to his apartment to get her a change of clothes, her teddy and a few other things whilst I got her food and entertainment such as movies and books.

Changbin had driven off so we drove back to the hospital in my car, parking in the child spaces as technically, we had a child, though she wasn't with us at the moment.

"MISS WANG!" Dami shouted as I entered the room with my bag full of food/entertainment.

"How are you feeling?"

"Tired."

"Well, go to sleep darling, your dad and I are just bringing things for you to do and wear once we get out ok?"

"Are you staying with me?"

"I have work on Monday darling, but I'll stay until then ok?" I said and she smiled weakly, her face a bit bruised due to impact.

"You need to go on your date-"

"Not tonight Dami- we'll stay with you."

"No- please go on your date... I don't-" She started, sounding more like an adult than a 7 year old.

"We're ok-" I answeeed just as Minho went in.

"DAD! Please go on your date tonight!" She shouted.

"Don't shot darling-" I said and she nodded.

"Dami- we shouldn't leave you in hospital alone, we'll just postpone." Minho said and I nodded.

"Please go! And I won't be alone, I've got Mary, my nurse."

"Darlin-" I started but Minho cut me off.

"Let's go later Annie-" Minho said, winking with a little bit of a smirk.

"But we'll be back to get you to sleep,

Ok?" I said and Dami nodded, knowing she wasn't going to get better than that

.

"What's the time?" She asked, and Minho replied with, '5:34pm'.

"You two should go! I'll see you both later!" She said, moving slowly to get her teddy.

"I'm going to sleep- please don't worry." She said, and instantly slept.

How can she do that?

"Let's Go then- a quick date, Speed Date-" Minho said with a chuckle and I nodded.

We stayed in our outfits from earlier today and walked out the hospital to a café down the road.

"It's weird- our first date being right after our kid's had an accident-" Minho said.

"Our kid? She's your daughter-" I said, raising an eyebrow and Minho blushed.

I went up to the counter, seeing Chan there...

"Oh hey Chan- can I get one iced americano and one chocolate frappe." I said.

"Are you on a date?" He asked, quirking his eyebrows. He must not have seen Minho when we both walked in.

"Yes actually-" I said, and Chan smiled.

"WHO?"

Before I could answer, Minho came over to me, wrapping arms around my waist and burying his head in the crook of my neck.

"Minho?" Chan asked, as I payed with my debit card.

"Channie-Hyung!" Minho said, shocked.

"I forgot you work here on Saturday's-"

"I have done for 4 years." Chan said, going to make our drinks but still managing to talk to us.

Minho soon went to sit down as I grabbed the drinks, Chan's voice catching me before I could walk away.

"He looks at you with more admiration and attention than he ever did with Miyoung-" Chan said quietly.

I blushed like Rudolph's nose.

"No- he married her-"

"Because you weren't in the picture. He will pick you, always." Chan said before going back to another customer.

"Fuck..." I swore as I walked over to Minho.

"Min- how do you earn money when you aren't on tour?" I asked him, handing him the drink, "If you don't mind me asking-"

"Technically, being a dancer is not my full job, I'm just a lawyer-"

"A lawyer?" I asked, my mouth dropping.

"Just a lawyer?"

"Yeah- I qualified a few years ago, and have done domestic cases for a company, called JYP, for 2 years now. It's about 3 cases a week, usually abuse, neglect, things like that."

"And so you were shocked when Miyoung-ssi..." I started, not wanting to finish the sentence but he nodded.

"I've done two murder cases as well, though they aren't common."

I nodded and smiled weakly.

"Do you like your drink?"

"The iced americano? Yes."

"Good, I didn't actually know what you wanted-" I rambled on, Minho chuckling a little.

"WAE? WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?" I whined, a few people turning around to look at us but they soon turned back.

"You're so cute- awww..." He said, pinching my cheek slightly.

"Huh? You're on a date with me- and your pinching MY CHEEK." I said and he took a step back, well, scooted back in his chair, which made me giggle.

"You're cute when you're angry." He said, and kissed my cheek from across the table.

"Aish- not here."

"So what? Chan already thinks we're together-"

"But we're not." I said, smiling weakly; he nodded and avoided eye contact with me.

It was almost 8 o'clock when we left the café, and we hurried back to the hotel, Minho phoning Miyoung to tell her what had happened to her daughter.

"I don't care! I'm in fucking rehab and you expect me to give a shit about someone other than myself-" I head her shout over the phone, which disgusted me.

You don't care about you're daughter? Who is in hospital, with broken limbs and bleeding?

Fuck yourself woman.

Minho hung up eventually and we didn't speak for a few minutes; he probably knew I could hear her.

We entered the ward, Dami was asleep and we sat beside her on the sofa.

I rested my head on Minho's shoulder, and almost fell asleep before Dami woke up.

"Mum! Dad! Can we watch a film?" She asked, though it was almost 10pm.

Minho agreed, knowing he'd fall right back to sleep if he didn't do something, especially when Dami was awake.

He didn't want to be asleep when she was awake.

"I'll go home and get us a change of clothes ok?" I said, Minho nodded, handing me the key to his apartment.

I drove home and went to Minho's apartment first.

I grabbed a pair of tracksuit bottoms, a hoodie and some slippers, as-well as another hoodie which I liked the look of, I'm sure Minho wouldn't mind.

I left Minho's apartment, as an old lady living across the hall from me was stepping out at the same time, and she caught me so said;

"Are you dating that new handsome man who moved in last weekend?"

"No Mrs Lim." I said, and she giggled.

"Why are you leaving his apartment so secretively, something must have happened last night?" She said, winking before scuttling off to the lift as I entered my apartment.

I grabbed joggers, a blanket and two pillows from my apartment before hurrying back to the hospital, seeing Dami fast asleep.

"You're not asleep?" I asked, Minho chuckled before taking his clothes pile and changing in the bathroom adjacent to Dami's room.

He came out, wearing the clothes and he looks so cozy. I went inside the bathroom, changed into my joggers and his hoodie before leaving the room, having brushed my teeth also.

"Wearing my jumper are we?" He asked, pulling me close to him under the blanket on the sofa.

"Do you mind?"

"Not at all- as long as we can go on a proper date when Dami's out." Minho said, his face pressing against mine.

"I guess we'll have to decided a time." I said, giggling as I rest my head on his shoulder.
