MBLAQ fanfic: Falling Rain Chapter 10
Chapter 10: Few hours left..
“Annyeong!!!!”
Eira jumped at the sudden noise and felt a sudden headache, glared at the noisemaker who was grinning innocently.
“Hyung…”
“Oops… did I wake up my beloved princess? Miaaanhe!”
“You look the least regretful, hyung. What if I had an attack because of what you did? Aish...”
Jungsu sat on Eira’s bed, ignoring the piercing glare the latter was giving him. He made himself comfortable and smiled, “as you said yesterday… I know more than anyone about your condition so I did what I did cause I know it will be safe.”
“You. Are. Impossible.”
Jungsu chuckled, “maybe dongsaeng-ah… but you love me.”
Eira glared “I’m not sure anymore, hyung.”
Jungsu acted hurt and placed a hand on his chest “you wound me with your words my princess… and here I was trying to cheer you up hours before the operation.”
“Jungsu-ah… are you bullying your patient?”
Eira saw someone peek inside her room. She had guessed that he was a doctor like his hyung because of the white lab gown and also because of the aura of authority the newcomer was exuding.
Jungsu stood and bowed at the new comer “Of course not… hyung, please come in…”
The doctor came in and smiled at both Jungsu and Eira, “If I knew how carefree you are while you are here with her I would have visited often.”
Jungsu glared at the new comer who chuckled and ruffled his hair. The doctor grinned at Eira and held out his hand, “hello Miss Choi, I’m Lee Chunghee, your Jungsu hyung’s sunbae and close friend. He had told me lots about you and your cousin ByungHee.”
Eira looked at the outstretched hand and then to his hyung who nodded. Eira smiled and took ChungHee’s hand. Now that she looked at him up close, Eira thought the new guy was a looker himself. He had soft Auburn brown medium length hair that was tied neatly at the back, bluish green eyes hidden by glasses, sharp nose and lips that were curled into a warm smile at that moment. He looked like someone who can be trusted…
“I think your cousin is checking me out Jungsu… how cute… ”
Eira hastily removed her hand from the doctor’s then hid it inside the blanket. Jungsu chuckled and sat back beside Eira on the bed.
“In your dreams hyung… she was probably wondering whether you can be trusted or not.”
Chunghee laughed at Eira’s reddening again face, “aw… and I was hoping I charmed her. She’s really cute.”
“Hyung, we‘re friends but… He Ran’s in a relationship and I approve of the guy so hands off.”
Eira smiled at his Jungsu hyung and he smiled in return. Chunghee raised both hands in surrender and laughed. “I surrender… I was just kidding anyway. How are you feeling though, He Ran?”
“Please call me Eira… I‘m doing well ChungHee -shi, despite the circumstances... I‘m all right.”
“Drop the “shi”, I’m not that old. Are you ready for your operation in a few hours?”
Eira nodded and smiled at both doctors, “More than ready. I trust Jungsu hyung so I’m sure things will go well. So um… is it all right if I call you Chunghee hyung? Cause Jungsu hyung calls you hyung and you are also older than me…”
“Of course you can dear… by the way, Jungsu… I was assigned as your assistant.”
Jungsu’s face immediately became serious and he nodded at his sunbae. Eira looked at both confusedly but Jungsu merely jumped off her bed and stretched.
“Okay… we both better go and fix everything. I hope you ate your fill before the fasting started. See you later princess… tell noona I’ll be back to check your stats before the actual operation.“
Eira nodded and then smiled at Chunghee, “Nice meeting you Chunghee hyung. Please look after my hyung for me, he may be stubborn most of the time but he has a very kind heart. He cries easily, he loves easily and he gets hurt easily. Don’t be afraid to knock some sense into him when needed.”
Jungsu pouted but gave in when Eira spread her arms asking for a hug. Eira giggled when Jungsu lightly squeezed her while she was hugged. “You better stop talking like you are… leaving us. Because you aren’t and we talked about that already. Plus you said you trust me so make me feel like you really do.”
“I do trust you Hyung… if I don’t, I won’t be here.”
Jungsu released Eira and pinched her nose lightly, “yeah right… I heard from hyung that you decided to undergo the operation because of SeungHo… tsk… trying to fool your Jungsu hyung huh?”
“Course not.”
Jungsu stepped back and with a last ruffle on Eira’s hair, he walked out with Chunghee who gave a small salute and a grin.
Once the door to Eira’s room closed, Jungsu faced his sunbae with a small smile.
“Thank you hyung… I know that you requested to be my assistant for He Ran’s operation… “
ChungHee lazily placed an arm on Jungsu’s shoulders and chuckled, “no problemo… it’s an honor to operate on such a pretty young lady. Besides, I can always brag to everyone that I assisted the famous heart specialist Dr. Jungsu Park…”
Jungsu scowled at the older doctor and shrugged the arm off him, “Seriously hyung stop hitting on my cousin and I’m not famous at all, everyone’s just making mountains out of molehills.”
“Ya Park! What does mountains and molehills have to do with you being famous and all?”
“Hyung… that was an expression…”
“Oh…”
Jungsu sighed exasperatedly and shook his head, “We really should double check everything…just an hour and we start the operation… the room and the staff and damn… I’m not sure if I’m ready yet.”
Chunghee patted Jungsu’s head, “Kid… you’ll do fine. I’ll be there to assist you so you don’t have to worry about the small stuff. Just concentrate on what you have to do and make sure that cute girl lives. By the way… any word on possible hearts for Eira?”
Jungsu bit his lower lip and shook his head and Chunghee’s heart clenched at the sight of the younger doctor looking broken.
“Don’t lose hope, Jungsu. Just like what you told Eira… once you give up, she would too. Who knows? Maybe there would be a miracle and oshe won’t need it anymore.”
“I hope so hyung… I really do hope so…”

“Thank you Mr. Andersen. It was nice working with you.”
“It was my pleasure, Mr. Choi. Now I know why a friend of mine recommended your company. I’m glad I heeded his advice.”
Mr. Choi shook the hand held out for him and he smiled warmly. He was finally done with the presentation and he can leave everything to the others. He scanned the room and watched as the client was ushered out of the meeting room by one of the board members. A young man with ebony black hair that was spiked and had long layered bangs walked over to him and bowed politely.
“Sajangnim…”
“Yoon Sook-ah… everything is done?”
“Neh… we can handle everything from here on. I apologize for taking you from your family, Sajangnim.”
Mr. Choi grinned at the young man he has considered as a son, “stop being so formal and just call me uncle. The clients are all out.”
Yoon Sook smiled transforming his eyes into small crescents and showing his dimples, “Uncle Dong Min, I thought we shouldn’t be informal in the office?”
“When the clients are here, of course we can’t you silly boy. Where is your father anyway? Shouldn’t he be here instead of you?”
Yoon Sook shrugged, “He wants to be but umma asked Appa to accompany her while she shops in Paris… and you know that my mother can be too convincing sometimes.”
“I know dear boy, I know… anyway, I’ll best be going now. He Ran’s going to be having the operation in an hour and it takes two hours to get there. Your Aunt Hee Young is going to skin me alive if I don’t get there soon.”
At the mention of He Ran’s name, Yoon Sook’s eyes lit up and he grinned more. “I’ll drive you there Uncle Dong Min… I want to see He Ran and maybe give some moral support too.”
Mr. Choi chuckled and patted Yoon Sook lightly, “Aha! I gained a driver! I’m sure He Ran would be delighted to see her Yoon Sook oppa so let’s go… oh and we’ll just use my car. Araso?”
“Neh, it will be my pleasure to drive your Maserati… I’ll call our driver to take my car back to the house.”
Mr. Choi laughed good humouredly and handed him the keys to his car, “Come on then, I’ll call Hee Young so she knows I’m on the way.”
“Waaaaaaait!! Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrsssss!!!!”
Yoon Sook and Mr. Choi turned to see Yoon Sook’s secretary running towards them panting heavily.
“Su Dae, what is it?”
“I’ve heard…that… both… master… and… young master… will be… visiting… the young lady… and…”
Mr. Choi chuckled, “Han Su Dae… take a deep breath and then tell us what you want you want to say.”
Su Dae nodded and took a deep breath, “I heard that both sirs are going to visit miss He Ran… I would like to ask if I could come.”
Yoon Sook looked at Mr. Choi asking for permission and he nodded. As soon as the permission was granted, Yoon Sook smiled at his secretary who was waiting for his answer patiently.
“All right… since we landed a great deal with the help of Uncle Dong Min, you can come but promise not to make any noise. We are going to a hospital and you shouldn’t make any incidents.”
Su Dae nodded and gave her boss a thumb up, making Mr. Choi smile. The two men walked over to Mr. Choi’s 2009 Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S. Yoon Sook unlocked the car and climbed to the driver’s seat, waiting for his Uncle and Su Dae to get in before starting the engine and speeding away.

“SeungHo… wake up… its 9 already.”
SeungHo muttered some gibberish words so MBLAQ’s manager grinned and smacked SeungHo’s tummy earning a loud yelp and effectively waking him up.
“Hyung! That hurt!”
“Annyeong SeungHo-ah! Get up and I’ll wake up the others.”
SeungHo grunted but got up nevertheless then continued his morning routine before coming out of his room. On his way out, he almost bumped into Mir who was already fully awake and dressed.
“SeungHo hyung… your eyes… I know you had always had those bags on your eyes like second skin but today it seemed deeper and darker colored and you look extremely pale… like a vampire in the movies and…you look like you would just feed on someone and… ”
Cheondoong clamped a hand to shut the younger as he seemed to not be stopping anytime soon and it was irritating the leader. “Annyeong SeungHo hyung…”
A short “Annyeong” and a nod were granted to the second younger before he proceeded to the living room where an almost horrible looking ByungHee and a sleepy Joon had been waiting.
“Woah! Byunghee hyung, you look almost as bad as Seungho hyung!”
Cheondoong again clamped his hand on the maknae’s mouth then dragged him to stand beside the sleepy Joon, grinning adorably all those time.
Byunghee glanced at his best friend and sighed, “If that loudmouth thinks I almost look like you… I must look that horrible.”
SeungHo elbowed Byunghee and hissed, “Shut up. Not like you aren’t as worried as I am.”
ByungHee chuckled and rubbed his injured side as they were ushered out to the van for another practice before the actual performance. He was the last to get into the van and he whispered, “Ah… I’m probably a 100 times more worried than SeungHo today…wonder how that kid is doing now…”
Inside the van, Joon continued his sleep while Mir and Cheondoong were playing at the back. SeungHo had his eyes closed while holding his mobile phone tightly. Byunghee on the other hand was busy fiddling with his mobile. Their manager looked at the two oldest and sighed, “ByungHee, SeungHo… go take a little nap while we are on the way. You both look horrible,”
“… gee, thanks Hyung.”
MBLAQ’s manager’s forehead was creased and he looked at ByungHee… “woah… it took you a few seconds before that comeback. You must be sick. Can you perform later?”
ByungHee nodded and looked at Seungho who was also looking at him, “Yeah… just a little tired. I’m all right... just nerves probably.”
Their manager looked unconvinced but he let it slide and sighed instead. Byunghee stopped fiddling with his mobile phone and leaned to rest his eyes for a bit. SeungHo opted to look outside and watched as the colors played on the sky while the sun started to show itself on the horizon.
