FORBIDDEN TO FALL IN LOVE

39. Dingy

Valeda waited in silence for almost an hour. Celine did not ask or comment, although she spoke to Kris several times.

Valeda's eyes were directed at the door of the IGD-covered room. He couldn't see through that door. It was better that way for him, so he didn't have to witness what was happening inside. Valeda just looked at Kris' expression and analyzed it from there.

"I'll buy you a drink for a second. You're not going anywhere!" celine's orders, then passed from before Valeda.

Valeda breathed. Celine dared to leave him to buy a drink, the chances of things had improved. But, he did not dare to hope for much. Anything can happen at the last minute. Valeda cupped his hands, again praying for the safety of the Roses.

"Miss," Kris was already standing in front of him.

Valeda was not conscious at all because he was praying fervently. He looked up and saw Kris smiling. "W-how?" ask Valeda nervously.

"You don't have to worry. Thanks to the medical staff, the rose survived. The rose will be moved to the PICU room soon," Kris explained.

"Make them give you the best service!" valeda's orders.

Kris patted Valeda on the shoulder. "Miss need not worry. They will do their best for all the patients here" Kris replied, trying to calm down. "Did Celine just leave?"

Valeda. "Just now."

Kris weighed for a moment before asking. "Would you like to come in and see Daniel? He's calmer now."

Valeda gulps. At first glance, he had thought about his disheveled appearance. 'God! What was I thinking?' his words in the heart.

"I'll wait for Celine here, then we'll go in together later," Kris added.

Valeda stood up but he became a limp. Kris caught him swiftly. Valeda was silent for a moment because his head was still dizzy. "Thank you" he said as he stood upright.

"If Miss still wants to rest, let me tell Daniel, please" Kris said.

"No. I'll see him." Valeda straightened his back and sighed loudly. Then he went into the IGD room.

His eyes immediately found Daniel sitting next to the hospital bed. Valeda steadied his pace to approach Daniel.

Valeda saw the rose on the bed. His skin was not blue like the one in Valeda's memory. The Rose's breath was regular and his eyes were closed. An infusion hose was embedded in the back of his left hand. While his nose is attached to an oxygen hose.

"Is the Rose okay now?" ask Valeda.

Daniel looked up to hear Valeda coming. "Thanks to you" he answered.

"A-a-me?" Valeda stutters. His heart thumped at the half-wet hair of Daniel. Daniel's sharp eyes pierced through his defenses, as usual. Valeda could sense that Daniel was making him wrong.

"Thank you for being there at the time" Daniel smiled. "I left my wallet at the office because I rushed home after hearing that the Rose was sick. I almost ran to the hospital if you weren't there."

'Ah... So Daniel didn't intentionally leave me home?' inner Valeda. His mood instantly improved.

"Doctor said, Roses sleep because of fatigue. He fought hard. He will be transferred to the PICU soon. For now, there's nothing to worry about. If the situation improves, the rose will be transferred to a regular ward as soon as possible."

"Thank God..." Valeda was relieved to hear from Daniel himself.

"Once the rose is moved, I'll go to your apartment" Daniel added.

"I can't accompany the Rose because she's in intensive space. So, I'll go to your apartment and eat together. You offered, right? Is it not happening?"

"Still, still!" answer Valeda quickly. "I'm so hungry!"

"Because you've helped, let me cook tonight" Daniel added.

"Have we made up?" ask Valeda. He knew that now was not the right time to talk about this. But, Daniel's mood was good and there was no way for him to escape from Valeda anymore.

Daniel laughed softly. "I'm sorry for making trouble and sulking like that. I turned out to be a child if I was jealous. I just realized it myself."

Valeda's eyes widened in shock. He did not think that the answer was what Daniel would say. Valeda did not think that Daniel was jealous to do so. "Jealous? What makes you jealous?" valeda did not understand.

"I know that I have no right to say that I'm jealous. But, yeah, that's what happened." Daniel got up from his seat and took off the hoddie he was wearing. "Wear this alone" he said, taking off Kris's coat, which had been draped over Valeda's shoulder, and then helping Valeda put on her hoddie. "It's thick, so it's not too wet."

Valeda lowered her head, trying hard to hide her flushed face. He was lulled with the fragrance of Daniel coming out of the hoddie. "I'll give it back after I wash it" said Valeda.

"Not to be so thoughtful" Daniel patted Valeda on the head. "One more time, thank you, Val. Thank you for being there and helping me. You are truly my savior."

Valeda's eyes became hot and a second later tears began to trickle down his cheeks. The tenderness of Daniel that he received, really relieved him. Unknowingly, she was already crying like a child.

Daniel, puzzled by not understanding why Valeda was crying, pulls Valeda into his arms. He patted Valeda on the back to calm the woman down.

The foggy night ended quietly. Valeda did not expect that the problem would be resolved so soon. Then, hearing Daniel say that he was jealous, somehow made Valeda happy instead of being a bitch. Even though Valeda doesn't know why Daniel's jealous. Currently, Valeda had not dared to urge Daniel to say what the reason was until jealousy. Valeda wants to keep this good relationship going longer before talking about anything serious.

"When have you had a shirt like this?" Daniel exits the guest room after cleaning himself up at Valeda's apartment. He looked down at the beetle T-shirt Valeda had prepared for him.

"Mmm, I'm trying to buy a T-shirt like you said" Valeda replied.

Daniel raised his face and met Valeda. Daniel did not move when he saw Valeda wearing a T-shirt and shorts. "Is this your first time wearing this?" ask Daniel.

"I've been wearing them the last few days. It was more comfortable than my clothes. You're right, I should have worn it from the beginning" Valeda replied.

"Did anyone see you when you put that shirt on?" ask Daniel again.

Valeda. "none. Why why?"

"That doesn't suit you. Replace it with the clothes you used to wear!" said Daniel. "The silk piyama that you said T-shirt the other day" Daniel added.

Valeda looked down at the T-shirt he was wearing. "But this is convenient" whined Valeda. He turned around once and looked back at Daniel. "Did it really not fit my character? I read on the internet that it's trending among teenage girls."

"Never wear this in front of anyone!" sahut Daniel's.

Valeda grunted loudly. "You're angry again, Dan," he grumbled. "We just made up."

Daniel pulled his hair back with a red face. He glanced at Valeda at a glance, then threw his face away again. "You... Too sexy with that."

Valeda's face was flushed. He could feel that his head was about to explode. But his legs refused to move. His body was feeling faint after getting such a comment from Daniel. For a moment, he wished that there was no contract between them.
