"He's fine," they said. "A couple of broken ribs and all, but to summarize everything, he'll be resting in the hospital for quite some time to gain his strength back, I can tell. What is that kid going through?"
But Angel didn't answer. "Can I see him?" she asked.
"Of course."
Immediately, Angel rushed into Minwoo's room. He was sleeping but he was okay, though his body seem frightfully pale from the loss of blood. Angel walked over and held his hand tightly.
"Minwoo," she whispered. "Minwoo, I'm here. It's me, Angel. Kim Angel." Minwoo didn't stirred, not one single twitch. Angel close her eyes and her tears slid down her cheek. "Why did you risk such a life?" she asked. She opened her eyes. "Don't risk your life for me, Minwoo. Don't. I don't want to lose you...my mom had already left me; I don't want you to also."
She knelt down and stared at Minwoo's soff, gentle complexion. "If only Shinhwa was here," Angel wondered outloud. As if Shinhwa had heard, she heard scraping from the window. Looking up, Angel saw Andy waving at her. Angel looked behind her and saw the door opened. Quickly, she stood up and close it, then rushed to Andy.
Andy motion for her to opened the window and after sme struggle did she finally opened it. "What are you guys doing here!?" cried Angel.
"Sh, let us in before we get caught," whispered Andy.
"Jin, keep your butt away from my face," Angel heard Dongwan complained.
"Look at it more!" replied Jin.
"Come in," said Angel and the guys all piled in, thumping after each other. Angel survey them and notice someone was missing. Eric. "Where's Eric?" she asked.
"He didn't want to see Minwoo," answered Dongwan. Angel said nothing about it. Jin walked over to Minwoo.
"Hyung?" he said.
"He'll be fine, the doctor say," explained Angel. "But he's going to have to stay at the hospital for awhile to recover." The four Shinhwas nodded. "Oh, and just out of curiosity, why didn't you guy use the front door?"
Hyesung grinned at her. "Well, we're gangster, obvious. Who would let some gangster enter a hospital?" Angel smile. After all they have went through, the guys still know how to smile and crack some humour.
Then the door opened and Mr. Kim saw them. "Oh!" he cried out.
"Dad, they're okay. They're friends," explained Angel quickly. Mr. Kim's eyes landed on Dongwan.
"I'm not worry about them," he said and enter the room, closing the door behind him. "Dongwan...I think I need to talk to you." Going out, Mr. Kim left. After some moment of hesitation, Dongwan followed and sat on the bench next to Mr. Kim, not caring about his clothing or if people walked by and stared.
"Dongwan, you've been missing for months now." Dongwan looked off. "It's time you come home," said Mr. Kim. Dongwan's eyes landed on his uncle.
"Come home?" he asked. Mr. Kim nodded. "I...I can't," he said.
"Why not?"
"My place is not cooped up in an office with a starchy suit. My life is in the wonder of the street, the breath of the air."
"But your life is a gangster only. It is time you change."
"It's too late. You can't teach an old dog new tricks," answered Dongwan. "I can't go back to living with my parents. They're smothering me with stress of their corporation and that's all they'll ever care about. They don't care about me."
"Then come live with me," Mr. Kim said. "Angel, she's a woman. I can't leave all my corporation to her. In the near future, she will leave one day to get marry and my business will be loss. I would like for you to carry it on."
"Don't count on it," replied Dongwan. "I hated life as a rich bastard. I wanted freedom and already has I got it. I don't need anything in this world more than freedom."
"Sometimes, a person need to think about it's surrounding then just itself," said Mr. Kim. "And I think it's time you come home." Dongwan didn't answer right away.
"Fine," he said after some moment. "I'll go. But if I ever see Shinhwa again, then I'm gone with them again."
Mr. Kim nodded. "Then we have a deal."
The two enter the room. Dongwan stared at his friends. "Wannie, we need to go now," said Jin.
Dongwan shook his head. "Tell hyung I'm over," he said. Hyesung's eyes narrow and he and Andy flashed each other nervous glances.
"What do you mean?" asked Andy.
"I'm through," answered Dongwan. He put his arms around Angel. "I'm going home."
Jin looked away then he immediately jumped out of the window. Hyesung followed and Andy stared at Dongwan. "I guess...I guess this means goodbye," he said. Dongwan nodded. Then Andy too disappeared. A soft moan came from Minwoo and Angel rushed over to him.
"Minwoo?" she said. Minwoo slowly opened his eyes and a smile came through.
"Hey Angel," he said.
