Chen drove them to the hospital where Dean was admitted. Ryu was very uncomfortable and worried and kept telling Chen to drive faster.They arrived at the hospital in less than fifteen minutes.
When they reached the ward where Dean was admitted Ryu saw Dean was smiling widely and he apparently looked fine.
"Are you kidding me?" Ryu hissed silently as he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Dean.
"I got her big bro. I got one of their lackeys under my hands." Dean said with full of amus.e.m.e.nt.
Ryu let out a long sigh. "d.a.m.n Dean I was so worried that I thought something bad has happened."
"Ahm, sorry about that. Wait, my timing is bad again?" Dean asked maliciously seeing Ryu was with Arya and they both looked little… mmm… different…
"You"re always a pain in the a.s.s don"t you know? What happened?" Ryu asked obviously annoyed.
"I got hit by Rita. She is at the police station right now and will be held captive until I say so. She is in my clutches now." Dean grinned evilly.
"Why not bind her also by making her sign a contract too like Arya. Ha ha ha." Dean continued planning excitedly.
"What"s going on?" Arya murmured. She was a little startled when she heard Rita"s name, the things that Dean said were all not of her understanding and made her a bit confused so Dean and Ryu explained everything to her.
"Wait so it"s a conspiracy by that big company and until now the Mastermind is still faceless?" Arya exclaimed.
"We already have a lead so don"t worry about it. We will bring them down very soon." Dean declared confidently.
"Dean, make sure this is the last time you have done something like this! It"s very stupid and reckless!" Ryu scolded his cousin.
"You"re over reacting Big Bro! Of course everything was well staged! They are not the only one who can scheme like that you know. And I"m not harmed at all. I"m perfectly fine." Dean proudly announced, moving all his body like nothing happened.
"Rita knew you for sure so I"m not sure what good it can be to bully a lackey?" Arya commented. She can sense as a woman that Dean was interested in Rita and she was not surprised because Rita was a sophisticated and eye catching woman in her eyes.
She even seemed to be a good person also because she saw pity in Rita"s eyes whenever they met. Maybe they could be friends if they had not met in wrong time and wrong circ.u.mstances.
"Well, she"s part of that plan still so it"s not an excuse to exclude her from those who should pay for hurting my big bro!" Dean said with a heavy tone.
Arya gulped and paled as she was struck by Dean"s words about the scheming against Ryu. She was the most responsible person involved in the scheme of hurting Ryu.
Dean noticed her silence and quickly revoked his previous words and said, "Oh well Rita was on the enemy"s side from the start from her own will, so she cannot be excused unlike you Big Sis because they blackmailed you using your family."
Arya just nodded and smiled awkwardly at Dean.
Ryu then put a stop to all the talks and after once again confirming Dean"s health and checking on him thoroughly he decided to leave for home.
It was already late and as they were waiting for Chen to bring the car at the hospital entrance Ryu looked at the tired face of Arya and felt bad for her.
Once the car was there Ryu opened the door for her and sat beside her.
Arya held Ryu"s arm and leaned her head on Ryu"s shoulder as she was feeling sleepy.
"Ryu," she murmured sluggishly.
"Hmm?" She heard him responded.
"Please don"t go to any date again. I just can"t bear to see you with anyone else. It hurts and it"s frustrating you know." Arya muttered. She was tired, she did not want anymore scenes like today; it felt like they were in some tug of war game.
Those scenes looked good in dramas to watch but the heartbreaking feeling was much worst in reality compared to watching it in the dramas.
She knew that he still had anger in his heart for she left and ran away but still she can see his love and desire to be with her in Ryu"s every actions.
"I told you to give me enough reasons not to go." Ryu said in a clearer voice.
"My heart aches whenever I see you with another woman. Do you like to see me in pain? And is loving you not enough reason to stop you going on blind dates set up by your parents?" Arya murmured in a fading voice before she totally closed her eyes and dozed off.
Ryu"s heart skipped a beat.
"Did she just say what I had been longing to hear from her?" He felt like he is flying on cloud nine.
"Arya say again… What you just said please say again. Arya what did you say?" Ryu whispered and asked then he looked at her face that was resting on his shoulder when he didn"t receive any reply from her.
He did not hear clearly what Arya murmured because her voice was so stumpy. But he seemed to hear the word love in it.
He saw her sleeping face and just sighed. He did not want to wake her up from her sweet slumber as he could feel her heavy and steady breathing.
"She is probably too tired." Ryu thought silently while he hugged Arya lovingly made her be in a more comfortable position by wrapping his arms around her then he kissed her head lovingly.
Then he laughed recalling what just happened a while ago in the restaurant. That was too childish. Both of them behaved so childish and immature.
"Unbelievable… But my dear wife, how can I tolerate you being close with anyone else except me? You are mine, completely."
"You still need to be punished though for touching that b.a.s.t.a.r.d," he whispered before he too closed his eyes.
