Chapter 282 - Prince Charming
Days passed and soon the day of Hyson's discharge arrived. Raelle had been the one who came to pick up Hyson. But just as she entered his room to see Hyson still playing with his birds. She threw a bag at him saying, "Change your clothes."
"Be nice!" said Hyson and opened the bag to check the clothes. "What if you scared them?"
"If they are not scared even after seeing your face, I'm pretty sure they have a strong heart," answered Raelle blandly. But her words were definitely blatant sarcasm directed at him!
Hyson snorted at her. He cupped his own face saying, "Look! Open your eyes and look carefully! I look like a real-life 'Prince Charming' and you can't even tell that? That's just sad!"
Raelle ignored his words as she sat down carelessly and said, "I think it's sadder that there is an idiot in the 21st century calling himself 'Prince Charming.'"
Hyson glared at her before he went to change out of this hospital gown. He felt like these dull clothes actually turned him into a dull person. A colorful person like him was slowly being sucked of his colors staying in this monotonous atmosphere. Indeed, the hospital wasn't a place for someone like him who loved to stay happy regardless of the situation or time.
While he was getting changed, Raelle's people packed everything and left. When Hyson was done, Raelle put a baseball cap on his head telling him, "Your fans have been camping outside since they learned about which hospital you're staying in."
"I know," said Hyson as he fixed his hat. He had stayed in the hospital for over ten days, of course, he knew how many had been coming daily and even tried to get inside. Fortunately, the hospital had a good security team. He was asked to stay at least for a couple more days, but because of how his fans had been acting for the past days, he decided to leave the hospital.
He had never liked bothering other people because of his own problems. He didn't want the hospital's operation to get affected only because he was staying here.
In this situation, even his group mates couldn't come to see him here.
Raelle patted his cheek saying, "Don't look so down. We're getting out of here already. Besides, I won't let them siege you."
"Are you sure siege is the right word to use in this situation?" asked Hyson.
"Is that the point right now?" retorted Raelle.
"I guess not," said Hyson.
Raelle took him out of the hospital from the VIP entrance that allowed them to leave without being caught by the fans. Thinking how his fans would still be waiting outside the hospital when he left, Hyson took a picture of himself and posted a status.
"Is that necessary?" asked Raelle as she looked at what he was doing through her peripheral vision.
"Of course, it is," answered Hyson. "I can't let them wait there for no reason. And also, sooner they leave, sooner the hospital and its patients will be able to go back to normal." After doing his job, he threw the phone in the back seat, completely forgetting all about it. And then, he stuck his eyes to the window looking outside like a kid who got to see the city for the first time.
"You've lived in this city for way too long, don't you think?"
Hyson shrugged his shoulders, "I like to enjoy everything as if it's my first time. Besides, looking at the same street today and tomorrow obviously have their own differences."
"And what's the difference?" she inquired.
"One is the street you see today and the other would be the one you'll see tomorrow," he answered with a grin. "You're the one who said today and tomorrow can't be the same. Just like yesterday and today are different."
Surprisingly, Raelle didn't refute his words. After all, he used her words to make her speechless. How could she refute it now?
As for Hyson, it was not his intention to make her speechless. In fact, he was just justifying his childish behavior. It had been his habit to look outside the window curiously. Even if he saw the same thing every day, he'd still see it as a novel thing. He was just that kind of a person who knew how to find his own happiness in whatever he was offered.
Perhaps, the hardships of his childhood had a strong effect on what or who he became today.
"Ellie..."
"Hm?"
"We have never been to an amusement park together, right?"
Raelle stopped the car at the red light and faced him in silence. She took a while to answer, "No. But why are you bringing it up now?"
"What a boring childhood we had!" he muttered. "Let's go to an amusement park someday."
"Kids go to amusement parks," she said.
"What are we? We are also kids!" he shot back completely forgetting the fact that they were in their twenties and one of them was already married.
"Between you and I, only you can be considered a kid. Not me."
"Why? Because you're already at the age to have your own kid now?"
Raelle gave him a blank look, "Well, sure."
Hyson's eyes widened, "Ellie, you really want to have a kid? Already? You don't find it troublesome?"
"I didn't say I want a kid. But I said I have no problem with one either," she stated calmly as she started the car again. "Although it'd be troublesome, however, it'd be a new challenge."
Hyson facepalmed himself, "Only someone like you would take raising a kid as a challenge, she has to win!"
"I don't see anything wrong with that," said Raelle.
"Of course, you don't," Hyson sounded bitter. He didn't even know why he started this conversation with her. How did they get here? He only wanted to go to amusement park, but they somehow landed on this topic out of nowhere!
