"You're mine. And I'll make sure of that." Nathan said as he whispered those words into her ear.

He then gently tapped the top of her head using his uninjured left hand as he added.

"Are you hungry? I'll prepare the soup that Hiro brought earlier." He gently said.

"I'm not hungry."

"Grrrr!!!"

Kim Eunji's face turned red as soon as that sound came out.

Nathan smiled and gently pinched her cheeks.

"Yes. Your mind's not hungry but your body surely is." Nathan did everything in his will to not let a smile or a chuckle escape from his lips but still a charming smile managed to come out.

"Aigoo. Don't be such a baby. Or else... I won't be able to stop myself and..."

Kim Eunji who looked like an angry kitten fiercely looked at him as she challenged, "Or what?!"

"Or..." Nathan then scooped her chin and drew it closer to him as he continued, "Don't challenge me Miss Kim or else, I might not be able to control myself and kiss you hard. So hard that you might moan my name."

Kim Eunji gulped as she looked at Nathan who looked serious as he said those words.

Though she could not remember a single thing about him, the fact that he was able to make her his lover proves that he's capable.

"So sit still and be good. Let me... your boyfriend to spoil you."

"Tssk. You're even injured yourself and you're acting like you're capable?" She refuted.

"Then whose fault is it that I injured my right arm?"

Nathan blurted out. He had no intention of blaming her and making her guilty for what happened.

Kim Eunji's heterochromia eyes widened in disbelief as she asked him, "Do you mean I did that to you?"

"Yes. You pushed me when we're inside the car. I was just trying to wake you up as you looked like you're in a nightmare once again that time. But you suddenly pushed me with all of your force and I end up like this." Nathan explained.

"Oh... Th-at. I'm so-rry." Kim Eunji said in almost a whisper. He didn't want to make her guilty but Nathan thought it is the only way to make her stay in place.

"It's okay. I'm sorry for not being able to protect you, too. Had I been more alert and was fast enough to chase after you, you won't be in this situation."

Kim Eunji was silent. How can she afford to be mad at this man now when all he did was to worry and he wanted to take good care of her. Who was she to refuse this kind of treatment?

Though she could not remember why she agreed to be his lover, she felt like she was not forced to do it and it was on her own accord.

"Stay still, I'll just prepare this in a minute." Nathan said as he showed a thermos.

"What's inside?" She asked as she's afraid that the man would take his revenge on her.

"Don't worry love... It's a healthy soup and there're no ingredients that you're allergic with." Nathan commented.

Kim Eunji looked at Nathan who was transferring the content to a container.

"You knew I have food allergy?" Kim Eunji asked in surprise. Only a fee people knew that she had it. And besides, she would always take her medicine before she would have her meal or else she should have another relapse.

"Yes. You actually gave us a scare back then. Therefore, I make sure for that to not happen again."

"When was that?" She asked.

"Not that long. We were at the Mo family back then and was having a banquet arranged by them to welcome her to the family as their new daughter-in-law."

"Daughter-in-law? Kelly?" Though she was confused as she listened to his story, Kim Eunji's eyes widened in shock when she put the puzzles together.

"Are you trying to tell me that my Kelly's already married?"

"Yes." Nathan bitterly said as he suddenly felt jealous to Kelly.

Now he finally understood why Mo Jing-sheng told him that he was jealous of Kim Eunji but since he's afraid that he would upset Kelly, he just had to endure it.

"Tell me who's this scumbag that tricked my precious best friend to marry him." Kim Eunji demanded.

"First, he's not a scumbag. He's the most decent man I know. Second, he's Mo Jing-sheng. I treated him as my brother therefore I know him and third, I don't think he tricked her to be with him as they were madly in love with each other. In fact, they're already expecting their first child. And from what I could remember, you had already given your blessings to them. So stop making a fuss about it."

Kim Eunji became silent as he heard that.

'Why did I suddenly receive a nag from him?' Kim Eunji thought.

She's frustrated that she had missed on a lot. However, her mood suddenly lighten a bit when she smelt something delicious.

As soon as the content was poured out of the container, the smell immediately evaded Kim Eunji's nostrils making her hungry even more.

"Since you can't eat chicken soups, I let them prepare Butternut Squash Soup instead." Nathan explained

"It looked delicious." Kim Eunji blurted out.

"En. Indeed it is." Nathan smiled as he saw her reaction.

"Give it to me. I can eat it myself." Kim Eunji stubbornly said.

"No. My left hand can. But if you are still doubtful, I have another way to feed you. Do you want me to show it to you?" Nathan mischievously challenged.

"No. D-on't." Kim Eunji's face turned crimson as soon as she imagined something in her head.

Nathan smiled as he saw her reaction. "Good girl." Nathan praised her. He wanted to tease her more but he didn't for he's afraid that Kim Eunji would be mad at him.

Nathan carefully scooped the soup and blew some air on it as he's afraid that it might still be hot for Kim Eunji to eat. Her tongue might be scalded if he ain't careful enough.

He then carefully placed it in Kim Eunji's mouth and the latter eat it and hummed in satisfaction as soon as she tasted it.

"Mmm. Oishi!" Kim Eunji exclaimed in delight.

Nathan smiled and continued feeding Kim Eunji the soup.

"Thank you." Kim Eunji warmly said her thanks to him.

"You're welcome. But I do hope not to hear those words of thanks from your mouth again in the future. I am your man and you're my wo- my lover. We're no longer strangers to each other. Therefore, saying words of gratitude is unnecessary, love."

Nathan wanted her to open up more to him. He wanted her to be more comfortable with him being around. He wanted them both to have this mutual understanding. The understanding and connection that most lovers have for each other.

"How about you learn to call me by my name. That would be better."

"Eh?"

"Say it. I want to hear my name in your sweet voice." Nathan pouted as he said that. "Please." Nathan was already pouting like a cute kid.

Kim Eunji's heart suddenly skipped a beat as she saw his cute expression. She had no rights to deny him of his wish ans if it was indeed true that he's her boyfriend, it's just right that she would call him in a more intimate way, right?

"O-okay... Nathan?." Nathan smiled as soon as his name came out from Kim Eunji's lips. He was beaming with happiness and joy deep inside and he didn't know why is that.

Kim Eunji on the other hand thought it would be awkward however it came naturally in her mouth like she had been saying his name since a long time ago.

"Good. Now, you go rest. You must be tired." Nathan thought that Kim Eunji needed to rest as her face was still pale and though she's still bitchy, her voice was still hoarse and week.

Kim Eunji shook her head and looked at him.

"I'm not. What time is it?" Kim Eunji asked him."

"Half-passed twelve mid-night." Nathan said as he looked at his watch.

"Can I have a walk outside?" Kim Eunji asked.

"You can't. This is a hospital, not a park. Patients like you should be resting now." Nathan explained.

"But I just woke up from sleep." She reasoned.

"Can't sleep?" Nathan asked her.

"Yeah." She answered in almost a whisper.

"Do you want me to lay down beside you so that you'll fall asleep?" Nathan thought that Kom Eunji would be comfortable if someone would be sleeping next to her.

"Eh?" Kim Eunji was taken aback by his question.

"Okay. If you don't want to, I'll just sit on the sofa and continue what I'm doing earlier." Nathan said as he looked at Kim Eunji.

"Aren't you going to go home and sleep? It's already late right?"

"Do you want me to leave you alone?" Nathan's tone was a bit angry when he said that.

"Ye-ah. There's no need for you to look after me. I'm fine. I-"

"Miss Kim, I thought I already made it clear that I won't let you be away from my sight even in the fraction of second. I'll be staying here by your side whether you like it or not!" He snapped.

'Patience Nathan! Patience!'

"I'm sorry. Oh shit!" He immediately apologized. Nathan felt guilty as soon as he saw tears coming out of Kim Eunji's tear ducts.

He immediately wiped them off with the back of his hand as he inwardly castrated himself.

On the other hand, Kim Eunji didn't know why she was crying. Maybe all the pent up emotions and frustrations that she was feeling deep inside caused it.

This was the first time that he saw her crying therefore he didn't know what to do and he panicked.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry." He apologized once again.

He took the initiative to place her in his arms. Sensing that Kim Eunji did not push him away, he relaxed a little bit. He uttered words of comfort to her telling her that it's okay.

As he felt that Kim Eunji's breathing became relaxed and she's no longer sobbing, Nathan finally relaxed.

He looked down and he was surprised that Kim Eunji was already sleeping in his arms.

"Such a baby." He remarked as he looked at her red eyelids which looked puffy and red from swelling. Her nose turned red too. She must have been pouring all of her grievances from that cry earlier. And this tugged his heart. He didn't want to see her cry again. He would punish every one who made her cry even himself was not the exception.

He tightened his embrace around her body as he's afraid she would disappear. He then hum melodies of lullaby and rocked their bodies to make her sleep even more.

She's now his baby and he would also make sure that she would acknowledge him soon.

"My baby. Mine."
