Just Enemies (KornxWai)

2. Guardian Angel or Devil?

***KORN POV***

I never liked school much but I actually wanted to become an engineer, it was one of my childhood dreams and life goals, so I did my best to enter the faculty with good grades. I just never thought I'd be boxing as much as I would be studying for the exams. Also, I never thought my whole life and future would suffer the plot twist of the century all because of an angered kitten.

If he didn't piss off Pat the night before I wouldn't be running after him. Although I was always targeting him, he was actually alive because of it. I always claimed him as my prey cause I just knew that if Pat landed his hands on him he would put the kid to sleep forever. The whole architecture gang was nerve-wracking but Pran and Wai surely knew how to push Pat's buttons.

I tried to not leave him in an awful state this time, because the last time I was challenged by Pat since he said I was going soft and almost broke Wai's arm, still regret that. I like to fight but I don't want to ruin the boy's body or future. But I can't say the same about him he surely is fighting for his dear life which is kinda funny, although my body is not finding it funny at all, I'll be covered in bruises tomorrow. He was easy to read, you could see what he was thinking just by looking into his eyes. Those big deep brown eyes, one could get lost in them if they look for a certain amount of time, not that I would ever do that, I'm just guessing. His pink small lips would pout whenever he heard anything that hurt him. He was like a big baby, very fragile - physically and emotionally. 

I didn't hate him that much but I knew he felt very uncomfortable whenever I was around and that I actually scared the shit out of him, so that was my hobby: chase Wai. 

He ripped my new jacket, my mom just gifted me that the day before. I would be in so much trouble, damn this boy deserves a good beat because of this. Here I was trying to have mercy and he's just having death wishes. I kick him in the stomach and he loses his balance and falls onto the ground hitting his head. For a second there I stop breathing I was so stressed that I didn't calculate my strength and almost send the boy to heaven. I see him touching the back of his head and without thinking I sit on top of him. I raise my arm to roll up the sleeves cause it's frustrating me but he flinches and closes his eyes with so much fear that I freeze. 

I look to see if anyone is aware of what I'm doing and as everyone is too busy killing themselves, I just get up and go fight with another random guy from Wai's group. The motherf*cker hits me on the cheek and makes me spit blood. While I was focused on making sure all my teeth were in their place, the new guy of our gang is about to charge into Wai. No, you won't, not on my watch!

I run for dear life with a speed I didn't know I had and slow down fast enough to not bump into Wai. His face is whiter than usual and I know he is so close to passing out, he seems he's gonna give in at any second. I don't why but I choke him. Like my thought was actually to hold him but I don't why I grabbed his neck. I tried to loosen up to make sure I wouldn't strangle the boy.

Our eyes locked and I don't know why it was like every sound around us silenced all of the sudden. He made me very uncomfortable because I always felt weird near him. It was too hard to explain and the only time I tried Pat bullied me all day just because of that.
According to him, I had a crush on Wai, first of all, I'm not gay, not that I have problems with it, it's just that I never felt attracted to a man before so it can't be. And even if I was gay Wai wouldn't be my type, he's too picky, too stubborn, too skinny, and too annoying. 

Also, I was almost certain he had a crush on Pran and Pran liked men so they probably would end up dating soon or later. 

Piiiiiiii... The whistle sounds and it's time to get the hell out of here if we don't want our parents to chop us into pieces and feed them to the pigs. Whenever this happens there's no fight stronger than our will to live another day so we actually run all together trying to reach our faculties fast enough to clean our faces and act as if nothing happened. 

When I'm about to run I hear a loud crash and look behind to see Wai passed out on the ground, blood is coming from his head and the worst scenario crosses my head. Screw the suspension, I won't leave this boy bleeding here. 
I take off my jacket and kneel next to him. 

"Wai! Wai, wake up, man! C'mon!" I shake him but he doesn't wake up. I check his pulse and it's low but steady so he probably ran out of energy. 

"What is happening here, young man?" Oh shit, the security guard. If I tell him the truth we're both suspended, so I start to think about a plausible lie

"I and my friend were attacked by some older students. He passed out and I was trying to help him, sir." Friend, if only he knew that I was choking this guy a few minutes ago.

He looks at me and I put on my best-worried face and he buys it leaving and telling me to take my friend to the infirmary. There I was with Wai's head on my chest sitting on the ground trying to think of how I was going to take him to any of the infirmaries on campus without getting him killed or without being killed. Suddenly I remembered that the Law faculty wasn't that far. So I took him in my arms and walked there. He wasn't heavy, was actually light for his age. 

Did he eat properly? Oi Korn! Why are you worrying about that? Just take the guy and get back to college before any of your friends notice your absence. 

We reach the place and the local nurse tells me to lay him on the bed, so I do as told. She asks my name and I tell her that I prefer to not say it but to tell him that his guardian angel was the one who saved him... if he heard me he would for sure call me Devil instead. I gave her my number and asked her to update me as soon as he woke up and gave Pran's name so she could ask someone to call him. Wai would prefer to wake up next to his lover and I didn't want any problems on my account. 

I return just in time when they are all leaving for football practice, although Pat is nowhere to be seen. 

"Where's Pat?"

"Look who decided to appear! Where the hell did you go? We thought the security guard caught you. Pat said he forgot something in the cafeteria, he will meet us there." They look at me and I know they are suspicious.

"I don't know where I run to. All I know is just that I was out of college when I stopped, guess I fear my mom more than I thought. Okay, so let's go otherwise coach will make us run extra laps for getting there late." I start laughing and running toward the locker room and they forget whatever they were plotting and run after me.

 I changed and instead of the usual I took my phone with me and asked the coach to keep it with him and to warn me if it rang cause I had a relative in hospital and was waiting for an update on his health condition, second lie of the day.

During all the practice I zone out because there was only one thing in my head:
I freaking left my jacket with him.
