Just Enemies (KornxWai)

3. Aqua Raincoat

***Wai's POV***

I open my eyes due to the sunlight that's annoying the hell out of me. My head hurts worse than some hangovers I had before. I try to sit but the dizzyness takes the best of me and I almost collapse onto the mattress, again. A strong hand grabs me from behind and supports my whole body weight. The touch is soft, the skin is as cetin and warm to the point to sent chills down my spine. 

"Easy ninja warrior. You almost paid heaven a visit. Don't make sudden movements, your body is still recovering from the fight." That voice. I wouldn't mind waking up to the voice for the rest of my life. 

I smile and look at Pran who flashes me a warm smile. He helps me to get up slowly and to dress properly. As my school uniform's jacket is full of dust and blood, he lends me his. I gladly accept and feel the scent of his perfume embodying me. 

"Oh, you're awake dear. How are you feeling? I'm gonna give you some painkillers in case the pain gets too unbearable to handle. Be careful next time, if it wasn't for your friend, the outcome could have been worse." The nurse gets closer to me and writes the prescription. 

"I literally own you one Pran."

"As much as I want to take advantage of that, it wasn't me who brought you here. I was called to come to take you home and stay with you. The teacher was so worried about you that she even wrote us a free pass for tomorrow, the whole day." He looks at me with a lost look, and now I'm confused. 

If it wasn't he the one who brought me, then who was? Because I know for sure that wasn't anyone of my teammates, whenever this happens they only think about themselves. I'm always left behind, having to pick myself up and check into the hospital to bandage the cuts, alone.

We start walking towards the door. Pran looks behind and suddenly gets back to the bed and picks up something.

"You forgot your jacket. Let's get you to the dorm, you look like you're still in dreamland. I'll buy dinner for you." He gives me a jacket and keeps walking, saying bye to the nurse. 

I look at the jacket and the shock almost makes me faint again. I think my heart suddenly skipped a beat. That can't be right, the universe must be joking with me at this point, that has to be a really good explanation of how that freaking aqua raincoat got here. Maybe it was laying on the ground next to me and whoever found me must've thought it was mine, yes that's it. It can't be anything else. Right?

Should I ask the nurse? Maybe it's better to never know. But what do I do with this piece of torn clothing? I can't give it to the owner, I don't have death wishes, also I can't even get near that faculty without having my head at a stake. I'm gonna throw this in the first trash bin I find outside, exactly. That's the wisest option.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I'll go now, have a good day miss."

"You're welcome. If you see you're friend, please tell him to get his cut checked otherwise that can cause an infection. He was so worried about you that didn't allow me to clean his wounds. He even asked me to text him to update him about your health condition. That's a keeper, friends like that one are very rare." I was so confused and curious at the same time. A keeper? My ass! He's a bully, who would want to keep a bully, not me I'm not that masochist.

"Sorry miss just one more question, do you have his name?" She shooked her head. Nice now I wouldn't know who did it. "Can you describe him?"

"Sure. He's a handsome lad, he may be a tiny bit shorter than you. He has thick eyebrows-"

"Oh, no. That's enough, I already know who he is. I gotta go, once more thank you." 

That can't be! I'm living in a freaking simulation of an alternative universe. I wasn't saved by the person I despise the most in this entire world. He hates me, he would never bring me here. Why would he do it? For me to be thankful? No, I hate him even more now. How the hell did this happen? He doesn't have any love for his life, if my friends caught him he would be dead by now. 

I look at the freaking raincoat and just want to burn it. I hide it in my bag, if someone recognizes this I'm in deep trouble. I'll have to find a way to give this to him. Maybe during our next fight, because let's face it... There will be a next one. I can just throw that onto the ground while fighting and whatever happens to it, it's not my problem anymore. 

But my conscience tells me that even if I don't want I kinda own him. He brought me there, not sure why, but truth be told he did it. It was kind of him, but also very stupid and doesn't have any logical explanation. Probably he got scared to be expelled if I told the principal, I will never know.

We get to my dorm and there's a plastic bag with food on the door handle. What? I didn't cross paths with anyone when I was entering the building. It has a note that says:

'Take care of yourself. Get better soon.' 

"Oi Wai! Do you have a secret admirer? Now you can't mess with me anymore. Do you have a cue on who she may be?" A cue? I'm the most antisocial guy on the faculty, apart from the gang no one talks to me. 

"It's probably someone pranking me. Weren't you pranked too?" He looks at me and starts fidgeting his hands, which looks suspicious.

"Oh yes, totally pranked. Let's just bury that. But your admirer seems genuinely worried about you. Also...free food man, just accept it and roll with it."

"Did you discover who lives there after all? In the dorm in front of you? Who was the prankster?"

"It's a senior, he was hazing me. Enough of that topic, let's eat." He opens my room door and flies to the kitchen. 

I look at the food and there are two containers, it seems like that person knew I would have company, and that's really weird. I try to push that thought aside. There's Khao Pad and my favorite: Green Curry. Ok...this person has to know me, but who can be? Maybe some girl from the faculty, I'll have to be more aware. 

We eat the food and spend the rest of the day watching movies in bed. I forget about the fight, the unexpected problem to be solved, and the secret admirer. It's just me and Pran. 
I look at him and see that he is almost sleeping, bring him closer to me and he hugs me, putting his head on my chest. I pray that he falls asleep before he notices how fast my heart is beating. 
I caress his forehead and kiss it lightly once I noticed that he is actually sleeping. His sun-kissed skin makes him look like an angel, and his chest rising and falling as he breathes can be compared to the light ocean waves on a summer day. His muscles are starting to show since he joined the football team and he keeps getting hotter over time, too hotter for my own sanity.

His phone rings and 'just a friend' appears as the id. Does Pran have a crush on someone? Should I just let him know how I feel? It's been years, I don't want to ruin our friendship but I can't lose him to someone else. I was always here I won't let someone just appear in his life and take him away from me. 

I gotta find out if he has someone and I have to find a way to push that person aside.
