Just Enemies (KornxWai)

8. Baby steps

***PRAN'S POV***

I'm currently having dinner with my evil boyfriend who's telling me about another one of his great plans, usually, they end up in a big mess that I have to somehow solve, but here am I supporting it as always. Honestly this time he may have some valid point and this may work...God I hope it does, otherwise, there will be no way we will be able to go public with our relationship and I'm done with hiding it, even though my parents will probably kill me if they find that I'm dating the kid next door that I'm supposed to hate with all my power... guess it's true hate and love are two sides of the same coin. 

"I know there's something going on between those two. Don't you agree?" He looks at me and as much as I want to beat him, he's got a point. I'm still processing Wai's attitude, like I swear I'd never thought he would just snap at everyone especially because of Korn.

"What are planning? Don't hurt Wai please, you promised me you would stop." I look at him and he knows that I'm not kidding. 

"I won't. I'll just trick Korn into thinking that. If my suspicion is right he will lose control and stand up for Wai, that's what I'd do for you at least. I know how he acts when he is in love, he is way worse than me. If you touch his lover you're dead."

"But if Wai doesn't like him? I don't this to get messy."

"I know, I'm afraid too but c'mon Wai scolded the entire team because Korn had his hand injured, and we know how scared he must've been." 

"Ok, you have a point. Just don't overdo it, otherwise, you can forget your midnight exercises until you fix the mess." 

"Not that, I'll behave hubby." 

And with that, we return to our usual routine. 

***WAI'S POV***

"Man you stay in the kitchen today, those bullies just arrived." My workmate warns me. Here everyone knows that they love to mess with me and thankfully they always protect me. This is actually my safe place, I think I'll work here forever. 

"Don't worry, let me take the drinks to their table. Trust me." He looks worried but doesn't stop me.

Am I crazy? Most likely.

Am I walking to the place I should avoid? Yes.

What am I thinking? I don't even know. I just have the feeling that I should do this. 

His words kept echoing in my head all day and maybe, just maybe I want it to be true. I want him to actually not hate me. I don't know why, I'm still very confused but I know that only by facing the reality I'll get my answers. Bad communication never leads to good things, and maybe we're just side effects of a war that wasn't ours to fight in the first place.

"Here you have." I put the beers on the table and the look on his face makes me think that I may be wrong. What if he is fed up and actually was just being nice? Well, it's too late to regret now. 

"Look if it isn't the brave kitten. Still feeling like a superhero?" Pran raises his voice, and I know what he's about to do. He always messes with me, he doesn't miss a single opportunity to make me fear for my life. Not even when I'm working, he always spills his drinks to make me come clean over and over again. It doesn't bother me anymore, I'm used. 

"Leave him alone, he's working. School problems are to be solved at school, isn't what you always say regarding we know who? So fair rules for all." Korn's voice sounds and we all freeze.
