Infectious Desire (VegasPete Fanfic)

SIX

I WAS startled when I heard a knock. I instantly looked at to Khun Vegas, who's sleeping in the hospital bed.

"Come in." I said.

"P' Pete... How's Khun Vegas?"

I looked at him, "He's already fine. The doctor said that his wound was not really deep."

"That's good to hear. By the way, I brought some food, P'Pete." He said and placed the paper bag in the table.

"Thank you, Leo."

"The main family will be here, Phi. P'Chan called me earlier." Leo said.

Oh god. Maybe Khun Korn will replace me as a bodyguard of Khun Vegas.

I nodded at him, "It was my fault." I said,  guiltiness was visible in my voice.

"If I was just more alert...it will not happen to Khun Vegas.."

Leo tapped my shoulder, "P'Pete, it's not your fault."

"You know what, you should eat first. It's already 7 o' clock in the morning. Go, eat that food, Phi." He said and gently pushed me in the side table.

I sat on the couch and ate what Leo brought.

Thank god. It was a rice meal that's why I feel energised.

After I ate, the door opened and it revealed P'Chan. Leo and I immediately stood up as Khun Korn entered the room.

"Khun Korn.." I bowed my head, avoiding his gaze because I'm guilty of what happened to Khun Vegas.

"How's Vegas?" He asked as he scanned the sleeping Vegas.

"He's already fine, Khun Korn. The doctor said that he can be discharge once he wake up." I answered him.

"Did you see the people who did this?"

Leo and I both shook our head, "We don't, Khun Korn. They are wearing helmets."

Khun Korn nodded, "Are you having a hard time, Pete?" He said, "Should I send Arm or Pol here?"

I looked at him, embarrassed, because I knew that I didn't do my best protecting Khun Vegas.

"I'm sorry, Khun Korn. It's my fault.." I said.

"You can go home with us, I will just send Ar--" He didn't finished what he was saying..

"P-pete will be staying h-here, U-uncle.." I was staggered when I heard Khun Vegas' voice.

"Vegas, maybe Pete is not suitable for this job that's why I am sending him back to our household." Khun Korn said.

"No, he's staying with me, Uncle. I'm fine, it's just a little scratch." Khun Vegas said and looked at me as if he was asking me if I am okay.

What the hell are you doing this, Khun  Vegas?

"If that's what you want, Vegas." Khun Korn said and gazed at me, "Let's talk outside, Pete." He said and went out.

I glanced at Khun Vegas, "I'm just going to talk to Khun Korn, Khun Vegas." I said to him, asking his permission.

"Just come back here again.." He weakly said. I just nodded at him and went out.

"Khun Korn.." I addressed him.

"Do you want to continue this job or you want me to replace you, Pete?" He asked me.

I looked at him, "Sorry, Khun Korn. I know that I've disappointed you, but please, give me another chance, Khun Korn." I plead.

He nodded at me, "Yes, Pete. But please, don't let this happen again. I promise Kan that I will protect his sons. Make sure that you do your job efficiently."
