Make It, Break It

Part 3

Sky entered his apartment which was provided throughout the training duration. It was not that he's required to stay there indefinitely, it was just provided for his own convenience. It was up to him whether he preferred to stay or rent a place outside of the centre.

It was large enough for him even though his own room at home was far bigger. It provided a small kitchen, shower and a bath, a queen bed and small living room and study. Good enough for a physician like him, he was always busy throughout the day. He was back in the room only for shower and a good night sleep.

He put his backpack on the floor. He went to the balcony and stood there. The apartment was on the second floor and there's plenty of other staff living there too. He figured it would be best to stay inside the complex so that he could attend cases earlier than if he rents outside. Plus, he didn't have to spend on accommodation fee even when it was not really the issue here.

He looked down and saw that the apartment was near the volleyball hall.

His mind immediately jumped to the thought of Prapai.

It was strange that he didn't see the boy at all after the last incident. He was engulfed in more patients even though P-Ray already worked alongside him. P-Ray was a magnificent trainer when he's not distracted from his relationship. Even when it was not yet a week here in the centre, Sky was already quite confident in managing cases.

The last time he saw Prapai was three days ago.

What is he doing right now?

Is he still practicing? Or is he in campus?

Sky glanced at the clock, it was 3 PM in the evening of a weekend.

He might not be here for training, he could go out and have a date instead.

Sky shook his head as he found himself thinking about the volleyball athlete a lot more than he should. He was the one who told the boy to take a step back and see him as a physician, a professional. And now he was the one who couldn't get him out of his head.

Sh-

Sky saw a big bike strode inside by the centre's main gate. Weird, it was supposed to be a very peaceful evening.

The bike stopped right in front of the apartment, more specifically under his balcony. He squinted and saw the rider took off his helmet.

It was Prapai!

And as if his heart was calling him, the boy looked up and somehow their eyes locked.

Sky froze in his stance.

Prapai waved. He looked more dashing than ever, his hair was quite wet. Where did he go?

"What you're doing, doc?" he shouted, the smile stuck on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Sky asked back, he didn't have to shout because there wasn't much distance between them.

"I have an engagement," interesting, Sky thought. "Why aren't you outside, doc?"

"I'm fine here, thank you." Prapai chuckled lightly. Sky waved back and went inside the apartment. His heart started racing, and he had to sit down to calm down. It felt like magic when he was only thinking him – the first time in that week – and he came crushing down in front of him.

Sky had to hide himself or else he would lose his cool in front of the boy. It was not going to happen, not when he asked him to stay professional.

He heard Prapai pressed his bike's horn multiple times.

"Doctor Sky!" he called out. Sky had no other choice other than to stand out in the balcony again. He didn't want other people's peace disrupted too.

"What is it?"
