My Best Lover, is he? [Completed]

Park

"Park! You better come here now. What have you been upto again!??!

I grinned at Forth sheepishly as I ran into the hall. I was late for Sotus yet again and being one of the seniors, I wasn't setting a very good example for my juniors.

I cringed inwardly as Forth glared at me from the other end of the hall. I quickly walked up to him. Luckily the juniors were not assigned to report for another 30 minutes yet so I was safe but Forth always wanted us to report earlier to do set up.

I been running late for the past week due to having to stay back in classes to submit some pending project work so Lam has been picking up my slack. We figured as long as we didn't say anything, Forth wouldn't realize but he eventually did and that landed me in trouble today.

I went over to Forth who was doing some final work on the laptop for Sotus.

"Do you know how many times you have been late this week alone? We are friends but as head hazer, I cannot let you get away with this and think it is ok."

"Look I know. I'm sorry. I just have pending project work so I been late. I'm sorry. But I have pitched in alot during training itself too."

"What also matters is you be on time. The juniors been walking in late and they said if you can get away with it, they don't see why they can't. And what do you want me to say to that?!"

I kept quiet. I just glared at Forth, ready to retort back when he snapped at me.

"Moving forth, you will do clean up by yourself for the following week. Since you can afford to be late, you can afford to stay back too."

"Forth! It's a 3 man job. Its going to take me forever to do it by myself."

"You should have thought of that before you decide to be late. You aren't the only one with assignments. This is me issuing the order as a head hazer. If you don't do it, I will tell the Dean."

I wanted to retort back but Lam held my hand and shook his head. I sighed and turned away, accepting the punishment. Sotus was gruelling enough and it ended around 9pm. Everyone cleared out by 9.30pm and I started to do the clean up. At midnight, I still wasn't done yet but kept at it.

This went on for the next 3 days. On top of cleaning, I still had assignments to complete and Sotus and I barely got any sleep. On my 4th night, I was still cleaning around 11pm when Forth walked in. He watched me from the entrance and I didn't realize, immersed in my task. I was busy keeping back the balls when I accidentally cut my palm on the sharp ends of the carrier. Shit.

I stepped back, looking at my palm. I sighed as I took my bandana to wrap around it when suddenly a pair of hands held my wrist. I looked up to realise it was Forth.

"Hey.."

"Sit down. Let's dress this wound first."

I sat down and Forth dressed my wound for me. We were quiet throughout and finally he was done. He insisted I sat down and he finished off my remaining tasks for me.

We left the hall around midnight and whilst walking back, Forth muttered.

"Take a break tomorrow. Rest your palm. Get some sleep. You don't have to come into Sotus."

"It's fine. I be ok. It's Friday already. 1 more day and then I can rest for the weekend."

"Park. Don't be stubborn. Listen. I'm issuing this as your head hazer."

I really do like Forth as a friend but 2nd time this fellow has pulled the head hazer card on me. I just glared but I didn't say anything. I went back to my room but thanked Forth before doing so.

I sighed as I laid on my bed, feeling terribly wiped out from the week. The rest tomorrow will do me good but I really hated that Forth kept pulling the head hazer card on me.

Just then a message flitted in from Forth, "remember to shower and eat"

"Is this you as head hazer again?" I sarcastically replied back. About 5 minutes later, a reply flitted in.

2 in fact.

"As a friend."

"Please."

I looked at the messages for so long before sighing deeply.
