With Him || Heehoon

CHAP 31

Sunghoon's POV

I moved towards Miguel and the guys surrounding me.

Nobody paid me any attention and I noticed Miguel watching the match intensely. Winching every time a particular big guy got hit and that was practically every time because the big guy was dying out there.

I watched the match for a while, noticing the other opponent and doing a little math in my head.

"Poor guy is dying out there." I finally said, managing a nonchalant laid back voice. "Put money on him?"

Miguel growned gulping down a half a beer bottle. "A lot of money and he's out there messing up. I'll kill him if I end up losing a fortune to this."

"Can't switch up?"

He growned again. "Can but all this other guys already had their ass handed out to them tonight. The others are working else where."

"Okay I'll do it." I said and he finally turned to me, taking note of the person he's been talking to.

"You, switch up and fight that?" He asked raising both brows. I nodded and he brushed me off. "Stop joking kid."

"I ain't joking. I can take him. I haven't fought at all tonight. I've got a good chance." I said pressing on.

He looked as if he was thinking about it. "for how much?"

"No money." I said and that really got him.

"No consequence on me?"

"Yup, it's all me."

After that he was pretty convinced and after a few words were exchanged, the dying guy on the ring was exchanged with me.

Yes. The guy was bigger than me, but he has been fighting and he had weaknesses I could use.

So I got my ass handed to me.

Yes, I beat the first dude and won the match for Miguel but in order to really be on Miguel's good side, I decided to fight again and again and again.

Out of five fights. I managed to win three. With no distractions and a goal in my mind, I was pretty good.

By the time I was out of the ring, everything hurt and I could barely see. But I could hear Miguel's laughter clearly.

"Chap, you've got spirit. I like you." I didn't say anything just rested on the hood of his car.

"Now exactly what do you need from me that made you go through this?"

"A favour." I managed out, spitting out blood.

Danm, I'm gonna have whole lot of bruises.

"What kind?"

"I need you to help me with somebody."

He laughed, "chap, you want me to kill for you?"

___

I don't know how I made it home but by the time I was inside my room I was danm sure that I'd broken one more bone.

I stumbled down to the ground, my eye dropping close.

Tomorrow.

Everything would be fine tomorrow.

"Hoon?"

I heard a voice before the lights flicked on. "Sunghoon?"

I forced my eyes open in confusion, recognising heeseung's voice immediately. He rushed to my side, his arms looking like he wanted to hug me and at the same time, not touching me at all.

"Sunghoon what the hell happened?"

"What-- what are you doing here?" I turned to look around to make sure I was not in the wrong room. It's my room alright.

"I didn't leave. I couldn't. It's been two hours, waiting for you. What happened? Were you ambushed? Robbers?" He asked voice laced with worry. I opened my mouth to say something but heeseung silenced me.

"No I'm not leaving. Yes, I know it's late and I shouldn't be here but I can't... I can't leave you. Not like this."

I smiled, then winced. "Dummy, I would hug you but everything hurts so.... Later?"

heeseung smiled. "I'm holding unto that."

He frowned eyes going through my body. "Tell me later?"

I watched him for a minute before slowly nodding. He nodded too. "So you're here instead of at the entrance of a hospital, I'm guessing you don't want to go to a hospital?"

I nodded, eyes half closed. I think I heard him say something like 'okay' right before I heared by clothe rip into two, jolting me back to the land of the living.

"Dude-- that cost money."

"I owe you a new shirt then, too bloody anyway. Where the hell is your first aid and can you please stay awake?"

That was the last I heard of him. He must have said other things or was just two serious to say anything.

Heeseung cleaned up all my wounds, bandaging my broken ribs. Half top my chest was wrapped up and I had plasters here and there.

I would've asked how he came to know how to do all this but I was not conscious enough.

I remembered him wrapping his arms around me before I let myself sink into the abyss of a well deserved sleep.

___

I woke up to the sound of heeseung waking me up.

Not the kettle, heeseung.

"Hey." He said looking blurry through my eyes. "Sorry I didn't want to wake you up but I had to. I'm sorry."

"It's fine." I answered my voice hoarse and rough.

Heeseung helped me up and handed me a glass of water that I finished in one drink. "Good morning?"

"Morning?" He laughed sitting down on the bed and dropping down a carton of pizza.

"It's evening sleepy head. You slept all through the day."

"Wow." I believed him cause the time also said so and I felt so refreshed. My injuries still hurt but I was ten times better than I was last night.

I smirked at heeseung. "Nurse heeseung.... Hmm has a nice ring to it."

He chuckled, "I'm not a nurse. Just picked up a few things when spending all my time with my mom in the hospital."

I nodded in understanding. "Mommy's boy."

"Well it's either her or my dad so..." He trailed off then presented the pizza box. "I suck at cooking but you have to eat something."

"you don't get along with you dad?" I said opening the box of pizza, it was piping hot. And cheesy.

"Yeah, we haven't really gotten along since forever. He's a good guy but I guess I didn't like the fact he made me and mom leave home. Then he's not always around. Work here and there. Leaving us here and coming to visit would have been the same." He shrugged. "I don't hate him though."

I nodded, "I don't get along with my step dad too."

"Yea, I saw that the last time."

"But in his case, he is the absolute worst. But that's a story for another day." I mumbled painfully reaching for a slice of pizza.

"I'm here sunghoon, anything you need. I'm here." Heeseung said bringing out his own slice of pizza.

I smiled, despite all the pain. I believed him and I can't wait to tell him everything. He's here for me, the greatest ally I will and can ever have.

I'm super grateful that he's here, cuz god only knows where I will be now if not for him.
