Race to you

Chapter 5: 🏍️

Kim reached the garden behind the Faculty of Music a bit late—it's almost 8 PM now.

Get gets off his bike; an old one, and walk over to the same cemented bench. He realized that he's going to have a company when he was steps away from the bench and there a figure of a boy—back facing him. The lone lamp post shone over the boy's face, it highlights the boy's lashes—long long lashes, those doe eyes and his high pointy nose. Kim can also clearly see the mole just beside the boy's eyes and how his little curls make cute shadows on the floor.

"Chay..." Kim breathes, getting the boy's attention and turning back to face the older.

Porchay stood from the bench, his eyes flashing a quick relief after being drowning in worry and fear. "I was waiting for you, P'Kim!"

Kim walked closer, stood in front of Porchay, and asked "You've been waiting?" Kim mused. Porchay was waiting for him to come back? "How long were you waiting?"

Since yesterday—Porchay wanted to answer. After their little moment from the same spot, he came back the next day, hoping to meet Kim again but the older one didn't come. He tried again today, we went straight here after finishing his last class that was about... "3 hours" he said. He's been waiting on the same spot for Kim for 3 hours now.

Porchay moved a bit and gave an ample amount of space for Kim to sit on. Kim sat beside him. "Here, phi." He handed a carton box of chocolate drink to Kim.

Kim stares at the drink before asking "You bought this for me?"

Porchay smiled and nodded. "I did, but it's not cold anymore. I finished mine too." He pointed on the empty carton box just beside him, poked with a used straw. "It's a chocolate milk drink, it’s my favorite."

Kim poked the straw in his drink, took a few sips of the now warm chocolate drink, and asked "What if I didn't come today? Will you drink this one?"

"No. I might give it to a friend." Porchay answered mindlessly. Not aware of how Kim's aura quickly shifted.

Kim somehow doesn't like the thought of someone else drinking the drink that Porchay specifically bought for him. Was it possessiveness starting to run through his veins or he's just territorial?

"Good thing I came." He breathes after taking in the last sip of the drink. He then moved closer to Porchay, his elbows leaning on the table as he faced the younger. "Can you clean my bruises?"

Porchay wouldn't lie but one of the reasons why he kept coming back to this forgotten park in hopes of meeting Him again was because he wanted to be the person cleaning and taking care of the elder's bruises caused by Kim's older brother. Porchay is now sure that his Hia's boyfriend did cause Kim's cut and bruise after Porsche called him last night to update him with the situation in their racetrack. He said he accidentally hurt his brother. He looked so lost right now. I might stay here longer, Chay. Porsche told him last night.

Accidentally hurt his brother?—Porchay scoffs. Yeah, sure.

Porchay rummages his mini first aid kit from his bag and proceeds to clean Kim's cut and bruise. He looked so serious as he worked on the antiseptic, followed by a pinch of ointment.

Kim let out a sigh when he felt Porchay's delicate fingers on his skin. He smiled on his own as he stared at Porchay's face. It has only been 2 days since he last saw the younger but he's been craving on seeing those long lashes and doe eyes once more.

"Is the old Band-Aid, okay?" Porchay brought Kim back to reality, making the elder reluctantly take his gaze off of Porchay's face. He's holding the same box of Band-Aid as he asks Kim.
