Brothers, I Think I Have A Crush (Kongkwan-Fon)

XXVI - Sweet & Sour

Fon was standing by the football bleachers talking to one of her classmates about an assignment while she was waiting for Sky to finish his weigh-in and meeting because Neua had to pick up their mom from an event that she attended nearby their school since their father was stuck in a meeting and couldn't do it so Sky and Fon had to ride on Tor's car going home.

After bidding her classmate goodbye, Fon turned her head towards the parking lot and saw someone running away hurriedly making the young girl squint her eyes and could have sworn it was the person who she was thinking of for the past few days and decided to run after her.

Kongkwan was rushing towards the bus stop trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to escape her eyes as she held her injured hand, feeling it stinging from the pain inflicted by Prao's shoe.

She was hoping a bus would arrive soon and take her away from the trenches of this cruel school when she heard faint sounds of her name being called making her shake in fear thinking the bullies continued to follow her and flinched almost instantly when a hand touched her shoulder causing her to drop the books on her arms.

Fon: "Oh my gosh! I am so sorry Kongkwan. I didn't mean to startle you." She rambled while collecting the fallen materials on the ground as Kongkwan stood still while clutching her chest in shock but felt slightly relieved it was Fon who was behind her and not her bullies.

She gripped her hand and remembered her bruising one making her internally panic before hiding her hand inside her skirt pocket.

Kongkwan: "N-no. I-it's fine. I-it must be the coffee I drank this morning." She nervously chuckled.

Fon then stood up with Kongkwan's things in her arm. She was about to hand them over to her classmate when an idea popped up on her head.

Fon: "Are you heading home?" Still holding onto Kongkwan's books.

Kongkwan just nodded and sent a shy tight-lip smile.

Fon: "Let's go then."

Kongkwan: "Huh?"

Fon: "I'll drop you off." She smiled smugly.

Kongkwan: "T-that's not necessary." She tried reaching for her books but Fon pulled it away from her reach.

Fon: "Why not?" She asked while furrowing her eyebrows.

Kongkwan: "B-because.. Uhmmm.. It's not safe for a girl to go home by herself once you drop me off.. A-and your parents might be worried why you aren't home at this time."

Fon: "Neua is picking up mother from a function and Sky has his practice until later. Either of them can pick me up from your house. Don't worry about it." Trying to convince her taller classmate.

Kongkwan: "B-but they might worry."

Fon: "Trust me, they won't." She smiled knowing her twin brothers will probably cheer her on knowing she is growing some balls to finally talk to Kongkwan and become close to her without a shove from them. "Let's go then?"

Kongkwan looked around the parking lot and saw no one was within the vicinity as students and teachers were indeed in a rush going home since it's already the weekends and everyone wanted to enjoy themselves as soon as possible.

She looked at the street ahead hoping a bus would drive by so she can atleast try to escape Fon but it looked like there isn't one coming anytime soon so she just sighed in defeat before looking at Fon's hopeful eyes making her look cute that the older girl felt a blush on her cheeks before reluctantly nodded but was met with an overly excited Fon who smiled widely at her reply.

Fon: "Yay! Well, let's go then?" She raised an eyebrow and raised her free arm gesturing for Fon to start walking to her home which was just a few blocks from the school.
