Chapter -17 Strip

His thoughts got broken by the siren of Police cars, following with ambulances and firetrucks. By now, all of them knew that, there's some criminals down there. Taking decision, Kim kicked the door break, held Chay and jumped out of the Giant wheel. Without showing in anyone's eyes, he flew between the woods. He placed Chay down, and asked him to stay there and not go anywhere.

"Just wait for me here, don't go anywhere." Kim ordered Chay
"Where are you going?" Chay asked him.
"Just trust me, I'll tell you everything. Just promise me, you'll stay here. If anything happens, just call me, okay?"
"Okay, I promise"
"Just be safe, please"

Kim gave a smile, and went back to the carnival. He was feeling bad for leaving Chay there alone, but that place was more safer than the Playland. He reached there, hid behind a stall. He travelled his eyes around the Playland, saw three men, holding guns, one of them, holding a hostage.

Meanwhile the police officers, pointing guns at them, ordering them to surrender. Kim knew it was not that easy, deciding what to do. He wanted this to end as soon as possible, but had to wait. He could've had just blasted their heads off by just one click, but it's not justice. If we say it in human language.

Those criminals had to get arrested and taken to the court for the justice. And that's police's job. After examining all his surroundings, he made a move. Kim was about to take step ahead, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice, he looked at the direction, the voice was coming from. And suddenly, he felt all his plan got ruined, a wave of instant fear started flowing in him.

"Kim!" It was chay, shouting his name again and again.

'what is he doing here? Didn't I told him to wait there? Is he crazy? Does he want to die?'

From the corner of his eye, he saw a man targeting Chay with his gun. Before he can pull the trigger, Kim ran to Chay, but suddenly felt a sharp pain, he got shot on his arm. Not paying attention to it, he reached to Chay, pulled him towards himself, and hid behind a tree.

As they took shelter behind a tree, they heard several gunshots. Holding Chay tightly in his arms, Kim sat there, waiting for the next situation. After a few minutes, everything went silent. Chay was breathing heavily while being squeezed between Kim's arms. He looked up, only to see Kim looking at a specific place, not even blinking his eyes.

Chay shook Kim, to get his attention. His sight caught a glimpse of Kim's arm. It was bleeding, "Why are you bleeding? How did you- Kim ignored his question and bursts out of anger.

"What were you thinking, huh? Do you think you're some kind of superhero? Why did you came here? Didn't I told you wait there for me? Do you wanted to die?"
"But one of them was about to shoot you, that's why I did it to get his attention, I'm sorry"
"Are you crazy? Why do you always forget that I'm a vampire! I can not die! Atleast not with a bullet!"
"I'm sorry-
"Shut up!" Kim said cutting off Chay's words, hugging him tightly. "You scared the shit out of me. If you want to keep me alive that much, just do a favour. Don't ever do that thing again! Please!"
Chay didn't said anything, and hugged him back. "I'm sorry"
"It's fine"

After several good minutes, Kim peeked outside, and saw the police officers, arresting the criminals, putting cuffs on them. He felt a little relief, but something unusual caught his eye, there were only two of them. 'Where is the third one?' Suddenly something made him turn on his side, resulting a bullet to pierce through Chay's shoulder.

Kim was taken aback. His breath stopped for a moment, not able to process what just happened. He looked back, and saw the third man, who was about to shoot one of them. But shot Chay in last. He was about to run away, but Kim felt sudden anger rising in him, resulting his hand pointing towards that man's face, and squeezing it. Causing it to blast into thousand pieces.

Not wanting any more trouble, he picked up Chay, and took him back to his mansion, to get him treated. He cannot go to the hospital, because of his own reasons. While being on his way back, he was checking onto Chay again and again, to make sure he's still awake.

"Say something! Keep talking to me! Don't be so quite!" Kim said to Chay.
"But you told me to shut up" Chay said, teasing Kim.
"From when did you started following my commands? Weren't you the one to break the promise and ran back to the Playland? Even when you knew, how much danger was there?" Even by scolding him, it was the only way of keep Chay talking, that was coming in his mind.
"I had no intention to break the promise! I saw something there, it was looking so..scary, I got scared and that's why I ran back to you"
"Was that some kind of animal?"
"No! Not an animal, but a human! But not fully a human, maybe a wolf..a manwolf! Oh...I don't know!"

Kim was so confused. 'What is he talking about? What did he saw there? I'm sure that place was all safe excluding the wild animals. What does he mean by a manwolf? Don't tell me..."

Kim gasped at his own thoughts. Chay noticed it, "what?"
"Ah.. nothing, we are here." Kim decided to stay quiet for now. He reached inside the house, placing Chay onto the couch, calling out for his uncle's and brother, but no one was responding. 'Where did they went just now?'

Seeing Kim confused and nervous, Chay got up and went to him. "Stay calm. Take a deep breath, breath out. Relax, everything is fine."
Hearing Chay's words made him feel relaxed. All his thoughts vanished away.
"Give me the first-aid, I'll do the rest of the work"
Breaking out of his own world, he looked at Chay with one eyebrow raised.
"Ah! Excuse me? Are you saying that I don't know how to first aid a person?"
"What? No! I was saying that because you looked-
"Relax, I'm kidding. Wait here, I'll bring the kit, but please, Don't. Go. Anywhere.

Chay nodded, and sat there, taking of his tshirt, hissing in pain. This pain was so new to him, ofcourse he never took any bullet for anyone before. He heard Kim's footsteps.

"Here is the first aid-

Kim looked at the shirtless Chay, sitting on the couch. His breath hitched. Chay looked behind, and saw Kim standing still on the stairs, "What are you doing? Come here! It's hurting!"

Hearing Chay shouting, Kim came out of his imaginary world, he took a step forward, only to skip a stair and stumbling over. Chay laughed at him, only to hiss in pain.

"Wow, I can't even laugh now.."
"I'm sorry"
"Eh? What are you sorry about?"

That's true, what was he sorry about? That was the question, even Kim cannot answer himself. Maybe he's sorry because he couldn't save Chay on time, or maybe because of other reasons.

Kim came to Chay, placed the kit on the table. He took some cotton to clean the wound first, "you're still bleeding"
He cleaned the wound, putted some ointment on it, covered it with dressing. In the meantime, Chay was staring at Kim, not even taking his eyes off for a second. He didn't knew why, but if he can stare at Kim like that, he wanted his wounds to never heal, so Kim can treat him throughout his lifetime.

Completing his dressing, Kim was about to get up, but got stopped by Chay.

"Strip!"
"Eh?"
