It's still night time. A doctor was already called to dress Nanon's wound as he laid unconscious on the bed. Ohm stands a few steps away, a bit at ease now but still tensed about Nanon.
Once the doctor finished dressing the wound, he checks his pulse then his body temperature by slightly placing his hand on Nanon's forehead. He turns around back at Ohm - who was eagerly waiting.
"How is he now?" Ohm asks.
"There is no threat to him, he has a slight fever and I have given the medicine. He will wake up by morning. But his wounds will take a while to heal.. "
"How long?"
"Not sure, but it will take about a week if I'm right.... But be greatful, it was just a scratch. The bullet didn't hit, if it had...it would have been even worse..."
The doctor took his suitcase as he turned to meet Ohm again, "I'll take my leave now...Call me if there is an emergency..."
Ohm nods as the doctor leaves. His gaze moves back to Nanon. Ohm clenched his fist, the events of earlier playing in his mind. Third - that sick bastard had tried to touch Nanon. Tried to touch something which was his. He has to kill him.
Both Drake and Perth stand nearby the door, looking at Ohm. They never saw Ohm actually worry for someone who was just a pawn in his life. At least not as concerning as now.
Ohm - feeling their eyes on his back spoke without turning around, "You two leave....I will talk to you in the morning.."
That was their cue. Perth nods even though Ohm can't see, "Alright buddy....I will be waiting, We have a lot to talk..."
Ohm silently chuckles, understanding the meaning of his sentence. He hears the footsteps fade, as his eyes dart up to Nanon's face - he looks pale, his body sweating because of the heat. He looks so vulnerable like this.
Ohm takes a seat next to the bed. His hand hesitantly moving to hold Nanon's. He stopped and instead touched his forehead. Ohm could feel heat pass through his hand. He slowly moved the hair strands away from Nanon's forehead.
Ohm couldn't leave Nanon like this. He is aware that Third is gone - but still he couldn't leave him like this. Ohm can't be at ease now, knowing that Nanon is alone - vulnerable and sick. And Ohm hated this feeling.
His memories flood back to him -
Ohm! Just run! Don't worry about me!!
You knew this was coming...Don't be afraid.
STOP!! NO!! THE FIRE -
Ohm was too weak in the past. He couldn't protect the one he loved - he can't afford to loose a life because of him. He had to make sure Nanon was alright.
As the night passed with Ohm still waiting for Nanon to grow consciousness, he unknowingly dozed off to sleep, on the chair.
.
.
Perth and Drake walk out, still not able to digest the fact that Ohm showed that concern towards a mere prostitute. Both knew there was something else going on here, they could feel it from the way Ohm defeated all the intruders.
Rose stumbled upon both of them. She looked worried. "Hey, where is Nanon? How is he?"
Perth and Drake exchange glances. Perth answers, "Ohm is with him....he called the doctor and he said he will gain consciousness in the morning but...."
Rose raised an eyebrow, "But?"
"There is something wrong....Ohm stayed there and asked us to come in the morning. Ohm never did that before. Whoever it is....he never cared so much..."
