When Beauty Destroys The BL World

Not Just a Character

Irene was brought to where the slave were placed.
All the boys and man inside were looking at them, as soon as they saw Irene with the two man and the injured male prostitute.
The Nebun Mother men then push down the male prostitute to the bed.
"Ah!" The male prostitute grunted in pain.
"Careful!" Irene said towards the two man. But the two man just snorted. As in they didn't care at all.
"We will be waiting outside. Don't you dare do anything funny." One of the man warned Irene, as they leave the place.
Irene could only calm down and focus towards her patient. When suddenly another young man approaches them.
"Callus, what happened? Did that cranky old man do this to you?" He asked in concerned.
"It's fine, Ben."
"What do you mean it fine? You look terrible than before!" He said with exasperation.
"Don't worry, that old man will never come here again."
"But..."
"Err...I'm sorry, can you do me a favour, I need your help to clean his wound." Irene had to interject, just as the young man called Ben tries to argue with the male prostitute who's named is Callus.
"Ye...yes, yes. I will bring some water for that."
"Thank you." She thanked him.

As soon as he arrives with the big bowl of water, Irene cleans Callus wound gently. Though he still hissed in pain, as the wet cloths touches his injured face.
"I'm sorry..." Irene stopped, fearing of hurting him.
"It's alright...I can bear it. You may carry on, miss..."
"Irene. Just called me Irene." She said as she continues to clean his wound.

Irene done wiping off all the blood from his face, she then begin the treatment towards his injuries. Once she's done treating him, Irene were about to leave, for him to rest.
Callus suddenly hold her hand.
"Please...don't leave me...I'm afraid..." He said almost like a whispers, while he lies on bed.
"Alright...I'll stay here till you fall asleep." Irene then took a sit beside him.
"Are you...a physician?" Callus asked.
"No, I'm not." Irene shakes her head as she answers.
"But you seem...to have profound knowledge of medicine..." He mentioned.
"I learn it by myself. I guess...I want to help the sick..."
"Why?" Callus question again.
"Well...when I was a young, my mom...umm...she was really really sick. When she relapsed, I...I couldn't do anything...to save her. All I could do, is wait. Desperately waiting for someone to come. Come and save her. As I was waiting holding her hand...her hand grew cold. When help arrive...she already long gone." Irene recalled back her past when her mother died. She was so young when she find her mother lying on the floor motionlessly. The young her tried hard to wake her up but no response. She called for an ambulance. Waiting for them. But as soon as they arrive, they failed to revive her mom. It was already to late. Her father come from work, when he got a called from the hospital. He grieve. As she was waiting for her dad outside the morgue. She heard a couple of doctors words as they talking. Had her mom received CPR earlier from someone nearby, there might be a chances to save her.
Hearing such possibilities, Irene cried hard. Her heart was full of regrets. Had she have that knowledge, she might be the one to save her mom.
Since then, she's been taking care of her father health. She tooks medical lesson and training. Which leads her want to be a doctor. She almost completed her studies but it seems that could never happened. Not when she's stuck in this world. Callus listens as Irene narrate her past emotionlessly as if it wasn't her sad moments.
"At that time, I was determined to help anyone who needed help. So I won't longer had that regret."
"And now you have saved me." Callus smile towards Irene, as he pull her hand close to his heart.
"I thought people like me, are the unfortunate. And people like you are the fortunate one. But it seems that...people like you, can have their own misfortune. It must have been hard for you, losing your mom." He said.
Hearing that, Irene look down. She then regains her composure.
"You need to get some rest now." She said, almost like coaxing a little kid.
"Alright." Callus comply as he closes his eyes. But still firmly holding her hand.
"Thank you, Irene." He mutters, as he began to fall asleep.
Seeing that he's in deep sleep, Irene slowly pull her hand from his grasp. As she walk out bringing the big bowl and wet cloths, she saw that all the young boy and man there were looking at her. Feeling out of place, she quickly fasten her pace.
But then, Ben approaches her.
"Thank you, Irene. If you didn't help him, he would have been thrown out." He said.
Irene look back at him, wonders.
"Why? Isn't it better to be outside rather than...here?"
Ben smile weakly.
"Unlike you, we have no place to go....we've been here for a long time. We've grown attach to it. This place had already been our home. So...kicking us out, is more likely to be our death." He said as he leave.
Irene who was stunned, couldn't said anything.
She looks back at them. This make her realise something. To her this just a novel world not a real world. But to them, this is reality. Being here in this world, make her realise that all the people that she considered not real and fictional are an actual human being. They have dream, they have their own story, they can feel happy, sad, fear and pain. They can bleed out and they can die. For the first time in this world, Irene finally considered that this is a real world.
