I Never Knew You Existed ( Exo Kai Fanfiction) COMPLETED

Is it enough?

" I...I- uhh" He couldn't find the right words.. He couldn't explain.

" Tell me. "

" ... They .. need money..."

" From you?" I asked.

He nodded.

" What for? Why?"

" My dad owed them money.. When I was a little boy, he borrowed money from those three brothers. Now that I'm older.. I have to finish all my dad's debts."

" Just ask your dad to pay! Why are you facing all of this?"

" Ermm..."

" Well!?"

" He's dead."

" WHAT!!!??" I was in shock.

"Those three boys.. they murdered my dad.. He couldn't pay them back.. So they took his life.."

Surprisingly.. he didn't mention anything about his mom...

" I'm sorry.."

" No its okay.." He smiled.

Why are you smiling!? I screamed in my head.

" Wait.... they kept on mentioning about you ending up like your dad if you don't pay up?"

" Yea.. "

" Which means?"

" Which means... If I don't pay up.. They'll murder me. "

" NO!"

" I'm trying my best to collect money..But I think I can manage.."

" How much your dad owe them?"

" 5000"

" How are we going to have that amount of money three days time?!?!"

" Its okay.. I told you.. I can manage."

"I'm helping you! "

Words .. that I could not imagine .. Escaped from my very own mouth.

" You're gonna help me?"

" Yes! "

I knew it.. All those sweating and tired looks of him... He was working.

Another puzzle solved! I spot him sweating on the first week of me knowing him.. He wasn't working out.. He was working.

.........

Day and night we kept on working..

I tried selling my clothes but he refused to let me do it.

I tried selling my food but... he refused to let me do it.

In summary, he wanted to handle this on his own.. I had to let him.

" Thanks for the help!" he said as he walked me back home.

" Sure! Tomorrow again?"

" Noo its okay. I can work alone tomorrow."

" Seriously? Are you shoo-ing me from your life now? I teased.

He laughed.

Then he came closer to me.

" Never."

I laughed.. nervously... Our faces were few inches away..

" Urmmmm I guess I got to go now.."

" Yeaaa its late..."

" You should go home too ya know?" I told him.

" Uh huh.. sure."

" Don't make me catch you working at this hour! I'm keeping my eyes on you boy!" I actioned my fingers from mine to his.

" You've always kept your eyes on me?"

" No!" I laughed.

" Really?"

" Yes.. obviously."

" Can I ask you something?"

" Sure! Shoot!"

" Do you like me?"

My eyes were wide open.

" Huh?"

" Do you like me? Yes?"

" Urmmm... umm.. No! "

" Oh."

He then backed off from me a little.

" So I'll see you tomorrow then?" He managed to ask after that awkward moment.

" Yea.. Goodnight."

I closed the door and hit myself on the wall.

" If only you knew.... If only you knew.... How much I love you.."
