I supported Luhan as he stood up and I brought him out of the gym and started walking him to the nurses office. When Luhan and I left, I could hear balls being thrown and screams coming from the gym. Probably meaning they continued the game.
"I didn't go in front of you to protect you or anything if that's what you were thinking" Luhan says, making sure I wasn't getting the wrong idea.
"I didn't think that" I say which was kind of true. Honestly, it'd be more logical for Luhan to run across the gym and coincidentally get hit by a couple of dodge balls instead of him full on trying to protect me.
"I'm always helping you with something, aren't I?" I ask and he staid quiet, now things got awkward and the silence between us was thick.
"Can I...uh ask you for something?" He starts off with saying, now breaking the silence with his question.
"A-Anything" I stutter, damn it why did I stutter?!
"I was wondering if you could help me..."
"Help you?" I repeat, looking at him pretty surprised. Luhan, the number one jock of the school, the most popular guy is asking me, the fat kid for help?
"You're....you're the only one who knows about my family situation and how I live...being poor and all. I put on a rich persona around everyone, but you're the first person to know that I'm actually, barley getting by..." Luhan starts off with saying, explaining his struggles to me.
"So where do I come into all of this?" I question with one eyebrow raised.
"I need you to help me with my dad."
"Your dad...you want me to bring him to a place all alcoholics go to?" I question but Luhan quickly shook his head meaning no.
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. What I meant is could you help me bring him home every day? He's always out drinking and sometimes I don't know where he is or can't get him because I'm hanging out with my own friends."
"So you want me to be your dads babysitter, bringing him back home after he's drunk? I'm not doing that." I say in a tone like I couldn't care less. Luhan's always bullying me and now he's asking me for a favour?!
"I'll pay you!" He quickly says and I turn my head to him once again, more interested this time.
Once he saw I turned my head to look at him he says once again "I-I'll pay you...ten dollars every day, please." Luhan says, looking at me like he was pleading and I thought about it.
"Fine, I'll take your deal." I say and he lightly smirked.
"Thanks man...it really means a lot." He says and I could tell he sounded a bit sincere in thanking me.
We got to the nurses office and I opened the door for the both of us. "Hey Minseok, what're you doing in here, I haven't seen you in a while." The nurse says in a smile before turning her head to Luhan and had a concerned expression on her face. "Luhan, are you okay?"
"He got hit in the head with a couple dodge balls." I explain for him and she sighed to herself.
"Considering you're the lead player for the football team I would guess you'd be able to dodge a couple balls Luhan" she teases in a smile, trying to make Luhan laugh. "I'll go and grab some ice from the other room. Minseok, could you stay with him in here for a bit while I do so?" She asks and I nodded meaning sure.
While she left the room I led Luhan to a bed where he laid down and I sat down on a chair next to it. "Give me your phone" Luhan says, holding out his hand.
