Chess Piece [On-Hold]

I'm Sorry

Gukgai's POV

Come on, Gukgai. You can do it. You have to ask for his forgiveness. You have to say sorry for what you had done, and you have to warn him about the danger lurking around him.

Gukgai, this is your last chance to do the right thing before you leave this school. Be brave!

I take a few deep breaths, to calm down my erratic nerves before moving towards the person of my today's agenda.

"Wayo Panitchayasawad, can...can I talk to you... for a second...?" I say politely with the fear of being rejected.

He stares at me in silence for one or... probably two minutes, but to me, it seems like hours, before saying, "Sure."

I pull out a chair across him and sit down, facing him. I lean forward and keep my voice as low as I can, "Wayo Panitchayasawad, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about all those nasty words that I had said to you and about the rumours. I'm leaving this school soon. I want to apologise and seek for your forgiveness before I leave. I'm sorry... I...I didn't... I didn't really mean to insult you... at that time. Trust me... It's...it's not my real intention. I'm truly sorry. Can you forgive me? Forgive me for the things I had done?"

He looks at me with suspicious and disbelief in his eyes. I don't blame him for being sceptical of what I said. I will have the same reaction if I was him.

Who will believe the girl who had mocked him, insulted him and spread awful rumours about him?! Even though those are not my real intentions, but he doesn't know. All he knows is, I'm the one who had done those nasty things to him and his brother's boyfriend.

Whether he believes me or not, I need to let him knows that someone is going to harm him. Someone very dangerous is planning to bring harm to him and those around him.

"Ok, I forgive you." A voice snaps me out from my thoughts.

"What?! I beg your pardon! What did you just say?!" I ask anxiously.

"I say, I forgive you. You have apologised, and I know you didn't mean to hurt me. You were just blinded by jealousy. Honestly, I was very angry with you at that time, especially after those awful rumours, but come to think, I need to apologise to you too. I'm not being polite or kind to you back then. I'm sorry, sorry for being rude to you." He says in a calm tone.

I'm stunned. I never expected that he will forgive me so easily. I expected nasty, awful and angry words from him. I...I never thought that he will... forgive me... let alone, apologies to me...

Am...am I dreaming...? Can...can anyone in this world... be so kind and forgiving...like him...? He...he is like... an angel... kind and beautiful...

Grateful tears escaping my eyes and roll down silently.

"Hey! Why are you crying?! Did I say something wrong? Please don't cry. Shush...  Please don't cry. People will think that I'm bullying you. Please... I don't want to go home with bruises and a torn shirt, or worse, end up in a hospital because of your tears." He says while handing me tissue to wipe my tears.

After hearing what he said, I burst into laughter with tears still swimming in my eyes. I see him heave a sigh of relief when he saw me laughing.

He is cute, kind-hearted and caring. He suits King perfectly. Hope he can be the one for King.

"Thank you, thank you so much for forgiving me. You are so kind. I don't want to see you get hurt." I take his hand and cover it with both of my hands.

"P, you mentioned you are leaving this school soon. But why? Why you are leaving? Are you in some kind of trouble? Is there anything I can do to help? You know, even though we are not friends, but you can talk to me about anything and everything. I will try my best to help you."
