Blood Dept: Trail Of Corpses

Chapter 16: Packing up

Contains Korean, If you wish open up Google translate. There are hints of what they said after the Korean for most of them.

That was the only thought missing. 'it was all going to be okay I constantly reminded myself of this thought throughout this time of panic.
"Leave me alone...and go pack your stuff," I said not giving eye contact to her as she got up with a sigh taking her stuff and Soras outside knowing she was a complete train wreck when it came to emotional support and if anything always made it worse.
But Tsukis stuff was still in here, I lifted my head to look at it before my head hung down limply once more.

I had to get up, but what was the point? So many points could be made so why didn't I get up? I was telling myself constantly and at this point chanting it in my head, 'get up' but I tired myself out emotionally. My body needed a break.

My eyes were probably red with tears, bloodshot with stress, and droopy with fear. A knock at the window turned me around. It was the tall man, his crooked lip crept a smile onto his face. He stuck a note onto the window.

"Sep. 10." It said as he walked away into the foliage. I sighed softly finally getting up as I wiped away my tears from the floor with some tissues that were on the nightstand.
I sat on my bed starring at the window. Tsuki finally came in, I could tell his eyes were on me,
"도와 줄게 제발." he was speaking to me in a different language, he only did this when he wanted to be private knowing that Amber only understood Jamaican patois and English while Sora only understood English, It took me a long time for me to understand and speak Korean as a Japanese man. He seemed to be asking for some help maybe not knowing that I needed it the most.

"Tsuki...help me raise this money, It will make me happy. It will help me." I answered and he laid on his belly across the bed, his muscles showed through his sweater. "죽고 싶지 않아.." I added making him look up at me concerned once more, the fact that I mentioned death. For once I looked back willingly, he could see through me a little bit too well.
"당신은 죽지 않을 것입니다 Ken." He assured me before he leaned up against me a little. Was he not going to let me die? If I was him I would. Was this not enough to scare him away? I knew he knew if I told him I didn't want to die that this journey was likely going to be deadly yet he stuck with me.
"Thank you," I said and he gave a small smile at me as he saw my face light up a bit with hope.

Everything was going to be okay.

"Are you packed up?" He said getting up with a small groan his voice chirping like a happy bird, I couldn't help but smirk back at him, the emotional strength he had to have to withstand such torture and prevail was beyond me.
"Yeah," I answered looking back at the door, I wasn't exactly all the way relaxed but it was better than feeling like I was being squeezed like a stress ball.
"내게 오는 것을 두려워 하지마," Tsuki said as he put random stuff into his book bag.

I didn't want to bother him if I went to him every time I needed him as he said I would be a leech. That was why I was afraid to do so and I kept myself stuck in my cancerous cycle that had already taken its course twice.
"I, can't do that," I said with my hands together whilst slouched over starring at the note on the window, Tsuki hasn't seemed to have noticed it yet.
"Why..?" He said looking back at me worryingly, it was evident he was lowering down to more of a best friend figure instead of a dad one as I never told my parents a lot of my struggles as I have him, he seemed to be the peacekeeper this whole trip.

"신뢰 문제가 있습니다..." I said.
Trust issues were the vein of my existence, they made everything harder after the experiences I've had in the workplace with strangers but at least I could sync with Sora in this manner, I'm sure jail was a rough place with many wrong people to trust.

"You can trust me, Ken, we've known each other for at least 10 years...you know how I am," Tsuki said getting up and sitting back beside me, I swore we only knew each other for 8, how time flies by. I heard Amber and Sora chatting in the other room, the only reason we were talking English again was because we both knew Sora wasn't possibly listening anymore but they have probably had been waiting for us for at least more than ten minutes.
"I know, but what if something happens-" I tried to say before his hands were cupping my face, it silenced me, my eyes instantly looked away from him.
"Look at me." He said as his index finger and middle finger was around my ears as if he was trying to deafen my hearing so I could only hear him but it muffled him as well. Even so, he was way too close for me to not hear him.
I knew what would happen if I looked at him in this situation, I didn't know if I wanted it to happen.

My heart started to race, but unlike a panic attack it wasn't uncomfortable but it was adrenaline-rushing, to say the least.
It's funny to think about now, this moment still affects me the same today.
"Dork," I growled under my breath finally looking at him, what I predicted happened, my face became a tomato it surprised him, his pupils became larger like a cat.

"You're warm," he stated before trying to erase their statement when I tried to pull away a bit out of embarrassment.
"I am here for you if I have to go to the hospital because of you. I will forgive you." He said still keeping me in his grip, it was unforgiving but so gentle at the same time. I never called myself a stubborn person back then but at that time I wasn't comfortable with all the realizations I was gaining at once at this moment.

I found myself reaching up for his arms to hold them until Tsuki let go of me and looked at the door. It was Sora being impatient.
"What are you guys doin?" She said as I turned around acting like I was still angry and sad at the same time.
"Talking." He said getting up and grabbing his bag and mines, I got up after Sora left the door ajar. Did that girl have to ruin everything?
