My body crawled out from the water after the impact of the fall. My arms were burning in sensation, but I pay no mind to it as I went to search for Kenneth. He was out of my sight, and I was starting to worry if Origin got to him.

I stand up to my feet to search for the boy. My feelings for the young man has been quite showing lately. From the way I kissed him, the way I almost accidentally called him 'love', the way I tease and flirt with him. If he was so oblivious to it, then he might think that all of it as a joke. But knowing him, I think he was smart enough to know that I was hiding my feelings towards him. This whole journey here has been dangerous, risky and highly unexpected of what the circumstances would be but it was adventurous, to say the least. Plus, for what it would be, it was for a greater good.

Walking at the edge of the river, my eyes spotted his body laying down on the ground, unconscious. The water must have got into him. I ran towards him, dragging him away from the water. My hands went up to his chest, executing a CPR onto the boy. What bothered me the most was that I could see his naked skin underneath the garment he was wearing. His state was bothering my mind and I struggle to just focus myself to get him to wake up.

"Come on... Kenneth.," I muttered to myself as I continue to put pressure on his chest. I was starting to get worried when he was not responding at all but after a while of putting pressure, I saw his fingers move. His face scrunched up like he was having a bad nightmare. 

With a sudden jolt, his eyes open, and he went up to throw up the excess water that went into his system. My hands went to rub his back, trying to ease him a little. 

"There, take deep breaths," I instructed him. His eyes went to look onto his fingers. There were filled with wrinkled lines, showing how long he has been in the cold water. I should have got to him earlier. But even so, I was glad that he was alright now. My eyes just looked at him as he closes his eyes, trying to remember something and getting rid of it from his thoughts. My brows furrowed at his state, he was agitated by something.

I hold one arm on his shoulder. "Are you alright? You seem to be unsettled," I ask as I went to kneel myself in front of him, looking at his features clearer. Those beautifully emotional eyes look up towards me. It dazes me so much. 

"Yes...," He spoke slowly. We began to stand ourselves up. I helped him stand up as I take his arm, putting it over my shoulder. Our wet clothes touch each other, and I could not help but feel his naked body against mine. The touch was warm and it gave me a tight feeling in my heart to not just feel him right there. Out of all the moment we share, this was not the time to feel horny about someone who just wakes up from possible drowning.

I sighed, looking ahead as we tried to find our way back to where we arrived. We almost got killed earlier on in the ruin, but somehow, we were lucky enough to not have any shots on our body. Even when I had my training in that specific field, the possibilities of getting shot even at some minor body parts is very high. They even had mini machine-guns.
