My Missing Piece (Theory of Love) (KhaiThird/OffGun)

Chapter 19

    "What's taking Third so long? Did he ditch us or something?" Bone joked. Khai bit at his lip anxiously. He was trying not to over worry and act like an over-protective boyfriend, but it seemed to be much too long of a phone call. Khai knew that Third was an adult, but he couldn't help being worried knowing that Third was alone in this atmosphere and had not yet returned.

    "I'm going to go check on him."

    "You're so whipped for your man" Two teased.

    Khai rolled his eyes, deciding to ignore his friends making kissing sounds as he went to find Third. The closer he got to the club's exit, the more he felt a sense of foreboding. Khai could have sworn he stopped breathing for a moment when he laid his eyes on Third's small figure on the ground surrounded by five guys, one of which he recognized as Danny. "What the hell are you doing?!" Khai yelled as he grabbed Danny who was about to land a punch on Third's face. As Khai got closer, he realized that Third appeared to be passed out, covered in blood and what seemed to be bruises beginning to form.

    "Damn..." Danny laughed coldly, "I have to admit you came sooner than I anticipated."

    "Get the fuck off him!" Khai let go of Danny to push the four guys out of the way. "Third? Third? Are you okay?" Khai's voice was full of anxiety as he lightly tapped Third's shoulder and checked to make sure there wasn't any life-threatening injuries.

    "K-Khai?" Third opened his eyes in a daze, tears immediately pouring down his face as Khai carefully sat him up.

    "I'm here, it's okay" Khai said gently as he rubbed his back. "Stay here okay?"

    "How touching" Danny cooed.

    Khai turned to look at Danny again and stood up to grab him by the collar, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

    "If only he was well-behaved, this wouldn't have happened...fuck" Danny wiped at his lip when Khai landed a punch on his face.

    "Well-behaved? What kind of shit are you spouting? He's not a fucking dog."

    "Why do you care so much, huh? You're a homo too, aren't you" Danny laughed, "You think he's yours? If my bitch doesn't behave, he needs to be punished, you know?"

    "Don't fucking talk about him like that" Khai grit his teeth as he landed another punch on Danny's face.

    "Shit" Danny let out another laugh as he fell to the ground, "You're quite brave, aren't you? It's five against one. You think you can beat all of us?" Danny asked as one of his friends pulled Khai off of him.

    "You think you're all tough don't you?" Khai glared at the group as he pushed the guy off of him, "Is he your boss or what? Does it make you feel good to pick on someone half your size?"

    "Not intimidated? Take us all down then. I'd love to see you try" a friend of Danny's jeered.

    "No! K-Khai don't do anything. Just run! P-please!" Third sobbed.

    "Shh, I'll be okay baby. Close your eyes and take deep breaths for me okay?"

    "You two making out or wha-" Bone stopped in his tracks at the scene in front of him.

    "What the hell is going on here?" Two asked.

    "Oh I just knew you were damn trouble" Bone said as he and Two went by Khai's side.

    "Three against five? I'm so scared" Danny smiled.

    "Make that four."

    Khai turned his head in surprise at the unfamiliar voice. The man seemed to be around their age and was quite handsome with his tanned skin and dark features. He still wasn't able to recognize the guy so he supposed he was just a kind stranger. Khai wasn't about to turn down the help.
