Dirty Girl

Chapter 16

Farm was released from the hospital, and even Prae was there. She couldn't stop the tears that leaked from her eyes. Prae asked if she could speak with him alone and Farm shooed them all away. He had realized that he had a massive crush on his cute doctor.

Prae sat down beside him, being careful not to jostle him. She tapped the leg cast and sighed. "This is my fault. I'm so sorry. If I hadn't done what that bitch wanted, you'd never would have gotten hurt."

"It's okay, Prae." Farm sighed. "I'm sorry too, I should have never agreed to go out with you. That was wrong of me."

Prae nodded. "You were nice to me because you're gay, right? Like Korn and Knock? Were you afraid to tell your crush?"

Farm laughed, whole heartedly. Prae stared. Like this Farm wasn't cute, but handsome. "No, you've got it wrong. Actually, maybe I should thank you instead. Because of you, I know I'm gay."

"I don't understand."

"I couldn't understand why it felt funny when you touched me, Prae. I never wanted to kiss you. Just before I had the accident, I was asking Korn and he said to me, 'go kiss a guy, then you'll know if you're gay.'" Farm took Prae's hand. "I think you'll always be a good friend, but I don't want to do this with you, or kiss you.' He mind wandered and Dr. Bright was what he saw. "I know who I WANT to kiss."

Prae began to laugh and Farm joined in. The laughter drew the others back to the room and Knock asked, "What's so funny?"

Prae, laughter still evident, "How did you know you wanted to kiss Korn?"

Knock, blushing, "My heart raced and I couldn't stop blushing around him."

Phu glanced down at the floor. That's exactly how I feel about his sister, but I'm not getting anywhere. Yihwa noticed, and with a twinkle in her eye, "Let's play a game. To celebrate Farm's return home!" She pulled out a black marker and put it on the low table and spun it. It pointed to Farm.

"Farm," She giggled, "is there anyone right now, does not have to be in this room, that makes your heart race?"

Farm felt his face flame. Damn that woman. They all laughed. He sighed and nodded. Yihwa picked up the marker and tossed it to him. "Spin." She demanded.

He spun it on his cast and the marker pointed to Knock. Yihwa sighed. "I saw them kiss this morning. That's a no brainer!." Farm tossed the marker to Knock.

Knock bent and spun it on the low table and it stopped and pointed to Fai. Fai shrugged and nodded. Yihwa's eyes went wide. "You have a crush!" She yelled. "YOU HAVE A CRUSH!" She stood up and grabbed Fai by the shoulders and shook her like a doll. "How come I don't know?"

Fai, her teeth rattling, "I don't have to tell you." She shook free of Yihwa's grasp and grabbed the marker and spun. It landed on Yihwa herself.

Yihwa sighed and said, "No. I'm sad, I haven't met anyone who makes my heart beat fast. Phu, it's your turn to answer."

Phu gave a small smile and said, "Of course."

"Ugh, I shouldn't have started this..." Yihwa sighed.

Prae sighed. "I guess I'm still not part of the gang. You didn't want to find out if I have a crush or not." She stood, sadly. "I guess it's time for me to go. I'll see you on the weekend."

Yihwa jumped up and hugged Prae. "I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. I got caught up in the moment." She bent her head close to Prae's ear. "I know you still like Farm. Do you really want to admit you still have a real crush on him here and now? I only wanted to know if Farm and Fai liked actual people."

Prae's mouth dropped open. How did Yihwa know that she really did have feelings for Farm?

Fai threw a pillow at Yihwa. "No whispering allowed!"

Prae's face went red and she glanced at Yihwa, pleading. Yihwa winked and diverted them. Farm's welcome home party was a huge success. 

Korn met with Farm and Phu, later after everyone else was gone. He was definitely feeling low. It had only been the first full day of the pretend split and people were evenly divided on their own views. It was tiring having strangers come up and either give words of encouragement or hate, depending on which camp they were in.

Not one person asked him for the truth. They figured that damn website told them the truth when it was all fucking lies.

Korn had brought beer. He tossed one to Phu and looked at Farm. Farm shook his head no, "I'm still on some pretty heavy pain medication. No booze."

Korn nodded and sat down. "You know, people are fucked in the head. I'm so damn tired of this already and we've still got almost a week of it."

Farm handed him his phone with his Facebook page open. "You're telling me. Look at this." There were over two thousand messages! "Damn, Korn, you sure are popular! Most of those are saying I should die for being a relationship wrecker."

His face took on a twisted look. "The rest are asking me how much I cost, like I'm a fucking whore."

Korn and Phu stared at him. Korn smiled, "So an accident is what it took to teach you how to swear, huh?"

He shook his head, "No, being told I sold my ass to you!" Farm sighed. "I don't even have an ass. Knock's is much nicer."

Korn lightly tapped Farm's head. "Stop looking at my boyfriend's ass. But you're right, it is a nice ass." His eyes twinkled. They liked this new, improved saucy Farm.

Korn was curious, so he asked. "Did you kiss a boy in that hospital bed?"

Farm blushed and shook his head. "No, not exactly. But remember how you told me to watch out for a rise?"

Korn nodded, fascinated that something so common could still make Farm blush. Just how innocent was he?

"I had big troubles every time my doctor came around. I'm sure he noticed. It's not like you still have morning wood 4 hours after you wake up."

Farm's voice seemed to float through Korn's mind. "Are you talking about Dr. Bright?" He finally managed to dredge the name up from his memory.

"Yes, and he's cute. When Knock came twice to see me, he made sure to spend even more time with me. Do you think they know each other?" The beer can crushed in Korn's grasp as Farm talked.
