92 Green Gate (2/2)

”My apartment is only a few minutes walk away from here. It's closer if we go through that gate.” He said as he pointed to a small green gate almost hidden by weeds and bushes. A few trees is also blocking it, making it unnoticed by passerbys.

”It's just a few minutes away if we are both able and healthy but with your situation right now, that few minutes will certainly change into an hour. My back would have already broke by the time we arrived there.” I said to him as a matter of fact.

”Just take me there instead of the hospital. I also need to change my clothes anyway.” He continued as he lean closer to me. Not listening one bit to my sound and logical explanation.

Ugh, what should I do? It is true that many people will slander me if they find out about me pushing Neo into the water. Even though I have a very good reason to do so, the society will only listen to the more juicy and interesting gossip rather than the truth.

I internally sighed and finally decided, ”Once we get there, call your family doctor immediately. I don't want this as an excuse for you to hunt me in the future.” I said to him as we staggeringly walk towards the gate. Good thing he is only a head taller than me. If I have been shorter then I would have ended up dragging his body instead, though that is also not a bad idea. *evil laugh*

”Are you wishing for me to die? I wouldn't need an excuse to hunt you if I did.” Neo said.

”You are too talkative for someone who is sick. The most demanding patient I've ever met.” I said to him as I pulled open the gate. We almost stumbled down because of his weight.

Fadjie Bar! If I've known, I would have been a more dilegent student and didn't skip classes! I scolded myself a hundred times inside my head as we unsteadily walk our way through a winding road. I'm surprised to know that such a gate exist in the school. Once you exit using this gate, you can immediately see an alleyway directed towards the busy street. Neo feebly directed me where we should go and within a couple of minutes of agony he finally said ”we're here” in a exhausted and weak tone of voice. We only went through the alley way so I am sure that no one saw us stumbling about on our way here.

With his right hand over my shoulders and my left hand snaked around his waist for support we finally were able to reach our destination. Seriously, I would have never imagined that one day I will be in such an embarrassingly intimate situation with the devil. If only Mr. Shin is allowed to enter the school premises aside from the parking area then I had already called for his help ages ago.

Sweat is now running down my face and back. I can also see sweat sliding down that pale white of his. His semi dry shirt is now soaking wet again due to his sweat.

I really don't like being in this close proximity with him but the situation dictates otherwise. The thing that I am more doubtful about is the house in front of us.

”Hey, Neo. Didn't you say that were going to your apartment?” I asked him.

”Hmmm.” Neo answered groggily.

”Then why does this look like a two storey luxurious house to me?” I said to him as I eye the house in front.

”It's smaller than our house so I call it my apartment.” Neo said nonchalantly.
