All Strings Attached

Chapter 27

'I am coming with you' Saint followed him, making Win stop in his track

'No' Win said 'It is not safe'

'Yes alright then let's not go and instead talk to P'Type' Saint suggested

'Not at all' Win strictly refused 'P'Type won't be involved in it. I can't cause him more trouble'

Saint was about to say something when Win cut him off 'Look I am going and get everything settled'

Unwantedly, Saint nodded and accompanied him. They took the taxi to the neighboring town and stopped right outside the dreary garage. Win took a deep breath and held the strap of his bag tightly. 

Right when he was about to walk ahead, Saint tugged on his sleeves. Win turned to look back at Saint 

'Lets not go inside' 

Win shook his head and walked forward, saying 'I didn't pay 120 baht for the taxi to be a coward'

Saint sighed and followed him, muttering ' I paid for the taxi though'

When they entered, they saw few guys lazying around. Some of them were smoking while others were barely working. As soon as Win stepped in through the shelter, everyone looked at him. 

Nervous, Win glanced around. His heart racing in fear but luckily he couldn't find the person he came to meet with. In his heart, he wished for Gun to be not present in the garage today.

'Hey. what are you doing here kid?' One of the guys yelled, grabbing Win's attention. Before Win could reply, he saw a man who was bowed down to work inside a car's bonnet to stand up straight. As soon as he looked at Win, a smirk appeared on his lips.

Every hair on Win's body stood up, encountering that smile.

'Well well well' Gun said with a smile, picking up the nearby cloth to wipe his hands 'If it ain't our little friend'

The more Gun walked towards Win, the more he felt the urge to run out of that garage right at that moment but for the sake of 120 baht taxi fair, he kept standing there. Gun came closer and raised his arm making Win flinch.

'Why are you scared?' Gun asked as he wrapped his arm around Win's neck 'Do you think I am going to hurt you? Little buddy?' He smiled and dragged Win with him to walk further inside. 

Win stumbled on his way and grabbed his bag tighter, scared. Gun grabbed him by his arm and almost threw him on the chair.

'Have a seat' He said with a smile. Unlike his actions, his words were really polite and sarcastic. Win studied himself on the chair with great difficulty and looked up like a lost puppy. 

'Someone get some water for our guest here Come on you people where are your manners!' Gun yelled loudly, he sounded very pleased. Win gulped and helplessly looked at Gun who grabbed the water bottle from the nearby guy and opened the lid. 

Calmly he poured the water into the glass and turned around towards Win. 

'Here' He said with a smile. Win stared at the glass before looking at Gun through under his eyelashes. 

'Take it!' Gun raised his voice, making Win shiver. He immediately extended his shaky hands but instead of handing him the glass, Gun threw water at his face.

Everyone in the room gasped, including Saint who took a step forward but bit his tongue instead of saying something. Win immediately stood up in shock and wiped his face with his hands when Gun pushed him back on the chair harshly.
