Together With Me (Thai Novel Fan Translation)

Chapter 31A

Losing control of myself had led to an unforgivable outcome. Knock's pained, tear stained face haunted me and made me afraid to sleep. Even still, I clung tightly to his sleeping frame all night.

"What's up?" I spoke tonelessly into the phone's receiver.

"I wasn't sure who I should call first, so I called you. What the hell happened? Did you guys talk everything through properly or did you have another fight?"

Yiwha's worry was palpable; she hadn't wanted us to fight over this. She had intended only for me to take Knock back, and settle this amicably, if at all possible.

But damn, instead I had seriously crossed the line  this time.

"It's all good now, no worries." I replied briefly, deliberately withholding any details.

"Don't try to force him, he's just as stubborn as you are. He wouldn't go along with it if you try just try to steamroll over his feelings with yours.

"I wish you'd reminded me of that last night."

"Damn it Korn, what the hell did you do?! Did you commit domestic violence?! You beat him up, didn't you! That's unacceptable!" Yiwha yelled angrily into the phone.

"I gave him an orgasm."

"Korn, you're so cruel! Couldn't you think of any other way to settle the problem?" Yiwha scolded, her normally sweet voice harsh with anger.

"I really wasn't thinking straight at that point!"

"Shit! Is Knock okay?"

"He's asleep right now, do you wanna to come over?"

"Fuck, you took your anger out on his body."

"He was at fault." I replied defensively, knowing ever as I said it that I was in the wrong.

"So you came to an agreement? Or did you fuck everything up by crossing the line?"

"He's feverish." I said gruffly, getting up from the couch and padding silently to the bedroom door, where Knock had curled up on my bed, barely visible from under my comforter.

His expression was pained even in his sleep, and I felt a deep pang of guilt. I caressed his forehead, wiping away a few beads of sweat.

"He's really warm."

"Did you take him to the doctor?" Yiwha asked me, with barely controlled fury. Yiwha was blaming me because I'd lost my temper again.

"Not yet. I tried to get him to go, but he refused. He only wanted to pick up some medicine from the pharmacy and go back home."

"And you let him do that?" I could hear her incredulous tone clearly. She was really making me feel like an idiot.

"I didn't wanna force him anymore, we had only just reconciled." I sighed, feeling helpless.

"Korn, you can't just let him be. You need to do what's the best for his health under these circumstances, even if he's being stubborn! What if his temperature spikes and he goes into a coma?"

"Tell me what I should do, then?" I asked with a defeated tone.

"Take him to the hospital! Or were you hoping to heal him with only the power of prayer? Jackass."

"Okay, you've made your point. I'll wake him up and take him to the hospital, okay?"

"Good, do it now. Bye!"

I obediently followed Yiwha's instructions after she was done scolding me. There was no way I would dare defy her now; my ears were still burning from the intensity of her scolding although I had to admit, if only to myself, that I deserved all of it.
