Arc 1.8
'whitewashing the egoistic youth'
"Agck! Fuck!" Wen Shu cussed when the car swayed to into a S line on the wide road. Just now because he accelerated too fast, when he tried to avoid the truck coming from on their way, now the car got out of control.
"Kyaaaah!" Chi Nong screeched as her body moved with the car's movement.
[ Stabilizing foreign object. . . . Ding! Object foreign object stabilized ]
After the notification on the screen. The car's speeding slowed down until it reaches on the average kilometre per second.
The two inside the car heaved a deep breath slowly relaxing their tensed body. Assured that the system is controlling the car. Wen Shu leaned on the car seat and turned his head to the back. He saw Chi Nong with whirlwind hair and was rubbing her temple trying to ease the dizziness from the event earlier.
"Are you okay?" Wen Shu asked. Chi Nong nodded in response and laid down on the seat.
"Can-can we go to the hospital first?" She suggested with her brows furrowed.
"En, sure thing. Safety first" Wen Shu agreed and let the system drive them to the nearest hospital which is 2 kilometers away from them.
Not a few minutes later, a tall whit building came into view with a huge green cross logo on top of it.
When the car parked in front of the hospital, Wen Shu grabbed Chi Nong's elbow and supported her when they entered the hospital. The scent of air conditioner and medicine wafted into the air and the cold breeze enveloped them.
He ignored some of the people that was gazing and pointing at them and continued in front of the desk. Wen Shu explained everything that happened to the nurse behind the desk and asked them for check ups.
Since Chi Nong's condition is slight worse than him, he accompanied her during her Checkups.
He was seated on a stool beside her as he stared while the doctor was checking her body's condition.
When the doctor confirmed that Chi Nong's condition was good he let out a breath of relief.
"I'm really sorry, it's because of me that you're hurt" guilt gripped his heart as he stared at the weakened body of Chi Nong. The image of his big sister in his original world lying on the bed sick overlapped with Chi Nong right now, amplifying his guilt ten times.
Chi Nong smiled at him "don't worry, I know you're sincere and I'm sure you want to turn over into a new leaf. I'll support you. More importantly you should go and let the doctors check you up. I'm just gonna rest for a while"
Wen Shu nodded and quietly closed the door when he left, so as to not disturb her sleep.
[ Ding! Villains current reputation: 70! ]
The nurses acted swiftly and lead them in two separate rooms. When He took a seat on the hospital bed, he was stunned when he saw a red stain on his shirt. He reached out and touched his head.
Wen Shu hissed when a sudden sting erupted on his skin. He retrieved his hand and tried to find a mirror. On the bedside table he grabbed a piece of circle mirror and stared in fron.
His pale face was bruised on the cheeks, and red liquid dripping from his forehead slowly sliding down to his slender eyebrows, to his narrowed phoenix eyes, to his jaw and down to his chin, dripping to his clothes.
The doctor attending him skillfully cleaned his bloodstained face and disinfect the wound before bandaging his forehead.
"Luckily it was just a mild wound and it didn't reach your skull, you will experience dizziness in the span of 5 hours but after that everything will be fine. Also I'll prescribe you some ointment for your bruises" the doctor said while cleaning the equipment used and stood up.
"Yes. Thank you doctor" he leaned on the pillow in a sitting position. When the doctor closed the door. Leaving Wen Su inside a silent room alone, His eyelids dropped with his eyes misty. He was very tired, he can feel it, his mind breaking.
Ever since he transmigrated he thought that he can do it for sure, just like the things mentioned in the transmigration novels he read before, he keep believing that everything was fine, that he can return soon.
Argh, he's having a breakdown right now, seriously?! His body is too tired, not to mention his mental condition. Even his emotional state is in turmoil.
Can he do this? Can he really go back home?
The system was helpless feeling his own hosts mood. It's not a stranger in this type of scenarios. It encountered many host having breakdown because of this matters. Some even committed suicide.
Ah what should it do? How could it comfort his own host? Why is it so worthless?
Wen Shu laid on the hospital bed tiredly. Painting big breaths. He couldn't help but let out a low chuckle.
Well isn't it nice? He just got discharged from the hospital a few days ago and now he's admitted to another one again. He can clearly feel his sore muscles tightening as it recieved to much stress.
'system buy me a healing pill'
[ Yes host ]
[ Ding! Health pill x1 acquired! 5 Omni points deducted! ]
With the same sweet taste entering his mouth, Wen Shu's stiff body relaxed as he can feel his sore and limp body returning to its peak state and the wound on his forehead not stinging anymore.
He closed his eyes and decided to sleep, but it wasn't even a minute when he could feel his collar being tugged roughly and his recovered body was shoved to the side.
His back was slammed on the wall as he let out a hiss because of the sudden pain.
[ Ding! Villains current reputation: 56! ]
When he opened his teary eyes, his amber eyes clashed with a pair of cold onyx ones with rage slightly brewing in it. His body shivered when he sense the murderous intent that was oozing out from the person in front of him.
He stared dumbly at the fuming person in front of him. Wait wait wait! Isn't this a bit familiar?! Didn't this happened when he and Yo Sun first met at the bun shop?!
Wait that's not important right now! Wen Shu shook his head trying to straighten his thoughts. He gathered up his littered courage and bravely meet the taller guys piercing gaze "You! What do you want?!"
"Hah! Acting innocent right now! Do you know what happened to Chi Nong right now? She's hurt because of you! Again!" Yo Sun shouted, his fist clenched turning his knuckles white. He raised his fist causing for Wen Shu's feet to dangle in the air.
Yo Sun was actually planning on visiting Wen Shu again with a plastic bag filled with meat buns. He was on the way to the other guys mansion when suddenly an unknown number texted him and told about Chi Nong getting admitted on the hospital with Wen Shu.
His mind was immediately filled with rage when he saw his best friend lying on a hospital bed with traces of bruise on her arms.
"I admit that it was my fault! But I'm now trying to turn things straight! I was there to save her and not to cause her any harm!" Wen Shu shouted back as he keep struggling in the man's tight grip. His back aches so much, not to mention his chest that is being pressed hard by the other guys fist.
'aigo system did you see that? Just because of Chi Nong my reputation dropped quite a lot. Hah. Love really is such a strong force'
[ . . . ]
The system didn't respond as it sweat dropped with it's hosts leisure act. How come that his host got the time to talk to it when he's facing the raged male lead right now.
"Turn things straight? How would I believe you?! As far as I know you only have bad intentions on her since you're so obsessed! You even dare stoop so low as to kidnap her!" Yo Sun argued while glaring daggers at the boys pale face in front of him.
"I wouldn't dare to force myself on her you asshole!" Wen Shu grabbed Yo Suns clenched fist trying to struggle out of the guys fist.
Yo Sun snorted when he heard Wen Shu's statement. Hah! do this guy take him as an idiot? As if he'd believe that. "Oh really? On what premise that you won't force her?"
"It's because. . . " Wen Shu's mind went blank. He really don't know if it's coincidence or not that his brain chose to stop functioning right at this moment.
Yo Sun's eyes narrowed dangerously when the boy in front of him stayed silent for a few seconds.
When Wen Shu saw this dangerous glare that Yo Sun is giving him while waiting for his answer. His mind quickly went into panic trying to come up with a reasonable reason.
"What now?" Yo Sun asked as he stared at the boy in front of him.
Wen Shu gritted his teeth as he bravely stared on the man in front of him "It's because I'm gay!"
Yo Sun ". . . "
The System [. . .]
Wen Shu who just admitted he's gay ". . ."
Silence fell over the room and not one noise sounded inside. It was so silent that you can even hear a drop of needle.
"Y-you! What kind of silly excuse is this!" Yo Sun stared at the boy in front of him with his face full of disbelief. Truth to be told he expected various reasons that the boy would give but he never expected this
Wen Shu's face was full of black lines. Believe me, I can't even believe myself that I said those damn reason just a while ago. He's straighter than a ruler but since he already spouted this bullshit as a reason, he have to just make do with it.
"Even if you believe it or not I don't care! You asked for a reason then that's my reason!" Wen Shu solemnly stood his ground as he stared at the bewildered face of Yo Sun.
"How?. . " Yo Sun still can't believe his ears. This egoistic youth admitting that he's gay. Simply unbelievable.
"Hmp! If you want explanation then I can explain it to you! It's true that I have been stalking Chi Nong this past few days. I thought that it was love but not long ago I discovered that I was only interested in her as a big sister. I was an only child so maybe I craved for someone to care for me. That's why when Chi Nong came, I mistook my feelings for her as love for the opposite gender. I just realized my sexuality a few weeks ago that's why I backed off pursuing her" he explained in one breath, after that he tried to keep his facial expression straight and sincere. But he's having a hard time on doin it.
I mean, imagine this. A straight as a ruler person explaining the reason to another guy that he's gay even if he's not. Wen Shu helplessly lead through gritted teeth since there's no backing out from this situation.
While on the recieving end Yo Sun's mind went blank. His emotions is in great turmoil right now and he didn't know what to feel with this given explanation. He loosened his grip to the other boy and he lowered him to the ground.
"How sure are you that you're homosexual?" Yo Sun asked with a probing gaze sent over to Wen Shu.
Wen Shu straightened clothes "everytime I act intimate with a girl I feel uncomfortable, no sometimes I feel disgusted"
Contrary to what Wen Shu said, in his mind Wen Shu is lamenting.
'ah why would I feel disgusted when intimate with a woman. It's definitely heaven for a single like me'
Yo Sun stayed silent as if contemplating in his mind. He heaved a deep sigh before gazing back at the boy in front of him "Look, sorry for misunderstanding you earlier. I vented out my anger suddenly"
Wen Shu waved his hand and went to the hospital bed. "Nah no problem, anyways it's my fault to start with. I'm a bastard back then so I can understand your feelings"
After he laid down on the bed, Wen Shu looked over Yo Sun who was standing silently on the side. He gazed at him questioningly.
"Y-you, how's the result of your check up?" Yo Sun coughed before asking.
"Besides some bruises and some wound in the forehead, nothing much happened to me" Wen Shu yawned after replying to the question. His vision started to blur due to fatigue and exhaustion that caused his drowsiness.
When Yo Sun saw Wen Shu's eyelids dropping his lips couldn't help but raise into a small smile.
"Sleep, I'll be guarding over you" Yo Sun assured the drowsy boy in front of him.
Wen Shu responded with a low hum before completely closing his eyes welcoming the darkness and slowly drifted into dream land.
Yo Sun stared with a profou gaze to the boy in front of him. Just now he could help but feel like knocking his head on the wall.
He totally misunderstood the little guy in front of him. All of them misunderstood him. Outside is a sassy, egoistic, proud and elegant young master, but inside is a soft, caring, and fragile kitten who just wants to be loved.
Yo Sun couldn't help but feel complicated. Inside his heart he could feel a burst of joy with the boys sudden coming out of the closet. And he couldn't help but feel helpless and lost realising that he have feelings for the boy.
