Henrick’s Pov"Oh God... it hurts so much doctor." I squinted my eyes towards the old looking man sitting across from my good-for-nothing friend. He was called doctor Seb or Doc Sebastian Walsh? Something like that. When we asked Oli if he wanted to be taken to the hospital, he refused and wanted to be tended here instead. So we called a doctor, and this bastard specifically asked for this old man. I was putting an ice pack for Irvin’s hip while periodically peeking at my friend’s actions. He said he was hurt, but his face looked otherwise and it annoyed me seriously. "You're doing fine, Oli. It's just a little bruise. I'll give you some painkillers and topical ointment and you're good to go." The good-looking doctor said coldly. His tone might be soft and caring, but his facial expressions were too stiff and indifferent. "Don't I need an X-ray? Or maybe some blood tests? I think I'm still a little sick doctor." Oliver pushed himself up from the sofa, and drew his face closer to t
Irvin’s POVI sat with my phone while playing games like crazy after passing a rigorous exam all day, damn it! The questions on the test paper today were something I have never met before. Hey! Did we study a lesson like that? Damn, I couldn't remember anything. My brain has gone as empty as a space, it was filled with nothing. The more I searched for answers, the more I couldn't find them. I wanted to sleep instead! Fuck! What I got back was a radiant looking skin because I have slept all too well, it helps a lot with drinking eight glasses of water a day that adds moisture to my skin. How preposterous! "Done with your exams already?" Henrick’s voice didn't draw my attention away from the screen. I nodded at him and continued playing the game. For about ten minutes now, I have been sitting here under the VIP building benches and waiting for him. Henrick and his friends gathered around the table. He then sat beside me. "Ugh." I flicked my face away from Henrick, who gently rubbed h
Irvin's POV"P-please... don't hurt us..."My eyes widened as I watched the scene in front of me. I gave Moe a glance, but he was too preoccupied with the terrified lady. "Auntie, we're not here to hurt you." I muttered, before lending my hands towards the old lady, beckoning her to get up. "Tri’s not here today. So, I came instead." Moe said. "Y-you're... not here to hurt us?" she said in a trembling voice. "Yes." Moe said with indifferent expression, before eventually softening his voice, "How are you?" "You promise?" "Yes... Tri asked me to buy this too," Moe took the pills out of his pocket and gave them to the auntie. The expression on the woman's face eventually mellowed as she started to trust Moe. "Why didn't Tri come today?" Auntie grabbed her own clothes and wiped tears off her face. "He's busy... Can we see him now?" Moe shortly said. The lady was speechless for a moment before letting out a deep sigh. She slowly opened the door to the room and eventually beckone
"What about Moe?" I asked, staring at him dead in the eye. "How would I know when you never told me anything?" I emphasized every word clearly as I stated my displeasure towards him. I tried to raise my head to look at him but the falling tears made my vision blurry. "You want to know? You really want to know, right?" Henrick stalked towards me like a predator to its prey as he stood in front of me. His eyes blazing in fury. "Tell me!!" I yelled equally loud. I tried to suppress my growing anxiousness. This version of Henrick is what I fear the most. The seething with madness version. I want him to speak up, to say it to my face no matter how much the truth hurts me. But I surrendered. I surrendered to Henrick. "I didn't tell you because I'm worried about your feelings, Vin. I don't know if you could bear it or not. I don't know if this will bring back the pain...But you won't listen to me even when I warned you. Now, I will tell you the truth. Moe is the guy who poisoned you at th
Irvin’s POV “Hey! Tristan wake up.” I shake him from his bed. It is already seven-fifteen in the morning and he is still on his bed when I checked his room. I met Tristan before I enrolled into college. It was entrance exam day when I bumped into him. I couldn’t remember the whole details but we became friends. Get even more comfortable with each other when he offered me free accommodation in exchange for cooked meals. He’s not a big fan of fast food nor likes the price that any restaurant offers, that’s why when I mentioned that I live alone and cooking is one of the chores that I am good at, he immediately proposed this idea. “Yeah.” He groaned. He was waving his hand at me to go away but I didn’t. I know he will skip his class again just to sleep longer. “The breakfast is ready. Wake u-“ He immediately pulled me closer to him and hugged me tightly like a teddy bear. “Tristan, you’ll crumple my uniform.” I whine. But he just cuddled me. “Just five minutes.” He pleaded. He is a
Irvin’s POV Classes are over so I decided to buy some ingredients. I am planning to cook something special for Tristan for saving me yesterday. I went to the meat section when I spotted the three guys that try to rape me yesterday. “So what’s the plan now?” One of the minions asked their leader. Out of curiosity, I lean even closer to listen to whatever conversation they are having. “Tristan said let’s just wait for his signal. We can’t just attack his guy. He will kill us.” The leader said in a serious tone. I couldn't move from my place after I heard Tristan’s name. Maybe it’s a different person. Tristan isn’t a rare name after all. “When will the boss do his first base? We’ve been waiting for three years.” The other minions whine as they go to the cashier and pay. Three years? That’s how long I have known Tristan. Are they really talking about my friend Tristan? That can’t be true! With my legs shaking and mind still confused I walked out from the grocery and decided to buy
Irvin’s POV I don’t know where to go. I can’t stay at the apartment with that pervert. With my wounds and bruises I got a chance to spend the night at the health center for free. And staying there for the second night is kind of embarrassing.This is the first time that I stayed in school after class. Since I have nowhere to go I decided to sit on one of the school bench and think over the situation. To sum it up I have an initiation to prepare to though I don’t know what exactly happens during VIP’s initiation. I once watched a movie that they do some initiation rites. The guy being blind folded and hit by what they call paddle many times. With this body, can I survive it?I turned pale just thinking about what I am going to get through in the near future. But then this is for my safety anyway. If I pass that I won’t be bullied ever again. I can have peace of mind. But for now, the real problem is where I am going to stay since the apartment that I used to stay in is not part of the
Irvin’s POV I took a deep sigh. I’m alone in Henrick's room while he was out for a while to answer the call he got a minute ago. I fell asleep earlier but eventually woke up when I heard a big smash and found out that he broke one of his bed lights. Why am I being surrounded by danger? “You’re spacing out again.” I turned and saw him leaning on the door frame.“S-Sorry.” I looked down in embarrassment. “Is everything alright?” He asked and joined me on the terrace. “You can tell me.” “I’m fine.” Obviously it’s a lie. But I don’t fully trust him yet. And I doubt I will trust anyone again. Especially a guy. “Alright then. I want to show you something’.” He chuckled. “Don’t worry. It’s not pretty, hot ladies. Come on.”Henrick grabbed my wrist and dragged me out the room. We went to the next door beside him. He even gave me a mischievous smile before opening the door that creeped me out. It was another room. Unlike his, it was themed in pink and white color. The ambiance has the com
