Chereads / I Won't Last a Day Without You / Chapter 4 - Kaios 101

Chapter 4 - Kaios 101

I heard a news that the patient on the other room already awake. Well, Nurse Mia said he's awake since last week where I'm held in this room where I couldn't go out because of my consequence. I'm cage in my room for two weeks and it's too hellish.

My two-week consequence already ended yesterday so I', free to roam around the hospital but with a limit. I can only go out of my room and roam around the hallway. I can't even step my foot inside of the elevator because once they caught me, I'm doomed again.

Dark skies can be seen from my open window. I stood up because tonight, I have a plan to trespass on his room to offer a friendship. I'm too bored for talking alone so I need a friend to talk with me. Besides, I want to greet him since I didn't do a proper greeting on his first day. Well, I can't even talk to him neither cause he's not awake before so I guess this is the perfect timing.

I put on the bonnet on my head and walked with my dextrose. I almost assume that this dextrose of mine is my boyfriend. Imagine, for almost a decade and two this dextrose is with me…but wait, they're changing my dextrose…that means, I'm two timer?! Wait! Not just a two timer but…well, I don't know what you call a 'womanizer' in a dextrose way so a two timer will do. Geez, maybe, the dextrose liquid crawled on my brain that made me think of stupid things.

I shook my head to remove those thoughts occupying my head. I slowly opened my door since it's already midnight and I don't like getting their attention because they might pamper me back to sleep. I peek outside and smiled after seeing no one's roaming around. Their quarters are also quiet, maybe, all of them are resting or other nurses is on the ground floor.

I stepped outside after closing my door. I walked slowly but surely.

I stopped in front of his door and peek on a little glass window. I knocked once. I saw how he move his head, maybe he's finding where did the sound occur.

"I'll enter." I said and lightly opened the door. I showed my head inside and saw him staring straight at the ceiling. "I'm RC from the other room. I just want to offer a friendship so I'll enter."

I walked and stopped inches from him.

"Hi." I greeted.

"Who are you?"

I had shivers hearing his cold and emotionless voice that made me step my foot back.

"I'm RC from the other room." I repeated full of bravery. He looks so intimidating because of his voice but when you based it from his visual without letting his mouth talk, he looks like a soft one with a bubbly attitude. How I wish he won't open his mouth therefor I will always compliment him with a good attitude.

"Go out!"

My eyes get big out of shock hearing him raising his voice.

I tilt my head and rolled my eyes. I don't care anymore, no matter how he shouts with his lungs out I would never follow what he said. I'm a lawbreaker after all.

I seated on the sofa and stared at him.

I tilted my head again.

Honestly, I feel sympathy seeing him staring at the ceiling blankly. It must be hard dealing with seeing nothing. A lot of things are attached to him, maybe, it will keep him alive.

I'm staring at him attentively when he spoke that my eyebrows scrunch.

"She sounded like a dwarf."

I stomp my foot once. "Yah! I'm still here!"

He's startled. "What the fuck." He whispered out of disbelief.

I scratched my head and pouted. "I'm sorry, my bad for raising my voice. I didn't mean it." I spoke.

"I said, get out!" he repeated himself.

"I just want to talk to you." I repeated again.

"Ge out! I don't want you here!" His voice thundered that gives me chill.

I pouted where I almost look like a duck. I went in silence for him to assume that I'm not here anymore. I look like a spy in a mannequin.

But I was wrong.

"I can still sense you!"

It's a wrong tactics to do, I'm too stupid. The door is close so probably he knows that I still didn't go out because the door didn't even make a creak sound.

His attitude is worst than a witch. He doesn't need a friend? But why?! Leaving alone is too boring! I can be a personal GPS or even a waze of him because I have my eyes and my vision is clearer than the skies. I can accompany him everywhere and every time because I can still see my surroundings.

"I just want to be friend with you." I played with my index finger as my lips became brood and touched my nose. My voice almost broke. Am I too desperate for a friendship?

"I don't want anyone! Go fucking out!" He points at the window. What he wanted me to do? Jump off the window and die?

"Do you want me to die?" My voice is almost a whisper. I shed a tear.

"What?!" He hissed. "I said get out! Who says I want you to die?!" He asked furiously.

"You're pointing at the window." I said to him. His hand drops. "Y-you…" I bite my bottom lips. "You want me to die by jumping off the window. You bad person!"

"What?!" He hissed again. "Stupid! Just go out!"

"I will!" I stomp my feet and march outside while wiping my tears.

I closed my door forcedly that made a loud thump. I seated on my swivel chair and let my head drop my head low.

How come he lived in this world with that attitude?

But I just realized something. Maybe he didn't mean that one. He's blind and probably can't see a thing so maybe, he mistaken the window as the door because he can't see anything.

I groaned.

How stupid of me to realize situation in a long period of time.

I sighed and stood up.

I went back to his room. I entered without knocking. He's still awake and staring blankly at the ceiling just like before.

"Hi." I greeted but he got mad.

"Get out! You're fucking here again!"

"I know that I'm here again." I replied and scratched my head. I crossed my fingers and bite my lips. "My apologies if I mistake what you wanted to say before. I know that you wanted to point at the door but you pointed at the window instead. I just want to clarify- "

He cut my words off. "I don't fucking care what you wanted to clarify. Just leave me alone you chicken mouth!" He said with an insult. How come I have chicken mouth where in fact I'm not even a freaking chicken. Does chicken speak? I may never know if chicken speaks but this man is a total asshole.

My eyes widened. "What?! I'm not a chicken, you asshole!" I affirmed and stomp my feet. "Do chicken talks, Mister asshole?"

"Kids don't curse! Stupid!"

"Well, Mister oldie. I'm not a kid! I'm already 17!"

"You're seventeen and stupid!"

"You're old and asshole!"

"Just go out! I don't want you here!"

"Why? I just want to be friends with you! Is it wrong huh?!"

"Of course! I don't want to be friend with a chicken mouth like you!" he spoke. My eyes get bigger. I don't really get this man; how come I can be a chicken if I don't even have a wing or even just a single feather?

I don't what happened between us two but we're now arguing over-like who's better if Dora or Diego like a goddamn 5-year-old kids. We're too loud in this midnight but we don't even give a f*ck.

"Do I look like I'm not suitable and acceptable on your friendship card?!" I hissed and brushed my hair. "How stupid of you, it's too bored to be alone. Besides, I'm a good friend!"

"I don't like you, you're annoying." He spoke and even crossed his arms like a bad b*tch. "How come I argued with a stupid kid like you. Tsk."

"Because, you're childish also!" I affirmed and rolled my eyes. "Was it a big sin if both of us will be friends huh?" I don't really know what am I saying rather than a point that I want him to be my friend because staying here alone for years is bored as hell.

"Yes, it is! You're too irritating and annoying. You have a gunshot mouth. If I have my eyes, I'll laugh at you. "  He touched his eyes and snapped his finger.  " because I know that you look like a chicken!"

My eyebrows furrowed. I don't look like a chicken, I look like a duck because of my pouting lips.

I flipped my hair. "But, how unfortunate of you! You don't have your eye so you can't laugh at me." I chuckled. Burn baby!

He became silent.

I covered my lips. My face became softer. I shouldn't have said those.

"Yah! You chicken mouth! Fucking go out! Now!

I'm startled after his voice thundered.

I couldn't say anything. With his voice, I know that he attracted the monsters-I mean, the nurses. The door opened. I turned around to see who it was and I'm not even shock seeing Nurse Mia entered the room.

I smiled like a criminal caught in act.

Nana Mia sighed.

"Reina Constancia Vargas, you're messing around this midnight. Do you want me to tell your mother for her to scold you again?" She asked, strictly.

I puckered my lips, "I just wanna be friends."

"Bring her out, it's irritating. I want to rest." He spoke.

"Let's go, Reina." Nurse Mia urged. I pouted and followed her.

"It's already midnight. It's not good for you."

"It's good for me because I'm going to have a friend so I won't be alone again." I hoped on my bed. Nurse Mia was flustered with what I did. I just smiled at her. She sighed and shook her head out of disbelief.

"Reina, don't bother him for now. He's still not in a good condition yet you make him mad. It's not good for him and of course, arguing is not good for you too." Nurse Mia said and covered me with a comforter. I gave her a nod in agreement—agreement that arguing is not good for the both of us but I disagree of don't bother him.

"What's with his attitude, by the way?"

"Just understand him, he just can't accept what happened to him." Nana Mia replied. I became curious.

"Why?"

"It's hard to lose a sight especially it's important to him more than anything."

"Why? What is he?" I asked curiously. If I were him, it'll be hard for me too. Imagine, you can't see anything, good thing he'll be lonely without his eyes. Well, eyes are the one who can give you different feelings because of what the eyes always see. Just like me, If I see the moon and stars, I feel like I'm getting better.

"He's a CPA Lawyer, Reina. He lost everything after he lost his eye. You need to understand his situation because not every person can still be the same after a tragic happened to him, just like what happened to Kaios Jax." Nurse Mia smiled. "Everyone had their weaknesses, everyone has fears and everyone have their reasons why they became like that so, despite questioning their changes we should understand and respect them because not everyone is the same." She explained.

Morning came and I feel like I'm overdosed with a glucose, I'm kinda exited because I'll sneak on his room.

I just realized that, maybe he doesn't want me to be his friend because I'm a total stranger. Despite of introducing myself I argued with him and call him Mister Asshole and Oldie. And of course, he still doesn't trust me so I'll gain his trust and prove myself that I'm a trustworthy.

It's 9 in the morning and I don't have anything to do rather than bothering him just to get his friendship card. I already showered and I'm dressed. Just a little extra-large shirt that almost touched my knees. Well, I like these stuffs, It's too comfy.

I went out dragging my dextrose with me. I went to his room and entered silently without knocking. He's alone, and that means—no one will scold me from trespassing here. I walked towards the sofa and seated comfortably.

"Did you eat alre-"

"What the fuck?!" He cut my words with a curse. I frowned.

"What are you doing here?!" He asked, furiously.

"I'm bored in my room." I replied simply and lean on the sofa. His sofa is too comfy. I wanna lay here.

"I don't care. Go out. This is not entertainment area to ease your boredom." He said. I rolled my eyes and didn't follow what he said. I even took my slippers off and lay on the sofa.

"You look like a clown so it's kinda entertaining here." 

"Get out whoever you are." He urged me again.

"Nope. Not gonna happen, Mister Oldie."

"Go out before I kick you." He threatened.

I giggled.  "You can't see me and you can't even get your ass get up from that bed, so how the hell can you kick me?!"

"Go out!"

I think he's little offended. But, I'm right, right? I'm correct because he can't see anything and he can't even move a little bone so how the hell will he kick me? Through magic?

"Are you mad at me?" I asked him.

"I am!" He affirmed. When he will be tired from raising his voice, he's tool loud, he's a CPA Lawyer, but how come he keep raising his voice on me even though I'm just talking truthful nice?

"Leave me alone. Give me a fucking space for now. Don't freaking mess with me."

"You said for now, so can we be friends tomorrow?" My eyes sparks like stars and stared at him.

"No! I don't even like you so freaking cut those words, I don't want you." He affirmed. He looks so mad o how his ears and neck get so red. "Get out!"

I sneered. "No matter how you push me I won't go out. I'll keep quiet, I promise." I a=said and even raised my palm even though he won't see anything.

"No way! Your presence annoyed me! Move your ass out kid!" He pointed at the window. Haist, this man wanted me to die again, just kidding. He just mistaken it probably.

I sulked.

I'm about to speak when the door creaked. I'm ready to hop down to hide under the sofa when I realized it's not appropriate because the nurse still may find out because of the dextrose. The guy—which is the nurse, looked at me and raised a voice strictly. But, good thing Nurse Kim is not here, that nurse are too hot-headed towards me and I don't even know why.

"Hello." I flashed an awkward laugh.

"RC, why are you here again? Nurse Mia told you last night not to bother this room." He said and closed the door.

"She's stupid that's why she can't understood things." Kaios said. I rolled my eyes. The Nurse is not talking towards him, this stupid oldie.

"I'll stay here, please?" I asked politely and took a glance to him. He looks too bored.

"No, bring her out." Kaios point at the door, this is the time that he got it right.

His Nurse smiled. "Let's go, RC. We shouldn't bother Jax, he's still recovering."

I pouted and stood up. "Bye." I said to him but I didn't get any response that made me twitch my lips, he got a bad attitude, tss.

We both headed outside and went back on my room. I can even clearly how his face became a devil one after we opened his door. He's now a stupid Oldman devil.

"Let him, RC. Set aside that naughtiness of yours. He's hot-blooded and even us can't talk to him properly, sometimes we ask him if he's fine or what but he's always silence or sometimes he's mad." He said and gave me a chocolate that I immediately grab from his hand. "He doesn't want a loud and naughty kid. If you're gonna do that again, do you think, he will change his mind and be friend with you?"

"Of course, he will. I'm friendly so I'm going to have a friendship with him because I'm too bored!" I affirmed and giggled after the Nurse twitched his lips and shook his head.

The Nurse went out after saying things to me that he said I should always remember and that is 'Don't bother Kaios.' So here am I, sitting in front of my desk while holding a pen. Well, I wanna write something about Kaios, I just want to write my thoughts about him like how hot-headed he is and how old he looked like because of his mannerism towards me which is always shouting the top of his lungs out.

I'll titled it as 'Kaios 101'

'Kaios 101

February 16th, 2021

Hello, I don't know what should I call this but maybe this is a diary for him, Kaios. The guy who's hard to be friends with. He's hard to get ☹

I'm Reina Constancia. And I complained about him.

He got some bad attitude but just like how Nana Mia said, I should understand him so I'll do that, hehe. He always pushes me away and always says to my face that he doesn't want me and he don't even like me...as his friend.

He's Kaios Jax, his vision haded because of the accident he gotten into.

But, I promised to the moon and stars that by this week or two I'll gain his trust and I'll be friends with him so that I won't be alone and bored at the same time.

Yours truly,

-RC'
