Chereads / Beneath The Cloudy Sky / Chapter 23 - "Stuked together"

Chapter 23 - "Stuked together"

"Lets divide this paper in two parts and then search around together." Ning suggested as she looked at the huge basement that contained lots of equipments some sports, some cultural program related.

"Okay but be careful and don't touch the sharp objects." Feng warned her before tearing the page into two equal halves.

"Rogger that~" Ning said as they started working despite the dust and low light present in the room.

.

"10 Baseball bats...15 footballs....and---"

*Thud* The sound came and the little dim light present in the room was now gone and followed by the darkness.

"What the---" Feng stated as he looked at Ning who was equally surprised as him and then ran towards the door which was now closed.

.

"What the hell! Who locked this door?" Feng questioned in a panicked tone and banged at the door several times but nothing helped.

Ning hearing the noise quickly ran towards towards door.

"What happened?" Ning asked as she looked at Feng who kept on banging at the door non stop.

.

"Feng you will hurt yourself like that!"

"Open the door!!!" Feng ignoring Ning concern shouted again and kicked the door harshly but nothing happened when suddenly they heard the *chling* sound of keys and footsteps walking away form them followed by a chuckle.

.

Cold sweat dripped form Feng forhead as he slumped on the ground.

"FENG!!" Ning shouted as she ran towards him and sat beside him.

"....Someone...intentionally locked us in here....we...we won't be able to go out...we will be stucked here forever..." Feng said as his breathing got heavy and his eyes became unfocused.

.

"(He is hyperventilating! Is is claustrophobic?)" Ning thought as she looked at the boy who was shivering while staring at the ground like his life depends on it.

"(What do I do? Ning relax! Don't panic! You can't run away this time! Feng needs you...for real.)"

.

"Feng, Calm down and breath slowly." She said but Feng was too focused on the ground to notice her words.

"(He is not listening...)" Ning thought as she bite her lower lip and after taking a deep breath she took her hands on his back and started patting it slowly.

.

"Feng!" She called again and this time she got his attention, as he quickly turned towards her..both of there eyes on each other.

"Calm down, Breath with me....breathe in...breath out...breathe in...breath out.." She said as she continued patting his back.

.

"I am here, don't worry." She said with a smile as she noticed his breathing was back to normal and he was no longer sweating.

.

"Here have some water...don't worry I didn't drink form it yet." Ning said as she gave him her water bottle.

"Thanks.." Feng said as he nodded and accepted the water bottle.

.

Right now they are sitting with their back against the door in perfect silence and the only voice that could heard is Feng gulping sound.

"...Did I sacre you?..." Feng asked as he looked the bottle in his hands which shook a little because of the shivering in his hands.

.

Ning looked at him and then nodded her head,

"Yeah, for a minute...you sacred me to death..." She said while letting out a sigh.

"...I see...sorry for the trouble.."

"Are you okay now? Do you still feel dizzy? Or maybe a fever? I still have some tablets left with me and a bam for headache too--"

.

"Ning! I am completely fine!...don't panic..." He said as he finally looked at the smaller one beside him who was clenching to her pouch tightly.

"....Feng....Do I look like trouble to you..?"

"What? Of course not! I will never see you as trouble--"

"Then why do you think that I will see as trouble and that too at a time and situation like this when you only have me by your side?" Ning said in one breath as she looked at Feng with a mad expression and red eyes.

.

"Ning..."

"Or...Do you think...this phobia of yours as a tabo..that you want it to be hidden?" Ning asked the sudden coldness in her voice made Feng forget the fact that they were still stucked inside and that he is claustrophobic.

.

"Feng you know if things got out of our hands...*Ning eyes softens as she looks away*...you could have just told that you are claustrophobic or anything to keep yourself away away a closed room."

.

"Ning...I...didn't mean to hide anything...I--"

"(How do I explain that...I forget about my phobia ...and this was the first time in the last 11 years I ever had an attack and that too infornt of you...)"

Feng couldn't say anything in his defense and luckily not long after there heated conversation the door was opened by a junior who was shocked to see both of them inside.

.

"Thank you!" Feng quckily said as he followed Ning who went out the moment the door opened.

"Ning! Ning wait for me!" He said as he caught onto her bag pack.

"Feng...leave my bag.."

"Not until you talk to me."

"Feng I don't want to talk..now let go.."

"No!"

"Feng!!"

.

"Ning just why are you angry with me!!??" Feng asked as he pulled the bag pack in force and Ning stumbled forward, their faces just inches apart.

"....I am not angry at you...I am angry at myself...I am angry with the thoughts of what could have happened...I am angry at the thoughts of not being able to help you...I am angry at the fact of losing you!..Do you understand it?" Ning said as a tear rolled down her eyes and Feng slowly let go of her bag pack.

.

"I am sorry but I am messed up in my head right so please excuse me..." Ning said as she turned around and ran maybe to Ling whereas Feng stood there stunned with his head down a blush forming in his face while both of his hands clenched with his desire...

"(I almost took her in an embrace!)" Even the thought made his eyes widen and face hot.
