Yohan opened his eyes, seeing the familiar ceiling he pushed himself up looking around and see the familiar room, it isn't his new apartment no...
---how did I end up here, did I fainted? Last thing I remember was getting carried on Rain's back...what happened after?---
He pushed the sheets away and stands from the king-size bed but went back sitting
---Oh, my head still hurts---
He look at the door and it got opened and a familiar face came through the door, it was the archery teacher "fourth, finally you are awake!"
"Aven, how much time I was out?"
The archery teacher whose name was Aven looked at his hour "exactly 26 hours! And since you are a doctor I am disappointed in you, leaving your body to reach that state? that insane!"
"What exactly happened?"
Aven gets in the room closing the doors after checking the outside "JiYun is taking a shower at the moment, so let have a brief of the situation" he said while sitting next to him "I saw you with the red-circle heir, I was shocked, so I kept an eye on you, when you collapsed he was the one taking you to the clinic, but I stopped him lying it was closed, so I asked to take you in my car to the hospital" Aven thought about it "he probably didn't trust me, but his cousin Yuki catch up to you two and convinced him to let me take you, so I brought you here and called a doctor, now the question is...does JiYun knows you are a school-mate with the heir of the red-circle?"
Yohan shake his head a no "no one knows, can you keep it secret? Please! Please!" Yohan begged grabbing Aven arm but felt his headache strikes again "ugh!"
"You should rest more befo..." but the door got opened cutting Aven sentence "JiYun!"
"Un-uncle" Yohan said with wide eyes seeing how his uncle was furious, yet all wet wearing the shower robe.
"You woke up!" his uncle said little loud "That's it! You won't go back to that university, it was the biggest mistake I convinced you to do"
"But uncle..." Yohan stands
"NO BUTS!" he yells in anger but his anger was because he cares and Yohan knows that
"I..."
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR FATHER WILL DO IF ANYHTING HAPPENED TO YOU?"
"IT WAS JUST A NORMAL FEVER" Yohan yells the first sentence but spoke calmly after saying the words like it is an obvious situation "it is no big deal, I was careless, and any normal human-being could have a fever!"
but the uncle gets near pointing his finger to Yohan's face "you know damn well you are no-near to the word 'normal' you getting sick it means you overdid it"
And the words he said went like daggers inside Yohan's heart his face had this expression of disappointment "you sound just like my father" he said passing by him, leaving the room
"Yohan I am sorry..." his uncle called with a loud voice apologizing immediately feeling guilty of the words he said knowing he did a mistake, he walked outside the room to see Yohan leaving that house without stopping.
"JiYun, that was harsh! The kid didn't even recover yet!" Aven said standing next to him "he definitely used the fragment in that skating race, but his body was already burning before"
JiYun nodded "he went under water to save the red-circle heir at the auction, it was impossible to find him since it was deep and dark tho..." he huffs thinking he probably catches a cold from that time
"i see" Aven smiled walking away with "the red-circle heir, interesting..."
-------------// the next day
---how did he describe it? 'A rare piece that falls from the skies, it says it would give wealth to the owner and good luck' well that is 25% true I guess, the myths our family believes is that the full crystal could open the human body hidden strength---
Yohan was sitting at the class looking at a picture of the human brain
---Although I believe that the brain could be responsible on our physical actions and mental decisions, it said that the crystal make you able to be faster, stronger, smarter...---
He looks at the professor who was explaining the lesson
---...and that IS my case, I ate a fragment from that crystal by accident, luckily it didn't harm me as it did to my late uncle and other ancestors in my family who ended up dead, yet it gave me something, something that is little extraordinary for a human to be called 'normal', which means that is not a myth anymore---
Finishing his classes Yohan walked in the halls heading to the parking so he can take his bicycle to go to his apartment.
"YOHAN!"
He heard his name being called and he knew it is Rain's voice, he huffs and continue his way ignoring the call since he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, but Rain was already next to him
"Are you better now? I tried to call you to check on you, but you didn't answer"
---I don't remember giving him my number? ---
"I took your number from the club form, I was wor..."
But Yohan turned looking at him "I don't recall I asked to be this close, if you feel pity because of the bullies I promise you they won't bully me again, so stop pretending like you care or worried, I am so done with the double faces at this moment"
Saying that Yohan walked away, he took his bicycle and went to the complex to rest and study.
The next day he spent the day so calm and no one spoke with him except the duo from the lab-class whose nickname was Ben, after that he went back to the complex to ended up leaving in a car to his real house since it was the weekend.
--------------------//---------------//
The screaming was loud, the cheering was filled with joy and anger inside that underground space where a small arena was made by humans standing, betting on who will win from the two dogs fighting inside of it.
Brushing his hair up with his fingers while fixing the braids, Yohan came to his own area in the underworld, a place he made for himself to chill
"Fourth" a man came near him when he stands looking at the fight
"How is everything?" Yohan asked focusing on the fight
"Great, it's only been 4 months since you showed up but we made a huge progress almost reaching the 3rd prince reputation"
Yohan nodded "is my uncle around?"
"No" the guy informed "I heard he took his men and went to the warehouse at the Z13 area"
Yohan focus on the fight got disturbed hearing that, he looked at the guy "why would he? That isn't our area?"
"Well..." the guy said with some embarrassment in his words "some of the new Hellhounds thoughts they could take it by force so it ended up in a big mess over there, so he went to clean things out"
"And he will probably do just fine!"
---I mean my uncle is in the field since forever he can deal with it, also that warehouse is actually a weapon stock for the red-circle Mafia, and I don't want to meet...you know, it not because something specific, no but because of all the 'sh*t' my uncle keep saying about no one hurt anyone or it would be a huge war! I mean if I went there I may insist to keep that warehouse and damn fight for it since it is in our position at the moment! And who knows maybe we will probably win but that win would be with blood no doubt---
"I will be at the top" Yohan said when he walks out of the arena and went up to where the people were dancing.
in the top side there was a club, and what better could hide the loud screams of gambling than the loud music and the dancing?
he went to his usual spot and sits getting immediately served his favorite wine while looking down at the people enjoying their time.
--------------------//the next day
Beepeep, Beepeep, Beepeep...
The sound was coming from his clock, and Yohan who was on his triple size bed inside his bedroom in his original house, Having his face on the pillow, did woke up searching for the clock to shut it.
---Damn I drank too much last night---
He pushed his body from the bed, but decide to go back and finish his sleep because he might feel a hangover...
---------------// Hours later
His phone was ringing and he start to wake up for the purpose of closing it and go back to sleep and that what he did...
--------------// sometime later
"Sir, you can't go in"
"MOVE AWAY"
"Sir please we don't want to harm you"
"FOURTH ARE YOU THERE?"
Yohan opened his eyes hearing the noise outside his room, he pushed his body fast and walk outside the room confused seeing the guards stopping someone from entering "Aven?" he looked at the guards "let him"
Aven walked fast to Yohan and start speaking "JiYun didn't come back since yesterday, I kept calling him but he didn't answer, he always answers..."
Yohan blinked for some time going back inside his room, his mind was still yelling 'SLEEP' but he did take his phone and dial a number while Aven was following him still talking
"...I didn't know who to ask, but you two usually go in missions together"
Yohan look at him answering "I didn't go with him yesterday since we had that fight....hello did my uncle show up? Okay get the men I will be on my way" he hang up, and looked at his phone seeing his missed calls and none were from his family, so they probably don't know he is missing, He walked to the outside while dialing his uncle number but stopped when he heard the call did got answered
"Uncle?"
Aven look at him shocked wondering if he answered "he answered?"
A voice: he is in a deep sleep
---I know damn well who this voice belongs to, it is Rain.---
"Dead?"
Rain: Not yet
"What are you waiting?"
Rain: I was busy
"You still busy?"
Rain: Not much
"You want to meet? Maybe we could find a solution to this situation"
Rain: sure, at your club?
"My club?" Yohan felt uneasy "Okay, I will be there in 30 minutes"
