"Thanks," i said to Chenle that is kneeling in front of me.

he muttered while rubbing ointment on my ankle.

"Sorry-"

"I won't do-"

Chenle said coldly.

Silence.

His sentence triggered something inside me.

I nod at what Chenle said. My eyes begin to water. Even if i feel close to Chenle, he is not my friend. I would never be equal to him.

Shit.

I'm ashamed.

How bold of me thinking that he was being kind before?

How bold of me teasing him like i was his friend?

The fact that he is my superior won't change so fast.

Chenle is wrapping a strap around my ankle to compress it, minimalizing movements that may cause more injuries.

I can't see his face clearly. His head hanging down, focused on my ankle. I nibble on the insides of my lips. I don't dare to speak a word after what he said.

Chenle cut through her sentence.

"I won't do-"

" Chenle said sternly.

Silence.

Xiao Yue immediately shut her mouth causing Chenle to curse under his breath.

It wasn't his intention to draw a line between them.

Chenle was blushing to death after he realized his hand moved itself to pat the girl. He can't resist to. It left the boy zoned out inside, questioning his action.

He didn't meant to say that. The truth is, Chenle is flustered. So much so that he doesn't want to have a conversation. He unknowingly shut Xiao Yue off by stating his dominance.

Chenle glanced up at the girl when she wiped her tears.

Oh boy, how he wanted to beat himself up.

His chest is going to burst any minute now. Its stuffed with mixed emotions. How he wished he was there that day to save Xiao Yue. How he is being boggled with his recent actions. How his heart race when Xiao Yue complimented him.

He feels weak.

He feels fragile.

He hates how his cheeks are still burning by now.

But why does it all feels right?

The girl on the other hand is also suffering in silence. She feels ashamed of what she did.

Xiao Yue hates how she got too carried away and acted like his friend. After she remembered the fact that the both of them isn't and won't ever be equal, her regrets grows.

A few moments passed by without words.

Chenle is done treating her ankle by now. He looks up at her confidently after he made himself sure that he regained his usual demeanor.

Just as he was about to speak, Hrvy storms in running through the hallway. He stops, sweat dripping down from the side of his head. Hrvy puts a finger to his mouth, signalling to maintain the silence.

"Four snipers," he mouthed while putting four fingers up in the air.

"On the roof," he continued.

Chenle said, not even lowering his volume.

"Oh, please," Hrvy whispered, ticked by Chenle's ignorance.

"Jeno and Jaemin are out, Haechan is armed at the training grounds," Hrvy continued.

Chenle spoke a little louder just to mess with Hrvy.

"I'm better handling a kitchen knife than gun, you said that yourself, i don't want to risk trying to finish four snipers by myself."

Chenle just chuckled.

Xiao Yue is still silent. She thinks of how she can't help them because of her ankle. Feeling more apologetic as seconds go by.

"Xiao Yue, oh my god, you hurt yourself!" Hrvy said, covering his mouth after because it was louder than he intended.

"I'm fine here, you two should go," Xiao Yue whispered.

"Ouch," Hrvy responded earning a chuckle from Chenle.

Chenle said.

"Chenle they are getting closer, we are wasting time!" Hrvy said.

Chenle looks at Hrvy without saying anything.

Hrvy doesn't need another word to run and get what Chenle wants. Chenle is that scary to him.

I'm sitting on a wheelchair by now.

No, not really.

Chenle is pushing the wheelchair while running. Letting the wheels glides on the marble floor. I have my left hand grip on the handle firmly the right one clutched on a glock. I don't say anything though, i still feel a little awkward with Chenle.

Once we get to the front door i noticed one of the snipers behind the tree, pointing the aim at Chenle.

At the same time the man fires his gun, my bullet slice through the air.

My bullet gives the man a headshot while his jammed on the ground. Chenle is pushing me again, this time making me facing the house.

Chenle flicked his head to the side, making the bullet bounce on the pavement. I aim my glock to the roof, my eyes darting, trying to see where they at. I notice Chenle's hands are still on the wheelchair.

Wait.

He doesn't bring a gun?

I gulp and say,

"Chenle, where is your gun?"

"What, there are three more snipers!"

"Ah!" I screamed when the bullet was fired a few inches away from my face.

If Chenle hadn't drag the wheelchair to the side i would've severely injured.

"Chenle go get your guns, i don't trust myself!" I said, panicking.

Chenle said while laughing.

"Hehe?" I said with annoyance

A loud bang was heard before five continuous shot is being fired. One of them pierced though the leather of the wheelchair, Chenle ducked at the right time. The direction of the bullets led me to find another one. Without Chenle's command i fire my gun a few times before it pierced the vest.

"You freak!" I screamed at Chenle.
