PORSCHE
"Hey, don't tell me you're dropping me off again on the same alley like yesterday?" A raspy voice asked, almost near on my ear.
From what he looked yesterday, I found him look better now. Even though he had evidences of new bruises from his old ones, he still look handsome.
"Why are you back?" I asked calmly. I looked on the side mirrors at the man in black tailing us before speeding up.
I'm more ready than yesterday. I was driving at the alleys smoothly. Effortless driving my flexible motorcycle.
"Hey, slow dow!" The raspy voice yelled while tightening his hands on my waist, his face was hidden on my back. Maybe to protect from the wind slamming on his face.
"Hold tightly." I mumbled before accelerating the engine, abandoning the man in black behind us.
"Shia, I'm still alive." Kinn said in amusing tone while peeking around.
After assuring that no one had able to follow us, I stopped the motorcycle. Well, they couldn't follow me, I'm with my best when driving.
The path I took is rather complicated, tricking them until they follow then accelerating and turning until they get so far away and can catch up no more. I let out a sigh of relief as the motorcycle landed in front of our house.
"Where the hell-"
"My house."
I don't want to put my life in trouble but in the middle of running away, the path I have taken was the one I am familiar with. And before I realized it, we are here.
"Let's go in and wash your face."
He blew out a mouthful of air in relief as if he had just gone from a hell tour.
"Wait."
I catch up to him and walk past the door. I get a pack of cigarettes from my pants and a lighter then lights up. He didn't say anything but raised an eyebrow at me.
"Fifty thousand." I uttered the words with the cigarette in my mouth, then I look at him.
"Huh?" He let out a short laugh, then looked back with disbelief.
"Yesterday, my watch-"
Before he was even finished, I gulped down and interrupted his words.
"Yesterday was yesterday.."
I am secretly afraid that he would take the watch back. So I pretend to be harsh, in that way, he would have a second thought to ask it back now. Because even if I wanted to, the watch wasn't in my hands anymore. The proceeds from the sale are taken to pay for Cher's tuition fee, paid the repair of the air-con in the bedroom, and also have to pay all the debt, there was almost nothing left.
"Yesterday, you asked for 50 thousand, and today another 50 thousand, a total of hundred thousand. But I know that you have an idea how much that watch costs, if you're not stupid enough, you could've sold it for at least 400 thousand. So if you think about it, I have even paid you in advance." He said with a smirk on his lips, tilting his head as if teasing me.
It was the first time that I came to study his face thoroughly, the sharp eyes with a dreadful glow, looking at me directly saying that he is not an ordinary person.
His face with a green mark on the left side near the eye didn't hide the fact that he was a mixed-race with a European accent. He looked like some noble that came from a very wealthy family.
"Okay, now that I saved you, you may go back to where you came from."
"Huh, I didn't expect much but, tsk, I never thought you're such a thief. Considering your good looks, who am I kidding anyway?" He said laughing, his arms folded in his chest in such a conceited way.
His eyes, lips, and cheeks stretched out fully in a big smile making my feet twitch. I want to kick him in the gut.
"Will you just shut up and just go?"
"What the fuck is that noise?"
The sound of the door opening followed by my brother wearing pajamas. He was stunned a little when he saw that I was not alone. He waii'ed shyly.
"Hi." Che' said a little embarrassed.
The bastard looked at my brother and nodded slightly.
"Go back inside." I said to Che'.
"What the fuck are you doing outside? You'll gonna wake up the neighbors. Come and talk inside."
Che who has been always timid just talked back at me now.
"Well, would you mind?"
The tall figure said taking a step towards the invitation, but I grabbed his back collar fast.
"I will go inside, and you, get lost!" I said icily at him, which made the face that looks like an idol frown in
disbelief and shed my arm holding it in place.
"How dare you do this to me." He said in a rather dangerous tone.
But I wasn't afraid at all. I turn towards the door ready to go inside.
"Hey wait! No one dared to do this to me." He said tightening his grasp on my wrists.
I jerk off from his grip and pushed him hard on the chest.
"Why? Who are you? I can pull more than your neckline!"
Staring into his eyes with the same intensity as his.
"If you don't leave now, I'll beat you to death!"
"Hey hey!" Che who came out of the house again, hold me in the shoulder.
"Go inside!" I said to my brother pushing him then following after, slamming the door into Kinn's face.
Huh! I'm not afraid of him. That bastard, who the hell does he think he is? So what if he is wealthy? So what if I owe him a watch?
~~~
I called Jae Yok thinking she might be in the hospital, but she isn't. She told me everything that happens after we left, the gangsters disintegrated shortly after we ran out of the store and the police got involved as well. She complained to me until my ears hurt. That's what I must do tomorrow, clean the club, salvage anything I can and pray that the damage won't cost too much.
"Where did the two of you run off to?" Jae asked me the next morning.
I didn't answer her just to avoid misunderstanding. I brought a boy to my house, that's something.
"I'm sorry Jae." I bowed my head to show how much I apologize for the damage to the club. Jae let out a sigh.
I know I'm at fault but this is not my doing. It is Kinn's fault, I am just dragged into his mess. If I knew this would happen, I would've not meddled myself with his business.
"Alright, let's go pack up things, the new furniture will be arriving soon." Jae said tapping my shoulders.
"H-how much?" I asked in a soft voice even though I am not prepared to hear a large sum.
"What is it?"
"The cost of the damaged furniture."
"Huh, why? Do you have the money to pay for it?" Jae asked fanning her face.
"I have kept a little." I said because even though I'm not the instigator of the fight, I felt responsible enough.
"Heh, you're lucky, Mr. Kinn came here and paid for all the damages, or else you'll be working all your life and still be drowned in debt."
"Kinn?"
A handsome face with an arrogant smile flashed in my mind.
"Yes, well Mr. Kin said that those were originally his enemies and you were just there to help him so he helped you to pay now. And you know what? When the police came, the thugs ran away." Jae said laughing.
"I think this Mr. Kinn is someone big. This morning, the neighbors were all so quiet, the ruckus last night didn't spread out. And when I look at the CCTV, I felt goosebumps all over my body."
"Why?" I asked wondering.
"Well, he is handsome! So handsome it is creepy. Who the hell did you bump into this time? That the word husband was pasted on his forehead."
I literally choked on Jae's words. Shook my head and helped the others clean all the bloodstains around the shop.
Last night, no one was hurt badly. Some had bruises, a slit on the torso, some green eyes, but nothing much. As for me, I don't even have the slightest scratch. The others teased me that they were holding the wall for me. I couldn't help but feel grateful at the moment, so I said I'll treat them to dinner as an apology.
~~~
I walked into the smoking area outside the fire exit of the shop. It is now 9 p.m and everything is in place.
Today, the shop is closed but all employees help in cleaning and arranging everything until they all go home together. Now I am the only one left to close and lock the shop.
I rested into a turned-over plastic bucket beside the door, hitting and releasing thick smoke into the air. Suddenly, I heard someone approaching. I could almost see who it is from the sound of the footsteps.
"Hi."
The newcomer stopped a few feet from me, dressed in all black.
"What do you want this time?" I asked in annoyance, throwing the cigarette butt in the dirt and stomping on it. My hands are on my waist.
Kinn slowly walked towards me, sweeping his gaze around, as if being cautious in case someone else is there. I noticed he is dressed as if ready for a battle.
"What is it? You want to die?" I said getting hyped, what if someone comes and destroy the shop again? Jae would definitely kill me.
He stopped in front of me without saying anything.
"I have a proposal for you." He said softly, but my heart throbbed so loud as if afraid of something that's going to happen.
"What?" I said coldly not letting the inner feelings show.
"Come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"We have a long talk to do." He said as he looked straight at me, his hands inside his pocket.
"I don't want to." I said, intending to go back inside the store, my heart is still racing.
Then he grabbed my arm and held it tight. "But I have something to tell you."
"But I don't! Let me go!"
With a quick turn, I released my arm from his grip and pushed him away from me. I got hold of a broken table that has been out to be thrown, and I throw it directly at him. But someone deflected the attack and came charging at me. I throw a punch at the subordinates that came forward.
Until Kinn could not stand the sight of his men falling one by one, so he came between me and someone I intend to land a punch with, but my fist came floating in midair as I was going to hit Kinn on the face. I was heaving so hard that I got distracted and someone gets a hold of my arms and feet, twisted my wrists, and stuck me on the wall. I don't understand why just yesterday, he seems so weak but right now, he's like a changed man. He's stronger than I thought!
"Let me go!" I said angrily.
He holds me at the back of my head, clasping his fingers into my hair, then gets his face closer as if he is going to kiss me.
Oh god!
"No, I am here to negotiate with you."
What?! His chestnut lips whispered softly so near I could feel his breath fanning my face.
"I don't wanna talk!" I said trying to distance my face because I'm having goosebumps all over my body.
"Heh, I thought you'd be better than this. You're giving me a hard time huh?"
"Yes!"
With that, I jumped at him, snapping on his neck with all my might and burying my fangs into his throat. The bastard was shocked and in pain, he pushed me away from him so that I could release myself from his hold.
I ran towards the shop, fumbled in the lock, and got to the storage room fast to get my belongings.
Shit! He came to retrieve the watch!
~~~
After escaping the death, I hurriedly twist the motorcycle and rode home at light speed.
My mind is full of thoughts about the watch. If Kinn had come and said he wanted to talk to me, what else can he be after?
Of course, it's the watch! Heh, who wouldn't, if that watch is worth more than 600? no, 700 thousand.
At 6 a.m, I woke up early to go to the market and buy some ingredients for breakfast. I didn't have to wake Che' up because I couldn't sleep at all. That jerk Kinn.
"Ohoi, you must have a rich lover eh?" Che said alternately looking at the foods on the table.
"I bought more to pack some lunch. Hurry up we'll be late for school."
Today's breakfast seems better than the others, with bread, jam, milk, orange juice, which was usually just cooked rice and stupid eggs, or ordinary boiled pork with rice.
"Please give me allowance too." Che asked with puppy eyes.
I reached for my pocket and brought out a thousand bills for him.
"Shia!" His eyes widened in shock and looked at me bewildered.
"This is your allowance for the whole month. Don't get too cocky." I told him thinking it is better to spread the money now before Kinn and his men came and take it.
"You're really rich nowadays huh..where did you get it from?"
"My savings."
My brother couldn't believe it, still gawking at me like a Buffon.
"Go to school now and study!. Save it."
Looking at him in his blue high school uniform, I sigh in relief, at least with the money I have right now, it should be enough to cover for the whole semester.
Everyone must wonder why I send my brother to an expensive school even though we are broke as aff, it's because I don't want him to feel like we are lacking.
He has been studying in that school since kindergarten which is also my alma mater. I don't want to transfer him until he graduates, I don't want him to feel inferior to me. Even though at times he told me it is okay to move into a cheaper school, I don't want to. I want him to feel safe like before when our parents are still alive.
No matter how difficult it is, no matter how hard, I will take care of my brother.
I locked the door and jumped into my motorcycle when I thought of something. Kinn knows my house! What if he haunts me here?
"Aunt Aoi!" I shouted to the kind neighbor.
"If someone came to ask about me, please tell them I already moved far away."
"Who is going to come and see you?" Aunt Aoi looks at me wondering.
"Just tell them I moved out of the country."
Aunt Aoi nodded and I came back to collect everything outside the house, whether it is shoes or slippers, umbrellas, colorful helmets, I stuffed a few more tires inside the house making it look deserted. Luckily, I don't have enough money to buy furniture, so there isn't really anything inside.
"Shit Porsche, you must be careful!" Jom said when I go to the cafeteria after my class has ended.
"Why?"
"You must look left and right always, what if those thugs came back at you?"
"Oh, you look paranoid. Don't worry, I won't help you out this time. Last time at Jae's shop, two people almost died."
Tem looked at me sharply. Both of them ran as fast as they could the moment the tables are turned.
"Who wouldn't run? Shit! They were all over the place. One of them even grabbed me and I almost choke in fear." Jom swears loudly.
"Hey Jom! Someone's looking for you." Aom said, Joms cousin.
"What? Who could it be?"
"I don't know just go to the front gate, he is waiting there."
"What does he look like?"
"He's kinda good-looking, and my classmate said he is famous too. He is wearing a uniform with the logo of the board administration. You better not make him wait longer."
I remember that I told the asshole, Kinn, that my name is Jom!
Oh my god, is he here for me now?
"Oh, you're going? Go ahead, I'll be right." I said nervously. I am not afraid to get beaten, I am more nervous about the fact that he is here to get back the watch.
"Hey, what's wrong with you Porshe?" Tem asked me noticing the tiny sweat on my forehead.
"Ah, nothing, both of you go now, go!" I said rather louder so that they just go and leave me alone, as I pray for their safety. Kinn won't hurt my friends right?
"Shit that Phi Aom, he played a prank on us!" Jom exclaimed upon return to the table.
"What? Why?"
I asked rather curiously. "We stand there outside the gate for a couple of minutes but no one came to approach me! I'm sure Aom pulled a prank on us, I'll kill him!" Tem said in anger.
The two of them light a stick of cigarette and drive to the nearest mall while I anxiously go home.
Upon arrival, I immediately asked Auntie Aoi.
"Aunt, is there someone who looked after me?"
"Ohoi! Yes! But Who were they? They look like mafia goons! Is you okay Porsche? He asked for a person named Jom, and so I said there's no Jom in here and told him your house has been abandoned for quite some time now. So they took off immediately."
"When did they come, Aunt?"
"At noon."
Ah, it's good they came when I'm not home.
"Aunt, can I park my motorcycle at your place?"
"Oh okay. Come here Porsche, you take care okay?"
"Yes Auntie, thank you very much."

I think about it nervously. What if Kinn changed his mind and give me 50 thousand instead and take back the watch? That's a pity, 700 thousand versus 50 thousand? Would I be that stupid?
