Silent Cry

I can't sleep while thinking about what happened. I can't be mistaken! It's a stab wound.

"Just where did he get that? Who is him?", said to my mind

In the morning, I went to their place and I saw Alex.

"Is JZ alright? Where is he?", I asked

"Still on bed~", Alex said with a worried face

I entered the room. The room is covered which made it a bit dark. I saw him in bed.

"Are you asleep? uhm~ I brought you a medicine"

He wasn't answering. I heard him sigh twice. I went closer to him and can feel the hot temperature. I touched his head and he's burning!

"Alex! we should bring him to the hospital. He's burning!", I shouted for help

Alex rushed in. And touch his head.

"No... just bring in something to cool him down", Alex said

"Are you crazy?!! can't you see his situation? he's burning!!"

"Please... Miss... I'll take care of him~you can go back home now. He will be fine. He's a strong man", Alex said

I didn't say more and just go out. I felt anger but I'm so worried. I have questions but can't have answers. I laid back on the bed and beginning to have doubts.

"Is he a criminal? They're acting so weird. Ain't he going to the hospital even if he dies?... There must be something behind it"

After some hours. JZ has cooled down.

"Are you alright?", asked Alex

"hmm... thanks Alex", JZ said

"Where'd you get that wound?", asked Alex

"I don't know him but I think he was hired to kill me", said JZ

"Whom are you talking about?", asked Alex in confusion

"A guy that I encounter recently~I was suddenly attacked by him", said JZ

"You need to be careful bro", said Alex

at 7 pm...

my phone rings. It's an unknown number

"Hello... who's this?", I asked

"..... it's me... JZ", he responded

"Are you alright now? how's your wound? Do you still have a fever?", I asked continuously

"Do you care that much for me?", he said teasingly

After hearing it I hanged up and he calls again...

"What now?!"

"Sorry~sorry for making you worry and~thank you for your concern", he said in a soft voice

Mood has changed

"Uhmm~okay. I'm sorry too. You should take a rest now"

Then I hang up...

It was just a normal talk but I felt relieved upon knowing that he's doing fine and it made me smile a bit

"Wait.... how did he get my number? Is he a stalker or what?"

I was still having thoughts on many things about him. I really wanna ask him about those things I have in mind but I can't find any way to ask with any suspicion.

"Should I just ask Alex?~ ahh no no I don't like to get near him. He's a playboy...nahhh no way! I'll just better think of other ways"

"Should I just ask him directly or not?"

"Why is it so hard for me this time? I should just act like how I used to talk right?"

"Hey! what were you thinking this time?", Jesoo asked so suddenly which startled me

I look at Jesoo fiercely

"Yah! don't look at me like that! you look scary"

Then I sighed

"That guy is living next door"

"Who? ...that guy??", Jesoo responded while thinking

"Aaah!! the kiss????", she shouted with excitement so I grab her and cover her mouth

"Keep quiet!"

"oh! sorry haha I got excited so suddenly", she said giggling

"So, tell me about it...What happened? Why he's living next door?", Jesoo asked continuously

I have no choice but to tell Jesoo everything

"oh my gosh so is he alright now? Where did he get such wound?", Jesoo asked

"I don't know but I'm also curious about that"

"Why don't you ask him? she suggested

"Nah isn't it awkward if I ask him frankly?"

"What is wrong with asking? after all, you already saw that wound", said Jesoo convincingly

"Okay okay.. I'll try"

On my way home, I was getting nervous at the thought of asking something about him. I stop in front of the Taekwondo and Martial Arts door as if I'm practicing words in my mind.

Then suddenly~

"What are you doing here? why don't you go inside?", said Alex behind me

"Yah!! don't you startle me like that!", I said furiously

"Eiy... you're like spying in here. What were you whispering in mind? Are you here to see JZ?", he asked teasingly

"Uhm..I....I.. just.."

"You better come next time... he's not in a good condition now. It's his birthday", he said with a frowned face

"Birthday? then we should celebrate!! He should be in a good mood too. Why are you acting like it's a funeral or something?"

He paused for a minute then...

"It's a misery for him~ If you're curious.. you better ask him next time. I don't wanna say much about his personality. He's scary if he gets mad", said Alex in a teasing way

"Ohh then I better go now and just visit him next time. Don't tell him that I went here okay?"

"I can't promise that", he said then walk inside

"yaah! don't tell him", I shouted

As I went knowing him more. He's becoming so mysterious to me. There's a lot of things to know. So many questions to be answered. I don't know why I kept being bothered about him. All I know was I can't stop when I'm curious. I need to have answers and that's my rule!

"He's in it again", said Alex with a sigh while seeing JZ in the dark corner of the room

"Hearing him cry like this is making me feel sad. I don't know how to make him better either. But why is it in his special day of all those days?", said with a sigh

Alex just walks slowly to his room and doesn't make any noise. He put on his earphones then sleep
