Leyne's body couldn't take it anymore, and he felt like he was running without moving. He fell to the ground. The car stopped beside him, and then he was lifted from the ground and carried into the car in Tez's arms.
Leyne: No! Let me go! Leave me here...
Resisting, Leyne began to hit Tez, kicking him with his uninjured leg. The man, with a serious look, resisted the blows until he lost his patience. He held Leyne's leg firmly, and Leyne cried out in pain.
Tez: Are you hurt!?
Leyne: Yes... It hurts so much!
Carefully, Tez tried to examine him, but Leyne screamed in pain again.
Tez: Your knee is out of place... And your ankle is injured... We'll have to take care of that first.
Leyne: No! I don't want to go anywhere with you! Didn't you bring me here to be slaughtered!? What does it matter anyway? I don't want to see you!
Leyne got out of the car and tried to run away again. Tez grabbed him.
Tez: You can't walk... The best thing you have right now is me. No one is going to help you. So... Stop being stubborn!
Leyne: Leave me alone! You... You handed me over! You left me to die... I hate you! What makes you different from those men? You're going to deliver an innocent man to his death!
Tez: THAT'S ENOUGH!
Leyne: ...
Tez: I wasn't going to leave you to die! I had everything planned, I wasn't going to let you stay with them. I was going to take you away with me after... But... You ruined everything by trying to run away... And look at you!
Leyne was paralyzed.
Tez: Why are you being so difficult? Look at you now! How can anyone take care of you? You're constantly playing, running... Jumping walls...
Tez picked Leyne up and put him back in the car, then another car pulled up beside them.
Rodrigo: Boss! Everything okay?
Tez: I found him, but we need to take care of his injuries. Doctor, can you send him to the Blue Whale Hotel?
Rodrigo: Yes, but aren't you going back home?
Tez: Now's not the time. We could get in trouble if we go back. Send the Doctor there, okay? Thank you, Rodrigo.
Rodrigo: Alright. See you later.
Rodrigo looked at Leyne and smiled. Leyne smiled back slightly.
III
Around nine-thirty at night, the Doctor left after treating Leyne's injuries.
Tez: How are you feeling?
Leyne: Better.
Tez: You must be hungry. Eat this.
Tez handed Leyne a bowl of instant noodles. He ate a little and then looked at Tez in front of him.
Leyne: Are you saying you weren't going to leave me with them?
Tez: No.
Leyne: Why didn't you tell me your plan?
Tez: If you knew, your expression would have given it away. They would have found out.
Leyne: And did you have to tie me up so tight?
Tez: A slightly stronger man could have gotten loose... I didn't realize how weak you were. I'm sorry.
Leyne: I don't want any more.
Leyne held out the bowl to Tez, who took it and placed it on the table.
Tez: Then go to sleep. You need to rest.
Leyne: Rest so you can offer me up again?
Tez: If you don't want to sleep, that's your problem!
Leyne tried to get up, and Tez quickly ran to support him.
Tez: Why did you get out of bed?
Leyne: Because I want to go to the bathroom, can I?
Tez: I'll go with you.
Leyne: You don't have to, do you think I'm going to run away?
Tez: I don't know what to expect from you. Running away must be what you do best.
Leyne: "Yeah, I'm going to jump from the third floor with a broken knee!" You idiot!
Freeing himself from Tez, Leyne entered the bathroom.
Tez: {He really does have a difficult personality.}
Leaving the bathroom, Leyne saw Tez quickly rise from the sofa and come towards him.
Leyne: I don't need you to hold me up!
As Leyne finished his sentence, he lost his balance and fell into Tez's arms.
Tez: What did you say?
The two looked at each other.
With Leyne in his arms, Tez observed the details of his face.
Tez: {He's small and has such fine features. He shouldn't be treated so badly. I was blinded for a moment. I shouldn't have done anything to make him like this.}
The rope marks on Leyne's wrist made Tez feel guilty.
Tez: {I can't do this to him. There must be another way to solve this. I definitely... don't want to put him in danger anymore... I want to take care of you.}
...
For a moment, still in Tez's arms, Leyne also reflected as he looked at him.
Leyne: {Did he really come to keep me from falling? His arms are so big and comfortable... God! This is no time for a racing heart! This jerk wanted to give me to the wolves! He tied me up, and used me. I won't forgive him for this!}
Leyne: I think you better let me go...
Tez kissed Leyne.
Leyne's heart raced even faster as he felt Tez's lips intertwine with his. The kiss lasted a few minutes until Leyne felt pain in his knee.
Leyne: Ouch.
Tez: What is it?
Leyne: Let me get back to bed...
Tez laid Leyne down and gently arranged his legs so they were comfortable.
Leyne: Why did you kiss me just now?
Tez: I... I don't know. You better get some sleep.
Embarrassed by the question, the man went to sit on the sofa further away from the bed. He just kept looking at Leyne.
Leyne: Stop looking at me! And... Don't you dare kiss me again! I won't forgive you! And I certainly won't believe in your "good intentions" after you've tried to hurt me so much...
Tez: You talk too much, you know?
Leyne: I talk too much? Honestly, now you're just going to say I'm talking nonsense.
Tez: You're the one who's saying that.
Leyne: I'm not going to pay attention to that.
Leyne crossed his arms.
Leyne: Aren't you ashamed? You should be ashamed of yourself for using a person in my condition. You take care of me, and then you're the first one who wants to hurt me...
Tez went to the bed.
Tez: Please... Shut up.
Leyne's face changed; he furrowed his brow in anger.
Leyne: Oh yeah, just because you want me to...
Once again, Leyne was silenced by Tez's lips.
