Chapter 5

Ken's POV

Father called Rika, it's very unusual for him to call, i need to find out about it when I gat back. I just reached my right age yesterday, I'm 20 now, soon I'll be preparing on taking the position as the head of the group in the future when my father decides to pass the group to me. We are a really large group of mafia here in japan, we are running most of the large industries here that is also known worldwide. I don't want to be proud about it, but we can control the media and the police respects us, we are really influential here in japan.

I'm worried about sensei, I know if father finds out what I've been doing, I can't even imagine what he would do... but... I've been watching him silently from afar so he won't notice, ever since he spoke to me that day. I felt like someone finally understood me. I felt comfort that O haven't felt in anyone in these years. One thing is for sure, I can't let anyone hurt him... whatever it takes.

"Young Master, there is a report about Mr. Izuki sensei, he left his house just now." one of my men speak through the phone.

"Where did he go?" I hurriedly get in my car.

"He went to a pharmacy just a few blocks away."

"All right, I'm coming, keep an eye on him."

"Yes young master."

I myself too can't understand what's going on with me, but I do feel I understand now that a man can't live without touching his loved ones, without getting close or be able to hold the ones that you love. Touch. It's very common for human being to crave connection with the one that he loves, to feel that comfort.

There he is.

Sensei was already on his way to his house when I arrived at his place, he looks like he could faint anywhere, he has bruises in his face, I should have brought him to the hospital, it was just a few punches though, and if I bring him to the hospital, it'll be troublesome if someone recognize me, I would have called my personal doctor but I can't take the risk of father knowing---Oh shit!

I immediately hurried over sensei when I saw him collapsed on the sidewalk, damn, I didn't think that it would actually happen! I immediately run to his side and picked him up. He's so light. I sighed and hurried over to his apartment, I just carried him all the way through beacuse it was nearby. I ordered my men to bring the medicines I bought.

I put him on the bed. He's extremely pale. I stared at him. He's so fragile. Will he be able to survive if his with me. The things that he will go through. I smiled at him. I don't know but I somehow feel I can trust him, with everything in me. It should be dangerous to put all your faith in one person, but for me that's just who I am, it's very easy for me to do. I touched his face, like I've been wanting to do, wait he has a fever?

Izukis POV

"Ouch..." My whole body is aching, I tried to stand. I looked around. It's my apartment again. How did I get here? Wait... Right... I collapsed on the sidewalk. It was kinda bright outside and I suddenly felt light headed, and then suddenly I passed out. I knew it wasn't a good idea to go out in my condition but you cant blame i don't have anyone to rely on ok, I need to take care of myself, but I don't wanna go the hospital and----

"You woke up sensei. I brought you to your apartment. Please be careful."

"Ah!!! K-Ken?" I literally jumped out. "Don't scare me like that! "

I wasn't imagining I knew it, it was his voice... Ah... My face really hurts... I hissed, when I felt my whole body ached too.

"Are you okay sensei?" I looked at him, and I don't know if I was just seeing things but he seems to be angry, is he angry with me? Is this what I'm going to deal with from now on?

"Uh...yeah I'm fine, no need to worry, I'll just take a rest and my body would be back in no time. I have medicines too, so it's really-- By the way thank you for saving my life, please just let me know if you need anything in the future, I'll try my best to help as long as I'm capable of it. Arigatou Gozaimasu (Thank You. Formal)" I bowed to him. I really owe him my life now.

He looked at me. And after a while he said.

"Then go out on a date with me as payment for saving your life sensei"

Ok... what?

Is he really serious?

"Aha.ha." I laughed awkwardly. "Can you please anything else. Except that. You know I'm a teacher right? And you are my student." Well you guys are rich so you probably think you can just do whatever you want. Now I feel uncomfortable again.

Why me?!

If this is a joke I don't think it's funny anymore.

I turned around and went to the table where my groceries are. Im in lost of words right now, I can't think with my physical condition right now.

"Then I want you to be my boyfriend izuki-san."

Izuki san? I turned around and I can see his very serious face, eyes piercing through me. I swear I can't take this situation right now, I think I'm going to faint again. He's saying words that I can hardly take. Its so easy for him to say like there's nothing wrong with it!

"I-I don't think I can do that too. Ahaha! Please address me as your sensei, you're being impolite." Now i feel nervous again, same feeling when i first met him at school...

I turned around to get water. Yes I need water. That's right water...

"But you said---"

"Gomennasai (I'm sorry), can you please leave now, I need to rest. Thank you."

I hurriedly pushed him outside with all the strength left in me. He didn't say a word. I immediately slammed the door close. I breathed heavily as I rest my head behind the door.

Ok.

Rest. And then we'll think about this later. Again.
