57 Gaile's End 5

"What are you doing here?" Coby asked Lea with his same cold expression.

'Oh! Why can't he smile even just a little?' Lea secretly said inside.

"Are you just going to stare at me?" Coby asked again.

"Ah, Ummm..." Lea snapped back to her senses.

" I ... I came to give this..." She said as she lifted her hand which is holding the medicines.

Coby knitted his brows while looking at the small paper bag on Lea's hand.

"What is that?" He asked.

"These are medicines for your wound," Lea replied.

"I also bought an ointment, so that, it won't get infected." She added.

"I did not ask you to buy medicine for me," Coby said.

Lea put down her hand.

"Yes, you did not ask me to buy your medicine, but I take responsibility for what happened to you."

"I want to repay you for saving me and the customers the last night," Lea said.

Lea took Coby's hand and she put the small paper bag in his palm, "Take this." She said.

Coby looks at his palm before he spoke in a faint voice, "Thanks, !" he said.

"Do you have anything else to say?" he asked.

"N-No... Nothing at all." Lea replied while shooking her head.

"I'll get going now." She added and then she turns to leave, but then, Coby suddenly spoke.

"Wait!"

Lea's footsteps stopped and she turns her head to Coby.

"Yes?"

" Since you're already here..." Coby paused for a moment as if he is having a second thought.

"Could..." Coby gulped before he spoke again.

"Could you help me put an ointment on my wound?" He asked.

"As you see, my wound is on the upper part of my arm, and it is on the backside, so, I struggle cleaning it last night." He explained.

"Oh!" Lea looked at Coby's arm.

"Y-Yeah! Sure!" She replied without hesitation, after all, she still owes him!

She's the reason why he got injured.

Coby widened the crack of the door and let Lea gets inside his apartment.

Lea looked around the room.

It is wide inside, it is so clean and everything is organized!

'Does he have housekeeping every day?' Lea asked her self.

She can't see even small dust here!

"Come." Coby gesture Lea to sit on the couch.

Lea shifted her gaze to Coby and she followed him in the living room and sits beside him.

Coby started to remove the bandage in his wound, he doesn't seem pained.

Lea just looked at him with her mouth slightly opened.

"Isn't it painful?" She asked.

"No," Coby replied.

He puts down the used bandage on the floor.

Lea looked at the bandage with bloodstains.

"Did you not go to the hospital after you left the store?"

"There's no need. I have cleaned it on my own."

Coby reaches his arm to Lea, "You can start cleaning it." He said.

"A-Alright!" Lea replied as she holds Coby's arm with her trembling hand.

"Give me those." Lea pointed out the medicines.

She took the medicines one by one. "You have to eat this three times a day." She said as she showed the medicine to Coby.

Coby just nodded his head.

"I'll clean up your wound before I put an ointment," Lea said.

"Do you have cotton and alcohol?" Lea asked.

"Yeah, it's on the medicine cabinet," Coby replied.

"Let me get it, just stay here," Lea gets up from her seat and searched for the medicine cabinet.

"It's near the kitchen," Coby said.

Lea went to the kitchen but she regretted it when she saw the cabinet in a higher place.

"Oh! It's a bit high!" She blurted out as she looks up at the medicine cabinet above her head.

Coby gets up from his seat and went near the kitchen.

He silently walks closer to the medicine cabinet, he stands behind Lea and reached his hand to the cabinet.

Lea notices something from behind her, she turned to check what it was but as soon as she turns, she realized that it was Coby and she is just inch away from him!

She can almost kiss his body!

Lea's body turned stiff!

She can smell Coby's manly scent!

Coby took the alcohol and cotton, he closed the cabinet before he looks down at Kira.

A faint smile flashed into his mouth, but it's only a second and it faded.

"It's here." He said before he turns and gets back to the couch.

Lea has a sigh of relief when Coby walks away, she thought that her heart will jump out of her

chest!

'Why am I feeling like this?'

'This feeling is so weird!'

Lea closed her eyes tightly and tried to calm her self before she followed Coby to the living room.

The two of them sat down on the couch again.

Kira took the cotton and started to clean Coby's wound, but she was shocked to realize that the wound is deep!

"Ohmo!" Lea blurted out!

"This wound needs to be stitch!"

"No need." Coby refused.

"Hey! This is a deep wound!" Lea insisted.

"It will heal in a few days," Coby replied.

"I don't think so." Lea continued to oppose Coby.

"We have to go to the hospital before it becomes infected.

"No!" Coby still refused.

"We will go to the hospital and make that stitched," Lea said with authority.

But she pauses when she notices Coby's pale face.

"Hey, are you alright?" She asked.

"O-Of course!" Coby replied.

"Why did you suddenly turned pale?" Lea asked.

Coby stayed silent which made Lea suspicious.

" Wait..." Lea throws Coby a meaningful look.

"Are you scared of needles?" She can't help but ask.

"O-Of course not!" Coby tried to act natural but Lea can still notice his anxiousness.

"Ha!" Lea tried to hold her laugh.

But Coby can still notice it.

"Why are you smiling?!" Coby asked sternly.

Lea pressed her lips to hide her smile and she shook her head.
