33 Chapter 33 - Save the day

"Who are you both?" he blankly looked at them, hoping and praying that they won't bring up his nasty growling stomach.

"K-Kang... it's me.. Altren. You... you don't know me?" Altren worriedly cupped his face.

"Get your grubby hands off of me," Zhu Kang just flinched away, pushing his hands. "I'm asking who you guys are. Am I kidnapped? Is this organ trafficking?"

Aaron, who was silently listening to this, blew the fuse. He dashed over to the doctor, grabbing him by his collar. "What the fuck is this? He can't remember anything!!"

"That...it's temporary! Head is a mysterious thing... we can't predict how many patients will react to surgery..." the senior doctor wiped his sweaty forehead.

Aaron still did not let go of him, lifting him off the floor. "Fix him,"

"That's not how it works sir," the other doctors begged to try to save their head doctor.

"Fix him," he shook him like a shaker.

Kang just watched this through narrowed eyes. 'I feel like I'm watching the live action of croods. God help me, my tired mind can't deal with this bull crap,'

"Fix him!!" Aaron started swinging him around, growling loudly. The poor doctor cried, begging for mercy.

Zhu Kang watched all this silently praying in his heart. 'RIP fellow. I'm sorry, okay; I did not know what to do. I panicked! I swear I will get you flowers for your grave.'

"Kang..." Altren grabbed his face once again with tears in his eyes. "I'm happy you are alive," he hugged him.

'What is up with this fellow?' He pushed him away with a glare. "Sexual assault!!"

"w-what? But I was not...." Altren stuttered.

Aaron, who heard this, gasped. "Sexual assault?! Altren, you bastard!" he threw the doctor away and rushed to his nephew. "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything! I swear!"

Aaron kept chasing him around the room while Altren begged, saying that he did not do anything.

While this was happening, a doctor crept closer and handed him a cup of shaved ice.

"Thanks, man," he chewed on the ice, enjoying the jubilant scenery. 'I wish they would just chase their tails all the time ignoring me.....' he closed his eyes, sighing at his failed plan. 'initial plan was to escape by the night.... but I don't think I can anymore.'

His eyes focused on the duffel bag on the floor, along with the broken guest bed. It was pretty evident that Mister Aaron decided to nurse him to health.

'it would have been romantic if it was any other man, but with these two it will be a crazy hair-tearing experience that I do not wish to have,'

If he begged them to leave they might, but He was pretty sure the doctors won't ever leave him alone in fear that crazy Aaron will kill them.

'There goes my freedom.... there is only one person who can free me from this predicament,' he silently slipped his hands inside the coat pocket of the doctor nearby and took out his phone.

Zhu Kang dove back into the bed sheets covering himself from head to toe.

he dialed the number he had recently memorized.

"yo, it's Kang," a steady voice answered. "Who is this?"

"It's me, Gwyn,"

"I keep telling you I don't know anyone named 'it's me'"

"Not the time for dry jokes. I'm presently in a predicament and need your help."

"Heat? Are your legs numb? Did you collapse?"

The sheets were lifted up slightly and the doctor he stole from looked in without a word. He gestured for him to be silent.

The man nodded.

"No I did not collapse, but I'm in a hospital. Come pick me..."

"Hospital," the loud sound of something clattering was heard on the other side of the line. "Why?! Are you hurt anywhere? Zhuzhu where are you now? I'll come to you,"

"I'm at city hospital room number....." he did not know his own room number. he pulled back the sheets and gently tugged on the doctor's clothes.

"What's the room number?"

"205, eminent guest,"

"It's 205, come fast, I'm dealing with fucking lunatics here."

"so should I come as Gemini twin or as your brother?"

Zhu Kang almost sat up in shock. He completely forgot that his brother's idea of rescue always involved breaking through the window and whisking him away in his Gemini costume. "my brother! I need my brother!"

"Got it, the hospital fee...'

"We'll deal with it," zhu Kang cut the call and handed it to the man. "Thanks,"'

"um... one request sir, can you ask your friends to stop creating a ruckus here? It's a hospital and many other patients are trying to rest," the man pitifully glanced at the door. There was already a crowd forming outside, viewing into his room with interest.

"sigh... they are not my friends." He clapped his hands loudly. "Hey you two, I don't like strangers in my room. Get out," he said, mustering his courage. He somehow knew that these two won't hurt him in his delicate state.

Aaron, who was tearing at Altren's hair, glanced at him with a pitiful look. "We... we are not strangers,"

"You guys are," someone said from the door.

Everyone looked at the doorway in surprise. Gwyn stood there, softly panting. "What the fuck is this mess. Who are you people crowding my zhuzhu's room? And why are there So many doctors? Are you trying to do something illegal? Organ trafficking?"

"No sir, we are here to help!" the doctors all tried to reason with him.

Gwyn pushed all of them out of the way and walked over to him. he gently touched the bandage on his head. "What happened? Who did this to you?"

He could feel it. His brother's skin was slightly turning scaly. he grabbed hold of his hand and gently squeezed it.

'Don't reveal yourself, brother. Two dangerously crazy heroes are in here,'

"I saved someone and got hurt. Nothing much," he assured him, but his brother did not seem to be 'assured.'

Gwyn sat on his bed and gently unwound his bandage.

"No sir, I would prefer if you would not. it takes a while to heal. Even if the surgery was not invasive, he is highly susceptible to infections,"

"Surgery! What surgery! Did they steal your brain! Zhuzhu!" he hugged him tightly. "where... where did the cut into you?,"

Gwyn got even more aggravated the more the doctors spoke.

Zhu Kang glared at the doctor near him and gestured for them to shut up. "Brother. It's not a big surgery, only a few stitches. I'm good."

"No, you are not. How many times have I warned you? You have to put yourself before anyone else. Why the hell did you stupidly think of others? Be selfish!"

"You are wrong," Aaron suddenly intervened. "Your brother was a hero,"

Gwyn's fitful glare got deflected to the hero himself. "What did you say?"

Zhu Kang mentally prayed that he won't repeat that word... 'Please... don't... I don't want so much trouble. I just want to sleep.'

"If not for him, that young man would have died. Your brother is a hero,"

'That's it, it's all over.' he could feel Gwyn's skin toughen up like that of a reptile. He stood up facing him. He could definitely see his brother exhaling some kind of smoke.

'Shit shit shit.... what to do,'

He glanced around. The doctors were all looking his way.

'I have to save the day again,' he banged his head against the headrest loudly. "Ah!" he collapsed onto the bed pretending to be unconscious.

"Zhuzhu!"

"Kang!!!"
