LIFELINE

6.

Morning came and they are all inside the minibus heading to the farm. Kana and Jae are sitting together... Jae can see the faint blush on Kana's cheeks...

'Are you still not feeling well?' He asked

Hearing that, Marcus who is on the opposite side turned to their side... Kana glanced at him and he blushes more...

'I'm fine.' Kana said covering his cheeks... Marcus is smirked subtly and Jian saw it.

'What's with the smirk?' He asked

'Nothing.' Marcus simpered...

Both Marcus and Kana reminisce about what happened last night.

//flashback//

'It's true though.' Kana admitted

'I know. And it's mutual.'

Marcus answered making Katana pulled away from the hug 😳

Marcus chuckled and pinched his cheeks...

'Your eyes might fall.' Marcus teased

'D-did you-

'Yes. I did say that it's mutual.'

'W-why?'

'What do you mean, why?' Asked Marcus

'Why it's mutual?' Kana asked

'Because it is. Why are you so shocked?' he asked Kana

Katana pouts... 'You hate me ' he mumbled

'I don't, silly. Let's just say I misunderstood you that's why I distanced myself from you.' Marcus said making Katana confused

'Misunderstood for what?' he asked

Marcus dragged him to bed and made him sit before pushing his forehead slightly to make him lie on the bed.

'Let's talk about that some other time. Now, sleep.'

Marcus said and Kana obeyed. He closed his eyes but he yelped when Marcus pulled him closer to his body and felt the latter's breath on his neck.

'Good night, Katana.'

*************

They arrived at the farm and a kid runs to them...

👧: Doctor, doctor, are you here to help my grandpa?

Kana ruffled her hair and leaned to her level...

'Yes. We're here to help your grandpa. But tell us first your name?' Kana said

👧: I'm Mina ☺

'Nice to meet you, Mina. I am Katana-

👧: Like the sword?

The rest chuckled at her...

'Yes, like the sword. And this is Dr. Jae, Dr. Jian, Nurse Kelly, Paul, Trent, Jason, Ms. Dane, Ms. Carter, and Dr. Marcus.'

At the mention of their names, they wave at her. The girl is staring at Marcus. She looks afraid.

Katana slap Marcus lightly and motioned him to smile.

'Hi'

The girl smiled brightly.
