Exquisite love (8)
Eeettt." Neya giggled at the excitement of her friend. The dolphin was eagerly telling her about the adventure she went on near the harbour. Traders from different regions were there. They were selling unique and mysterious items. She was pulling her to join her. As Neya was brought up in wilderness she knew how to swim. The problem was that she wasn't allowed to move outside the territory of Diamond forest. It was a rule set by Great Lioness. She never asked the reason nor she ever had an urge to step outside her boundary. Everyone treated her with so much care and love that Diamond forest was equivalent to whole world for her.

"Eeeerreettttteeeeeuuuuu.." dolphin pulled Neya with more force. It would not hurt if I just go and take a look. With this thought Neya left with that dolphin forgetting that boundaries and rules are always set up by elders for over protection.

Lucas was continuously knocking at the door but Chanyeol wasn't answering. After few minutes he turned the door knob and pushed open the door with great force. Chanyeol was sleeping while supporting his weight with the door.

When Lucas opened it he fell forward but Lucas caught him before crashing. Lucas held onto Chanyeol and touched his forehead. It was hot as a coal. Lucas shook him but still there was no answer. Chanyeol lips were turning a shade of blue. Lucas picked him up and lied him down on sofa. He went to fetch Dr. Lee. He came and examined Chanyeol.

Seeing tear stained cheeks, weary look and unconcious Chanyeol Dr. Lee's heart stopped beating for a while. He checked onto him. His temperature was 102°C and he was hardly breathing. Chanyeol's skin was turning a shade of pink. The temperature isn't good for his vampire form not even to his real form. At this rate his body will collapse.

After swimming for sometime they reached the harbour. Neya hid herself behind a ship. She was curiously watching everyone. Traders were selling goods while different people were buying them. A golden crown attracted her attention. As she was brought up in the wilderness for years so there was no concept of money in her mind. She stepped up in crowd even though the dolphin told her not to. She slickly picked up the crown while passing by. Unfortunately someone saw her.

"Look she is stealing."

"Thief."

"Get her.."

Before they could lay a finger on her she jumped and dashed into water. The owner was beating his head and crying in frustration because that crown costed him fortunes. So they started up near by boat and the chase begun. They had guns from time to time they were shooting at Neya as well.

As for Neya it was her first time interaction with actual humans. She was scared and was tightly holding onto dolphin. This kept on until they reached the outskirts of waters of Diamond forest. When the seal saw the boat it called rest of dolphins. They made a sport out of chaser and made them run. Neya ran to her house and slammed shut the door while thanking heavens for saving her soul.

After connecting a bunch of IV bags Chanyeol's temperature finally dropped to 99°C by next afternoon. He started to stir up. Dr. Lee had left only Lucas was by his side. When he opened his eyes he saw a ball of brown hair on his chest; without even questioning he knew it was Lucas. He extended his arm and embraced him firmly. Lucas sat up and stared at his best friend. Chanyeol poked his nose to break the trance and Lucas hugged him sobbing:

"Thank goodness you are okay elf" Chanyeol politely hugged him back. Every joint of his body was aching. They stayed this for a while then Lucas said:

"Let's eat"

"Order something here Lucas" Chanyeol growled

"No Dr. Park you are eating in cafeteria and that's final." Lucas helped him up. It may seem like a bad idea to others but he knew Chanyeol well. It was necessary to boost up his confidence. They went to cafeteria together. A few doctors in the way greeted Chanyeol and asked him about his health. They made their way to cafeteria. Lucas got a soup and a fruit salad for themselves. When they were about to eat a sassy midget diverted their attention.

"The Great Dr. Park is finally out from his hideout." Baekhyun chuckled

"What do you want midget?" Lucas growled

"Oh no Lucas I have no issues with you sweety I am talking to Great Dr. Park here." Baekhyun scrunched his nose and smiled "How are you by the way? Hospital is buzzing with the news of your so called illness."

"What do you mean so called illness?" Chanyeol stared at him.

"What I mean to say is that Park quit sulking like a toddler with these attention seeking tactics and man up to face your mistake. Enough with your stupid dramas." Baekhyun chuckled evily. "One problem and Great Park is down and needs a stretcher. Isn't it too much?"

"Shut up and get lost already." Lucas got up and pushed Baekhyun away. "Get well soon Dr. Park" Baekhyun sang a chorus while leaving. Chanyeol's head was down he kept holding onto the bowl of soup. His heart broke inside of him.

Being sensitive doesn't always mean that the person is looking for attention. How peaceful this world will be if we dont distaste humans on vulnerability and comfort them when needed instead of judging the said person and labeling it as attention seeker. Kicking an already down person and sight of their downfall is a fun show to watch for some but the real show is when you fix a person. Help someone out of their misery and see them bloom without asking for any reward.

Baekhyun from the very beginning had a crush on Chanyeol. For long he chased the giant. He confessed to him a number of times only to get rejected. Chanyeol never got those weird butterflies or chills when he was with him. It was obvious that Baekhyun wasn't his mate. Now both of them were sworn enemies of each other.

When Lucas returned to table after getting rid of sassy midget he saw soup boiling. Not again! He tried to pry Chanyeol's hand off from the pot but it was schrooching hot. Lucas shaked him from side of his shoulder but Chanyeol stood up while banging his hand on table. He began walking towards the door while Lucas told the worker to clean the table, put the bill under his credit and ran after Chanyeol. Chanyeol face was red in rage. He walked inside office and closed the door with a bang. Lucas hurried over but when he opened the door there was no one inside. He immediately checked the bathroom but it was vacant as well. He teleported but where God knows. Lucas kicked the table in frustration.

"Elf you are such a cringe sometimes."
