KEN’S POV


    After Alexa ate and drank her medicine, she fell asleep again. I watched her while she was sleeping, and I could not stop smiling. She really looks like an angel when she sleeps. They are both really the same. I just pped my forehead with my thoughts. Come on, Ken, move on. They are different, okay?


    “I will protect you always. ” I eximed, even though I knew Alexa would not hear me.


    Suddenly my cell phone vibrated, so I looked at it and frowned when I saw that it was Caleb calling. What is it this time?Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Oh? What do you need? ” I said after I answered his call.


    ( You are so impatient. You are worse than a pre-menstruating woman. ) he teased.


    ” I will hang up the call. ” I was cold towards Caleb.


    ( Hey, hey, just wait. This is no longer a joke. I just want to know your situation with Alexa. )he asked.


    “What about us? ” I also asked back.


    ( Well, Rhea mentioned to me that you two are together. You act slippy and fast. ) he said with a hint of teasing


    “The girl is sick, Caleb. It is not the right time to make a joke about that! ” I spoke to him with unbelief.


    ( Fine, fine, how is she? ) he asked


    ” She is here. Her fever has gone down, but she is sleeping now. ” I said.


    ( Oww, you are an effective nurse, ) . he says


    ” Tsk, you said you will just ask how is her.  I will take it down. ” I said to him in annoyance.


    ( Just wait, so what is your score? ) he asked again.


    “Score? Are you crazy? I am watching over her, we are not ying. ” I answered irritably.


    I heard hisugh on the other side. What is his problem? Why does my friend like this?


    ( I mean, what? Are you still acting fake, or are you already falling for her? ) he asked in seriousness, so I was stunned.


    ” What are you talking about?! Of course, I was worried about her. After all, even though our rtionship was fake, I did not falsify the emotions I showed towards her. ” I exined.


    ( It is from you that you did not fake your emotions. The real question is, is that care out of responsibility, or do you like Alexa? ) Caleb asked emphatically.


    ” What point are you going to? ” I asked him.


    ( You need to know how you really feel about her. We are friends. I know you better. I just do not want you to be hurt or hurt somebody. ) he replied in seriousness.


    ” Whatever I feel, I only know one thing. I will not let Alexa get hurt. ” I answered him in seriousness as I looked at the sleeping Alexa


    ( Alright, it looks like you have realized what you are feeling. My work is done today, bye bro. ) After he said that, he ended the call. Aish! What is that person talking about?


    ALEXA’S POV


    I woke up because of the noiseing from Ken, so I opened my eyes and saw that he was talking to someone on the phone. Who could that be?


    ” Whatever I feel, I only know one thing. I will not let Alexa get hurt. ”


    I heard Ken say, then turned to my seat, so I closed my eyes again. Is he referring to me? After a while, the surroundings got quiet, so I acted like I simply woke up. I rubbed my eyes to make it look real. I turned to my right and saw him staring at me. He noticed that I was awake


    ” How are you feeling? ” he asked.


    ” Better than before, thank you. ” I answered him with a smile.


    I felt that I was peeing, so I tried to get up. I was able to stand, but when I walked, I was suddenly out of bnce. I closed my eyes and was ready to feel the floor, but I did not feel it for a few minutes. I decided to open my eyes, and suddenly my eyes widened at what I saw. Iy on top of Ken. He caught me before I fell to the floor. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and our eyes met. Why cannot take my eyes off him? After a few minutes we were still in the same position, suddenly my cell phone rang, so I came back to my senses and quickly stood up. I took my cellphone and looked at Ken who was blushing for a moment. For sure, me too. It is really embarrassing. I answered the call.


    “Hello, mommy. ” I said nervously.


    ( Hi, sweetie. How are you feeling? ) mommy asked


    “I feel better. I have already rested. ” I said


    ( It is good to hear, is Ken still there? ) mommy asked again


    ” Ken? ” I first looked at his behavior, who currently cannot even look at me, ” yes, he’s still here. ” my answer


    ( It’s good that way. Because our meeting has been extended, we cannot go home yet. ) Mom exined.


    “It is okay, I understand. ” I replied to Mom while hiding the sadness in my voice.


    “Okay, sweetie, I need to go. Bye, I love you.) After she said it, she ended the call.


    I just held my breath. Does it like this when you are sick, you will feel mixed emotions?


    “What is wrong?”  Ken asked.


    “Nothing. ” I said with a forced smile.


    “Okay, I will not force you if you do not want to share. Anyways, are you going to the bathroom earlier? ” he asked.


    Then it hit me. Our position earlier was embarrassing


    “Ah, yeah. I am sorry for what happened, I was out of bnce. ” I said


    ” No worries, but next time you will ask me for help. I am always here.” He smiled at me


    I smiled back and sat on my bed. Ken sat in the chair at my side table. The silence prevailed in the whole room for a few minutes


    “Alexa.”


    “Ken.”


    We bothughed because we called each other at the same time.


    “You first,” I said


    “Ah, I mean?” he began


    ” Sorry for what happened at the gymst time. When I yelled at you, I did not mean it. “he says


    ” It is okay. Maybe I was too sensitive at that time. ” I said smiling


    ” No, that was my fault. I did not even give you a chance to exin your side,” he replied


    ” I am also guilty of what happened. I thought it was simply because I thought I am imagining you when I saw you back then, so I did not pay attention. ” I exined


    ” But thank you because you understood me at that time,” he says


    “And thank you because you stayed by my side even though that happened. ” I said


    ” By the way,st time Rhea told me that brother Xander talked to you? What did you two talk about? ” I asked him in curiosity.


    “Ahh, he exined to me what happened. I was ashamed of him because I misunderstood you at that time.” He was ashamed of me.


    ” Is that so? My brother is kind, but when Rhea told me that, I was nervous for you too. ” I told him directly


    His shock was obvious, “why? ” he asked


    ” Well, my brother is a master in taekwondo, judo, and other physical sports, maybe you will end up in a hospital there. ” I said to him and then myughter burst out.


    “It’s a good thing I did not dare to do that. ” he alsoughed in response to me.


    I hope we can always be like this. Justughing, we are just being genuine.


    ” Is there a problem? ” he asked.


    ” Nothing, I just thought, it seems like this is the only time I reallyughed like this for past years. ” I admitted.


    ” Really, you should treat me for breaking the record,” he said


    ” You also ruin my day, sometimes. ” I said jokingly.


    ” Well, of course, you are so cute when you are angry. ” he teased


    ” Tsk, if I did not treat you as a friend, I would have kicked you. I am also a master in taekwondo, duh. ” I threatened him, and he justughed


    ” Thank you because we are friends. I thought I was your enemy for life. ” heughs


    ” Do you want? ” I asked him


    “I am okay with us being friends. At least even if we have a fake rtionship, we are still true friends,” he said with a smile.


    I smiled at him. True friends, huh, but it seems painful. I just dismissed what was in my mind, and Ken and I continued talking about things. I will never forget the day when I met the deep side of this man.
