Ch.9 I'm Relieved

■Y/N POV■

It's been days since I started exchanging texts with Bokuto. Lately, it isn't just a text, he always calls when I'm having my morning tea and before I went to bed.

I started to open up a little more, as I was touched knowing Bokuto sleep late just to say good morning to me.

I'm checking some medical exams in the check-up room when my colleague came and handed me someone's checkup form.

I can't believe my eyes when I read the name of the patient. I rose from my chair and look out. There Bokuto san sitting in the waiting room.

Our eyes met and he smiles brightly. Why is he here? Did the team have another vacation? I call on his name and he came into the room.

Bokuto : hi Y/N!

Y/N: hi Bokuto san... are you having another vacation with your friends here in Hawaii?

Bokuto san shook his head no, and look at me brightly.

Bokuto : I came to get my hand checked!

I was quiet for a minute, trying to process what he had just said. He.. came here to get his hand checked? Wait....

Y/N: Bo- Bokuto s-san, what do you mean you came to get your hand checked?

Bokuto : well it means what it means, I came so you could check on my hand.

Y/N: wha- why Bokuto san... I mean why didn't you do it in Japan? There there are many good hospitals... and doctors too

Bokuto looks at me in the eyes and smiles sweetly with his eyes looking so gentle.

Bokuto : didn't I tell you? You're the only one who can heal me...

My heart skipped a bit, what's with him? Why did he keep doing this to my heart?

I came closer and check on his hand. I think it's hasn't completely healed yet, but maybe in a couple of days, we can remove the threads.

Y/N: thank goodness...

Bokuto : hmm? What's is it Y/N?

Oh no I blurted that unconsciously. I was relieved that it's looking better than last week.

Y/N: ah uh no... it's uh, it's getting better and maybe the threads could be removed in a few days... but uh you still need to be careful, it hasn't completely intact.

When I finished explaining to him, I look up only to find him looking at me with tender eyes

Bokuto : Okay... doctor

He smiled, and I can feel my blood rushes to my cheeks. I immediately turned around and took a new bandage to wraps his hand.

Y/N: o-okay then... it's done.

Bokuto get up from the bed and head to the exit. Before he walks out he looks back at me, and I look at him.

Bokuto : see you later... Y/N

■3rd Person POV■

Just like his last visit, Bokuto likes to wait for Y/N to finish her shift at the bar across the clinic. He could see right away when she comes out of the door from where he sits.

Y/N says goodbye to her colleagues and walks out of the clinic. Suddenly she remembers Bokuto from this afternoon, she could feel her face grew warm.

Just when she's about to step out of the gate, someone was standing in front of her, and she immediately looks up.

Y/N: Kalei?

Kalei : hey Y/N, are you alright?

Y/N: ah yes I'm fine, what are you doing Kalei?

Kalei : actually I just passed by and want to say hello, but..

Kalei put his hand on Y/N's forehead, and lean down a little.

Kalei : I saw you look kind of off, and your face is red... are you sick?

Y/N face grew even warmer, someone just thought she was sick because her face is red while thinking about Bokuto.

Y/N: ah no... it's uh I just have something on my mi-

Bokuto : Y/N...

Y/N see Bokuto crossing the road, approaching her.

Earlier, Bokuto saw when Y/N walk out of the clinic. He immediately got up and about to cross the street when he saw Kalei approached her first.

Bokuto feels like his chest is throbbing painfully. He watches from across the street as Y/N talk happily with Kalei.

"Did she moved on? Is he the reason she rejected me?" Bokuto thought

When he saw Kalei placed his hand on Y/N's forehead, his legs moved and he called Y/N.

Bokuto now standing next to Y/N, he looks a little antsy.

Y/N: Bokuto san... are you waiting in there since this afternoon?

Kalei : a Japanese? A friend of yours Y/N?

How Kalei called Y/N by her name so casually, makes Bokuto nervous.

Bokuto: hey Y/N, I ate lunch there and decided to stay for dinner while talking with some strangers... um, who is this?

Y/N: ah, Bokuto san this is Kalei, he's a local and help me a lot when I first moved here. Kalei, this is Bokuto Kotarou from Japan, he went to the same school as me.

Kalei holds his hand out for a handshake and Bokuto took his hand.

Bokuto : Bokuto Kotarou, nice to meet you.

Kalei : Kalei, wait... I think I've seen you somewhere but I'm not sure...

Y/N : oh, he's a volleyball player Kalei, maybe you watched his match on tv before?

Kalei's surprised when Y/N said Bokuto is a volleyball player. He remembers when Y/N was sitting at the beach, looking at the people playing beach volley. Then he remembers where did he see his face. He suddenly feels like... he had already lost.

Kalei : well I'll take my leave then

But before Kalei leaves, he leans in and kisses Y/N on the cheek.

Kalei : goodbye Y/N~

Y/N was startled, well it was a custom to kiss someone on the cheek as a greeting here but she's not used to it. On the other hand, Bokuto getting fired up.

Y/N: Bokuto san, where do you want t-... Bokuto san?

■Bokuto's POV■

My mood is very bad right now, I just saw a guy kissed Y/N on the cheek. Is he... her boyfriend. Did she perhaps already moved on, that's why she rejected me.

Y/N: Bokuto san... are you alright?

She look at me in the eyes, I want to ask her.

Bokuto : Y/N... could it be, are you already moved on? Are you and that guy are, together?

Y/N was shocked after I asked her this. She's flustered by now I can sense it. I walk closer to her.

Y/N: Bo..kuto san... what is it?

I keep on coming closer to her

Bokuto : please answer me Y/N... I need that answer...

I was standing right in front of her as she fidgeting uncomfortably. I'm waiting for her answer.

Y/N: K-Kalei is just a friend who helps me a lot.... as for the o-other question... I haven't fallen for another guy.

After I heard her answer, it feels like my knees grew weak as I slump down.

Y/N: oh no !Bokuto san what is it??

Y/N places her hands on my shoulder. It's been a long time since she touches me like this. After I met her again, she only touches my injured hand.

I grab her arm, trying to be as gentle as I could not to scare her.

Y/N: Bokuto san?

I look up at her and give her a relieved smile.

Bokuto : I thought... you rejected me because you've already moved on... thank god you didn't....

I rose and stand back up, still holding her arm in my hand. I look at her face that looking all confused and stiffened.

Bokuto : I'm... extremely relieved you didn't.

As long as she has no one I can keep going on...

But maybe, even if he has someone...

I might just gonna try to steal her...
