บท 35: 'Doctor' In The House

We catch our breath after shaking off the man who had been hot on our heels. Orion grinned and wiped the sweat off his chin with the back of his hand as he gestured me to follow after him. 

He grabs hold of my hand, leading me towards a building as I trudged behind him with haggard breath. The hand which held mine felt warmer than his usual cold ones, but it was only natural since he had just been running along with me earlier. 

Before I realised it, we were behind doors in a safe space where I could straighten out my thoughts. The first thing that came to mind was Orion's condition. He had been the one exposed to the threat of getting beaten up since he threw the grocery bag at the man and barely got out unscathed. 

"D-did you get hurt?" I inspected Orion's body as he chuckled from my light patting on his chest.
