The Horizon Boundaries

Ch.76 I'll get it!

Mia opened her eyes, finding herself in an unfamiliar place, in a white-colored room. The sunlight poked out on the sidelines of the window curtains. His eyes blinked a few times. Last night's events flashed through his mind.

Mia immediately woke up from her sleep, shaking off the blanket that covered her body. His clothes are intact. He breathed a sigh of relief.

Slowly the girl got out of bed. His eyes swept through every corner of the room, looking for someone who brought him here. There's a piece of paper on the table.

I hope you don't misunderstand me. I just drove you to the hotel because I didn't know your home address.

Mia smiled thinly. The man called him several times before he was unconscious. I wish I could meet that man again.

...****...

Mia steps her feet into school wearing white gray clothes. On the way to class, he is confronted by Riko. Unceasingly stale, the man dragged him behind the deserted school.

The girl brushed her hand. His steps back a few steps back while holding his hand that felt throbbing pain.

"Who is that man?"

Mia held back all of her barely spilled anger. After what the man did last night, there was no sign of remorse from him.

"Huh? Whatchu mean? Should I have asked you for an explanation? What were you doing last night, asshole?"

Riko laughed. "It's not natural because we're dating and we like each other! I've been the boyfriend you wanted me to be. It's only natural that I get a gift, right?"

Plaque! A loud slap drifted onto the man's cheek. Mia looked at him hatefully. How foolish he used to believe in persuading the man and would not listen to the advice of his friend.

"Basic bastards! I think our relationship is quite up here. I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore!"

Mia turned her body away from that place. Riko grabbed her hand, pushing her body against the wall. The man locked both his hands. His body was crushed by the man.

"You think you can get away from me that easily!"

The man kissed her forcibly. Mia tried to rebel, but her body was getting squeezed. Riko flinched, pain assaulting her lips. He released the girl. Blood dripped from the corner of his lips. Rough talk came out of his mouth.

Seeing an opportunity, Mia kicked the man's shin and immediately ran away. He kept running no matter almost hitting the other students passing by. Riko chased after him from behind while shouting.

In the third hallway of the classroom, Mia accidentally hit someone. The clash was hard enough to cause him to slam back. The man pulled his waist so as not to fall.

Riko caught up with him. His eyes gushed with anger. Mia hid behind the man with trembling hands holding the tip of her uniform.

"Suckers! It turns out you again. Move aside! I still have business with him."

The man crossed his arms. The corner of his lips was pulled upwards. He smiled mockingly.

"What are you gonna do if I don't want to step aside."

'Deg!' The girl's eyes widened. A familiar voice in his ears, similar to the voice of the man who helped him. He pressed his hand against the man.

"Damn you!" Riko raised a fist at him. The man is kinked. His hand pulled the girl away. His feet were deliberately blocking the road. Riko stumbled and fell down. Some students who passed by laughed at him.

The man squatted next to him. "If you want to challenge someone, look first dong. I'm actually lazy to treat people like you. But if you're throwing a tantrum, don't blame me if you're gonna suffer at this school."

The man's tone was calm. A big smile was on his face. But Riko felt his hair goosebumps. He left both of them.

"Thank you for helping me" Mia said, approaching the man.

"Kio, where have you been? Classes are almost starting. Let's get in!" exclaiming someone from the front ran a small approach and pulled him away.

...****...

Mia finds herself surrounded by three jerks. The girl tried to break through, but was blocked by Riko's accomplices.

"I never said our relationship was over. It's just your wish." Riko laughed mockingly.

Mia clenched both her hands, raising fists at Riko's face. It was easy for the man to catch his hand and jerk until his body staggered forward squeezing the man.

"I like your attitude, baby. It makes me even more excited." Riko chuckled softly.

"Basic jerk!" Mia Serapah. His eyes stare at the man in front of him.

Riko pulled the girl out of the mall followed by her two friends. Mia tried to escape. The man's grasp was very strong. Some visitors see only both.

"I was having a fight with my boyfriend. So please understand," Riko said to one of the visitors who stopped him.

"You're crazy!" scream Mia.

"Ah.... Hope you guys make up quickly!" said the visitor.

Mia still struggling. Riko continued to drag him to the car park. One of his friends opened the door. Someone pulled Riko's arm. A blow hit the man's head.

Riko went backwards. Mia was suffocated in shock. Kio stood before him. His face looks scary.

"Damn you! Why do you always interrupt my fun!" exciting Riko. He rubbed the blood out of the corner of his lips.

"I should have asked you. What did you do to my girlfriend?" Kio pulled the girl beside him. It seemed that he was still frozen shocked by the incident just now.

"Please teach this man a lesson!" riko orders both of her friends.

A fight that doesn't draw three against one. But Kio seems superior and managed to clear all three quickly. He approached Mia.

The girl's body seemed to tremble in fear. He cupped his hands to the girl's face.

"It's okay. Don't worry, Mia. I'm here" he said in a soft tone.

Tears flowed down both of the girl's cheeks. Fear enveloped him. Kio pulled the girl into his arms.

Silently-dian Riko took out her folding knife. He ran towards the man, pointing a knife at his stomach. Mia looked at the man's movements, turning her body to protect Kio.

Jem! Riko took off the knife in her hand. He fell down.

Mia clutched onto Kio's shirt. The pain attacked his back. His body was hollow, there was no more energy to support his legs.

Kio hugged the girl so as not to fall. He felt something flowing in his hand. A deep red liquid soaked his palms.

"Mia! Why are you doing that!" His voice vibrates.

Mia smiling. "Because I love you. Thank you for protecting me both then and now."

The girl stroked Kio's cheek. His gaze began to blur, his consciousness slowly disappearing. Kio caught Mia's hand. His eyes were glued. A second later, his face was full of anger.

"I'll make the calculations with you! I'll return everything with the flowers." Kio's voice was cold full of threats.
