Azalea went inside the car, barely hearing the conversation outside. She entwined her hands, wishing them to stop.
Rico on the other hand drew few distance away from his car as he talked to the group of men.
"I'm really saying the truth, we don't know where did he go," he replied coldly, plunging his hands into his pocket.
"I don't believe you freak. Just tell me the possible place where he'll go," the fat guy said, grabbing a cigarette from his pocket.
"I don't know, we're not close."
"What!"
"Stop bothering us Morgan and just go," Rico said seriously, narrowing his eyes.
Morgan laughed hysterically, making his minions to laugh as well. "So you know me huh? And it's impossible you're not close with Leo. I know he's close to your cousin."
"To my cousin but not to me," Rico stated, making Morgan to grit his teeth.
"Just tell me where he is!" Morgan grab his collar aggressively, glaring at his fierce eyes.
"I don't know," Rico answered plainly.
Azalea saw what happened and was about to get out the car but Rico glanced at him and shook his head, motioning her to stay inside.
Noticing Azalea inside the car, Morgan let go Rico's collar, curving a maniacal smile. "Okay if you don't want to tell where Leo is, perhaps you can hand me your girlfriend. She looks so pretty, I'm sure she'll taste good in be—"
Frustratingly, Rico punched Morgan's left cheek, making the latter lost his balance and fell on the ground. His minions look so shocked yet felt mad to Rico. The thin nerd guy who told them that Rico and Azalea were with Leonel, look so terrified.
"Don't you ever sexualize her, otherwise I'll break your bones," Rico warned angrily, his eyes are ranging in fire.
Morgan rubs his swollen cheek, standing up from the ground. His eyes are completely mad too and his jaw is clenching.
"You dared to punch me? You motherf*ck*er!" Morgan tried to punch Rico but the Señorito dodged his attack.
Azalea already noticed what's happening outside but still Rico is motioning her not to go outside. He doesn't want Azalea to get drag with this mess.
Morgan noticed that Rico is just dodging his attack, so he came up with a plan. He immediately ran towards the Señorito and grab his waist.
"Tch!" Rico let out, wincing as his back hit the ground. He coughed a blood and he could feel that his head is also bleeding because of the impact.
"What do I expect to the boy who don't know martial arts." Morgan laughed, lighting up his cigarette.
"Rico!" Azalea shouted as she went out the car.
"No, Azalea don't come here!" Rico barely said but enough for the Señorita to hear.
"Well well well, what do we have here? What is this a drama?" Morgan laughed with his minions except to the nerd guy who just fake his laugh.
"You're an evil!" Azalea screamed, gritting her teeth.
Morgan stopped from laughing. "Oh yes I am." He walked towards her but before he could reach her, Rico grab his left foot.
"Don't you dare to touch her!" he shouted, tightening his grip on his foot.
"You can still move huh? But how about this!" Morgan snatched back his left foot and kick Rico's face. Blood trickled down from his nose as his head hit the ground again.
"Rico! Stop it!" Azalea shouted but Morgan didn't listen, instead he kept kicking Rico's face. She doesn't know what to do. She's in state of panic.
Morgan glanced at his two minions, signalling them to come closer to Azalea. The two nodded and walked towards the Señorita.
"No! Azalea get in the car, faster!" Rico shouted before Morgan stepped onto his stomach.
"Stop shouting freak, you're annoying." Morgan smirked.
"W-what do you want?" Azalea asked shakingly, trying her best not to look scared.
The guy wearing a red shoes shift his gaze on Morgan. "Hey can we do it?"
"Do what you want!" Morgan replied, smacking Rico's bleeding face.
The guy smirk manically as he turn his gaze to Azalea. The Señorita was about to go inside the car but the other guy grab his left arm.
"Let me go!" Azalea shouted but the man wrapped his arms around Azalea's arm.
"What are you trying to do perverts!" Rico shouted, barely holding Morgan's foot.
"They are just making fun don't worry." He laughed, glancing at the two.
The guy wearing a red shoes, lick his lips, looking maniacally at Azalea. He raised his two hands, walking closer to the Señorita.
"Don't come!" Azalea warned, trying to get away from the other guy, but his grip is so tightened.
Rico saw what the two trying to do, making him to feel more agitated. He looked seriously at Morgan, tightening his grip onto his foot. "I'll kill you," he threatened, making Morgan to laugh.
"Morgan thank you for this!" the guy shouted thankfully as he was about to touch Azalea's chest but suddenly he saw a foot in front of his eyes. "Huh?" The only word came out from his mouth before he flew four meters away from his distance.
"Argh!" He coughed a blood as soon as his back hit the bumpy wall.
"I was wondering why it's so noisy here at the back of the restaurant, now I know the reason," Aizen uttered as soon as she regained her posture. She's currently wearing her p.e uniform.
Aizen shake off the dirt on her hands, shifting her gaze on the guy holding Azalea's arms. The guy freaked out, letting go Azalea before he ran towards Morgan. Fear is drew all over his face.
"Another problem," Morgan hissed, removing his foot on Rico's face. The Señorito is still conscious though his right eye is already close.
Azalea was so stun to speak, seeing how Aizen knocked out the guy who tried to do something bad to her.
"Explain what happened here, briefly," Aizen asked Azalea, stretching her legs.
"T-they were looking for Leonel but we told them we don't know until it turns out like this," Azalea explained, lowering her gaze.
"I see. Go get Rico, I'll take care of this." Aizen walked towards Morgan, glaring at them. The latter and his companion back away a little.
"B-boss I think we need to retreat. It's Aizen, the genius of Taekwondo," the guy whispered to Morgan.
"Tch! No, we'll fight!" Morgan said arrogantly, lifting his head up to look tough.
Once Aizen went closer to Rico, she glanced at Azalea, motioning her to help her cousin. Azalea nodded and ran towards Rico.
"You fight huh? Not bad," Aizen said to Rico before Azalea arrived.
"Rico." Azalea helped him to stand up.
"Go to the hospital and treat his wounds," Aizen reminded, without breaking her gaze on Morgan.
"I got it. Thank you Aizen," Azalea uttered thankfully, spinning on her heels. They walked towards Rico's car.
"Did you see her attack?" Rico asked, once they got inside the car. Azalea is now in the driver seat to drive since Rico is injured severely.
"Yes, I saw it vividly." Azalea nodded, revving up the engine. Stepping onto the gas, she glanced at Aizen as their eyes met. The Young Lady nodded at her before she turn back her gaze on Morgan.
Azalea's POV,
"Will she be okay there, leaving her all alone?" I asked worriedly, once we reach the main road.
"Don't worry about her, she's strong," Rico assured, grabbing his towel inside his bag, placing it onto his nose to stop the bleeding temporarily.
"H-how about you, how's your feeling? We need to go to the hospital as soon as possible," I asked, swallowing a lump. Tears are slowly forming in my eyes.
Rico let out a soft chuckle before he answer, "I could feel that I'm slowly losing my consciousness, but I can handle it don't worry."
"Is that so? Then we really need to hurry," I said, controlling myself not to tremble.
We arrived at the nearest hospital and I immediately help Rico to enter the building.
"Please help us, he's badly injured," I notify the nurses. They immediately move on their position and assist Rico.
"Are you his girlfriend? Do you know his parents?" The doctor asked as soon as they put Rico into the emergency room.
"No, I'm his friend but I do know his sister," I answered, though I'm not really close with his sister but I heard from his story back then that his sister is the only one caring for him.
"Call his sister immediately, his bones are seem to look broken," the doctor said, making my mouth went agape. The doctor went inside the emergency room and started treating him.
Frantically, I went outside the hospital, striding to his car. I quickly grab his phone from his bag as I went back inside the hospital.
"I need to find her number." I scrolled through his phone contacts, seeing the name "sis" on it. "It's probably it." I tapped the call button, placing it on my right ear.
"Hello?" she asked in the other line. The background is so noisy.
"U-um is this Rico's older sister?" I asked nervously, clutching on my skirt.
"Who is this? Why do you have my brother's phone?" she asked.
"I-I'm Azalea, I'm your brother's friend. We're currently here in the hospital and the doctor is treating his injury. The doctor told me to call his sister.......since his bones seem to look broken," I explained, swallowing a lump nervously.
"What?!" She freaked out, making me distance the phone. "Where exactly are you and what's the name of the hospital?"
I told her the exact name of the hospital and even the place.
"Okay, I'll be there. Thank you for looking out for my brother," she stated before she hung up the call.
Dropping my arm, I shift my gaze onto the emergency room. They're still treating Rico. When we arrived here awhile ago, Rico is already unconscious, though I'm thankful he remains awake inside the car.
It took an hour before they went outside the emergency room. Worriedly, I stood up from my seat, waiting for the doctor's word.
"He's fine now," she said.
Sighing in relief, I curved a smile. "Thank you doc."
"Doc how's my brother!" A woman arrived in front of us.
"Are you his sister?"
"Yes I am."
"Well your brother is completely fine now. His bones were broken but it was just minor injury," the Doctor explained.
"Thank you Doc."
"Then please excuse us," she muttered before they left.
Wordlessly, she went inside the emergency room and I followed her. We saw Rico lying on the bed, unconscious.
"You're Señorita Azalea right?" she asked, once we got closer to Rico's bed.
Shocked, I opened my mouth to answer, "Yes I am."
"We met back then. Thank you for looking for my brother, but what happened? Why it turns out like this?" she questioned, shifting her gaze on me.
Balling my left fist, I handed her first her brother's phone. She accepted it immediately, waiting for my answer.
"About what happened," I started, telling him the whole story.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault why he ended up like that," I apologized sincerely, bowing my head.
"So that was the reason huh? And the guy who did this to my brother named Morgan?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied, still facing the floor.
"And you said Aizen already deal with them?"
"Yes."
"Then, we don't need to worry anymore about those thugs. And about what he did, don't be sorry, my brother chose to do that for you. Although, I'm mad since he looks so beaten up," she exclaimed.
I lift my head up, seeing how she caresses her brother's unconscious face.
"I don't want him to look like this. I love him so much. We're only the ones who're understanding each other," she blurted nonchalantly, shifting her gaze on me. "You're a friend of my brother, so I'll leave him to your care, Señorita Azalea."
"I promise, I'll take care of him, he's an important friend of mine." I nodded.
"Thank you. You can leave now and continue your classes. Leave him on my care for now," she mumbled.
I nodded and was about to leave but she spoke again, "Take care Señorita, and oh...you can use his car now."
"Yes, thank you." I nodded, opening the door and went off.
