As If I'd Ever Fall For You: Khun x (fem)Reader

Chapter 7: Twists and Traitors

"That's ridiculous! You know that black turtle is prey." Rak said.

"Forget about it. He has no reason to-"

"It doesn't matter!" Rak shouted. Both you and Khun jumped. "I'll drag him to the tower if I have to."

"There's no sense in us arguing about it."

"He's got a point... I mean... Rachel is the reason why Bam is climbing the tower. If she's unable to climb, then Bam won't climb either..." You said and nodded sadly.

"Quiet blue turtle, small turtle! Are you really okay with that?"

"I would never be okay with that... Bam's our friend... We can't just leave him behind..." You looked over at Khun and gave him a sad look. He looked away and sighed.

"Of course I'm not okay with that... but there's nothing I can do," Khun said.

"I see. Well, let's see what I come up with," Rak said as he began to walk away. Everyone's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. It was Bam. He explained how Rachel's injury was so bad that she would never be able to walk. Since you were seated next to Bam, you placed a hand on his shoulder in an attempt to comfort him.

"It's okay, Bam-"

"You cannot give up, I won't allow it!" Rak shouted and stomped his foot on Khun's bed.

"Wait! I'm climbing the tower!" Bam said suddenly. "You see, my legs can be Rachel's legs. I can take her up the tower myself." Everyone's eyes widened in shock. "I don't care about the tower anymore. Or the stars. As long as it's what Rachel wants, then that's what I'll do. I'd follow her anywhere."

"Maria..." You heard a tiny mumble come from Khun. Your heart sank a little. 'A girl? I guess... she's someone special to him...'

"Bam... That's a sweet thing for you to do..." You trailed off. "But... wouldn't that be nearly impossible...?"

"That's why... um... I'd like you three to help me with your strength," Bam said as he looked around at everyone with a hopeful expression.

"If it's for you, then I'll try my best, Bam!" You said and smiled.

"If you're that desperate, I'd be willing to-" Khun slapped Rak and cut him off.

"Count me in," Khun said as he stood up, "I would be happy to take you to the top of the tower. I can teach you all my dirty tricks along the way."

"Thank you, everyone," Bam smiled.

"I'm going to bite you into a million pieces," Rak groaned.

"Even though you can't get up by yourself?" Khun remarked. You already knelt down to help Rak up, but he was just too heavy.

"Are you okay, Rak?" Bam gave Rak a confused look. "Why are you so small?"

"What?! You mean you just noticed?!" Rak grumbled.

"All right, now that that's all settled, let's go," Khun said as he singlehandedly picked up Rak with no problem. Your eyes widened as he flashed you a smirk. 'You show off... I guess you are pretty strong, huh?'

After the discussion with Bam, you and the others gathered at the graveyard to give Hoh a proper burial. Everyone then gathered in the cafeteria afterwards for drinks in memory of Hoh. Bam and Rachel waited outside; it seemed like the two of them wanted to be alone together. In the meantime, you took a sip of your first drink; it gave you a fuzzy, warm feeling. You then took a few more quick sips. The corners of your vision blurred. Everyone else were already finished their drinks, and were getting seconds from an additional bottle that Serena brought. It seemed like Khun was the only other one who hadn't drank much yet.

"You're not much of a fan of alcohol either, huh, Khun?" You said as you hiccupped. You covered your mouth in embarrassment. "I swear I only took like three sips..." You hiccupped again and finished your glass. Like an idiot.

"It seems like you have a low tolerance, (name)," Khun said with a half cold tone.

"Oh shut up, you blue haired asshole. Stop acting like you know everything all the time," you said in your drunken state, "Though it's really cute, how intelligent you are. It's fitting with your pretty blue eyes."

"Oh really?" Khun smirked.

"Yeah! I bet you have some girl waiting on ya somewhere in the tower. Well, screw her, she sucks..." Shortly after, you blacked out. Khun laughed at your antics, but was a bit taken back by the things you said; it wasn't like you at all. Khun drank a bit more, but not enough to be drunk; just enough that he himself felt drowsy and fell asleep across from you at the table. Your hands nearly touched again.

It was some time later that you woke up in your bed. You were still in your regular clothes.

"Huh? When did I get here...?" You asked yourself aloud as you rubbed your head. It was late at night. 'I passed out, right? And everyone was drunk... well... except for K-Khun...' You felt heat rush to your face. 'Did he bring me back here? Oh gosh... I hope I didn't do or say anything weird like how I've seen others act when they're drunk...'

You got up and went to the bathroom. The light burned your eyes when you turned it on, but you continued to go about washing your face at the sink. 'Don't panic, (name). You never did or said anything weird... right? I mean... all you said was how he cute...' You froze. 'Oh shit...'
