Our House Pet - Chapter 5.2

"Seriously... I've never seen anybody say that word that fearfully. I wonder, who were you?"

Living with him for 10 days. I learned little bit about him. There were many tries to take him to the hospital, but every time I failed. I've never seen anything like that kind of abusive reaction. Only choice I had was going there by myself and talk to the doctor. Now I kind of understand now why he is acting like that. What I heard from the doctor was he most likely has amnesia, but it was little different then I thought. I thought he lost partial of memory, but doctor said he thinks Darong lost his whole memory ever since he was born. So I asked him, 'Then why does he look close and resembles cat, dog, and bunny?' the doctor said, 'When he was with them when he lost his memory, I think he thought he was same kind as those guys that's why he is acting like that. Because all three of them have different characters he got all three of their characteristics.'

"And he said he has learning ability."

'The most curious part was he never talks but how does he say 'food'?' The answer from the doctor was very simple. Survival instinct. It was because of that. Only way to live is to eat and saying the word 'food' was his way of expressing it. After I came back from the hospital, I panicked. I didn't know where he learned it he said to me.

"Hey."
"..."

Yes that word. He said that word. I thought he could talk now but next was.

"Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey."

The word he said 'hey' was not calling for me he just said 'hey' because he was bored. That absurd day, I had hope. I could make this guy into a human so we started to watch drama. I remembered that drama was about gangsters. While he was watching that drama, he frowned and said.

"Fuck."
"..."

Yes. Same reaction as right now. Gangsters came out they did some comedic stuff and when he watched that, his reaction was strange. After that, I never saw him saying any other new words. Only these three words.

'Food. Hey. Fuck.'

I'm not sure he already knows what those words means... Long way to go.

(Elevator sound)

The elevator that stopped at the 2nd floor closed the door again. I came out of my own world and looked at him and figured it out why he said those words.

"Come here."

Inside the elevator there were Darong and me, and a man just got in. He was wearing all black suit and bald head and mustache under his nose. The drama I watched few days ago that gangster acted stupid they... look so much alike.

"Hmmm.."

When I pulled Darong and wished it was already 17th floor, that suspicious man made a weird sound unconsciously I looked at him.

(Bang!)

"Ak!"

Right after we had an eye contact, that man in black pressed the stop button. Wha..what the hell! I was really really surprised I made a face Yurong always make.

"Ha..ha... Mi...mister?"
"Hhh"

Creepy... laugh. My heart started to pump really fast. We are in this small elevator. I tried to put my body all the way to the corner, but that octopus-head man was getting closer to me. Don...don't come near me!

"Kyak!"

He just grabbed my shoulder. My body froze and my leg lost their strength. I just slide down the wall. My cheek... felt octopus-head man's hot breath.

"He...hey!!"
"Don't move!"

Mom, Dad who's in heaven! Save your daughter. About to lose my virginity at this age to this pervert? I would rather lose it to Darong! Oh yeah, Darong! I was lying down on the ground and that heavy octopus-head man went on top of me. Only person I could get help from is Darong.

"Save me!!"

I sent my desperate expression to Darong. Darong... he was just staring vacantly at my desperateness. You bastard! Your master is about to get raped! I see. He has no intention of saving me... With his dark eyes that bastard was just staring down at me. Anybody who can help me... there is no one. When my mind reached to that thinking I was really scared.

"You mother fucker! Let go of me! Let go!"

(Slapped)

That sound... I was resisting so hard, so that octopus-head man slapped my face. In the elevator... I never thought I would get caught by a pervert. I haven't cried for several years... Right now my tears were bursting.

"(Sobbing)"
"Shut your mouth and be quiet. Or else.. I will kill you. That brat... already knows what's going on, so he is already quiet."

I gave up on resisting, and now I start to scream. I think he felt little bit danger too, so he brought out his sharp blade knife. Do you think... do you think I will stop crying? Save me from him. Do you think I kept my virginity to give it to someone like him? I don't care how I look anymore my face was full of tears and mucus. Seriously for last... for last I shouted.

"Darong! Save me! (sobbing)"

And then...

(Kick!)

My body got... lighter?

"Ow! You.. you son of a bitch!!"

I stood up right away. The thing that happening front of my eyes was... Darong kicked the head of the octopus-head man. I think his kick was hit directly that octopus perverted jerk was having a nose bleed on both of his nostrils. Because of this surprised attack, octopus-head pervert was in panic and stood up and grabbed the knife on the ground and shout.

"You son of a bitch, I will kill you!"
"Kyak!"

With his slow body octopus-head was going straightly to Darong. Right then I... screamed. No.. no time for thi... this.

"Darong!"

There was no time for just screaming. Da..Darong... Darong... I removed the hands covering my face and opened my eyes. In front of my eyes...

"Ow! Ugh!!"
"...."

(kick!!)
(kick!)

The knife was... stabbed on the elevator... Octopus pervert was getting beat up by Darong. Wha.. what... happened? I barely stood up. No expression... without any expression... without any expressions... he didn't stop kicking that pervert. At first, that pervert was screaming... now he was queit, and his face was unrecognizable... because of the blood.

"Stop! Stop it!"

If I leave it like this something will happen. That octopus-head fainted and with his bloody face he was twitching. When I hugged his back and shout right away, he stopped what he was doing.

"Da..Darong.."

I'm more scared because of you! You are just a pet, you can scare me like this? Slowly he looked at me. His expression was something... Something was really confusing him. There is something... I don't know in his eyes. He put his hand up... and wiped away my tears on my face.

"...."

You... are back to... normal? Just now... Did that triggered something in his mind? Really... deep looking eyes. Somehow... he might cry very soon... full of something.. At first he was wiping my tears with one hand, and now he was holding my face with two hands.

"...."

I frozed right there. Because his face was right front of my nose. Did his memory come back? It's like same scene as in this one drama. Main character guy wiped away main character girl's tear with his lips... My heart started to pump like crazy, and it might pop. For a long time, Darong wiped my tears with his lips... slowly raised his head, and I'm not sure if I'm mistaking, but he was himself again. Vacant face. And he opened his mouth.

"Food."
"....Huh?"
"Food."

The word he said with vacant face... it was one of the three words Darong can speak, the first word. Food. After I heard that, I lost all of my strength and tension, and cussed at my heart for pumping. I thought... he came back to normal.. and thought I was going to have a good looking guy. Food? Food? Were you that hungary to think my tear was water? You bastard!

(Punch)

I got mad. I pressed the button to reactivate the elevator.

(Machine sound)

Soon it was already 17th floor. I glared at the octopus head and shouted.

"Perverted son of a bitch! Go die!"

(Kick)

I kicked him and came out. I was about to open the door with the key, but Darong was still in the elevator staring at me. For putting hopes up for him... I felt sorry. Anyhow he saved me, but I didn't even thank him but frowned at him...

"Darong. If you don't come soon no food for you."

I didn't say that loud; however, he is an animal soon he came out from the elevator. When I went inside the house, I told him.

"You used a lot of energy today. I will give you double."
"....."

His eyes were sparkling, and that day I decided to train him well. Better to have a body guard pet. Hehe, it looks good. Hahaha!
