The Bored Immortal-Novel

"Dorian, you are bleeding! Let me take you to the infirmary, come!" Sayana grabbed Dorian's hand without thinking and pulled him along downstairs. She was feeling extremely guilty for letting Dorian get hurt in her place.

Before, when she came to her senses, she was feeling bad about what she had done, but now, looking at the trickle of blood on Dorian's forehead, Sayana didn't feel much bad anymore. Instead, she was feeling a burning sensation in her chest.

She could only hold in that heavy feeling in her chest and was unable to meet his eyes out of guilt.

Viktor wasn't surprised that these senior boys had no restraint. The amount of force they used to strike his head was enough to knock out someone and probably cause some serious damage.

But since it was him and he was still in his human form, he got out of it with just a small tear on his temple.

Still, looking at the soft hand holding his own made him take a second look at this introverted yet fearless girl. Now that she was not even wearing her specs, he felt that she truly looked like a graceful and lovely fairy with an exotic aura, especially due to her red hair and green eyes.

When they entered the infirmary, the doctor seemed to be out for a tea break, and there was a button to call for the doctor in case of emergency situations.

Sayana was about to press it when Dorian stopped her and said, "No need to disturb the doctor. I can just clean this myself and apply a band. And I will be good to go."

Sayana wanted to protest, but he seemed quite adamant about not calling the doctor. Still, she said, "Okay, but I will help you clean it. Come, sit here. Let me take the first aid kit."

"Okay!" Viktor nodded with a smile as he sat down on the bed and pulled the curtains to the side so that others on the outside won't see him getting treated.

Sayana came towards him with a box and took out some cotton from a cotton roll and some saline solution to clean his wound gently as she held his face.

She seemed too engrossed in treating him, she had no idea this kind of situation would usually make her blush like an apple.

Viktor also knew this and softly smiled, feeling amused by thinking about it. He was also surprised by how good Sayana was at treating his wound.

However, her eyes seemed a bit teary, and seeing her like that made Viktor feel a sore sensation in his chest.

'Did I push her too hard?' Viktor knew he faked the whole thing, but in the end, he wanted to do it for her and was about to ask if she was okay.

Sayana bit her lips and couldn't hold it in any longer as she asked in a feeble voice before he could say anything, "Why did you do it? I could have protected you, and you wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Her tone wasn't chiding but was asking out of pure curiosity since nobody ever was willing to take a strike to the head for her, let alone help her out for petty things.

"Because you are my friend, and I wanted nothing bad to happen to you. All I wanted was to protect you. I am sorry if I made you sad, but I would still do it again no matter who I am up against," Sayana felt her heart skip a beat hearing his sincere words right after he apologized.

Viktor meant what he said since he was ready to protect her from any threat no matter how big, and this was not because she was Umilia's daughter but because he wanted to.

She unconsciously moved her gaze towards his dark brown eyes and held her breath when she saw him looking at her as well with a deep look, making her feel as if she was getting pulled into his eyes.

She felt her heart thump as she quickly evaded her gaze in a flustered manner, wondering why he was increasingly becoming so charming in her eyes to the point she just couldn't stop thinking about him.

"You look even more pretty without the specs. Tss…that stings…" Viktor put up a slight grimace as she cleaned his injury. But he felt that she should know how good she looked without the specs, and he wanted to know if she really needed it.

"D-Do you really think so?" Sayana asked as she felt her face warming up and began to feel self-conscious.

"Of course. I feel like you are even more pretty than some of the girls the other boys consider to be very pretty. If you can see clearly without it, why put it on?" He curiously asked.

Sayana dressed his wound as she said, "It's not that I want to, but sometimes my vision gets blurry, and my specs help me see things properly during those times. I don't know why I have these strange vision problems, and Aunt Taya said it might have something to do with my body constitution and that one day it will fix itself."

'Hmm…must be her odic force switching between the dormant and active state,' Viktor deduced something and felt that this was because she never made use of odic force in her life, making her prone to problems like these.

Umilia had told him that there was a very small chance of ordinary humans being born with an Odic Heart, and if they never nurtured their power to draw on it, then they would remain an ordinary human till they die.

Awareness of the odic force was the key for people like these. Otherwise, there would be no difference at all.

Sayana finally finished dressing up his wound and had a satisfied look on his face seeing that he was alright even after taking such a violent hit to the head. Still, she was worried and looked at him as she said, "Even if I have cleaned up your wound, you have to let the doctor do a check on you, okay? We have to be careful."

Viktor saw how adamant she was about this and smiled as he nodded, "Okay! Don't worry about it."

He then felt something budding in his heart as he suddenly got up and hugged her.
