Drenched and breathless Jessy arrives at jina's room.
As soon as he was about to ask what happened, he saw Lora a girl in class G10.
She's Jessie's crush.
Having a Tall and fit stature with beautiful blue eyes blond curly hair.
"Smelly what are you doing here? Can't you be more rude?" Lora said angrily.
"That's my brother, it's Jessy!" Jina replied astonishingly.
"The doctors say that she collapsed from exhaustion and malnutrition, are you proud of yourself? How can you call yourself a brother? "
'Apparently, I am not the only one working side jobs eh?' Thought Jessy looking at Lora's outfit.
She clearly worked as a nurse in this hospital.
"You are right." He said with eyes full of shame.
He worked himself to the bone day and night to support Jina but it's clearly not enough.
Covering her nose Lora left the room and gently closed the door "I am waiting outside if you wanted anything just press on that button beside the bed and a nurse will come and help you".
Sitting next to his sister, Jess was too tired that he slept there the whole night.
Snoring and talking in his sleep like a sleep deprived patient, but…. Maybe he actually is.
In the morning he woke up upon overhearing nurses whispering.
"What a guy! Not only does he smell but he also snores???"
"Yeah I could hear him yesterday from the corridor"
'Man, I really am a public enemy now'
He glanced at the table before him… somethings different.
'An envelope?'
'Jina has a lover? Wa… wait is that my name on it?'
Jessy immediately opened the envelope, it was from Mr Zain the math teacher!
Astonished Jess sat down again at his chair not believing his eyes.
'Maybe my love for math paid in the end'
Not only did Mr Zain paid the hospital fees but he also inside the envelope he left something.
A job opportunity flyer.
Jessy checked the details of the flyer, it was a bodyguard job.
With a puzzled look on his face 'is this a joke?' Jess thought.
Jessy is tall with broad shoulders and a good physique for a 16 year old, however, he was not experienced in martial arts.
His combat experience consisted of being beaten in school and in some street fights.
Jessy kept analysing the flyer carefully, he noticed that the job involved being a bodyguard for the famous businessman Lazordy Akula.
'What the absolute… how is that monthly salary? Just where did Mr Zain found such a job'
He used to make a total of 1200 per month by working in a fish market and a waiter.
But this job will get him a net salary of 7000 and that excluding the bonus he will get upon mission completion!
But what are these missions going to be like? But it doesn't matter for Jessy anymore.
"I am done being a joke, I will take this job no matter the excercises I need to go through"
From Jessie's POV.
He will not only be more effective as now he will spend less time and get more time but he will also be actively training to defend himself against Thomas's group of bullies.
More time to study, sleep and for his sister.
He should spend more time with her as a brother, listen to her problems, give her hope, etc..
After reading the flyer for the third time, Jessy looked down at his soaked clothes, still carrying the stench of old fish, sweat, and rain.
He let out a tired sigh and walked out of the room.
A nurse tried to stop him, but Lora, arms crossed, spoke before she could.
"He can use the staff shower. Just air it out after he's done."
Jessy paused. "Thanks."
"Don't thank me. Just don't make her cry again."
The water was warm. For the first time in what felt like forever, Jessy stood under the stream and just… breathed.
The smell started to fade.
So did the weight.
When he walked out, clean clothes borrowed from a spare hospital set, Lora looked up from her phone surprised. Almost didn't recognize him.
Jessy said nothing. He returned to Jina's room, dried off and quiet.
He picked up the flyer one more time, eyes clearer now.
"This time, I'm not just surviving. I'm coming for everything they said I couldn't have
