Billkin's POV

PP and I were forced to wade through the rising waters after we both got out of my car to get to the Supplication to the Divine temple.

I had a large thick transparent umbrella but I decided that it was useless to open it and place it over our heads. I brought it with me anyway for whatever use I could get out of it.

I placed my arm around PP who was now shivering, his clothes soaked through and through and so was mine.

"We don't have to make a run for it," I told him. "We're already wet anyway. We have a hundred steps to go before we can reach the top so let's do it slowly so that we aren't dead tired but the time we get there."

PP just nodded, his teeth starting to chatter in the cold.

"Easy does it," I said to PP when we started the climb. "Remember the Chinese saying 'the journey of a thousand miles start with a single step'?"

Again PP just nodded. I guess he was trying to conserve his energy by not talking.

We were both panting hard by the time we reached the top.

We entered the lobby that was already teeming with people. They were waiting to be called by the monk in charge of providing them rooms.

We were instructed by another monk to go to a desk to tear out a page from a small notepad and to write our names on it. Then he took the paper and handed it to the monk in charge. He told us to wait for our names to be called.

I asked the monk if he could provide us with a change of dry clothes. He informed me that there would be dry clothes and towels and blankets inside the room that we would be assigned to. I thanked him and I guided PP to a corner of the lobby. I enveloped him in my arms and hoped that I would be able to transmit the warmth of my body to his.

Suddenly he started to sob into my chest.

"I miss Pa and Ma" he said between sobs.

"I miss my parents, too," I said, feeling my tears starting to form in my eyes.

His parents had gone to Singapore for business while my parents had gone to South Korea for business as well. We had been able to contact them just before the storm hit. We had promised to keep them posted about our safety.

"Billkin and PP!"

We finally heard our names being called by the monk in charge of assigning us rooms to stay in.

We approached him and confirmed our names to him.

"You are being assigned to room 36," he announced. "Go down that hallway on your left. Rooms with even numbers will be on the right side of the hallway."

"Thank you," I said.

With my arm draped around PP's shoulder, I guided him towards the hallway that the monk in charge indicated.

We found room 36. The door was wide open and we heard voices from inside before we even entered it.

We paused at the doorway. There were four other guys inside. It looked like we had to share the room with them.

One of them looked up from his phone and asked, "Were you assigned to this room?"

"If this is room 36, then yes," I replied.

Another one of them stood up and approached us.

"Come, I will show you to the two available beds on the right side of this room," he said smiling, his eyes on PP with an admiring look. He looked very young, maybe no more than fifteen.

"You're very good looking," he said to PP.

"Thank you, I think you are too," PP responded.

I felt my hackles rising but I kept my peace. This kid was just a teenager but he was bigger and taller than I was. I didn't want to make an enemy out of him.
