3 Months Girlfriend
Chapter 24: The Pain

Day after day Bren and Elle's ice cream parlor is getting crowded. Actually, this ice cream shop has been crowded since the beginning of its opening. However, every day somehow becomes more crowded. Sometimes it is hard to get a table.

Like today. Since the whole table was full, they finally chose to take their order home and eat it in the park not far from the ice cream shop.

About the oversized clothes that Bren had given him, Elle still uses them. Because they haven't been able to return home after school. Elle's been having Bren take her home first. However, Bren did not at least endorse Elle's request.

While in the park, of course Elle became the attention of some people. There was even a child who was blatantly laughing at Elle's appearance. It made Elle pursed his lips in annoyance. Being the center of attention has always been successful in making Elle feel uncomfortable.

However, Bren repeatedly tells Elle that Elle is adorable. That's why everyone is watching him. Reason that Elle could not accept at all. Adorable what? Embarrassment, yes!

The ice cream shop is pretty shitty. Especially in the park! Much more annoying. Because more children are playing there, or just passing by holding their parents' hands. The little ones of course did not gossip, but they looked at Elle with astonished gazes that could not be hidden.

Bren and Elle sat on the swing while enjoying the scenery around them. Occasionally Elle slightly pushed her soles to the ground and caused the swing she was sitting on to swing slowly.

Flowers bloom amid the cold autumn breeze. What a sweet sight, as sweet as an ice cream in Elle's hand. However, the look of Elle's face was inversely proportional to the ice cream in his grip. Because the look on Elle's face is now far from sweet, more precisely sour.

"Even the little ones make fun of me! It's all because of the clothes you gave me!" elle lamented as she stuffed ice cream into her mouth, as her eyes caught a child laughing after seeing her.

Bren slipped a strand of Elle's hair behind her ear. "They're not mocking you."

Elle turned her head and stared fiercely at Bren. "They laughed when they saw me!"

"That's because you're adorable, Sweetheart."

Elle grunting. "Well, my as*!"

Bren chuckled softly. He put both his hands in his jacket pocket. "i'm serious. You're adorable. Besides, if anyone makes fun of you, you just ignore it. Problem solved."

"Your friend mocked me earlier," Elle muttered in passing.

"Again, it's not easy to ignore people who make fun of you. You might say you'll ignore it. But your brain will keep thinking about their mockery." Elle continued with a look forward.

Bren raised one eyebrow. "Who?"

"What?" Elle asked back with a confused face.

"My friend mocking you?"

"Of course Sara and Tyler" said Elle still trying to look indifferent. "Tyler even wrapped a slinger around my body. Said I look more—"

Bren flicked his hand once. With a small laugh, he said, "Sara and Tyler were just joking. They like to joke. You don't have to take them seriously."

"Isn't something considered joking if both sides laugh? I'm not laughing at all. Only they laugh!"

"Then you just have to laugh. Then their actions will become a matter of joke."

Elle bit her big ice cream cone. Bren will definitely defend his friend! It's free to tell Bren at length.

"You angry?"

Elle flicked her shoulders. "Why am I angry?"

"Just make sure. Who knows you're mad at something."

"I'm not—" said Elle disconnected when the cramps felt in her stomach. The ice cream cone in his hand fell to the ground. He immediately came down from the swing and rested on the ground while holding his stomach.

"Elle! What the hell's going on? Are you all right?" Bren looks panicked when checking Elle's condition.

"I'll take you to the hospital. Hang on," he said, lifting Elle in bridal style, and taking her in the car.

Without a second thought Bren immediately took Elle to a nearby hospital. Elle was rushed to the IGD¹ room.

"It looks like he's ice cream poisoning! He was eating the ice cream we bought, before he suddenly had a stomachache" Bren explained.

The doctor and nurse nodded their heads and immediately checked on Elle.

Bren pulled her hair back. "How's he doing, Doc?" tanyanya was impatient.

After finishing checking on Elle and talking briefly with the nurse. The female doctor who examined Elle, smiled towards Bren.

"Your boyfriend is fine, son. You don't have to worry. He didn't get maknan poisoned. He only had stomach cramps from menstruation."

A sigh of relief Bren airs. Gratitude Elle is fine. If not, then Bren will be confused how to explain everything to the Elle family.

Elle fell asleep after taking her period pain medication. He woke up when the sky was dark. Elle turned towards a hand that was holding her hand. Bren is still waiting for him.

A smile on Elle's lips. Bren's hands were warm and Elle didn't want to take them off. Bren fell asleep with his seat and head resting on Elle's bed mattress. The position of his body was very uncomfortable, as he completely ducked down.

As Bren's head moves. Elle hurriedly closed her eyes. He didn't want their finger link to come off. If, Bren knows that Elle has woken up, Elle fears Bren will release her hand from Elle.

Bren is awake. And Elle felt that. Because now, Elle felt a long enough kiss on the back of her hand. Elle opened her eyes slightly to peek at Bren's face because she was very curious.

"I know you're awake" whispered Bren.

This obviously made Elle embarrassed and caused his face to blush. However, the hue on Elle's face was misinterpreted by Bren.

Bren held Elle's cheeks with both hands to make Elle's lips conical as a result of getting pressure from both cheeks gathered in Bren's palm.

"I'll be right back" Bren said as he quickly opened the curtain.

Sharon's face was seen when the curtains had been perfectly opened. Bren doesn't care about Sharon's whereabouts. But Elle cares.

"You think you're just friends, and you're not that close?" sharon said as she stared alternately at Elle and Bren.

Bren just wanted to say, "It's none of your business!"

However, Elle first said as she waved her hand quickly, "We are indeed just friends. Bren just happened to pass by when I was about to faint from menstrual pain."

Bren was bothered by the explanatory sentence thrown by Elle. They agree to keep their relationship a secret from their school friends. I don't know why he was disturbed.

Bren doesn't know the cause! He just doesn't like it.
