Anna, Hug Me
Episode 5's

🌻🌻🌻

Silence seemed to envelop the two people who embraced each other in the dark library room. Both of them seemed to be drowning with their own thoughts.

"Why can't you accept me?" ask Dima raucous. He stopped himself from crying.

"You always know my answer. You're just stuck with your little elf. You're just obsessed with me, sober up."

"I really love you" said Dima again. Although Angel has rejected him many times, but he does not want to give up.

"We are like brothers. You and I were very close from childhood. I've considered Daniel my brother just as you consider Hans your brother, that's how we are. Be aware and stop wandering around me. Let me find my own love."

"Are you bothered by my attention?"

"Honestly, yes. So stop chasing me and find your own love."

This time Dima was silent. The tears that welled up in her eyes could not forcefully drip down her cheeks. As time passed Angel's rejection of her seemed more and more real. There was nothing left for him to get out of that comfort zone.

"Did I mean nothing all this time?"

"You have always meant something to me like my brother, nothing more. You're always around me looking after me and I'm used to it. It's just that my heart doesn't love you, I don't even beat because of you" Angel said. He had said it repeatedly but Dima was always stubborn.

Dima took off his embrace. He turned his face to the girl in front of him. The face he knew was dazzling even in the dark.

"Let me kiss you one last time. I promise I won't wander around you anymore" Dima said in a very quiet voice.

Angel knows Dima is crying but after all Dima has to face the fact that he cannot give her heart.

"Alright," said Angel at last. He was preparing to kiss while tilting his face. But Dima stopped him.

"Close your eyes, I want to see you first."

Dima wanted to see the girl ari close. No, the real reason was that he had gotten used to seeing Angel even though the girl had not seen him, when he was very close to her. And now the girl who currently doesn't see him wants him to become completely invisible.

Dima stroked the face in front of him. His forehead, his nose, his eyes, his cheeks, his chin, the last time he touched his lips. Beautiful and sweet lips. He still remembers the taste of his lips when they kissed all night at prom night. This time he had to kiss her one last time. How is he not sick?

Dima turns his lips closer and kisses Angel deeply. She cried. He was crying, he could even taste the saltiness in his kiss but he didn't care this might be the last chance he had. He shed all his feelings for 11 years of being a devotee of the fairy. He has given up now.

Dima quits his kiss when he feels Angel has difficulty breathing. He immediately realized and apologized.

Angel awkwardly got up from Dima's lap.

Dima also got up from his seat. "Do you want to stay here or go back to the hostel?" tanyakanya.

"I have to go back."

"All right, I'll drive you."

They then clean up. Dima folded his blanket and jacket and put them in his backpack. While Angel collects all the books scattered and put his laptop in a bag.

They both walked in silence. It was early, the weather was very cold and the conditions outside were still very dark.

Dima took his bike and hugged Angel. Their journey was smooth without any interruptions. It didn't feel like they had arrived in front of the dorm.

"Other times put an alarm don't let you sleep anywhere" Dima said as he rode his bike and passed away.

That fast gone? inner Angel. He felt strange because Dima did not usually just leave him.

"Thank you" cried Angel as Dima moved further away. Dima waved only one hand without looking.

Angel may not have noticed it yet, but tonight is the last night she sees Dima as a person she knows. Because by the time he met Dima tomorrow, he had become someone different from the Dima he had ever known.
