Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
I Like You

That afternoon Chloe decided to go to the back of the dorm, where the rose garden is located. What he heard from Neil the rose garden was often used as a resting place by members of the dormitory. So Chloe also wants to try to be as good as her place.

She slowly opened the kitchen door that connected with the rose garden, The first thing Chloe saw was the sight of thousands of roses consisting of various types of roses, Even black roses that were said to be rare were also here.

The girl was amazed to see the beautiful scenery in front of her, her footsteps approached the long chair that was deliberately placed there so that the members of the dorm can relax to enjoy the beauty of the expanse of roses.

"I would have come here often if the rose garden was this good," muttered Chloe with a small smile. He sat down and inhaled the scent of some roses. While enjoying the flowers around her, the girl remembered Neil's words. How did the man know that he accepted this contract just to get money?

Even though the magenta-spirited man looked mediocre, Dimata Chloe he was a bit suspicious. Even so, Chloe chose to ignore it. He just remembered wanting to see Justin and anyway Chloe had to pay for the administration of his father's treatment.

The girl then stood up, She plucked a white rose that still had its thorns. He deliberately brought scissors to cut the thorns. After cleaning his duri, he rushed away from the park area, But only a few steps of foreign voices suddenly stopped him, More precisely the rustling sound of bushes.

KRREBAK!

Chloe turned her head, Looking curious because the voice was very close to her. The girl approached the rose bushes and as quickly as lightning opened the bushes.

KRUSAKU!

Her red netra met a glance with the light brown sliced netra, for a moment Chloe was silent and blinked her eyes. Trying to recognize the figure of the man in front of him.

"Devian right?" Chloe asked hesitantly, She somewhat recognized the features of the man before her.

Devian of course gave a small nod, Justifying Chloe's guess. He shifted his gaze, Back busy picking fresh strawberries in front of him.

"What's hiding in the bushes?"

"I'm not hiding, Aiden asked me to pick some strawberries. He said he wanted to make juice and jam," said Devian still focus on his activities.

Chloe was bearded, Suddenly an idea came to her mind. He wanted to give some strawberries to the other members of the dorm and some roses too.

"Can I help? I'd like to give some strawberries to the other members,"

"Your land" replied Devian cuek.

Chloe who thought that answer was 'iya' smiled excitedly. He then took the empty basket beside Devian and helped the man pick the fruit.

**************

The fruit they picked finally gathered, Chloe had also picked a few stalks of roses that had thrown away her thorns.

He lifted the basket full of fruit and roses, then turned to Devian. "Devian is done?"

"Yes," Devian glanced at the fruit basket in Chloe's hand. "The fruit in that basket is good to eat right away, let my basket be loved to Aiden,"

"Good idea, I'll wash it first," Chloe nodded vigorously.

Chloe walked first into the kitchen area followed by Devian behind her, Devian put the strawberry fruit part into the refrigerator while Chloe's part was washed clean. The black-brown man approached Chloe and picked up one of the previously washed strawberries.

After washing, Chloe ate a strawberry. A sweet taste mixed with a little acid filled his senses, He smiled a little and ate another strawberry.

"If you want to share it with other members, just eat it with them. This strawberry is better to eat with the person you like" Devian chirped while eating one more strawberry.

"Oh, Really. Well, surely they would love it if they ate together," Chloe innocently nodded her head, impatiently dividing the strawberry with the other members.

While Devian silently smiled evil. "Just try,"

"Alright, I'll split it up now," Chloe immediately brought the basket and went to see the first member.

*************

[Felix Edricson]

Geck!  Geck!  Geck!

The first member Chloe wanted to meet was Felix, the man who had helped her from the beginning to meet until now. He waited for the owner to open the door. Not long after, the door opened revealing a man with brown eyes, when he saw Chloe. Felix immediately put on his friendly smile.

"What's Chloe doing, you need help?"

"Ah not only did she.." Chloe picked up one strawberry in the basket she was carrying, Felix waited patiently for the words Chloe would say.

"I like you, Felix, would you like to eat strawberries with me?"

JEDER!

"What?! S-like? You like me?" He repeated Chloe's words just now. Chloe nodded small with a cheerful smile.

Felix's cheeks heated up hearing him, Ah he became salting himself. His netra aqua stared in the other direction avoiding eye contact with the girl. "But we've just gotten to know, despite a married contract. I still don't know you very well. So for now we start from friends first yes,"

"Of course, I don't mind starting with friends first. I don't know Felix, either.,"

"Then why did you say you liked me?"

"Yes...Devian told me to. He said this strawberry should be eaten with people who like. It would taste better too if it was eaten together, "Said Chloe still holding a strawberry in her hand.

As Felix's expression darkened, He smiled fakely and chuckled, More precisely forced laughter. "Hahaha, so I just misunderstood ya,"

Chloe tilted her head slightly with a puzzled look, Though she only offered the strawberry she was carrying. A second later Felix's expression went back to before, Now a fake smile.

"So you're just here to share this strawberry?"

"Yes,"

"Well," Felix took one strawberry and ate it, Chloe also ate it.

Finished dividing with Felix, Chloe also gave the man a sprig of white roses. Felix didn't say anything, he just smiled and accepted.

Chloe waved softly. "I'll go first, brother,"

"Yes," Felix still smiled fakely before closing the door to his room.

"Tell me later you're Devian!" Felix thought annoyed.

[Raizel Freymon]

Geck!  Geck!  Geck!

This time the next member is Raizel, Chloe again waiting while hugging the fruit basket. The door opened revealing the figure of a black-blossomed man mixed with chocolate, at a glance as Chloe peered slightly into the man's room from behind his shoulder. The room looks messy with papers scattered everywhere, like Raizel was busy doing something in his room and Chloe accidentally disturbed the man.

"What do you want?" Ask without intonation.

Just like Felix's previous incident, Chloe took one strawberry and poked at the man.

"I like you, will Brother Raizel eat strawberries with me?"

"...." - ".Raizel's forehead shriveled after a few moments of silence, He scooped up while staring coldly. "I don't have any feelings for you, don't expect more!"

"But this is Devian telling me. He said this strawberry should be eaten with people who like. It will taste better too when eaten together," Chloe smiled sweetly, Still thrusting strawberry in her hand.

"...You're weird," said Raizel flatly, he took the strawberry from Chloe's hand and ate it.

Chloe hurriedly picked up a sprig of white roses and immediately placed it in Raizel's hands.

"May you like his rose brother Raizel,"

Raizel looked at the rose in her hand, before turning around and closing the door leaving Chloe outside her room.

Blam it!

After hearing footsteps moving away from the door of his room, Raizel looked back at the rose. Her face warmed up a little, a second later the words Chloe who said she liked her flashed.

The black-blonde man mixed with brown at the end of his hair covered his mouth with the back of his hand.

"What the hell is that kid? Though I just knew him, But somehow I feel like I wish he really liked me" Raizel murmured, feeling his face warm up.

The man then shook his head, Brushed off his thoughts just now and returned to work on the task that had been delayed.
