“Have you been waiting for me for a long time?”A sea-blue sliced youth had just arrived, with hasty steps and hunting breaths. At that moment he saw a girl who seemed to be sitting on the bench of the faculty garden where he was carrying knowledge, the sweet hue he could see was weakening his defenses. Despite running around the world for the sake of this girl, she was willing. As long as this girl is.

The girl shook her head slowly “No, I also just arrived.”His words blushed red with a timid smile.

But after that the look of his face turned disappointed, because honestly what he was waiting for was not this dimpled young man “If... Professor Jevan is not as sweet as Theo, if like Theo, I must have chosen you.”He said it ended with breath.

The girl's words managed to raise next to her thick eyebrows “Indeed, what is the relationship between this sweet Luna and Theo?”The lie if he does not understand the meaning of the girl's words, he is very very understanding to not have the heart to hurt his feelings even though the feeling of tightness has tickled his chest “I joke Luna.”The young man chuckled as he pinched the girl's cheek.

“Jevandres Altair Lascelles. Sucks.”The girl puffed her cheeks.

“But, it's even more annoying to see Brother Theo close to the new junior class.”

It seems that the shady aquamerine iris understood it “Already. If it is true, Jevandres is still empty for a Luna. How?”He said with a sweet smile, to the point of facing a pair of dimples on both cheeks.

“You crazy brother Jev? What if Bina finds out that you're flirting with another girl?”

“What if I want Luna instead of Bina?”

“You've got too much out of Jev's way?!”

There was nothing less than this young man. Handsome, beautiful, and sweet. Her warm personality always smiled lightly, plus the shady gaze of a pair of ocean-clear aquamarines staring adoring this girl named Luna. It seems that his feelings are only one-handed clapping, bitter reality must be received “Theo is only friends with him, besides that junior is also my junior during school. Nothing to worry about, I'm sure she won't be like that Luna.”With a smile forced by the young man named Jevandres Altair Lascelles, he still spoke softly to her.

“Thank you, Jevan! You are my best brother.”The girl said as she thrust her body into the young man's body.

Unlike Jevan who even returned his embrace. Older brother. The word rang in his eyes, painfully. She waited for the girl for years and struggled to return to Seoul after spending part of her teenage years in another country, defying the authoritarian nature of her extended family for the sake of a Luna. But only considered as a big brother figure for him. Jevan is undeniable, he regretted not admitting sooner than the figure this girl admired. He's too late. Jevandres could only clench his hands.

“Guys..”.The two turned to the voice that interrupted them at this moment.

A young man with a brunette mane ruffled by the wind arrived in a hurry. Same with Jevandres. He stepped up quickly “Luna! Sorry I'm late, there's unfinished class.”

The summoned Luna, of course, recognized the sweet voice of the zambrud-sliced youth.he let go of his embrace with Jevandres, and easily rushed into the body of the tall man “You are late Brother Theo, and, I've been waiting for you since. Do you think it's good to wait long?”Luna protested by putting her face on while pursing her lips back.

Theo who was being nagged, just laughed blandly. He scratched his nape that did not itch “Sorry-sorry, really just suddenly there was an agenda with the children in the office. Right Jev? Oh, yeah, why are you here? Don't you have to be on the radio station?”Theo deliberately diverted the conversation. Even with his misery took Jevandres who looked at the two of them with a difficult look to decipher.

“Of course, I have to go to the radio station after this.”

“Woah, you are really hardworking.”

Jevandres smiled thinly “You're right.”He agreed with the young man's remark, there was actually no need for a Jevandres to bash hard to work. He was born into a wealthy family, and should not live in distress. He was willing to slam the steering wheel of life in order to chase after this girl in front of him.

“I forgot!”Theo to hit his own forehead “Luna, Come with me for a minute. I left something at the office.”

Is Theo waiting for Luna's reply? Or just waiting for him to say yes or no? Of course he did not, he immediately left Jevandres who was still sculpting. Even he held Luna's delicate hand to be with him.

Abandoned without a word, Jevandres chose to leave the place with a lazy indifferent, cold and puffing gaze. It's like knowing Theo was just about to heat up. He also did not bother to return to the faculty, because he himself still wanted to go to the bathroom to just wash his face with water. At least it can reduce his sense of emotion that at any time can explode out.

Jevandres does have a personality and a beautiful face, in fact, there are many women who have it on campus or outside. His name is indeed familiar, as a young lecturer as well as the only son of a rich and influential family.

But for Jevandres, he just wanted to feel free to choose his path for a moment by cutting off communication with his family. This is where he returned to, in the city where he was as a child to work as well as take a side job as a radio broadcaster. When the young man entered the men's toilet, Jevandres headed straight for the sink while draining water from the tap. He washed his face first, then flicked the bangs back and saw his reflection from the mirror.

“Patience a little.”His words ended with breath.

Jevandres did not want to linger, he glanced at the clock on his wrist. Then without doing anything else, he immediately went out of the men's toilet.

Just coming out, a pair of Jevandres aquamarine irises caught the figure of a sweet girl standing with a piece of paper she was holding. Nope. But crumpled it to the point of almost tearing. The two clenched hands held back the emotions, but the overwhelming look on the beautiful face was only silent calmly. Jevandres was also interested to see a pair of irises of different colors unique to the girl looking straight ahead.

Jevandres followed the direction of his gaze. He saw Theo and Luna walking together. He understood the direction of the little girl's gaze, which was probably only as high as her chest. However, from the calm of his gaze as well as his fist. I don't know if he reminds her of something.

“Rigel..”.Call Jevandres to him.

The girl turned her head, Jevandres immediately smiled knots complete with small holes on both cheeks. Dimples. It's so sweet at the same time.

“Rigel, why are you silent and just standing there?”Jevandres said as he approached her.

The girl began to clumsy, she also scratched her non-itchy nape “No. It's okay.”

Jevandres just looked at him first, even he was silent so that created a pause between the two long enough. He also broke his dark brown mane. Once in a while smiling knots, again clinging to a pair of dimples on his cheeks.

“Tumben, not with Theo?”Jevandres asked with a brief piquancy. While glancing at Theo and Luna who had already disappeared from his sight.

“Do not know. Maybe with his girlfriend.”Further again.

“You okay, Rigel?”

The girl nodded slowly “Iya sis, I'm fine.”

Jevandres accidentally saw a piece of paper held by Rigel “Ah... It seems that our Rigel, managed to pass the scholarship?”Say “Congratulations!”Jevandres.

“A... This, yes thank you!”

“As my congratulations, how about we have lunch together?”

“Tight tid—“

“I force. Come.”Jevandres said with his wrists and took him along to walk together.

The new rain has just fallen. The cold still felt, even though both of them were already inside a restaurant. It seems that the cold weather outside is enough to make the atmosphere of the two become cold, because the two of them secretly freeze the atmosphere. Awkward of course. Jevandres only glanced silently at the girl in front of him.

Jevandres chose the order, when the waitress of the restaurant arrived at their table. After a while, the food ordered arrived with a small amount. Quite tempting, let alone pieces of fried chicken wrapped in spicy sauce with sesame sprinkles on top of it “I hope you are not afraid of fat.”Jevandres joked to Rigel at the time.

“Unfortunately, I do not care about that. said my mother should not waste sustenance because it is not good.”Said the girl in a serious tone. Even the look of his face looks happy, can be seen with his smile, especially when he took the chopsticks near his hand and then chopped the pieces of chicken into his mouth.

This girl with different irises rounded her eyes “Enak.”He said he ate another piece of chicken.

“Until now I never thought I'd see you again sis.”

Jevandres immediately gave his gaze, turned to look at the girl in front of him “Ah Yes...you are my junior sister when High School now we meet in Seoul with the same university as well. I was surprised to see you at the welcoming of new students.”His words were accompanied by a gentle laugh.

“S-already four years ago huh?”Rigel said with caution.

“What does Brother Jevan teach here?”

“True, until now I also did not expect to still be able to meet you.”Jevandre, inexplicably interested in this girl's behavior. He was clumsy, shy and very natural. Different from Luna. Why did Jevandres suddenly think of the girl? With a little shaking Jevandres chose to continue his eating activities.

Rigel nodded slowly “A..I'm sorry.”.Stir Rigel slowly.

After hearing that Jevandres felt a little surprised, he also looked at the face of Rigel who seemed to look down with doubt “Indeed you why?”Ask Jevandres.

“I..”The girl stopped talking when her phone vibrated, she reached into her pants pocket and then stared at the flat screen for a moment “It turns out I still have class.”Rigel looked at him hesitantly

So this meeting felt short. Make Jevandres can not deny if he also felt a little disappointed.

“It's okay..”He tries to understand.

“But next time we have lunch together huh?”He continued without a pleading tone but, with a serious look. Hopefully with this look the sweet girl in front of him also obeyed.

“Sure, thank you very much kak.”Rigel then nodded politely, and even the look on his face seemed unkind to leave Jevandres. He had to leave the restaurant in a hurry.

Jevandres looked at her, the girl who had attracted his attention since earlier. Somehow Jevandres felt attracted to the little girl.before his phone also vibrated, he reached into the flat object nan box. Jevandres was lazy for a moment, when he found phone contact from someone he had avoided the most during this time. More precisely this half year. With a lazy sigh he also picked up the phone connection.

“I've taken care of our divorce.”

“Je-jevan..finally you picked up my phone. I'm sorry, but I don't understand where I went wrong. We can finish well.”Said someone across the phone.

“The mistake is with you, Bina. After all, it's just a match, you're just like me. Forced.”Jevandres glanced at his watch for a moment making sure he still had time before returning to work.

“I'm sorry, because of me you can't fight for your love for Luna.”A groaning voice from across the phone was heard at the end of his sentence.

“Oh is true, and again. If that time forget it, then I was drunk. Assume nothing happened to us.”Jevandres said holding back his almost ignited anger.

“Ta-but Jev listen to me for a minute.”.

“I'll go to work Bina, see you.”Jevandres cut off the phone. He let out a long sigh, then lightly kneaded his temple. The woman's soft voice did not change at all. Even though he never made a mistake, the woman always gave up first. Too naive. Jevandres himself immediately turned off his phone, when the contact of the woman's name was again visible on the screen of his phone.

“The mistake is I never wanted you, Bina.”Jevandres' soft roar had turned serious, his gaze staring intently ahead. Opening something empty “Everything should end Bina. You're not Aphrodite I'm looking for.”Further again.
