EMBRACE YOU: Presence & Poison
Episodes 118

...

“What? What with you knowing everything then will repay and feel indebted to me?? What about you alone? Were you going to tell me who was bothering you?? Nor will I always understand and see everything that happens to you!” I didn't expect Bayu to be this fast

talk about me and now this guy is angry.

His cold face, his serious gaze and the gloomy situation. A few seconds ago, we were not like this.

“Do you realize you haven't changed since then? When you decided to leave me without explaining what happened to you!”

“Because I don't want to trouble you with my business!”

“See! You still think like that! Then what do I mean to you? Am I just a girlfriend's display?”

“You don't trust me either ‘ right? You hid everything you did for me because I was incapable of doing anything great!!” My breath hunts to say it.

I'm upset, mad at him!

I didn't expect it to be like this. As a couple, unknowingly we still haven't fixed our mistakes in the past. I'm afraid that this way will continue to impact in the future.

Bayu looked at me with a gloomy face, his ears flushed and his jaw clenched hard.

“I'll be sorted out. Take me home! I have so much to do!” I turned around and left him.

Maybe this is the best for now, we have to cool each other's heads.

“You're still the same, blurred at a time like this!” My footsteps who climbed the stairs stopped hearing Bayu's voice.

I turned around to find him standing looking at me on the lower steps. “We must cool our heads to speak!”

“No! We have to finish it now!” Again Bayu held my leg.

Finally I stepped down and stopped at two steps higher than her footing to keep us the same height.

“I did one task to negotiate with the scientist so that he could quickly make the antidote.” Bayu's tone of voice now sounded lower and began to calm down.

“What is dangerous duty??” I asked.

There was a look of doubt and a long pause before Bayu answered.

“Yes. That's dangerous duty.”

“What task is it?!”

“….Bringing home the daughter of a Japanese conglomerate brought by the Asian mafia king to hongkong.”

“Self?”

“Ya, alone.” I was speechless to hear it, imagining what obstacles he took and what he faced alone left me completely inexhaustible.

“When and how long?”

“Now it's my turn!” I saw a serious change in his eyes, but I kept silent waiting for the next remark.

“Since when can you use sign language? Why did you learn it? Are you giving up on your health?” Her eyes were red, her tone was full of emphasis but I could feel sadness in her words.

“Since I decided you. The first time I couldn't get my voice out, I became frightened and chose to learn sign language because who knows maybe my voice will disappear in the future.” My voice was getting smaller at the end of the sentence.

“What has been bothering you since?” I asked again to remember Bayu's expression in the market that was just silent.

“Yes! I was waiting for you to tell me directly, but you didn't say it!” As Bayu's breath hunted, I saw a drop of tears coming out from the corner of his eye.

Did I hurt her so deeply? I didn't expect this man to be sad just because of this.

“I didn't know you were waiting for me to talk. I thought you knew about my investigation before we met again.” My tone now sounded low, I felt guilty and the anger that had once ruled me just vanished.

“I won't investigate you until like that. I respect your privacy and want you to be more open to me about everything. About your pain or your happiness!” I stepped closer to him when I saw another drop of this man's tears. His nose and eyes were flushed quickly.

“I'm so tight I just saw you talking to Sonia this morning. I'm a stupid guy who doesn't even know anything like that! I told you once that I wanted to give you a world-wide happiness. I really want to give it to you. I want to fight for your happiness, I want to erase your pain as well.

More than anyone in the world, I want you to always be happy.” Now I can feel my eyes filled with tears. No one ever said this directly to me.

“If that's what calms you down, if that's what erases your worries from now on I'll do it.” There was relief in the look in his eyes as I said in as gentle a tone as possible.

“But I also want you to tell me what you fought for me. Because when you're doing it, at least let me worry about you.” Both of my hands lifted, wiping away the trace of tears at the corner of her lips and smilingly found Bayu muttering softly in agreement.

“And you can tell me anything, how your day is, whatever you do or what you think. I want to know everything about you! We are not a perfect couple, but let's fix it little by little from now on because I want you to accompany me for the rest of my life.” My whisper in front of his face, staring at how his gaze was only on me.

Bayu did not speak, he only nodded in agreement. I smiled widely and immediately hugged her neck tightly, carrying her head to lean on my shoulder.

“Thank you for thinking of me and forgive me for always worrying you.” Whisper in front of his ears.

Then I felt Bayu's hands hugging my waist, getting tighter and tighter leading me into his arms.

Then I heard the sound of his long breath, his body felt more relaxed and not tense. “Sorry for yelling at you, sister!”

Now that I can laugh at her, like all of us in High School, Bayu will call me sister if she feels very guilty and wants me to forgive her immediately.

“Sister, you've worked hard to protect me. I will keep my promise to hug you as much as today.”

“Although I know I will never be satisfied with just hugging you, but I will try to enjoy it.” My cheeks were hot hearing her words.

I tried to push her out of her tight embrace but Bayu was too strong to hold me. “Lease! You fucking pervert!”

“Heheh wins what do you think? I'm just trying to enjoy your embrace. You're the one thinking pervert, you naughty girl!” Bayu laughed with satisfaction.

Out of annoyance suddenly a crazy idea came to light. Both of my palms moved to touch her neck and then without thinking about it I kissed her neck deeply.

I knew Bayu stiffened instantly and his two hands that had been holding me tightly squeezed until I could push him off.
