Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
68. We're Shy

Uncommanded, everyone at the dining table suddenly went silent. Even Aldo who had prepared food greedily and greedily put his chopsticks.

He puffed his cheeks cutely. The boy was indeed the most childish among the others. He's still busy nudging Beni. He knew Beni was the first to provoke a ruckus.

The position of those who face each other makes the situation even more tense. The five of them looked at each other in turn. But clearly the main gaze was Edo. He's the star tonight.

Edo felt like a suspect. Moreover, he knew since yesterday he was indeed the center of commotion among these friends.

Edo touched his lips again and rubbed them with the back of his hand. Although the lips were likely to meet with Seira's lips and leave a lipstick mark, but it should have been erased right? Moreover, Edo had eaten from earlier. Must have been swallowed for example there is a trace.

"Not red? Lipstick stains? Erina knows where? Beni's question also leads there." Edo wondered to himself in his heart.

Erina looked at him without blinking. The girl was the most mature of them. The smartest also eat him selected as the team leader.

"M-Have it, Er?" Edo memebrnika himself looked into the eyes of the girl whose sprightly eyes were envied by Kalula.

"Not on your lips. On your shirt collar." Erina then looked at the collar of Edo's shirt as if with a disgusted look.

Edo spontaneously groped the collar of his shirt. Ah, crap! He forgot to wear a white shirt. When touching, hugging, or with the position of Seira who likes to be close and spoiled with it, the possibility of lipstick stains sticking to it must be big.

But if it sticks to the collar of his shirt, alias near the neck area, it certainly becomes a bit suspicious. The effect is negative, right? Edo knows that. So when he looked at his collar he immediately misbehaved.

"Eh, oh, we sat down. It's Seira's lipstick sticking a little." Edo had to admit, he was ashamed to say this. Plus now all eyes are staring at him.

Oh, what reason is reasonable enough? I don't know what Edo just didn't know what to reason for.

Aldo started picking up chopsticks and chewing again. Ajeng played his bloated cheeks while glancing at Beni.

Beni who was sitting right in front of Edo was cheerful and then laughed a little.

"Why, Ben? Suspicious of nothing? Don't make accusations." Edo immediately sensitized and built a defensive fort. He knew Beni still wanted to attack him again.

Erina cleared her throat then continued eating because she probably felt the reason Edo was quite reasonable and lazy to argue again. But the sound of Beni's laughter that seemed to be softened made Erina again raise her head.

Erina knows and is sensitive when a fight is about to happen. As the leader of the children he felt the need to prevent before the quarrel occurred. Erina knew Beni the short wick and Edo was the same.

"Who is accused? Just wonder if the lipstick is sticking up to the neck." Beni laughed again.

Edo who was hungry suddenly did not taste. He began to furrow his eyebrows, a sign that his emotions were starting to be provoked.

Ah, this is how this friendship feels. Yesterday's feeling was fine. They strongly uphold the solidarity and get along from Jakarta. Now that Tokyo and Seira appear in Edo's life, this friendship begins to crack.

"Ben, I'm trying to be patient. Don't provoke an unimportant debate. Try you sit down and chat with Ajeng. Maybe if Ajeng wears thick lipsticks and white clothes, it could be the stain on the shirt. No need to provoke a debate.

Okay I know I've been hanging out with you guys the least lately. We also misunderstood and fought. I tried to get close again but it was like this. Accused.

It's just a lipstick stain but it's exaggerated as if I'm the most sinful and despicable of you." Edo's breathing began to go up and down incoherently as he said this. Maybe he tried not to explode, so his voice trembled a bit.

"Guys, we're close, right? Erina and Ajeng were also wearing lipstick. Even though my boy knows it. I also have a sister. But as close as we sit, we also often joke like our own brothers, but never your lipstick until the sticky?" Beni was not satisfied.

Edo grasps the chopsticks as if he wants to use them as a weapon and stabs Beni, but he holds it.

Erina just shut up. But the innocent Ajeng shook his head quickly.

"No! Not possible, is. We sometimes joke too outrageous but if his lips to stick to the shirt or other limbs it feels too late, deh." Ajeng commented then drank casually.

Beni laughed again. Aldo also wanted to laugh but he seemed to hold on. But still his expression was hard to cover.

Erina is the only one who is neutral and tries to control the situation. Erina was happy for Edo to come. He thought the friendship of the five of them could be saved again. But now he was suddenly pessimistic. Edo and Beni will never get along.

"Er, this isn't about the collar. I sit here so it looks great. Try to get Edo to get his head to you. Neck check. There are lipstick stains again. Not on the collar. We can all see that on the collar. But this is in the neck. On the skin." Beni then raised her eyebrows and stared meaningfully at Edo.

Edo glared at his eyes as he knew the possibility of Beni not lying. He still remembers not what happened to him and Seira a few hours ago.

His neck could no longer be saved. Edo remembered how Seira played in that area. The fur of his horse immediately brushed.

Edo had not had time to cover the neck in question, Erina immediately stood up and turned Edo's shoulders.

Erina was even somewhat dramatic. He stood up and slightly gripped the collar of Edo's shirt. A few seconds later, his eyes changed. Then he let go of the grip of his hand and sat down again limply.

Edo immediately went limp and covered his neck with his hands as if it could help him out of this situation. But everyone has seen. Erina looked later because of her sitting position.

"Ers... I'm..."

Somehow Edo felt the need to explain this to Erina. But his words stopped on their own because he was also at a loss for what to say.

"You don't. Yuki San changed her face as soon as you came and sat down beside her. I don't know why he was that. Just deepening in the heart.

But now I know. I think he saw that stain too. Jesus, Do. I don't know how far Seira is. It's none of our business. We are both adults and have our own lives despite departing from Jakarta.

We just need to take care of each other. It's up to you, Do. But if you can do it, do not be too obvious and leave a trace. Proud you? We're embarrassed to see it." Erina immediately said with her striking tone.

The deg!

Edo is slapped.

Proud you? We're ashamed!

Edo did not feel slapped again, but slaughtered. Red face. Not because of anger, but because of shame.

Oh, caught it red-handed.
