"Yudha, are you going to pick up Melody-chan?" Mikan who was busy carrying out her duties as a housewife in the kitchen asked questions. The woman appeared to be sauteing vegetables and making the whole room full of garlic.

Kazehaya Yudha was sitting in front of a shoe rack. The man tightened the strap of dark blue sneakers on the shoes with a mixture of dark blue, light blue, and black. "Hn" he said briefly.

The medium-sized wall clock shows its needles to the numbers seven and twelve. If said Tsuchiya-basan—ibu Melody— the plane carrying Melody from Uncle Sam's Country there should have arrived in Japan at half-nine. Yes, if it is not delayed or because of other obstacles.

Yudha got up from her seat, she grabbed the car keys on the hangers near the door of her house.

"Mom, I'm leaving," she said later.

The woman who was still preparing dinner in the kitchen replied to Yudha and exclaimed, "Yes! Careful. Give my regards to Melody-chan."

"Eh." Again, Kazehaya Yudha issued his ultimate speech.

Yudha closed the door to her house. After starting the engine of his four-wheeled vehicle, he stopped his activities for a moment. His mind brought himself an outing into the past for a moment. Pretty, while heating the car engine as well, right?

Melody Hwang's. The woman was the only child of the Hwang family who had lived next door before Yudha was born. In short they are friends from childhood.

Friends, huh?

Maybe it was in Melody's perspective. Not with Yudha. Is it wrong to expect something more?

Maybe it was only when Yudha High School realized his feelings. When we part with that woman. It was at this time that Melody chose to continue her studies abroad. The moment where he felt lost then realized that the affection he had been giving to the woman had grown into something more.

The climax was .. a few months ago. If calculated correctly, eight months ago?

At that time, because they were so far away, their communication via chat or phone increased in intensity. Then, the feeling was revealed. Without being able to be dammed again.

Loved you.

Yudha remembered how panicked she was when she realized the chat she had just sent. Yes, please note, Kazehaya Yudha panicked.

Actually, he wanted to cover up the chat by saying that the chat that just was just the messiness of his friend. It's just, he's conscious. He has to step forward. He had to face Melody gently.

But reality is always cruel. Reality slapped him so much that it made him step back.

Me either. We are inseparable friends. Forever, right? X)

That was the reply Melody Yudha got. But just after the accidental confessions, everything turned into awward. The intensity of his communication with Melody was much reduced compared to before. It has been almost half a year since they have not communicated with each other.

Looks like Kazehaya Yudha should be rewarded as the winner of the endurance race. Yes, he admitted that he was a big zero in love. Yudha is a pathetic idiot when it comes to her feelings. He did not even know how to give the right response if he had to deal with Melody.

Okay, the journey back to the past is over. Now it's time to go back to Kazehaya Yudha who is heating her car. The man leaned his temples slowly. Okay, let's face the truth. This is an opportunity that should not be wasted. The determination this time was strong.

He runs the car at a moderate speed. His oniks circled around the street.

After this turn left and we'll find a playground. Not far from there will be greeted by the exit of the complex.

Yudha passes through the playground and reflexively stops her black car. His forehead was faintly wrinkled. In the middle of the garden, highlighted by lights, sat alone along with a large suitcase and several tenteng bags.

What is Melody doing there? That's right Melody, isn't it? Did Yudha just create an illusion? Semenyetah is this him?

Yudha took her cell phone. He dialed Melody's sacred number. Immediately he put the phone to the ear while watching the movements of the women who sit in the park there.

Bingo. The woman picked up her phone.

"H-hello...?"

Is that woman sick? Why did Melody voice tremble while answering her phone?

Yudha shut off the engine.

Seems right, the woman sitting there is Melody. He was seen dazzling in mother jeans and a casual short-sleeved ivory white T-shirt.

"Where?" Yudha replied with a question. Beyond his expectations it turns out .. he can face this woman. He can control his attitude. He can control his feelings so as not to be too obvious.

"A-ah i .. that, I'm still at the airport and waiting for the plane, Yudha-kun. By the way if you're busy, you don't have to pick me up, hehe," Melody replied with an awkward laugh closing her sentence.

Bizarrely. This is so weird. Why is Melody sound shaking like that? Why is the woman also seen bending her head while covering her mouth with the back of her hand? And most importantly .. Why does he lie?

Slowly but surely, Kazehaya Yudha stepped her feet closer to Melody. The woman's position is currently behind her so that she may not be aware of Yudha's existence.

"Hn," replied Yudha briefly. His face showed no meaningful expression. He kept his legs up until the distance with Melody's back still sitting behind him stayed a while.

Yudha lowered her head, aligning it with the woman's ears. "I just found out that airports in America are moving here."

And the strands of words whispered by Yudha managed to make the girl strangle restrained and make Melody's phone fly as it was thrown from her grasp. Melody was really surprised.

Yudha walked to the front of the woman's seat. He took an innocent cell phone that was sprawled weakly on the ground. Give the phone to the owner.

Melody seemed to take a deep breath, "Thank you," she said, adding a smile.

This endless strangeness must end. Yudha brought her face closer to Melody,

"You sick?" He asked like this because Melody's face looked red.

The woman glanced at the oniks before her at a glance then turned her down.

"No. I'm just... cold, maybe?"

A black jacket with white accents was removed from Yudha's body. He immediately put it on the woman's shoulder. "When have you been here?" He asked and took a position next to Melody.

The woman with pink hair dared to glance at her interlocutor. He looked at the figure of Kazehaya Yudha's face from the side. "It's only been half an hour, really, Yudha-kun."

"Why lie?" Yudha turned her eyes from front to side. Making his gaze berhirobok with green netra that did not have time to escape from the snare of his oniks.

The question just now was like a proper bomb hitting his heart. Melody felt that she had lost the ability to speak. He cleared his throat, his voice sounded soft, "I-I just .. don't want to bother you."

What kind of reason is this? Damn, he's got tachycardia.

The man pulled a little corner of his left lip up. He touched the woman's forehead the last he saw apparently last year with his index finger and middle finger. "You're always troubling me, Melody."

And at this moment, Melody felt that time had just stopped. His heart was beating too hard. The woman's breath was suddenly irregular. The third-rate medical student regressed her body slightly. Melody bit her lips, channeling the erratic feeling she felt.

Don't know why, it hurts so much and so sweet. Not knowing why his heart was pounding was uncomfortable but he did not want to get up and leave this source of anxiety behind. Not knowing why his heart was broken, he wanted to cry, his chest felt tight. But on top of all that .. he, Melody still wants to stay.

Is it wrong to cross the real boundaries?

They say that friends will forever be friends. If one of two friends of the opposite kind steps over that forbidden line. If one of your friends says that taboo sentence. Will they be able to stay together? Will the foundation of the relationship just crumble?

Ignoring all the heartbreak, Melody covered it by showing off her rows of teeth, "Hm? You also always trouble me, you know, Yudha-kun."

Yep. For now, it is best to follow the flow. Set his heart so that the taboo returns to its original place. So that everything goes back to the beginning. After all, Melody herself had not long since realized her feelings. So, it's not too late to bury everything deep until it disappears.

Kazehaya Yudha tilted her head, "Example?"

The smile engraved from Melody's face grew wider. He straightened his hands while pointing at an object behind them. "Try you ride that. I'll wait below," he ordered with a face holding back laughter.

Yudha clucked looking annoyed. Even so, the man still obeyed Melody's words. Yudha climbed up the steps of the large enough toy. Well, this is a slide.

"When you were a Kindergarten, you were afraid to slide from there. That's why you're being made fun of by our friends." Melody played out her beautiful laughter, her eyes narrowed as well as almost watery from remembering the events before.

"And I told you to practice sliding from there. You were scared but since I said I'd wait and catch you here, you finally skated."

The twenty-two-year-old woman spread her arms, "Let's slide. I'll catch you again." Melody showed off her smile again.

From up there, Kazehaya Yudha noticed the figure of Melody closely. Yudha's jacket appears loose on the woman's tiny body.

Melody's pink hair strands tied to ponytails swung lightly in the piercing night breeze. With a plank-like expression, Yudha glided against gravity.

How surprised Melody was when she was about to catch Kazehaya Yudha, her hand was even gripped by the man. Yudha pulled the hand that was in her grip closer, making their faces only half-scarred. Unknowingly Melody held her breath.

"You no longer need to arrest me" Yudha said, hanging up her sentence for a moment, "Because this time I'm going to catch you."

Melody whose face was already flushed countered, "-You mean?"

"Good," Yudha ordered while pointing to the peak of this slide.

Now it's Melody's turn to ride the slide. He looked at Yudha, with a gray shirt and black pants down there. And his feelings have not changed, as hard as he covers it with his usual attitude. The crazy heartbeats still teased him.

Melody shook her head a few times before finally escaping in a way that closed her eyes and slid. The night wind hit his body that was defying gravity. For a moment he felt cold until he finally felt the warmth enveloping his petite body.

The smell of mint penetrates into Melody's sense of smell. He felt a pair of sturdy arms grip him firmly. Slowly Melody opened her eyes and she was already in Kazehaya Yudha's arms.

Silence shaded them for a while, long enough. Only the dry foliage was buffeted by the wind and the pounding of the heart crazily trying to break the silence. These two gender-different mortal beings were busy sailing in their respective minds. Busy questioning the rational level of this incident.

Long enough for Yudha to hug Melody until finally the baritone's voice whispered lowly, "I managed to catch you, didn't I?"

Melody ignored all logic. It ignores all the haunting heartbreak for months. He let this burning feeling explode. Unknowingly tears fell from the crackers. He let his heart control his body.

Melody returned the man's embrace strongly, as if unwilling to take it off.

"You've been successful a long time. I like you, Yudha-kun."
