Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E7] Strange Taste

"Love will lead you to those who truly love."

*****************#####*****************

Dusk's body was stiff, his face flushed red with a hot temperature that began to spread throughout the area of his body. His breathing was heavy with a slightly firmer rhythm than before. His heart beats faster with adrenaline racing up and down.

This was different from before, back then he felt tightness in his chest due to the suddenly changing atmosphere. But this was unexpected, instead of feeling claustrophobic, Dusk felt like it was being flown to a very high place.

Honestly, Dusk was afraid when he started to follow this rhythm, he would fall very sick, and that's why he didn't like it. He was afraid that all this was just a falsehood that could end at any moment.

Taking a deep breath, Dusk pushed Lucas' body away. He looked annoyed yet still with a face that blushed in shame. Lucas just stared at Dusk with his mischievous smile.

Lucas knows that at the moment Dusk is just not ready to face it all. Therefore, Lucas decided to let Dusk do whatever he wanted.

"When the time comes, inevitably you'll be mine."

Lucas stood away from the bed. He chose to sit on the chair beside the bed.

"Where is this?" ask when her feelings are back to normal.

"My house," Lucas replied kindly.

Dusk then narrowed his eyes, his eyebrows clashing against each other. He couldn't believe what Lucas had just told him.

"Wait a minute, how can I be in your house?"

Lucas just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, as if he also had no idea why Dusk was here.

"Huh."

Dusk let out a long sigh with Lucas' childish attitude. He stood up from his sleep and looked around.

"Don't tell me..."

Twilight's words came to a halt as he looked at Lucas' wrist wrapped in bandages.

"Oh.., it turns out you're the one pretending to be my servant."

Lucas only smiled awkwardly while shaking his head in disapproval. But of course Dusk did not believe him. He knows Lucas is the real culprit.

"What's the reason you did that?" ask Dusk back.

"Nothing."

Dusk again sighed with Lucas' indifferent answer. He then sat facing Lucas, right in front of him.

"Don't lie, tell me the truth!"

"I'm not lying" Lucas replied as he kissed Dusk on the forehead.

"I'm telling you the truth" he continued with his mischievous smile.

An irritated twilight hit Lucas' hand hard to get away. He then rubbed Lucas' kiss marks on his forehead violently. Not to forget anyway, Dusk glared at Lucas who was currently laughing amusedly in front of him.

"Don't laugh, you freak."

"My little cat is starting to get active now, how can I not laugh to see it."

"Who do you call a cat?" ask Dusk in a growling tone in annoyance.

Instead of answering, Lucas instead laughed with a twilight attitude that he thought was very funny.

"Haha. Look, you're growling again."

"Huh, it's none of your business. Now answer me!"

Twilight Eyes again glared at Lucas, and sure enough instead of answering, Lucas continued to laugh endlessly.

"I said, answer me!" snapped Dusk annoyed. His face turned red with Lucas' long laugh.

"Haha..."

Lucas had never laughed like this before. He is a perfectionist at all times. There was no laughter or excessive smile, he always set his fake smile with a face that was quite cold.

Anyone who sees Lucas right now must think that Lucas is crazy, or maybe he is upset half to death to have to laugh like that. They would even rather see Lucas with his cold face than a face filled with such a smile.

Not that Lucas wasn't good at smiling, just that every time Lucas smiled, it must have been shown to be bad. Whether it was for his enemy or for the nobles who wanted to look for face against him.

Whatever it was, of course, every subordinate of Lucas felt that his master would be better off not smiling or laughing, because it could disturb their mentality later.

"Are you happy to laugh?"

The reddened face of Dusk now looks so dark, he is even ready to explode at any time if Lucas returns laughing again.

"Can't you just be serious this time, huh. Basic kidnapper!" It was the twilight that kept Lucas quiet again.

But of course Lucas' silence did not make his face calm. There was a smile held back behind Lucas' silence. His face was like he was holding back a laugh from not coming out and exploding right now.

"Pfftt, I can have a stomachache like this" Lucas murmured as he tried to relieve the tingling in his heart.

"Well," Lucas wilted as his breathing began to reorganize. The twilight that looked at Lucas like that, could only sigh deeply for the umpteenth time.

"I didn't kidnap you. Anyway how can I let my cat eat dirty food."

Once again, Dusk's face flushed in the follow with a soft laugh coming out of Lucas' lips.

"Please...!"

Twilight seemed fed up with his conversation with Lucas. Every time he spoke, Lucas always said nonsense that he did not understand at all.

"What do you want to say exactly? Don't say such an ambiguous thing."

If I may be honest, the mind of Dusk begins to empty. Somehow, Dusk could not think clearly since he woke up until now.

Maybe it was because of Lucas who continued to laugh endlessly, or maybe it was because Dusk could not regulate his pounding heartbeat. Like like a game of rafting that brings the adrenaline of Dusk keep racing at all times.

"What have you been eating lately?"

Instantly Lucas' tone changed to be so firm. His originally smiling face now looked so cold and stiff. I don't know why Lucas looks so angry. It seems like it is ready to explode at any moment.

"Nothing special."

Dusk answered nervously, though he did not know the reason why.

" ... "

Lucas stared at Dusk sharply, his eyes narrowed with eyebrows clashing against each other. It was clear that Lucas did not believe his girlfriend's answer.

"Uhm, that's.., there's nothing weird about my food these few days."

Dusk again said as a void approached them. The room somehow felt so cold and cold, like there was a blizzard hitting it from within.

"What cold feeling is this?" twilight murmured as his back felt a sharp cold aura. It was like being interrogated by a BK teacher when he was caught pulling out of class.

"Then, why is there poison in your body?"

That question made Dusk shocked. He was confused as to where Lucas knew that there was poison in his body. Obviously Dusk remembered that he had never said this to anyone, not even to his own subordinates.

"You, you, obviously this is impossible" replied Dusk, taking his eyes off Lucas's sharp gaze.

"I, I might eat poison" he continued.

" ... "

Lucas who heard the Twilight lie could only clench his fists tightly. He was very angry at this moment, his face blackened from the emotions he had been enduring since.

"Tell me who is he?" asked Lucas while pulling Dusk's shoulder to face him.

"Tell me!"

Lucas screamed loudly so that Dusk closed his eyes. He was clearly confused by Lucas' reaction which he thought was very strange.

"I can take care of it myself."

Dusk tries to open his eyes. He was too scared to look at Lucas. But whatever the power, when his eyes opened the first thing he saw was Lucas' eyes that looked so emotional.

His eyes were deep with a cold expression as cold as the North Pole. His eyebrows are sharp with neatly engraved corners. His red lips looked firm with an angle that was pulled down. What a beautiful but frightening sight for anyone who sees it.

"Take me off!" lirih Dusk while turning his face away.

"I can take care of my own business" he continued sharply. Lucas let out a long sigh as Dusk did not want to say what had really happened.

"So you chose to shut up, huh?"

Lucas then let go of the handle. He decided to return to his starting position, and seemed to be regulating his emotions so as not to break.

"Before you tell me everything, you won't get out of this place."

Lucas confirmed each sentence as a shield began to cover the bed area. The shocked twilight tried to run away. But unfortunately, he was pushed back to the back when he tried to escape.

"Damn it, Lucas."

Lucas looked at Dusk who was currently cursing at him. He knew he could not stop Dusk from escaping, but right now the most important thing was to find out who the real culprit was.

"Lucas, stop this. I gotta get back. Lucas!" the twilight Shouts were completely ignored by Lucas.

"I have to go back to the Dormitory, it's already 2 p.m. Lucas!" twilight shouted once more, but Lucas still did not answer.

"You'll stay here as long as you keep quiet about what you eat."

After saying that, Lucas then walked out of the room leaving Dusk who was still shouting calling his name there.

"Suck!" maki Dusk, he looks so frustrated with Lucas' behavior that he can not guess at all.

"If I get out of here, then I'll beat you to pieces" murmured the annoyed twilight. He chose to sit on his bed staring intently at the tightly closed door.
