My Gentle Boyfriend's
12 A Strengthening Heart

A snoring voice sounded soft in the peaceful morning. The origin of the snoring sound came from the figure of a handsome man who was sound asleep while hugging a woman's body tightly like a bolster.

Feeling claustrophobic and uncomfortable, the woman squirms lightly before turning her body to face the man by her side.

The sweet sight of both the woman and the man closing his eyes was warm and very pleasing to the eyes.

Before one can capture that beautiful moment in a picture. The woman opened her golden eyes. He stared straight ahead with an indistinct stare. With a light rub from his hand, his golden eyes had a clear start.

As his golden eyes caught the figure of a handsome face that was sound asleep right on his face and hugged his body tightly, he glared in shock and kicked the man's body away until it fell from his bed.

Bugh!!!

"Awrhh" a sick moan sounded from the lips of the man who had fallen on the floor

"KARLA!!!" The girl growled full of anger, she sat down with bulging eyes that began to turn red.

"Lana, why are you kicking me? It's still morning you know!" Zale asked lazily as he woke up from the floor to go back to bed

"SI4L4N YOU! What are you doing in my bed?" Arlana's shrill scream in a silent morning, the veins on her forehead protruding looking terrifying, she stared intently at the man before her who was scratching her head hair with a stupid face.

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I snuck in to sleep with you!" Zale replied straightforwardly "Ahh you are so warm and gentle, making me fall asleep instantly! So let's go to sleep again! It's still a little too early outside!"

Plakk!!!

Arlana's palm landed right on Zale's soft cheek, the girl staring right into Zale's stupid-looking black eyes with injured eyes.

He was speechless with a flat face, yet the tears that came out from his golden eyes looked painful and bitter. "You're too much this time!"

With that sentence, Arlana ran away leaving the room.

Zale looked at Arlana's back which disappeared in surprise. When she saw the tears flowing from her beautiful eyes, her chest became a little sore. He didn't intend to go this far actually. But what he said was true.

Initially Zale asks Kelvin for a duplicate key to see Arlana's sleeping face and teases her tomorrow when she wakes up.

But when Zale was dissolved looking at Arlana's sleeping face, he unwittingly became sleepy and fell asleep by her side. It's something very unique to him.

Zale was used to having trouble sleeping, he would become more difficult to sleep when there was someone by his side. For some reason she was able to sleep soundly by Arlana's side, she really did not understand. Now even when she saw Arlana crying, she felt her heart ache and was excited.

Zale did not want to hurt the girl, but he also felt like he wanted to make her cry staring at her with his face full of tears.

"Look! I thought this was gonna be a problem! That's why I didn't want to give you the keys to his room last night, but you kept pushing me! Now even Arlana will hate me so badly!" Kelvin's voice rang out Zale's wandering mind. He leaned against the doorway of the room and looked at Zale in annoyance

"Where is he?"

"He's in the guest bedroom, I think he's washing himself and he's leaving this house as soon as possible. I can't stop it, and I don't want to either! All I could do was have someone watch him safely" Kelvin explained and walked over to Zale who remained motionless on the bed "So what did you do last night?"

Zale rolled his eyes silly looking at Kelvin who asked with a perverted look. He doesn't know whether to feel sorry for Arlana or happy for himself. Kelvin is Arlana's cousin, but she is more supportive of her blatant dirty actions than of Arlana.

"Nothing happened, we just slept doing nothing" Zale chuckled softly and moved out of bed "I'm going to take a shower for a while, you try to keep Arlana around until I'm done"

Kelvin grunted softly listening to Zale's reply, he couldn't believe him. Last night with a girl? With despicable brengs3k like Zale doing nothing? It was a public lie!

....

Aralana's golden eyes stared at the reflection of her face in front of the mirror with a lethargic face. The golden color was not as clear as before, but it looked somewhat reddish.

He rubbed his nose which spewed out the liquid with a tissue before returning a slow sigh. The tears that started to dry came back to stem again and drip slowly.

"That brengs3k guy!!! I'll kill him!!!"

Arlana exclaimed with an injured face, to her two hands began to tie her messy hair after finishing the bath.

He felt his heart ache and hurt, it was never in his mind that a shameless man like Zale would step into his life and make him fall apart.

Arlana was always trying to keep her distance and get away from everyone, she thought Zale would also give up if Arlana continued to resist. But the man did not know the word rejection and got closer.

He also did not expect that his own cousin would let such a predator move towards him. He is not someone who likes to complain, but with this incident he feels hurt and will complain Kelvin to uncle and aunt. At least with Kelvin who will be in the law his heart becomes more relieved.

"Hey, that..."

Arlana's face blackened again as she listened to Kelvin's hesitant voice. He ignored Kelvin who was staring at him and was on the doorstep. He felt this person was getting irritating by not knocking on the door.

"I've knocked on the door a few times, but you didn't hear it!" Kelvin spoke again as if he could guess when Arlana's increasingly ugly face was "I... You know, I wanted to apologize, but I really didn't mean to give Zale the keys to your room, so I thought you wouldn't. well, you know, my mom..."

"Are you done?" Staring at Kelvin who seemed to be looking for an excuse, Arlana cut off her impatient remark "Stop around! You're blocking my way!"

"Arlana, I'm really sorry, so can this matter not come to..."

"GIRST!!!"

With an increasingly cold voice coming out from Arlana's lips, Kelvin fell silent for a moment and made himself shrink from his path.

Arlana snorted angrily towards Kelvin at a glance and walked past him. Before arriving at the exit of the house, a warm and large hand clasped his body tightly.

A head felt leaning on her shoulders, a warm and large body hugging Arlana's body tightly from behind.

With a state of shock, Arlana's body looked stiff, he realized when a hoarse voice sounded right in his ear carrying a warm breath.

"Sorry, Lana forgive me! I'm really sorry!"

"Let go!" Arlana thrashed violently, she pushed Zale's body that held her "Step away from my life and never touch me again!!"

Unable to escape after trying hard, Arlana's tears stemmed like a puddle and slowly flooded.

"I beg Zale, let me go!!"

Seeing Arlana who was crying miserably, Zale tightened his embrace. He turned Arlana's body to face her and wrapped her sturdy arms around Arlana's slender waist.

"Sorry, Lana. I was wrong, I was completely wrong! I beg you to forgive me!"

Zale continuously repeated the sentence from his lips, he hugged the fragile and tender body before him full of regret.

No sound was heard other than Arlana's sobs and Zale's monotonous voice saying an apology.

After some time, Arlana became a little calm, she pushed Zale's body slowly and said "I understand! Please let me go!"

Zale frowned involuntarily, if he could he did not want to let go of that hug, he wanted to continue hugging Arlana's soft and fragrant body. But looking at the situation, Zale began to loosen his embrace.

As Zale's clear black eyes stared at Arlana's disheveled-looking face. He stiffened for a moment. His heartbeats became racing without him understanding. The more she looked at Arlana's soft face with reddened eyes, her puddle-colored nose. Her wet lips were bright red. He became nervous and uncomfortable.

Zale responded very unnaturally, he let go of Arlana instantly and averted his gaze.

"I really didn't do anything to you! I swear! If I did anything last night, let the lightning strike me!" With a voice that slightly shook with a strange feeling, Zale started talking nonsense "Well, you know even though I always tease you, you're not my type, your body is really too thin and uncomfortable in R3m4s!!"

Buughh!!!

A fist landed right on Zale's cheek, making him red instantly. The corner of Zale's mouth even let out a small amount of fresh blood.

With sharp glaring eyes Arlana again kicked Zale's leg with her leg "I know a br3ngs3k like you would definitely not be interested in me! Why should I spend so many useless tears...!!!"

Arlana again stomped her feet to step on Zale before leaving.

Zale only grimaced in pain in his place, even so his mind was now in a fog. She did not hold onto her injured cheek but instead held onto her thumping chest as if jumping out.

What's wrong with her?

That thought continuously revolved in his brain as if searching for answers to his strange and uncontrollable body.
