One Long Night With Mysterious Boys
13. The blue-eyed girl

I went to see a friend for a while. I'll be back later in the afternoon. Have a good rest, Alicia.

Alicia crumpled up a paper that read Ken's short message for her. The girl just woke up at 8am, and she's been made badmood by this shitty paper. Alicia threw the paper on the floor, deciding to continue sleeping because her body was still limp.

"Cyaaaa...."

*BRAAKK

There came a noisy man who wanted to destroy his morning as soon as he had destroyed his door so many times.

Alicia throws a pillow. Lazy to meet the girl who was now running towards him with glassy eyes.

......................

Though Ken's letter says he wants to see someone, the thousands-year-old doesn't know who to meet to teach him how to live in the present world.

This was not an age of war where the entire clan was split apart, he could instantly enter and become the ruler if the world was still as ancient as that.

Now, here was a future world without bamboo and spears, without magic and power, a world dominated by weak humans. If he wanted to live here, he would have to follow their rules of life.

Ken sighed, he also did not have an identity, a house, or work that could be done. There's no way he's hanging his life on Alicia going on. It could be if Alicia's parents knew, they would forbid Alicia from meeting him.

"Excuse me, are you a model?"

'What do you want this pig for?' That was what Ken thought when someone with a distended stomach came up to him, gave him a business card, the middle-aged man's face smiled with his mouth wide.

Ken received the business card that the man offered. He could read, Ken had studied with the mother who taught his son to read in the rose garden. When Ken says 'watching' a human being it means he's absorbing all the knowledge an outsider brings to the rose garden.

"How much can a model make?" ken asked, returning the business card the man had given him. Here is the same inscription with the name of the clothing store that he came with Alicia yesterday. A very large clothing store is sure to make a lot of money.

The man mentioned the nominal money Ken could earn in an hour of shooting. Damn Ken doesn't understand about the currency and how much the man has to offer.

"Less, I don't want that." Ken Cuek, expensive selling and refusing. That's a trick to improve quality. Do not immediately want if offered something, then the person will bid even bigger.

"Good lord! It could be used for a one month fancy meal."

A month? Hey to Ken who's thousands of years a month it's like a day.

Ken left, putting his hand in his pants pocket. Act no matter.

The man weighed in.

Ken is the treasure trove of the modeling world he just met this morning. Such a beautiful face balanced with a huge tall body, Ken was the answer to the sales that would increase in the future.

The price did not attract his attention. The person immediately thinks that Ken is a famous person or a professional model. The way is just so cool.

"2 times as much, sir! I'll give you double it!" The man followed her, still persuading.

Ken seemed to think. Grinning, gazing seriously, his sharp eyes held control over that person's gaze that could not escape his face.

"5. If 5 times I want to." replied Ken shamelessly. Hey he thought 5 times that was a little bit?!

"That's called old man extortion..."

"Yes already." Ken shrugged, walked back.

One, two, three, four, li...

"Good! 5 times but an hour and a half!"

Ken laughs.

"Deal."

...****************...

The girl Areka had been waiting for since yesterday finally opened her blue eyes again.

"Hey shit, you're so happy to act like a sleeping princess."

The girl gave a small laugh, rubbing the watery eyes of Areka. Areka kissed him softly.

Is that the girl who made Areka unable to be seduced by other girls? was that girl who made Areka distance herself from the opposite sex? Answer yes! The girl who since the age of 5 has been on her side is so precious. For Areka and for her clan.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

"By pleasure, princess." Areka peeked at the back of her hand.

The blue-eyed sea girl woke up from her long sleep.

"I want to meet that guy. I should thank him directly."

Areka turned her eyes. I don't like what the girl asks.

"Now? I want you both to stay longer."

"We can do 'that' later tonight. Thanking my savior is much more important."

Areka finally nodded. He held the woman he called the princess with both hands.

"We're going out, heart-hearted with your breathing."

"Yes, no need to worry. My whole organs are intact again, they're ticking." the girl held her warm chest.

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear it." Areka smiled with relief. He could lead the girl to see the outside world. The world has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

......................

Ken made the money! But only one piece of writing on paper. As he fears being tricked Ken is forced to go see Alicia as soon as possible, and for the sake of seeing the myriad of zeros on the check Alicia stares in Ken's admiration.

They sit in the park. Ken can't get into Alicia's dorm without a dress and a wig.

"Is that a lot?"

"This can even be for one year apartment rental. You can still eat for a month. I can't believe a model's salary can be this much, what kind of clothing store model?" Alicia asked enthusiastically, she was glad Ken was trying to do something in this world. That means Ken plans on staying here for a long time, right?!

"Arthea."

Again Alicia was surprised by Ken's short answer. It was the clothing store that he came to Ken yesterday.

His family's clothing store!

One of the most famous brands and has many overseas branches. Which makes Alicia's family finally collaborated with Damian Group until the match was made.

Life is full of plot twists.

"Good work Ken. Were you offered some kind of contract?" ask Alicia again. The girl is acquainted with a new, stocky manager who is taking over the production of menswear, as their menswear has had sales figures plummeting in recent months. If Ken gets paid this much, the survey team's response is good and the old manager can't let Ken get away with it.

"Yes. But I don't want to."

"Why?" ask Alicia. He wouldn't say if Ken's employer was a member of his family.

"Because of his two-year contract. That's too long."

Alicia laughing. Also true. He doesn't want Ken's time out to work and forgets about him. Alicia also did not want Ken to become a famous model and was given a lot of job offers, met many people and beautiful girls like profession. Ah imagining it could drive Alicia crazy!

Ken doesn't have to work. Alicia's monthly money alone is enough to eat and rent an apartment.

Does he have to stay alone with Ken to save on rent? So it doesn't need to be in the dorm anymore. There is no need to worry about being distracted by time in the apartment because Ken lives with him. Alicia giggles herself at the thought of the naughty thing, when she can do anything with Ken!

"You think about what heh." Ken touched Alicia's forehead.

"Hey sick tofu." Alicia grimaced, rubbing her forehead. Long time there's a basin here if Ken nudges it too often.

The garden during the day is very comfortable, not cold and not hot. Fresh air. Ken also looks like the view of the tree trees here, which is so beautiful and relaxes the eyes.

The two spend a pleasant afternoon when there arrives an unknown girl trying to hug Ken's shoulder from behind, Ken agile avoid making the girl almost plunged forward. He already knew that the two fish were watching him, but did not expect that they would dare to approach recklessly like that.

Areka held her girl's hand so as not to fall. This incident was really fast, Alicia was confused by this sudden thing. Who is that amazingly beautiful girl with those sea blue eyes? Why is he with Areka? AND WHY WAS THE GIRL TRYING TO HUG KEN?!

Ken stared dislikefully. He knew this girl, she was a girl who fell asleep long under the magical water.

"Hey there's no need to dodge that, right, Elena just recovered, how about she fall down?!" Areka defended Elena who looked glum. Though the girl was very happy to come out and wanted to meet her rescuer.

For the sake of hearing what Areka said, Alicia wanted to answer in a rude language. Who is this girl?! What does this have to do with Ken?! What is the face of hugging so at the age of 20?!

"You are crazy?! Of course I avoided. He tried to touch me." replied Ken, staring at the girl he didn't like.

Makes Alicia feel calm and win. Alicia immediately grabbed Ken by the hand, showing the girl if Ken belonged to her.

"Touching Elena won't make you tart." Areka answered cynically.

Now from the eyes of Ken and Areka as if there is electricity radiated. The two of them will never fit.

Elena looked sad, Areka clasped her hand. This girl may be in her 20s, but she's been in a coma for 10 years. His mental age is still at 10. Therefore, for him hugging the person who saved him was common, he thought that was the way to thank him.

"Dirty." replied Ken briefly. The day became bad because of the arrival of two mermaid so be this. Shouldn't the mermaids be at sea?

Elena's eyes widened, her tears fell, she instantly hid her face in Areka's chest. Just like the girl, Areka looks angry at Ken. Also Alicia who did not expect Ken said a word that made a girl cry.

Ken sighed, why is he the one who seems to be the antagonist?

"Your hands are dirty. You just had ice cream, right? Clean it up there." Ken turned his eyes. Although 'dirty' he meant not dirty from ice cream. But it was dirty because the girl was a fishy mermaid clan.

Ken's reply was wise enough, the girl instantly stopped crying and laughed awkwardly. Clean his hands in the garden shower. Then extend a hand to Ken. Get acquainted.

"I'm Elena, thank you for saving me the other day. Your name?"

Ken was very forced to accept the girl's hand because Areka was looking at him full of threats.

Nah! Ken's not afraid of Areka. Areka couldn't kill him, she was just worried that the cunning man was doing something to Alicia.

"Ken."

And when their hands touched, Ken felt a strange electrical current that made him immediately release the hand of the girl. Watchful gazing then distanced Alicia from the girl.

"What's wrong?" Alicia asked, Ken suddenly pushed her back.

Elena just grinned at Ken's reaction. He has got what he wants.

Elena's not just any mermaid. Obviously the girl had abilities that even Ken had to watch over her.

Memory manipulation.

Mermaids generally have the ability to erase memories. It was used so that their clan could hide in the ocean without any disturbance, they could become a clan whose existence was forgotten and live quietly.

Just deleting it.

While this Elena, I don't know who she is.

The angel-faced girl was able to create new memories in the brain memory of others as she wanted.

"Alicia... Don't get close to her." Ken whispers. His eagle eyes stared intently and were full of threat towards Elena and Areka.
