》Rose, I just got back to the apartment. The atmosphere in the dark apartment when I arrived, I remembered your phobia. Tomorrow I'll bring you your character lights, yeah. I'll bring your skincare too.
That's -- whatsapp that Bang Jack sent last night. I just read it this morning because last night I was fast asleep under the influence of a high dose of sleeping pills. Plus my phone died because I forgot to charge the battery. As a result, this morning Bang Jack had already been floating me in the pavilion before I could reply to his message.
》 I'm already ahead.
Oh, my God, I'm confused. James must have known the connection between me and the real Jack Bang. He wouldn't like it if I met Bang Jack again. But I'd love to see that face. The face of the man I love so much. After all, if she saw me, she would know that I was fine, even if it was just physical. It must be the other way around, if he can't meet me, he'll definitely worry about me even more. I should how?
Phone's ringing. Call from Bang Jack.
"Ha-hello."
"I'm in front."
"I...."
"Rose?"
"Wait a minute."
I hung up the phone and decided to go out to see Bang Jack. But...
A waiter stopped my footsteps when I was just a few steps away from the room. "Where is the lady going?" tanyakanya. That's the same waitress who opened my handcuffs yesterday.
"I want to go ahead."
"Sorry, Madam. But the madam can't go anywhere."
"I just want to go ahead. There's my brother waiting outside."
"I'm sorry. But Mr. James advised that the Madam was not let out of the pavilion or received any guests. Anyone, without exception."
Hmm.. it's upset. But what is my day. I can only surrender.
"I'm sorry, Madam. But please, Madam can be wise. I'm the one assigned to look after the Madam. If I can't carry out my duties according to the orders of the Young Master, I'll accept his punishment. Young Master will punish me."
Yeah, I get it. Kuhela took a deep breath and nodded. I can't be selfish. I cannot harm others just because my feelings of love are hindered. "alright. But if I ask you to please bring me the things that Bang Jack brought me, is it okay?"
"alright. I'll get you, and ma'am, please just wait here."
I nodded and immediately called Bang Jack as the waiter went to the front door.
"Sorry, Bang. I can't get out."
"Why?"
"alright. I-i understand. But you're okay, right? You healthy?"
"Emm. Yeah, I'm healthy, really. I'm doing fine. Brother need not worry. Again I'm sorry, yes."
And I am sad to remember what James said yesterday. I wanted to tell Bang Jack about my virginity status, but I shouldn't be careless. My phone must've really been tapped. Besides, I have to consider how Bang Jack feels when he finds out about this. He must be disappointed. And it's not good for him. I'm afraid he's a calf and will act out of control.
"alright. Your character lights and skincare I left it to the waiter, yeah. This is the servant's out."
But I miss. I wanna see you....
"Rose?"
"Yes, Bang. Thank you." Thank you."
"Take care of yourself, yeah. Eat and rest enough. Promise?"
"Y-yes," isakku. I desperately tried to hold back the crying.
"It has. No cry. Just take good care of yourself."
"Abang too. Take good care of yourself brother. Thanks again."
"Ep. I hung up, yeah. You. You just rest. Bye, Honey. Ms. bye... Rose's."
Tut!
Geez, may James not realize or question that dear call. I also shook my head. So ketar-ketir.
Relax, Rose. Be calm. Let it flow as it is.
But I'm still confused. Avoiding Jack Bang is impossible. I don't want to hurt her heart anyway. But I can't make James angry, let alone jealous of my relationship and Bang Jack: about us still communicating.
If I could, I'd like to explain to Bang Jack about my circumstances, about my virginity, about James punishing me. And if I could, I'd like to ask for his understanding to let me in on my present life. I want him to understand, and want -- for a while - we don't have to meet first. Just try to figure out how to get me out of here. If it is time, then on that day we will be together. In essence, before he moves with his plan, he must understand how to keep my position here safe. Because, I'm sure that James already knew that me and Bang Jack were not brothers, but lovers. But how can I tell this to Bang Jack? How'd he know? We could not meet, and our only communication device was intercepted by James.
Argha! Want to mosquito it feels.
Why is it so hard to keep everything good on all sides?
Then another thought entered my mind: if James had known that I and Bang Jack were not brothers and sisters, and in fact we were lovers, why didn't he just say it blatantly? Or just ask, right? Or could he order me to avoid Bang Jack? Why wouldn't it? Why is he so impressed by pretending like me and Bang Jack? This is obviously torture for both of us. Does he really want to torture our feelings? He wanted revenge because we were pretending in front of him, so he also wanted to pretend in front of us? Why is he a child? Is there really something I don't know? Is there a problem between Bang Jack and James in the past?
Huh! My mind is branching. The more I think about it, the more complicated this love story becomes.
I'm tired! So tired! I need sleeping pills. Again and again!
