So In Love
EP. 78. See You's

********

The sky tried to open its eyes when it felt someone gently stroking its head. It squeezes small to adjust the incoming light.

“Shien?” Call it with a hoarse voice typical of people waking up. “You are here?” Sky asked as soon as his eyes opened perfectly and found Shien sitting on the edge of the bed with one hand stroking his head.

The girl smiled brightly, a very rare thing to do.

“Sky, can you hear me?” Shien paid no heed to Sky's question.

The sky with its cold face fell silent, waiting for the girl to continue the sentence she wanted to say. Although she wanted to be angry that she remembered Shien with Blue last night, Shien also talked about wanting to end their relationship until she threw her gift ring. But strangely enough, the tongue of Heaven feels muddy now.

“I want you to know one thing. If I say I want to leave you or ask you not to see me again, it's a lie.” Said Shien softly, his gaze looking wistfully.

“Then it is, don't say it again. I don't like it even if it's a lie.” The sky was sad and angry at once. He even had trouble sleeping last night because he remembered Shien's words.

Shien smiled faintly in response, making Sky less satisfied with his response. Sky wanted Shien to agree with his own mouth. At least it would make his heart a little calmer. But, again Shien switched the conversation.

“Can you trust me, Sky?” Shien asked softly, looking a sad streak on his forehead accompanying.

“It's okay if you don't want to believe me now. You definitely need time.” Shien said because the sky never answered him.

“But. . .” Shien sighed for a moment. “All you have to know is, I love you. And I’ll always do, no matter what.” Shien spoke with a trembling voice.

While the Sky was only fixed in place while looking into Shien's eyes that looked glittering, making his heart grope and also waver. The possibility that happened was just a misunderstanding instantly flashed in his head, but Heaven did not want to draw a conclusion that quickly. Because who knows, Shien is currently just trying to persuade him.

“I love you.”

The sky blinked, a bit of a surprise as Shien suddenly landed a kiss on his forehead for quite a while, and it was so soothing that it made Heaven close his eyes for a moment before he regained his senses and pushed Shien's body away, but not until he moved out of his place.

Shien smiled bitterly, staring at the Sky with a sad and disappointed look at once.

“Sky, can you save your anger for a moment? At least until we finish breakfast together, would you?” Pinta Shien was hopeful.

“Breakfast?” Ask the Sky with a frowning forehead. He lyrics clock stuck to the wall of his room, it was already morning. But, it was strange that Shien had brought him breakfast together. As he remembered, they had no prior promise for it.

Shien nodded slowly. “I'm ready at the dinner table.”

“Ayo.” Shien exclaimed then as he moved from his seat. While the Sky was still unmoved, his eyes watching Shien who was walking further and further away were lost in the room door's ball.

A few seconds passed, Sky was still speechless digesting Shien's oddity today. Last night, the girl looked very angry as if she really didn't want to see the sky anymore. But now, early in the morning Shien had already come to his apartment and acted as if nothing had happened between them before.

Exhaling a rough breath. The sky then moved from the bed to then walk to the bathroom to just wash your face.

“You cooked by yourself?” Asked Sky as soon as he arrived at the dining table, then took a seat right in front of Shien. For a moment he observed two dishes of English breakfast menu lying on the dining table, then switched to Shien. The sky just woke up, the girl was too beautiful today with her white lace dress. It was so beautiful that it made her gaze reluctant to turn away, but it was too prestige to praise her because she was still angry at Shien.

“Nggak.” The girl shook her head. “Aunt in a busy house. You, right, know I can't cook.” His words grimaced slightly due to his inability in terms of cooking.

No words came out of Heaven's mouth after that. He then started lifting his fork and spoon to start breakfast, Shien followed him.

“Happy meal.” Shien sounded sad, and so did his expression.

The sky did not understand him, he just stared coldly at Shien, then started to stuff the sausage into his mouth, although in his heart was filled with complete astonishment because Shien did not usually talk much and often threw a smile like this.

For a while, they enjoyed their breakfast in silence. Shien struggled to swallow his food. Every now and then he glanced at the Sky, and Shien felt that the Sky was already really far away from him. It was as if he did not see himself even though he was in front of him at this moment.

“Can I hug you?” Shien's real question was a request. “Before I go.” Imbibuh.

The originally scowled Sky's countenance was astonished as Shien's request turned cold as soon as he heard the girl's last sentence.

“Go?” The sky stared at Shien sharply, showing his dislike of that one word. “So you really want to go to Germany and leave me? Ck, don't expect.” Word's cold. He became very sensitive once he remembered Shhien's one way plane ticket.

“Don't expect you to get away from me. I'll keep you by my side even if you don't reciprocate my feelings and play around with other guys out there.” Add the Sky of emotion.

Shien looked at Sky with a sad look after hearing the sentence spoken from the man's sweet mouth.

“I'm not that kind of person Sky.” Shien was tired, yet full of decisiveness in his sentence. While Sky indifferently threw away face, making Shien feel that he had been treated very badly for the first time.

“And I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here, somewhere you can still see. But. . .” Shien paused his sentence for a moment to take a breath. “It's good we don't meet first to calm down for a moment.”

“I disagree.” Deny the Sky firmly.

“This must be just your excuse, right, Shi? And actually you want to go secretly to Germany to escape from me, yes?”

Shien shook his head weakly while smiling faintly. He then moved, walked up to the sky, and hugged his shoulders from behind.

“Let's meet again after you really believe in me.” Shien said, ignoring Sky's angry protest.

“I said I disagree. Do I have to repeat it once again, Shien?” Snap the Sky while trying to release Shien's embrace. But the girl hugged him tighter and tighter.

“I love you.” Shien said softly even almost as if whispering, then landed a single kiss on the top of the Sky's head. “See you. . .” Then he let go of his embrace and walked out of the apartment, leaving the frozen Sky to see him lost behind the door

As if something was stuck in his throat and silenced his lips, it was hard for Heaven to open his mouth even though he was eager to shout calling Shien's name. So even with his body that seemed to be made to paralyze instantly, so that he could not catch up to Shien.

“Shi. .en.”

The sky woke up from his sleep with the roar of breath up and down irregularly, a feeling of uneasiness that did not know the cause spread in his heart just like that. He was silent for a moment, wandering every corner of the room, the time also showed at nine in the morning. He panicked a little, but soon calmed down when he remembered that today was his day off.

Then the next second, he realized that what he was experiencing was only a dream. And he's grateful for that. Perhaps because last night he thought too much of Shien and was so afraid that if the girl really wanted to end their relationship, then Shien was carried into his dream.

Exhaling a long breath, then rubbing his face rough. Sky was sure that last night Shien was just emotional, and he would pretend he never heard of it. No. gabe. Shien should not be willing to say such a thing. Only Heaven can decide whether Shien can leave or not. And Heaven will make sure that the girl will always be by his side, forever. Shien would never be able to leave her. Even thinking should not.

The sky was about to rise from the bed to clean itself up and meet Shien afterwards, but just as he flipped the blanket, the sky was regained consciousness if the bed was wet.

God fucking. He didn't even dream of being perverted with Shien. In the dream, the girl just kissed him on the forehead and hugged him, but the sky was bedwetting like this.

The intention of Heaven to get out of bed was again reduced when he heard his cellphone lying on the nightstand ringing.

“Tante Risa?” He muttered as soon as he saw the name of the person who called him on the phone screen.

“Tante on the way. Can we meet for a while at the Cafe in your apartment?” Aunty Risa's question sounded very serious as soon as Sky answered her phone call.

********

That morning, Shanna woke up with her head feeling heavy. He grimaced as he held his head, then his eyes slowly opened to adjust the light coming from the room lights. He gathered consciousness as his ears heard the creaking of the open bathroom door.

Shanna blinked, staring at the digital clock stuck on the wall of the room, already showing at seven in the morning.

A modern luxury bedroom with modern American style. This is not the room in Aigo's cousin's apartment, because the boy's room isn't this big. And neither is his room like a K-Pop nest. Then. . . .

Shanna flinched, opening her eyes wide. She remembers the last time she was at the bar, no matter how many days, Shanna doesn't remember much, which is clear she had a great drink at the bar and hasn't returned home to Aigo's apartment. Why is he used to being in the now? Day. . . .

He looked down, then lifted the blanket that covered his entire body. Shanna's eyes grew wide with her heart beating violently. Clothes changed. The sexy nightgown that wrapped his body, who replaced it?

Shanna reflexively woke up from her bed with a jerking motion. “Aa. . .”

“Diem. No need to scream.” The sound of someone and the right throw of a semi-wet towel hitting his face made Shanna who was about to shout back to her lips.

Nathan just came out of the bathroom. He gasped to see the handsome man bare-chested and wearing only ripped jeans, looking at him with a gaze that he could not understand.

Shanna was very surprised and fascinated to see the figure of Nathan who looked fresh with hair that was still slightly wet. And her abdominal muscles, uhh Shanna always liked that.

However, soon after Shanna regained her senses. It's not time to admire something like that now. He had to figure out what happened to him before he ended up in Nathan's room.

But a chunk of gratitude he murmured in his heart because this was the man's room, not the room of the wicked man or the old om-om.

“Why can I be here, Brother?” Shanna asked as she grabbed the edge of the blanket and re-clad her body to the neck. Nathan who saw it just cut him down. The girl daily wore sexy clothes that showed off her cleavage thighs while going outside. Now inside the room why did he have to cover it up? What the fuck try? Hid.

“According to you?” Nathan asked back, then looked up and walked up to the closet to pick up the shirt he had forgotten to take to the bathroom.

Shanna snorted because Nathan was too ambiguous to respond to her. He then tried to remember the events when he was at the bar and after. Flashbacks of what he did in the bar popped up randomly, he could not remember it well. Shanna remembers meeting a man and it turns out that it was Nathan, but instead thinks of him as Heaven. Shanna also remembered she hugged him back then, but she didn't remember anything else afterwards. His memory is completely dead-end.

God fucking.

Why did he have to be so drunk that he lost consciousness? And why would he think of Nathan as the Sky?

Shanna blew her hair that accidentally fell on her face in annoyance. He really does curse his own stupidity. Had he returned to Aigo's apartment sooner rather than continued drinking, he might not have ended up in Nathan's bed and maybe they had. . . . .

Ahh, no!

“What we've done. . .” Shanna tapped on her two index fingers, too embarrassed to say that line, her face looking red even though inside was very panicked.

The movement of Nathan's hand choosing a T-shirt in the closet immediately stopped. He was silent for a moment, a moment later one of the corners of his lips was attracted to a grin.

“You want me to ingetin?” Nathan turned around after he had pulled a white T-shirt from the closet, then put it on right in front of Shanna's eyes.

“I. . . . ingetin?” Shanna wave, his brain immediately guerrilla to everywhere. So is it true that he and Nathan did something they shouldn't?

Furthermore, Shanna had even imagined how her parents would melt her when she found out she was pregnant, and they would forcibly marry her to the man before her stomach bulged.

“K-sister, what do you want?” Shanna panicked and inched back to her body to be completely cornered hit the headboard of the bed as soon as Nathan who had somehow stood on the edge of the bed and leaned towards her. Shanna can even inhale the scent of toothpaste coming out of Nathan's slightly open mouth.

“Stupid.” Nathan uncovers the blanket that covers Shanna's body, leaving the girl a little too fussy and hurriedly crosses both hands in front of her moderately exposed chest.

“Kak. . .” Shanna protested with an annoyed look.

“Never go to such a place again. Especially drunk alone.” Nathan shook Shanna's forehead with one index finger both anxious and annoyed. He sat next to the girl.

“Kak, I'm serious about it. We're not doing anything, are we? You don't fuck me, do you?” Shanna repeated the previous question because Nathan did not answer clearly.

Shanna then pulled back the edge of the blanket intending to cover her body, but Nathan quickly jerked it apart again. He deliberately pranks Shanna for being still upset over last night's events that thought she was the Sky and vomited her until she had to soak for nearly three hours to get rid of the smell.

“I am interested in drunk people. You are just what I am. Eat from now on do not try to get drunk again.” Nathan grumbled.

Shanna blinked, then scrunched her forehead, trying to digest Nathan's intentions. But the man's initial sentence was enough to calm him down, because it meant he and Nathan did nothing. But what does Nathan mean that he did something to her? What's he doing? Is that something embarrassing?

“I what-what are you doing?” Shanna asked at last. “But, if you're okay with me, who change my clothes, dong?” Her impression was excited when she realized her clothes had changed.

“Yes you want to go alone.” Nathan sewot.

“And your shirt. . .” The man paused for a moment, thinking of judging Shanna again. “Who else is here besides me? So, it's clear who changed your shirt.” Then Nathan went up and walked towards the dresser to wear his skincare.

Shanna who heard that glared back wide. “Sister, said you didn't do me?” His cry was upset as he went and approached Nathan.

“Emang does not do anything.” Nathan replies casually, then starts applying toner on his smooth face using cotton.

“NATHANIEL.” Shanna stomped her feet annoyed that Nathan did not give her a detailed explanation. But Nathan deliberately did not bother him, he prefers to apply the next skincare.

“Kak Niel, ihh. If so you have seen. . . .” Shanna squeezed resignedly while observing her body.

“No way possible, right?” Nathan smiled at the thin ignorant smile.

“Kak. . .” Whinek Shanna did not accept it, but Nathan just put his shoulders uncaring while continuing to flatten the moisturizer on his face.

“Your clothes were in the closet last night. Quickly change and I'll drive you home.” Again, Nathan came back ignoring Shanna.

“I don't want to go home!” Shanna was full of rejection while sitting on the dresser until now she could see Nathan's face more clearly.

“If so, you can aduin you same Om and Aunt if last night you were drunk continue to sleep with me. You know what would happen if I did that, right?” Threatening Nathan, his face turned serious.

“But, right, we're not doing anything. Aduin, I'm not afraid.” Challenge Shanna.

“You think they won't believe me?” Nathan's reply was no less challenging, making Shanna immediately snort, at a loss for words to reply.

“And please from now on you stop doing childish things with Shien.” Nathan said seriously after he finished his skincare series.

Shanna's face turned grim. Always stand up for Shien.

“You've gone too far, Sha.” Added Nathan.

“Shien himself made me into a gini.” Shanna said coldly, then got off the dresser and walked towards the closet where Nathan kept his clothes.

“Can you give up? The sky will never turn away from Shien. So, can you stop loving him? Stop chasing him, Sha.” Nathan half-cried, watching Shanna grab her clothes.

“I won't stop, no matter what.” Strictly Shanna, then passed to the bathroom with the clothes in her hands.

Nathan breathed a heavy breath. Couldn't Shanna just look at him?
