Sadness further suffocates the chest seeing Arin riding on Yuwen's motorbike, through the shop glass. Fay tried to put on an ordinary face when saying retreat from the presence of Arin's parents. Just as Yuwen's motor sport drove, Fay walked out of the tavern.
Remembering Arin's last words, it seems like their status will not be a guarantee that Arin will become his life friend. Once loved a girl so much but in the end the girl liked another man. At that time Fay decided to accept an arranged match arranged long ago by the Grandfather. Still searching for reassurance on a new growing sense, Fay declares love and formalizes their relationship.
Not in front of the media, but their relationship is known to all school friends. How not, on the sidelines of Fay's pranks he looks so fond of Arin. Similarly, Arin, looks fierce to Fay but in fact very attentive.
On the way to their headquarters, which was Zaid's workshop, rain slowly fell. Fay was worried about Arin who was in Yuwen's bonnet, was the girl rained??. Want to find the whereabouts of the girl but this region is not as wide as the leaves of moringa. Turns out Fay was wrong, Yuwen stopped his motorcycle in a Chinese residential alley. Under the gate with a bright red color that Arin was stunned to see the lantern lights fill the alley in there.
"Yuwen, do all the Chinese like the color red?."
"Like it or not like it's each other's tastes. But to us the color red symbolizes luck, prosperity, happiness, courage, and love."
"Love?."
Love, Arin looks at the rain while thinking about the meaning of love in his heart. Indeed, the feeling has grown fertile, unfortunately already withered before developing.
"Love...What do you think love is?."
"Against whom?."
"Love is pink, against the opposite sex." Arin explained the meaning of the question.
Lean on the gate while folding both hands on the chest. Yuwen stared at the rain with a slight look"Love like that yeah, maybe the same as when we were holding a sparrow."
The difference in height that is quite a lot makes Arin look up to look at Yuwen"Brown flat?."
"Yes" he said, nodding"You can make it loose if you are too weak to hold it, but you can make it die if you hold it too tightly. So to me that love is mediocre."
"Oh" Arin was seen nodding as well.
For a moment this girl was silent again, again the drizzle of the rain seized her attention but not with her mind. So far Yuwen has been one of the places to share stories, in addition to his three female friends. Given the light debate earlier, he wanted to pour out everything in his heart.
"Yuwen, can I tell you a story?."
"About Fay?."
Spontaneous Arin turned to him, and he found this young man smiling again. Regardless of what kind of heart Yuwen had, Arin felt free to pour the burden on his chest, which could always calm him down.
"Heem" Arin's subtle muttering voice, this girl often accompanies the mutter with a nod. The pair of eyes that had already looked narrower and narrower, Yuwen laughed even more.
"Just tell me, I'm ready to listen."
Under the raindrop Arin recounts his encounter with Fay earlier, he also recounts how selfish a Fay is, asking him to apologize after anchoring a kiss to another girl. As a woman, it is very difficult for her to forgive. Especially after the incident there was never an apology from Ayaka, while everyone at school knew that Fay and himself were lovers.
"How much do you love him?."
"From 1 to 10" Yuwen added. Just as the rain was swept away by the wind, Yuwen immediately grabbed a handkerchief in his bag.
For the first time Arin's heart stuttered, Yuwen gently rubbed the shoots of his head using the handkerchief.
"Maybe eight" he replied after easing a thump in the chest.
"Eight only?. Why?" This young man was still busy wiping the top of Arin's head. The tall body was now in front of him, blocking Arin from being exposed to the increasingly heavy rain.
One more time, why did Yuwen look so bright under this crying sky?. Arin almost pulled his body exposed to the rain to get closer to him, but as much as possible he maintained the sanity of the soul.
"Since he has disappointed me" Arin finally answered Yuwen's question.
"At least there's still love in your heart for her. If you can forgive, it is better to forgive. You can't judge all this from your point of view, just listen to it when Fay explains. I noticed when you told me that you always refused to explain in detail."
"They're kissing!!. What other reason do I need?!."
"It could be Ayaka kissing Fay. So Fay got carried away like he said."
"Yuwen!!. You're defending Fay?. Oh is it because you're a species?" Arin was angry but looked adorable in Yuwen's eyes. For the sake of easing the emotions of Yuwen's best friend immediately cupped both hands in the chest.
"Sorry!. I'm just trying to think positively, because from what you're telling me Fay looks like he loves you a lot. As a fellow man I know very well how a man behaves towards the woman he loves."
"Akh stop!. You and Fay are the same. You have the same mind."
Holding both arms of Arin"Sorry Miss Arin. Okay well, Fay is 100% wrong. A man like him should be hanged."
"That's dong!." Arin was delighted that Yuwen was back on his side.
"But hanging Fay on a toge tree, huh? I'm sorry if he's really dead."
"Hufa!!" Arin went out of control, he laughed at Yuwen's words.
"Recorating, not funny!."
"But you laughed."
"Dwelling. Not really!."
"That's you laughing sweet Miss Arin."
"Yuwen!! your mouth is good at saying sweet. Be careful, don't become a habit!. I don't want you to really be a nine-tailed Fox that's good at snaring prey."
"I am indeed a Nine-tailed Fox, though only a junior."
"Aish!! Yuwen. You ever get stabbed by a girl?" Arin offered a fist towards Yuwen.
Yuwen didn't want to lose, he also clenched his fists"Whose fists are big?."
Feeling constantly on the ledge, Arin tries to step on Yuwen's foot, but nimbly he dodges, many times this happens. Arin's annoyance made the young man even more chuckle but they ended up laughing together in the rain which slowly subsided.
"At least you're laughing now" whispered the heart. Apparently since departing from the tavern, Yuwen realized there was a nervousness that was hugging the sweet girl's heart.
