Vienna
37. Archaic.

"Please promise me also--"

Reyna smelled a smile amidst sobs. "To meet me sooner in the next life!".

All the emotional turmoil, the regret, even the slightest bit of happiness ruled Val completely.

Messy, messy,

It was as if everything sounded like cheering burlesque inside his head. Val grabs Reyna's fragile body and takes her into a trap. So tight, didn't even want to take a second to let go.

Reyna's warm breath greets the recesses of her neck, Val is struck by a crazy phrase in her brain.

Surprised, even glued in silence. Reyna tried to keep herself within the limits of self-awareness. The palm that originally floated in the air due to shock, is now trying to reach the waist in a thick coat of white the interlocutor.

Thinking if it should be a nice day today, Reyna undoes her original intentions. Turning rubbed Val's wide back and chuckled smallly in a sob, making her voice stammer, choking in a breathless sting.

"H-hey.we should be happy today!"

Val doesn't care and keeps Reyna in his arms.

"Hey, I can't breathe... "

Hearing Reyna's protesting voice, Val regained her senses and immediately took off her embrace slowly. Wiping his tears rough behind Reyna's back.

"I'm sorry... "

Reyna gave a smile and wiped the rest of her tears slowly.

"Let's eat the cake before it turns to ice! " Canda Reyna managed to make Val chuckle.

"Why are you switching topics?! "

"Because you've become a crybaby!" suhut Reyna while taking a spoonful of cake, taking the top bit and thrusting it on Val.

"A." Reyna tells Val to open her mouth. Val laughed, throwing his face the other way while rubbing his nape.

"You think I'm a baby? Well, I can eat by myself! "

"Don't fuss!! A... "

Can't say anymore, Val says. He opened his mouth as big as the mouthful of cake Reyna gave him, the girl bowed in relief. Take another spoonful and put it in his own mouth. "Eummm, the cake is cold and a little hard! Your fault!! " stare at Val fiercely.

Unaccepting, Val stared at Reyna with both eyes barely rolling out.

"Why is it my fault?! "

"You talk too much! "

Val laughs, the girl is still the same as he used to be. Without expecting her arms outstretched just grabbed Reyna's head and rubbed her attentively.

"You're still the Reyna I know! "

"Of course, what do you think I'm gonna turn into? The monster?! "

Val increasingly opened his beer and spoke out loud in laughter.

"Hey, you can't turn into a monster just because I haven't seen you in a long time! "

"Then? Turned into Hyuji?! "

Ah, true. Reyna misses her best friend who she has been unable to contact for almost three days. Hyuji's house was also empty the last time Reyna arrived in daegu.

"No! that's a bad idea!! "

Laughter has become increasingly cold and dark.

"Let's finish the cake! I have to go home before it gets dark, mom must be worried about me! "

Reyna was surprised when Val stopped her fingers from picking up the cake. Reyna so clearly felt Val's long fingers rubbing the tip of her lips.

"There's chocolate on your lips! You eat like a child! Give me the spoon! "

Val grabs the spoon from Reyna's hand, turning herself to feed Reyna making the girl blink quickly, causing a strange feeling from inside Val.

"Quick swallowed, don't look at me like that" Val said as she stuffed a large spoonful of cake into her mouth.

"Hey, don't call me that outside the office! " exasperated Val, lifted the spoon to give a warning.

Reyna grabbed the paper bag next to her, gave it to Val.

"Welcome to grow old Val, sorry I couldn't give you anything fancy or something precious! "

Val accepts it, staring intensely at Reyna's bead.

"Thank you for remembering this day! Whatever you do, I hope you're always in Rey's happiness... "

Their eyes are locked. Can't turn a little.

"I'm sorry I let you down... "

Reyna clenched her lips, momentarily thinking back to all the hard life she had gone through. Then threw a warm little laugh that a Val liked.

"No, nothing bad! Consider this a life lesson! That way, I, "Reyna paused while putting her marble palm on her chest, then continued. "-and so are you!"

Reyna put her palm on Val's chest. Val quickly held back the palm, looking back at Reyna with quivering pupils. Closer to Reyna's figure until their warm breath greet each other.

Val rubbed Reyna's cheek gently, then sucked her cold fingers behind Reyna's ears. Gently greeting Reyna, making Reyna pecking with the heart felt as if it exploded instantly. A moment saw Val closed, making Reyna dissolve in the atmosphere and touch the arm of Val who was still behind his black mane. Feeling her beer slowly warm up as Val grabs her sanity deeper, so soft that Reyna's brain working system falls apart. Only Val filled his mind at this moment.

Replying briefly to the pagutan before it really ended, Reyna shed her tears again. Val stops, she moves away with each other's lips still blushing.

"When you get back to Seoul, if you don't mind, come to our party... "

Destroyed like a meteor, Reyna is fragile again. He hesitated, wanted to refuse, but could not do anything when the two soot beads looked cute.

"of course... "

Reyna was no longer able to feel the pain of the palms that began to numb and numb. Falling back and getting stuck in the same pain, accepting the fact that it was not now. Val is not his destiny.

Val pulls out an invitation from behind her thick jacket and gives it to Reyna.

Shouldn't it be, the name printed thick and gold there is the name? Him and Val? The names of both? Reyna killed her own feelings with a weapon of regret. Burying all wishful thinking and accepting the fact that it is like this that he must end.

"I'll come if nothing gets in the way, you know that customer service is not as easy as others might think!"

Val laughed awkwardly.

"Is my company too cruel? "

"Eoh..it's so cruel! "

Val was stuck, he found Reyna who had fallen apart right in front of his eyes.

"You're so mean, but you never know it! "

"Rey, I-i-"

Reyna held back Val's fingers that were about to touch her shoulders, dismissing her slowly.

"Stop getting here Val! I'll be fine, you don't have to worry about me!"

Reyna straightened her body, stood up and was about to step in if Val had not held her back.

"Rey-"

"Val, I told you I'm okay! I'm fine, and I'll be there! A party that shows you along with others! I should have been self-conscious from the start, I'm a selfish person right? "

"That's not true Rey! "

Reyna pulled away and left, getting further and no longer visible in both eyes of Val. Leaving Val stunned in tears, she brushed off all the burdens she had on Reyna. About someone who still leaves a lot of beautiful memories that are too bad if forgotten.

Val squeezed his mane full of despair.

"I'm sorry that once again the stupid one ruined you for the umpteenth time Rey! "

Val slumped between piles of cold snow on his knees, thrashing with his heavy voice, clenching, tightening his jaw.

"I'm sorry... "[]
