Way Back To You
The Real Love Expression

“I've watched Hazer's press release. Guys, isn't he a very responsible man? He's cool, you guys have to admit it.”

“Hazer, it's lucky your fiance has a man like you. I envy.”

“His engagement is her priority at the moment because she is pregnant. Jesus, Hazer, you are so sweet.”

“Imagine she willingly left her identity as a famous model for the sake of her fiance. Isn't that amazing?”

“It's rare that I see a public figure as authoritative as Hazer. Hazer, I support you. Return to the world of entertainment.”

“It looks like I'm sorry I threw away your Hazer photo card. Never think you can leave the entertainment world before you issue a new photo card.”

“Mommy, I want that Hazer so bad.”

“Hazer, spirit. We will always be behind you. Go forward my idol.”

Noah could not hide the happiness in his heart when he read all the comments in every media. After the press conference, his heart was not afraid to think about the impact they had to face. Liam's career is on the edge, the stakes are too big. But Noah has promised to support all of Liam's decisions, including if he has to retire early from the modeling world.

Money can be sought, careers pursued. But a friend like Liam can't always be found.

“It looks like your face is quite glowing. You won the bet again?” search Liam.

The two were spending the afternoon in the basement, enjoying a few glasses of wine. Hanna is resting inside her room while Bobby and Lona are on their way to Liam's house.

“This is more great than betting.” Noah laughed a little. “...although I do not know how the outcome of this gamble in the future, but just reading his positive comments alone makes me very satisfied. They turned around in support of you.” Noah Excited.

Liam smiled a little. He had read it in Hanna's room while waiting for her to fall asleep. But still he still has to face worse than all the brand representatives who signed him. Although most fans back to support it, it does not mean that the brand representatives follow their steps and support it. Liam could only calm down if they had already made an official decision, whether it was still continuing the contract or even canceling it.

“Hei, stop.” Noah patted Liam's back. “You once told me if there was a time when we couldn't get two things at once. Sometimes we have to sacrifice something else if we want to keep what we think is more valuable. Trust me, you will meet a more promising career from this model world.”

Liam took a sip of wine in his glass then his gaze was blank. Right, he said that once. But living reality is much harder than just expressing it with words. Liam wakes up to prove his ability in the world of modeling and acting, and when his career is at the top, in fact he must be forced down himself from there. Liam let out a long sigh, then lowered his head. But it's okay. Hanna was already waiting for him downstairs with their baby. So it's okay if he has to go down the ladder of success to the bottom in order to survive with Hanna.

“How about.” Noah glanced at his phone as it rang. “Representation of one of the brands. Just sec. I pick up first who knows important.”

Liam's heart beats faster as Noah shows him the phone screen, showing him who contacted him. He cannot lie if he is worried about waiting for their final decision which should have been out after his press conference yesterday.

“They asked to meet with us, but I told you you were still calming Hanna. So I'll meet them and let you know as soon as I can.” Noah put his jacket back on. “Remember, don't think too much about all this. Just let it flow as it is.”

Liam nodded. He waved his hand at Noah until he was lost at the end of the stairs. Liam is back on his own, enjoying the wine all by himself. It felt like only this time he could relax without thinking about anything. He took another sip of the wine, then picked up the bottle of wine he bought from abroad a few years ago. “It feels pretty good.” murmured. “Newly this time I can feel the true taste of wine.”

As Hanna went down the stairs, she stopped as Liam seemed to be thinking about something. Deep down Hanna still feels really guilty for Liam, but they have promised if there is no remorse in their relationship. It takes sacrifice if they want to achieve complete happiness because not everything can be achieved freely, he said, and they both gave their best for a better future together.

They gave everything they had.

Without Liam realizing it, Hanna was already behind him and hugged Liam's neck gently. Hanna closed her eyes, inhaling the scent of Liam's masculine neck. Liam took off Hanna's circle of hands, and twisted the body until the two faced each other.

“When I realized you weren't around, I woke up and couldn't sleep anymore. You all right? Why themselves? Noah home?”

Liam nodded. “She went to take care of something. I left you because I wanted to talk to Noah about something, so I'm sorry that I didn't accompany you on.”

Liam's low and gentle voice left every joint of Hanna paralyzed. He really didn't want Liam to continue pretending to be okay in front of Hanna. When he saw Liam from the stairs, Hanna knew that Liam was still thinking about the contract and the penalties he would pay.

“Liam.” Hanna put both her hands on Liam's face. “If you want to cry, it's okay. Cry as long as it can make you okay.”

“You why the hell Han? I'm a man, how could I cry? What makes me cry anyway?”

Hanna clasped Liam tightly, drowning the man in her warm embrace. “Males also have feelings, can be hurt, disappointed, angry, sad, worried. It's all the emotions that exist in a human being, no matter if he's a man or a woman. If you want to cry, just cry. Don't pretend to be strong in front of me because I love you and all the things that are attached to you. You can show me your weakest side and stop pretending.”

Liam looked up at Hanna. “What did you say?”

“Which one?” Hanna asked back.

“After word if you want to cry.”

Hanna thought for a moment. “Crying only and don't pretend strong.”

“Not, not that. After that.”

In her heart Hanna already knew which sentence Liam meant, but she chose to pretend not to know. “You can show your weakest side.”

“Not that. Before that.”

Hanna could not help her smile. He looked at Liam closely. “I love you.” His whisper.

For the first time, Hanna said that she loved Liam in this calm state.

“Say once again.” pinta Liam.

Hanna distanced herself, but Liam held her body in his arms. “Say once more.” whispered Liam.

A warm kiss landed on Liam's lips. Hanna smiled at him as she spoke again: “I love you.”

Liam didn't take off Hanna's lips again. She kisses Hanna, initially to shake off the woman's desire to dodge from her. But in any case, Hanna attached her body to Liam as usual. Hanna's lips opened to feel the touch of Liam's warm tongue. He again felt a stinging sensation flowing in his body as Liam cupped his face in a gamang. Hanna's two hands crept up slowly to Liam's neck, stopping there and Hanna wrapped her arms around him as a restraint to keep him from falling as Liam caught him.

“I hope we still have a little time.” whispered Liam on his lips.

Hanna chuckles. He knew that Bobby and Lona would soon have arrived, and of course they didn't have enough time left.

“Later to connect again.” whispered Hanna.

Once again Hanna pressed her lips against Liam's, until they both heard a horn coming from outside.
