Rainbow Lake is one of the most beautiful places to visit at night, especially with the colorful lights adorning every fence, seat, tree, and many more ornaments decorated with knick-knacks on the lake.

Xavier took Alexis for a leisurely walk on the shores of the Rainbow lake, then sat on one of the empty chairs.

"Huh, that's great," Alexis said while taking his cell phone. "I have to take a moment for this place first."

"This is your first time visiting this place?"

"Yes, this is my first time here," Alexis replied. "Even though it's famous, I've never visited it."

"Seriously?" Xavier asked surprised

"Yes, it's true."

The gust of wind that night made Alexis, who was only wearing a crewneck, feel the cold night by holding his hands in front of his chest.

Xavier, who noticed this, immediately took off his jacket and put it on Alexis.

"Aww, thanks," said Alexis. "Is that okay?"

"It's okay, anyways; the clothes I'm wearing are also pretty thick," said Xavier.

Xavier could feel that he was starting to pay more attention to Alexis, and he realized that.

Am I falling in love with Alexis? But can I still be called Normal if I fall in love with him? Because I'm just confused about a feeling that can grow even though Alexis and I are of the same gender. Is that something Normal?

Xavier was wrestling with his thoughts as he sat chatting with Alexis.

And without the two of them realizing that it turned out that Tyler's goal, who wanted to go for a walk on his own, turned out to be Rainbow Lake.

Tyler noticed the presence of the two of them and sat in the chair they were currently sitting in; Tyler was well aware of it.

Because he was sitting right behind them, although the distance was not too close, he could recognize them both.

"Oh, so are those two of them dating?" Tyler said while drinking the lychee-flavored juice packaged in a bottle. "That's why I don't want to admit that the two are indeed related!" Tyler grumbled, annoyed because he felt lied to by his friend.

Tyler decided to sit behind them without realizing it.

"Just wait, Xavier; I can also make a game that we will play later," Tyler muttered with a sly smile seeing the two of them.

Time passed so quickly that they were finally ready to return home. There was a lot of chatter between Xavier and Alexis at that time.

"I'll take you home, okay?" Xavier said to Alexis

"Ahh, no need; I can go home alone anyway."

"But I still want to be with you," Xavier whispered.

"Hehe, later, when my house is close to yours," Alexis replied, trying to make Xavier not take him home.

Xavier was adamant about keeping taking Alexis home.

Alexis finally relented and allowed Xavier to follow him. Even though he knew he shouldn't go straight home, Alexis had his way of upsetting Xavier.

"I still want to go for a walk," said Alexis while glancing at Xavier, which indicated that he had a plan that he had planned for Xavier.

That night was different from other nights because the light of the night moon shone so brightly as if there was an omen was happening.

The moon also appears larger and closer than usual, making anyone aware of it.

That Night air is also different from usual because usually, when it's getting late, the air will be colder, but tonight it's getting warmer, and warmer that can be felt.

"Why is it suddenly a bit hot, even though it was really cold," Alexis said as he took off the jacket Xavier had lent earlier.

"Hmmm, why is it a bit hot? " Okay, let's just sit down," Invite Xavier while grabbing Alexis' hand to sit with him.

Xavier doesn't seem to want to lose Alexis that night; I don't know what's on his mind, but Xavier feels that something strange and unusual will happen, but that's just his feeling.

Why is tonight different from other nights? I think tonight there is something strange. I can feel it, but I'm confused about expressing the feelings I'm experiencing right now. But hopefully, this is nothing. I'm just afraid that if something happens. Xavier thought.

The two sat back down on the chairs on the edge of Rainbow Lake.

They still don't realize that Tyler is still following them until now.

The air that was previously normal and a bit hot had now become quite hot, so anyone outside that night must have felt the same way.

"Hmm, isn't that weird? Or is it going to rain next time?" Alexis said as he fanned his hand around his neck so he could feel the breeze cradling him.

"You also feel it; yes, I think something is wrong tonight," Xavier said while drinking a bottle of water with one gulp, and it ran out immediately.

Xavier and Alexis just sat on the edge of Rainbow lake while busy fanning something to get a gust of wind to make them feel fresh from the heat that happened that night.

"Hmmm, the weather is very bright, but how come it's hot, even though it's night!" Tyler muttered as he stood up and was about to approach Alexis and Xavier.

Because he sensed something was wrong, Tyler wanted to take the two of them home immediately.

"Shooting star"

All eyes immediately looked up when someone shouted that there was a shooting star.

"Oh, it's a shooting star, isn't it?"

"Huh, it's time, okay?"

Xavier and Alexis were amazed at the beauty of the shooting star they saw now.

But the one who noticed something strange was Tyler because he saw that the Star was getting closer and closer. But everyone looked at that without deciding to leave the Lake area immediately.

Tyler immediately ran towards Xavier and Alexis when he saw that the Star had fallen in the Rainbow Lake area.

"Watch out!!! Xavier, Alexis!" Tyler shouted from a distance while running toward where the two of them were sitting.

But it feels like Tyler's shouting is too late because something rapidly descended as a shooting star landed in the middle of Rainbow Lake.

"BAMMMM!!!"

A big bang occurred instantly, and the waves of the suppressed lake water immediately spilled ashore.

Xavier and Alexis, closest to the scene, couldn't go anywhere.

And Tyler, who was about to run towards them, was swept away by the overflow water waves from the lake due to the object's pressure.

"AAAAA!!!!"
