"Chapter 7- traitor"

[that night...]

Laurice walked backed and forth inside of the office biting her fingernails when she was alone in the office. "what are you doing?" Evans opened their office doors with a freshly brewed cup of coffee, she paused walking back and forth and looked at Evans. "everything is fine," she smiled, he tilted his head and placed the cup of coffee in a near table, he walked closer to Laurice and pats her head. "that's not what I'm asking you, sleep-deprived woman," he frowned, Laurice looked at him in the eyes as the world suddenly stopped, "you look so familiar?" she asked as a memory flashed before her eyes,

***

"Laurice... " a familiar voice said

"for me... you resemble the moon and stars because you light up the darkness in me, in heaven and earth I will still love you and sacrifice my soul for you to be safe," the unknown man and Laurice's hand intertwined with each other.

[fast forward...]

"I heard you're leaving me... is it all true?" she stared outside the balcony smiling at the sunset, "I- I will be back! I promise you..." he took a few steps towards her, "stop... don't fvcking come near me, you're going to get married to a foreigner from Canada, Kelly her name? my best friend?" she looked at him while tears washed away by the wind. "why did you do this? just betray me like that? with... HER?" she shouted at him throwing her engagement ring, "YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" he stared at her angrily. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS COST? I HAVE ENOUGH BEING PATIENT WITH YOU CLINGY WRENCH," he strangled her on the balcony, "one lift of a finger, you'll fall... if you dare to anger me," Laurice smiled as she started to gasp for air. "I hate you... traitor," she pushed her and fell from the balcony smiling at him,

Laurice snapped from the memory and stumbled on her own.

"Laurice!" Evans worriedly shouted, "why do you sound like Ethan," tears tries to escape in her emerald green eyes as she pulled her hair slightly as tears starts flowing down. "you traitor..." she muttered as more tears kept coming down, Evans kneeled to check on Laurice quietly. 'traitor...huh...' he zoned out looking on the floor with his hand rubbing Laurice's shoulder. "let it out while you still can," Evans offered her to rant on him, she looked at him looking down at the floor. "why would I? this is personal," she stopped crying and wiped her tears. "well, you look like a lonesome introverted doll who hasn't poured her overflowing emotions out of her small jar," he sat on the floor looking at her with such soft expression.

she glanced to break the contact, "you even look like him," she slightly scoffed. "you seemed that you've really forgotten me Laurice..." she stared at him after he said his sentence, she knotted her brows "I guess you haven't recovered your memories clearly," he tapped her forehead as he slowly leaned closer and whispered in her ear. "Alexander... Evans... Evans Family, where that scumbag is my older brother, Ethan... Evans," she pushed him away with memories that began flashing before her eyes, "Alex..." he smiled as he heard his name come out from her mouth, "Laurice," he smiled...

"Klein... what kind of foods do you like?" Tristan asked, Klein looked at him with widened eyes. "Woah... since when we became close?" he raised an eyebrow while he pointed his popsicle at him. "just because you treated me dinner that doesn't mean I owe you a favor," Klein gave him a point, Tristan chuckled softly, "are you drunk? I'm just asking you what you liked because you seemed like you didn't enjoy the food," he rubs his neck as he stared at Klein.

[while eating earlier -flashback-...]

Klein and Tristan sat in front of each other awkwardly, "do you like the food?" he asked Klein, "I guess?" {Klein is the type who have a hard time expressing what he wants or what he wants to say}

---

"Oh... that... I just have a hard time expressing what I want to really say," he said laughing awkwardly, "I think the food is good, but it became so good when I'm eating with you..." Klein realized the words he said and swallowed his ice cream as reality struck him. "what?" Tristan playfully asked, "I was deaf sorry, may you repeat your words again?" he teasingly asked Klein, "Shut it will ya," Klein tries to push his face so he could stop leaning closer towards him. "I won't shut up If you won't repeat it," he smiled at him, "Okay... Fine... thank you for treating me to dinner, the food is delicious because I have someone to enjoy it with me," he genuinely smiled at Tristan.
