S1E8: The War is Begin (Part 4)

It's already been a week since McGee's demised. Two days ago, McGee followed his twin. I heard the door opened and stopped my activity. I'm looking t her, who approached me. She's in her pajama and pink cardigan as her outwear.

According to the weather forecast, tonight my city will rain. "Hey." She greets me, "what are you doing in this hour?" She's looking at my hand.

"I'm working on some project." I said. "You haven't been sleep yet?" She sat on the couch in the corner of my workshop.

I'm approaching her and sat next to her, then opened the mini fridge at the side of this couch. "I can't sleep." She answered. "What about you?" She looked at me.

I offered her a drink, but she refused. "I can't sleep either."

Rose nodded. "Do you want talk about your feeling? You seems so distant* I did not answer her question. Sometimes... I was wondering what is her mission. If she only nursing me, she will not asking me that question.

"It's okay not to be okay, Lobak. That means you're a human." That's not the point, Rose. I stand up and walked to my workbench and start carving again.

"I just... don't want to talk about it." I'm glancing at her. None of us want to speak. It's already midnight, but none of us want to break the ice. Shit, I hate this situation. I put on my chisel and looked at her.

Oh, she fell asleep. I approached her and took off my jacket as her blanket, then lay her down. She's so beautiful. Her peace face make my heart want to jump out again. What's wrong with me? I stroked her hair gently.

Honestly, I feel uneasy these days about myself because I tried to get rid of her.

"I know you already give me your best, but you don't have to, Rose." I took a deep breath. She shouldn't sleep here.

I carried her like a bridal to her room. "You so gentle, Lobak. I wish... you are mine." She said as round her arms on my neck, then hide her face in my neck niche.

Only our breath can be heard all the way to her bedroom. I'm laying her on the bed and sighed. She held my hand and smiled at me. Our eyes meet and I can feel her breath on my skin. "It's the reason you don't want to talk about it?"

She cupped my cheek. I can't escape from her gaze. Her chocolate eyes bewitched me.

"I-I'm sorry, Rose. I can't tell you the entire story." She's nodding her head, then kiss my cheek.

I picked my jacket. "Good night." She said. I closed the bedroom door, then sighed. My heart wants to jump out. Shit. What's wrong with me!?

I touched my cheek. Without realizing, I smiled. Am I already fall for her? I shook my head and took a deep breath. I'm looking at my watch and sighed. It's already late.

I heard a sound of my alarm echoing next to me. Ugh... I'm still sleepy, but I should wake up.

I rubbed my eyes and blinking my eyes several times, then turn off the alarm. It's already 06.09 AM. I should update my book and record a video for my YouTube channel today.

The event cancelled because of my health. My editor already told to the publisher, and they understand. It's time to focus on getting my life back on track, they said. Something heavy forbids my left hand to move. When I looked at it I saw she was sleeping on my arm.

What happened last night!? I tried to remember, but I couldn't. It's only madde my head hurt.

"You already awake?" I did not answer her question. I tried my best to remember what happened last night, but I couldn't. "You... didn't remember, aren't you?"

I took a deep breath and nod. At least, I'm asking.

I massage my temple and closed my eyes. "What exactly... happened to us?" She sat as she rolled my blanket to her body.

Rose took a deep breath and start explaining what happened to us that night. "You were drunk, and puke on my shirt." Drunk? Puke? I don't remember that I touched my hidden stash last night.

"H-hold on!" I sat, then looking at her. "I'm drunk?!" She slapped my face. What the fuck!? I touched my cheek.

"That's... for calling me a moron!" She gets up and left me speechless. The only problem is, I don't remember what happened. Sometimes I want to get rid of her or pretend to have her.

Now, how I apologize to her? Buy her first-class of Emirates to South Korea and meeting up with Blackpink? Well, I don't know where Blackpink whereabout and how to invite celebrity.

An idea pops up from my brain, and I rashly walked to the room. I knocked the door.

I heard a step from inside the room, and she glared at me. "I wanted to..." she slammed the door in front of my face, then locked the door.

"No!" She screamed out of her lungs. I sighed.

Maybe... I should talk to her later, or should I bribe her with another dinner? No, she didn't like it. Besides, it's only 40% chance she wants to forgive me, but... it's worth to try.

Ugh... I hate to do this. "I will tell my secrets," she opened the door with a big smile on her face.

She still wearing my blanket as her cover, then I gave her my jacket. "W-wearing this." I tried not to sees her body. We sat on the couch.

Ugh.. oh my God. "I... have someone else inside this body," she stared at me.

"I'm not pleased." She said.

Well... that didn't worked. "I'm depressed?" I raised my eyebrow. She sighed and chuckled.

"I already knew that one." Shit. I doomed.

"Honestly, I don't mind if you're not telling me." She said. I sighed in relief. That almost.

None of talking and distracted with our thoughts. What she was thinking right now, I don't know. I took a deep breath and walking to my cat cage to clean their litter and treating my cat's scabies. "Where were you going?"

Oh, my God. "Do my chores. Why? Do you need s-something?" I'm looking into her eyes and she's embracing me. It's already been a year, and this embrace is more comforting rather than hers.

I replied to her embrace, and I can hear our heartbeat in sync.

I let go of her embrace, try to resist. No, Lobak. You already have her! Don't fall to the devil's trap. I walked to the cage and leave her alone.
