I knocked on the door—patiently, trying to calm myself ever more.
*KNOCK KNOCK
No answer~~
My patience is running out. I knock—this time with more force.
After 10 minutes of hard work. Finally I hear footsteps approaching, opening the door. I wait desperately.
Minato is wearing a sweater… familiarly a pink one, loose and his neck was clearly visible—Minato is glowing like a sun. He yawned; His eyes were tired, annoyance was clearly showing in his eyes. He looked like he was trying to figure out why I am here.
My eyes are wide open, not even trying to close… lost. My anxiety fell, my hands stopped trembling.
"Why are you here late at night?"
Minato glared; Annoyance is clearly visible in his way of talking but hiding beautifully—looking down.
Minato finally glanced at my face; His face became red in embarrassment.
"Why are… you look at me that way?"
Looked down, Minato thought, why is he blushing like that…
I look at his small figure, covering in my shadow, "Cute…" My words slipped out my mouth. Minato looked at me in shock.
"Huh??"
My eyes meet his—complete silence. My face became more red in embarrassment—saying my thoughts out loud. An awkward environment engulfes us; Waiting for others to break.
CUTE… CUTE… CUTE. This one word echoes repeatedly in Minato's mind.
Why is he acting weird… Minato looked at Lion blankly. 2 minutes later;
"Hmm what your business."
Minato talked first with a straight face and wanted to hear his nonsense—quickly.
"Huh" I sigh.
How can I ask him about the cafe staff… Lion forced himself to think something to make excuses to ask about his curiosity about Minato plus without any hint. But can he put it on?
"Tomorrow you are free…"
My voice was low in tone—filled with nervousness. I just blurted what came into my mind first. I glance at Minato.
"Why are you asking me if I am free or not?"
Minato's voice was heavy in pain but not showing. He doesn't even ask me how I am from the past month. Now he is asking if I am free?? Minato clenched his hands in anger… or in despair…
I look at him in confusion. It feels like he is kinda angry.
"Hm… I have something to do and I need help so…"
I smile;
"So why are you asking me if there are so many people left on earth?"
Minato strikes back with common sense. Why me… where is his damn lover…
"Just… hm…"
I got more confused why he is arguing now. I just ask a simple question, ya he can just answer yes or no. Why make it more complicated?
Minato sighs; crossing his arms with a cold look.
"I have work tomorrow, it's common why you are making a big deal out of nothing ."
I doubt myself, Ya Minato is right it's literally too common wah… how can I be that dumb.
Lion whined inside while making a straight face—like nothing matters.
"Where do you… need to go…?"
My voice was barely audible. I wasn't able to see his eyes.
"Huh??"
"Obviously a cafe… where I can go to work anyway. I am the owner."
Minato looked at Lion in disappointment. His patience wears thin to end the conversation and just sleep.
"Ya ya I know… I saw you with someone in a cafe."
I mumble while acting as I know everything.
"Oh that was my partner you don't know I even tell you about my friend. What kind of memory do you have?"
Minato says with confusion.
Lion nod; Thinking So that person was his friend and he telling me that he tells me about his so called-friend. When friends have that kind of relationship. Is he lying…?? Or not??
"If you have some time please tell me. I am waiting."
I announced; Minato looked at me and smile—formly.
"Can you go now?"
"Yeah."
I stepped back; stroking my neck with an awkward smile. I turned around, walking out from Minato's room. I stopped, calculating something. Pop* I look behind my back;
Suddenly… The door slammed on my face. I stumbled back in panic, grabbing my chest in fear. What just happened.
"Why HEE…??"
[Lion glared at the door as blaming. He crossed his arms and started to walk toward his room.]
"Why did I even come here?" I pouted. I just want to ask him about that man and why he is close with him but nah… God needs another fate.
"What I can do."
I grabbed my head in frustration while cursing every word that came to my mind. I entered the room with full energy
Nothing happened energy; I looked around and didn't see that bitch so that bitch in his room; Woah today is going to be good.
I take few steps in relief and lean on the bed—staring at the ceiling. I smiled; turned… So he is just a friend, nothing more right. Ya;
[Lion eyes were filled with suspicion or some kind of relied—unknowely.]
I sigh; Let's think later…; I closed my eyes—calming myself even more. But in my head that one word was not stopping.
