ADORE YOU'S

Episode 3

Next day

            Naomi had woken up from earlier, but she seemed unable to move. Not unable to move. He's misbehaving.

How not? When he opened his eyes Jeff was on the carpet right in front

the sofa was looking straight at Naomi with a glare. Not smiling or pouting, just staring at him without saying anything.

“Se-good morning, sis.” Greet Naomi after a long face-to-face drama

“Ehmmm, morning Naomi.” Said Jeff lazy but still staring at him

 “Se-after shower I'll go straight home. Thank you for letting me stay here.” Naomi then bowed politely and ran to the bathroom.

“No need to rush home, here it is okay. There's Dian's mom coming soon. Oiya, Hari

here I'm going to go home for a little while to my grandmother's house to meet her and meet Niel.” Said Jeff whose end was sitting with disheveled hair

Naomi stops right in front of the bathroom, “Thank you, sis.” Smile while getting in the shower.

‘It turns out brother Jeff cute’ Naomi smiled shyly while repeating the moment stared at by a cool but also cute man and then tendered her head on the bathroom wall.

“My heart can take this off, geez.” His screams held.

Naomi came out of the bathroom and found Jeff still sitting on the carpet a few minutes later.

Jeff picks up the phone next to him and looks for the phone number he was in contact with

lazy, lazy,

“Halo. Yes mbak. This is my friend here, please help if he needs anything, yes. Thank you.”

Jeff paused for a moment, looked at Naomi who was standing in front of him then as fast as lightning repeated back the memory a moment ago.

‘How can, while sleeping he still stay that sweet?’ Jeff thought for a moment after he opened his eyes and looked at Naomi who was fast asleep on the sofa. Her brown hair was blushed behind her ears, her eyelashes were long

although viewed from a short distance away, her pink-colored lips were somewhat manyuning as if they were sulking in her dream. She looked at Naomi long before she opened her eyes and saw herself being stared at by Jeff. He was at a loss for what to say after being caught staring at the sweet creature. Until they both fell silent and awkward.

Jeff smiled as he mumbled softly, “I'm crazy.”

“Why brother?” naomi's question successfully broke Jeff's daydream.

“It's okay.”

        Jeff was dressed neatly with a drizzly wrap that was combed back and was sipping a cup of coffee while looking out the large window facing directly towards the office buildings.

While Ma'am Dian who was told Jeff was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for them.

 “Again, Mbak. Already done changing his clothes?” mother Dian asked politely but managed to surprise Naomi

 “Again, mbak. Yes, sorry I was a bit long. When did it come?” Say hello to Naomi while sitting in front of the dining table directly opposite the housekeeper.

 “Barusan, mbak. Soon her breakfast is ripe. Wait a minute, yeah.”

 Naomi nodded excitedly. While jeff is still engrossed in the activities of coffee while looking at the outside world.

“Sister Jeff.” Call Naomi shriek but Jeff is still able to hear her.

“Ya?” answer Jeff briefly

 “Hope is almost ready. You are not.”

“I don't eat breakfast, you have nothing to worry about. I have to go after this.”

Disappointed look clearly on Naomi's face, is he really Jeff who last night told a long story and laughed with her until late at night?

The sweet girl bit her sandwich in silence. And occasionally look at Jeff's back who looks busy picking up bags and jackets lying around brown cardboard.

“I go first.” Said Jeff to no one, Sister Dian who was busy tidying up Jeff's clothes that had not been dismantled or on Naomi who nibbled on her sandwich with a frown.

At Jeff and Daniel's grandmother's house

“Again, Nek.” Sapa Jeff while hugging Grandma Ami who was watering orchids and roses are flowering beautifully in the front yard of the house.

There are many other plants but Jeff calls them all ornamental grasses. Her grandmother always told her the names of plants that were there, such as Ariocarpus, a type of cactus that is not spiny. Then amaryllis, orchids, roses, white lily, and begonias but still he called it ornamental grass.

“I've only been to college a day, Grandma. I haven't been around college, let alone flirting

girls. And you need to know, in the foundation, the majority of men. Yes to tease men?” reply Jeff cheekikian greeted with a pinch on Jeff's cheek to make his complaint.

“Ayo, come. Enter first. You must not have had breakfast, right?”

“I never had breakfast, did grandma forget?”

“Basic you are. Breakfast is important for your body. How.”.

Not finished talking, Jeff kissed Grandma Ami's cheek and ran into the house.

“Basic you brat, grandma hasn't finished talking. Hey Jepri..”.

“Niel~..” cried Jeff

“Hmm, what's wrong?” reply Daniel who was busy watching Spongebob while chewing his snacks without glancing at Jeff.

“What are you doing?"

"Watch on." Daniel answered briefly

"Emmm, you know, Naomi. Your friend who yesterday.”

“Naomi? Sure oes. She is so cute right, especially when she laughs, I feel so happy just by looking at her smile.” Daniel said giggling

“Hey, I'm not done talking yet. You like her?”

“Of course. Even the class at school loved it. If she wants maybe I've made her my girlfriend.” Daniel replied innocently with a big smile.

“Eh, But Vishnu who blatantly shows that he likes Naomi.”

Jeff was silent for a moment, how much was his rival?

Wait for..

Wait for..

Wait for..

Wait for..

A rival?

A rival??

I said rival?

“Why?” ask DAniel to break Jeff's turmoil.

“Bu-nothing. Oh yes today you don't want to go out?” jeff asked to switch the conversation.

“Ehmmm, actually I want to go to the cafe that just opened last week, said my friends the food there is good, sis.”

“Alright, let's go there.”

“Really? You're taking me out?” daniel asked widening his round eyes as he leaped for joy from his sofa

“Of course, it's been a long time I didn't take a walk in this City.”

“Give me twenty, not fifteen minutes. I'll get ready first.”

A cheerful Daniel walked into his room with a small jump. Understandably, it had been three years he had not met and spent time with his beloved brother. Since living in Indonesia with his grandmother, Daniel very rarely went out of the house during holidays. Unless her grandmother takes her to the supermarket. Daniel likes to be alone in his room to read books, practice with his piano or just watch television in the living room.

 “Naomi?” whispered Hangyul when he saw the Lock screen image on Daniel's phone lying on the sofa that was lit because there was an incoming message.  Jeff chuckles in anxiety, Daniel seems to really idolize Naomi. “Imut once they both this.”

As reminded, Jeff's smile changed to a flat face after realizing that he was behaving unlike his usual self.

What the hell am I doing? I'm bonkers..

I've really gone crazy..

"I'm crazy" said Jeff, half-frustrated as he beat his own head.
