ADORE YOU'S
Episode 9
Made stays at Jeff's apartment when Hans and Yohan say goodbye. He reasoned to stay
because it was very sleepy, but he planned to interrogate Jeff who behaved no
as always. As he saw a few moments ago when Jeff
sounding very annoyed at Yohan's usual jokes and taking her phone roughly.
Made grabbed Jeff by the shoulder and pulled him to sit on the sofa. The confused Jeff simply followed Made and sat in silence.
“Tell me everything.” Made without further ado
Both of Jeff's eyebrows were raised in confusion by Made's words. As if to know that his friend was confused, Made began to tell his suspicions on Jeff's unusual attitude.
“You're behaving like never before, Jeff. A while ago, I didn't mean to follow you when you were on the phone. But as far as I know, you've never been rude to anyone else, let alone your own friend. I'm sorry if I had to eavesdrop on your conversation earlier. The three of us, me, you and Yohan are very often joking until we swear by each other even dirty words very often
throw and we hear, beat each other and act as if we are angry, but it's all just a joke. Today you seem very clearly not joking. You why?”
Jeff was silent, as if he was hesitant to start telling stories. But Made's gaze seemed to demand her to tell a story.
“I don't why-why.” Shall Jeff
Made looked at Jeff a long time ago, then smiled as he rubbed Jeff's head, messing with Jeff's hair to be exact.
“I know you're not okay. I'll be there to listen to all your stories, when you want
story of course.”
“Actually..”.
Jeff hesitated for a moment to continue his sentence, but Made's gaze seemed to demand an explanation
more.
“Alright, I think it's a shame to admit, but it makes me very angry. Not angry at Yohan or the others, I was angry at myself.”
“Why?” ask Made again
“A week ago, Yohan came here to ask me for help to write romantic words in
english, I thought it was to seduce the girl, because she looked so nervous when I read out the contents along with the meaning of the words that were mostly the lyrics of a song.”
“Then, how did that upset you?”
“I know for whom the letters were addressed. To Naomi.”
“To Naomi? You're angry for something so trivial? You guys boycott once.”
“You think this is childish, Huh?”
Jeff's tone rose a level higher than usual, his facial features hardened like he was holding back
angrier.
“You think Yohan would know about your feelings for Naomi if you just shut up and didn't tell her? Naomi
not your boyfriend, is it? So who's actually childish here? You're just jealous, Jeff.”
Jeff was instantly speechless at Made's words, he had just realized how cowardly he was
he was jealous and threw anger at his best friend.
Made rubbed Jeff's back gently, just like the brother who wanted to comfort his younger brother who was
grieve.
“You are not entirely wrong. Yohan is not wrong either. You guys just misunderstood. Actually from this you
can take the positives, because you know that she likes Naomi but not with Yohan, you can steal the start to approach her first.”
Jeff looked at Made with a made-up look of shock, unexpectedly the suggestion from Made made the look on Jeff's originally wry face become brighter, even brighter, Made who was anxious at the attitude of his friend was just smiling while pinching Jeff's cheek.
“I'll start her today.”
Made slightly tilted his head as he was somewhat confused by the sentence Jeff had just uttered.
“Why suddenly...”
“I will blatantly show that I also like Naomi.”
Made sighed heavily and then hit Jeff's arm in frustration. It seems he misjudged. Although it looks fierce with a well-built body, athletic and face that
thug-able, in fact Jeff is just an ordinary man who is in the early twenties who was first in love.
“Will I teach you how to approach a girl correctly, it seems you need a special advisor in terms of
romance.”

“I will blatantly show that I also like Naomi.”
A person in a navy jacket passing in front of Jeff's apartment came to a halt when he heard Jeff's words.
The apartment door that was not closed tightly made the conversation Jeff and his friend could be heard clearly by the person. Without listening to the whole conversation, someone with
the navy jacket rushes away from the apartment in big strides and looks rushed. Used newspaper like his will be thrown into the trash, thrown just like that in the hallway in front of the elevator.

“AAKH!”
Naomi yelled stifled shortly after putting on her white shoes in front of the dance room locker. After being removed, it turns out that there is a needle that was accidentally or not placed in the shoe that resulted in Naomi's foot bleeding. Foot shirts that are also white clarify the blood stains that seep on the socks.
Vishnu who came after Naomi ran over to the shoulder-haired girl who grimaced holding her leg
those.
“Naomi, why are you?” ask her half worried
Naomi's socks were soaked with blood. Vishnu hurriedly ransacked his locker, looking for some wound plaster and red medicine that he had previously placed there.
“You can walk, let me help you get into.”
Naomi simply nodded as she struggled to stand up, aided by Vishnu.
“Why get hurt like this?” ask Vishnu again while helping Naomi walk into the room
“Entah, when wearing shoes suddenly my feet bleed. It turns out there's a needle in it.”
Vishnu helped Naomi sit down and took off her sock that had been soaked with blood. Wound on Naomi's leg
it was wider than he thought. Not just a blister, but the needle had scratched Naomi's white leg.
“Who's been prank on you? Have you been in trouble with someone lately?”
Naomi shook her head while enduring the pain as Vishnu rubbed the red medicine into her wound and covered it with a wound plaster.
“I don't know, it seems like I didn't do something that sparked someone's anger. But maybe I was careless, until there was a needle into my shoe.”
“How can you think positively after someone has tricked you like this? Obviously something is intentional
“Not necessary. I'm really fine. If the others find out, they may be worried and
worse, our training will not be maximal. So I beg you, just keep the incident a secret today.”
Sighing heavily, Vishnu finally relented due to Naomi's request.
“Alright if it wants you, but if I find something like this again, I won't stay silent. I'm gonna
chase him and teach the man a lesson.”
“Hi you two, why are you here so early in the morning?”
Tanya Yohan who just came to the dance hall with shorts and a plain black t-shirt.
Naomi who noticed Yohan's presence immediately covered her injured leg with the jacket she was wearing earlier.
“We've just started training, sis.” Naomi and Vishnu answered almost simultaneously
“I'll take my shoes first.” Naomi said
“Then let me train with you, it feels like I haven't moved my body for a long time. Why are you quiet?”
Vishnu helped Naomi stand up from a long bench on the edge of the room. With a slight limp, Naomi walked over to the locker.
Yohan who noticed the way Naomi walked started to ask the girl.
“Your feet why?”
Naomi who struggled looked ordinary silent.
“Mmm. ti-it's okay, brother. Just a little scuffed because it fell.” Naomi said she was still trying to hide her foot wrapped in plaster wound.
Yohan almost ran towards Naomi, but Vishnu who was beside her tried to stop.
“Sister, it's better that Brother Yohan just continue his training, let me deliver Naomi to the infirmary. Brother don't have to worry.”
Yohan stared at those who slowly disappeared from her sight in silence. It's hard to get close to Naomi when there's that boy around.
“Cha, do you know where my to-do book I put in the desk drawer?”
Naomi asked Echa who had just come from buying a drink in the cafeteria.
“Which I know, I just came. Where did you put it?”
“I'm sure before the break, I put it in the drawer.”
Naomi starts to panic because after this there is a music lesson, if not collect the task it must be her grades will
empty and influential on the value of this semester's report.
“I helped find, maybe someone borrowed and forgot to return.”
They were both busy rummaging through almost the entire class and found nothing. Soon the lesson begins, but the book Naomi is referring to has not met either. Vishnu who had just entered the class also helped find the book after Echa told the chronology of the incident.
Echa who took the initiative to open the trash can outside the classroom found a brown-coated book that was almost destroyed.
“Naomi, is this.. your book?” ask Echa hesitating
Naomi almost ran over to Echa, but immediately grimaced in pain after realizing that her soles were injured. Trudgingly, Naomi approached and opened the Echa-held book and flipped through it page by page.
“Jeez... This is my book, but who would throw it away?” naomi almost cried when she asked
open the formless book.
JUST DIE YOU!!
DON'T BE SO PRETTY\, YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN PE***UR!!
YOU MORON!!
CRAZY WOMAN!!
“He's crazy, totally crazy. I'll beat him up if I find whoever wrote this. I'm also sure, the person who did this must have been the same person who accidentally put a needle inside your shoe this morning.” Echa said to the frightened Naomi.
“For a while we let it go first, but remain vigilant and do not let your guard down to endanger Naomi. Now we move to music class first, the bell has rung.”
Vishnu's suggestion was approved by the two girls. They took the items that were to be brought to the music room and
rush out of class before their music teacher arrives first.

Jeff, Made and Yohan had just finished their lecture this afternoon, the three of them were preparing
presentation materials for the next class in the park, which is near the canteen. Hans who has been with them lately often did not participate in discussions because he had to prepare materials for Digital Graphics courses. He was the assistant lecturer.
“Where do we start?” ask Jeff flat
Made took the task sheet that Jeff was holding and read it out loud.
“Hopeful final ability, Can explain stage designing stages. Study material: Preparation level. Concept level of planning. Prarancangan. Development stage of work design and drawing. Assessment criteria :
1. Source wealth
2. Answering ability.
3. Ability to identify
4. Analyzing ability
Hmmm. Like him we have to divide the task first. Jeff and Yohan, you're in charge of sourcing
related to this chapter. You just search the internet so that it is faster, if you can have more than five sources. For questions let me and Hans take care of.”
Yohan nodded in agreement while Jeff just kept quiet while playing his phone. Made knows, surely Jeff still feels annoyed at Yohan about the letter yesterday, to act like this.
“You listened to me, Jeff?” ask Made
“Hmm? Ah. yes, I listened. Please continue.”
Jeff looked around and found Naomi and Echa walking past the basketball court, apparently
just got out of the music room at the end of the hall. But there is something strange about Naomi's walking.
“Dia why?” jeff asked quietly, but Yohan overheard him by accident
“Like his leg was injured, this morning when in the dance room I saw the soles of his feet wrapped in wound plaster.”
Jeff was shocked to hear the answer from Yohan, not expecting that his murmur was heard by his friend.
“That's who, that's on the second floor. Isn't that Naomi's class?”
Point Made who accidentally saw someone directing a balloon filled with either water or the other, either,
the balloon looks heavy and is directed towards Naomi.
Jeff and Yohan ran almost simultaneously to Naomi.
“NAOMI, BEWARE!” jeff shouted
