Aira's Choice Man

Aira's Choice Man
Eps 4's



Devano closed the door and walked into the living room. He threw himself on the sofa. Raising one hand over his eyes. He recalled the tiny hand of Aira he held all the way. I don't know since when Devano started thinking about Aira, and started to notice her silently


Devano has known that Aira lived opposite him since a few weeks ago. But initially Devano intended to stay silent and pretended not to know. But she often felt guilty for Aira if she came home late at night. He felt Aira would wait a long time outside, and he did not want to be the cause of someone sick because staying up late or catching a cold.


Devano first saw the pink-hated girl on his way home, and it belonged to his disrespectful neighbor. The second time he saw a girl with the same posture and hat on the ground floor of his apartment. Although his face is not visible, Devano remembers the hat. A few days later Devano saw a girl sitting outside the minimarket near his house wearing the hat again. Then at the XMC studio, the hat was again seen poking out of the bag belonging to one of the staff who accidentally nudged someone else. Reminds Devano of his neighbor again.


But shortly afterwards Aira picked up the bag and took it home. Devano just smiled seeing Aira turned out to have the same hat.


Devano never thought Aira and her neighbors were the same person. But on the way home, he saw someone in a pink hat sitting on the garden bench while looking down to eat ice cream. Devano was stopping at a red light intersection, looking at the girl until he was unaware of the green light. Then someone pressed a long horn behind Devano's car to make the girl turn towards the cars there.


It was Aira. With pink pet hat. A long-sleeved oversize shirt with sleeves rolled up, one end of his shirt put into a pair of jeans. Devano.


Devano then drove his car into the parking lot. He immediately ran out of the building to meet Aira in the park. But he didn't find it.


Devano wondered what the Aira was doing in this neighborhood. Devano begins to suspect that Aira is his neighbor.


A few days later, he saw the hat again. This time in the security post. Aira was chatting and laughing. 'What exactly is Aira doing around her house?' devano. He suspected, Don't you be right that Aira is his neighbor?.


Devano decides to go up to his house and watch his neighbor through the peephole. He waited for 10 minutes before finally seeing his neighbor come home, settling down and looking down. After pressing the passcode, the girl turned her head towards Devano's door. 'That's her.. It was Aira' Devano said inwardly.


Devano decided to go down to the security post and asked what the girl was doing here.


"She stopped by quite often, usually bringing a small meal for us and then having a light conversation. He said he was waiting for his neighbor to come home, then he would go up" said one security guard.


"True, he said his neighbors should not know his whereabouts because they are one place of work and will feel awkward. Looks like they don't get along" said another officer.


'Excellent, he can even gossip here' Devano thought. "When did he know his neighbor was home? “ ask Devano again.


"He saw a light up there" said one of the officers, pointing up "but we don't know which light" he said, shrugging his shoulders.


"That's ridiculous. What if the lights don't turn on until 3 a.m? " Devano said.


"He'll be in after 12 p.m. He said his neighbor might not be home tonight, so he went upstairs. She's a nice and friendly girl, we love her" the officer replied smilingly.


Devano starts to feel sorry for Aira. Since then, Devano has always tried to get home faster and deliberately watched Aira return through the peephole at his door. Some times even Devano was upset because his work was done longer and he did not calm thinking Aira had to wait outside the apartment. While he had no reason to talk about it to Aira. The worried thoughts made him angry and sometimes spilled them on Aira.


Also tonight.


Devano doesn't really like the idea of dinner. It will only make them come home late and he feels sorry if Aira still has to roam outside. Aira was petite, dark-haired and very feminine. He felt Aira was the type of girl to be protected. Therefore he just pulled Aira's hand in front of everyone.


Devano arrived2 gasped, sitting upright aware of his actions. "Aaahh was right too.. What am I supposed to say to that nosy 2nd man?" He said he was imagining Toddy, Yansen and Erigo who would never forget tonight.

Aira was silent looking at the closed door of Devano's house. 'He does not hate me, he said.. Though his attitude was always very unfriendly' thought Aira. He went in, took a shower and got ready for bed. Aira looked at her hand, still feeling Devano's grasp. Her heart pounding fast made Aira feel claustrophobic herself. Aira got up to the kitchen and took a glass of water. 'No.. Don't think about it Aira.. He's just a freak' thought Aira.


He checked the timetable attached to the fridge door. From tomorrow until the next two weeks he can relax because there is only a joint training schedule of the members.


"mmm.. No makeup needed, no wardrobe and accessories.. That's great.." Aira spoke to herself as she stepped into her room to rest.


Aira was just lying down as her phone rang displaying Winne's name on her screen. Ohh no... Tonight it looks like he will stay up late for a lengthy explanation on Winne.

Monday morning. Aira was preparing to leave. He wears a knee-length short-sleeved vintage dress, a small floral2 motif, combined with a mini belt at the waist. Aira let her hair down, wearing thin makeup. Instead of 2 wearing a contact lens, Aira chose to use round glasses and spray perfume. He's going to book rentals to return some novels and borrow new ones, visit his parents and come back after dinner.


Aira had just walked out of her house when Devano's front door opened. The man was wearing casual clothes, a t-shirt, shorts, a hat and sneakers. It seems like a morning exercise schedule.


This was the first time they met when they left the house. Usually Aira always leaves early just to avoid meeting Devano. But from now on, he will go home and leave as usual.


Aira nodded her head slightly "morning.. " Report it to Devano.


'The atmosphere is strange, but it makes Aira look more beautiful' Devano thought.


"No.. Just walk the road "Aira answered.


The elevator moves down.


Devano. "You want to go on a date? “ Devano asked. He wanted to bite his tongue. 'What is my business?' Inner Devano.


"Don't be silly. It's still Monday and you're asking about a date?" Aira asked back.


Devano shrugged. "You look different"


Aira smiled "What is a compliment?" said it.


Devano smiled back. "So you want to come down?" Ask again.


Aira's smile is gone. He glanced in the direction of Devano. "I don't think that's any of your business. I'm dating myself" said Aira, putting one hand on her chest and smiling proudly.


As the elevator opened, he stepped out and walked away from Devano.


Okay. Devano will try. Devano catches Aira's wrist. "What are you riding on? Which way?" Tanya then immediately let go of Aira's hand.


Aira pointed to "there.. I'd like to return some books. Just walk, it's not far." Say Aira again.


"I'll take you" Devano said.


Aira weighed for a moment "no need, thank you.. I'm just walking".


Devano looked at him "you sure?" Ask.


Aira nodded "mmm... I consider it a sport" said aira.


Devano didn't say anything, making Aira unwell. "i'm going to the book rental place at the intersection there, then I'm going to the cafe opposite it.."


Devano still silently looked at Aira. "Laluu.. I'm going to my parents' house" said aira again.


He tucked the hair behind his ear nervously and scratched it at a glance "why am I even talking about that with you?" Confused speech.


Devano laughed at Aira's "Ahahaha manner... Where do I know.. You reckon?"


"Maybe I feel a little guilty rejecting your offer" Aira replied smiling. He only realized that Devano looks charming when laughing.


"Then, let me drop you off" Devano tried again.


Aira shook her head "no need, I'm fine. You yourself will be late if you do not leave immediately" said Aira.


Devano glanced at the clock in his hand "you're right" he said again. "It's okay if I go first?"


Aira just nodded


"All right then. Be careful when crossing" Devano reminded.


"OK..!!" Said Aira smiling.


Devano's move could have been dangerous for his current situation ahead of the release of Summer's album. If one were to wet himself alone with a girl, even if it was his neighbor, it would potentially ruin his reputation with rumors that would definitely be exaggerated.


Not only Devano, but all members will be affected. Devano realized it, but could not help it. He was really interested in Aira. He'll try every way.
