Cannot Be Touched

26. I'M SCARED

***

Jiho was sitting in his study. He looks agitated.

"Aaarrrhhhh, this drives me crazy, until when I will avoid it, I can't keep going like this, it's been three days" Jiho yelled annoyed at himself.

During these three days, he had always dodged if he met Sia. Jiho recalled each of those ridiculous events.

First while in front of his house, Jiho came out of the house, when he wanted to pass by Sia's house, and, Sia suddenly came out and Jiho hurriedly went back in right back into his house with the lightning speed he was running.

Second, in the morning, in the landfill, Jiho would throw away his garbage, which had been very piled up when it reached the landfill, he saw Sia standing there picking trash to throw away, Jiho immediately hid in the wall, not wanting Sia Lee to see it.

Third, when at the park, Jiho was running in the morning, complete with his gym clothes and small towel, he saw Sia from a distance, when he was panicking instead of playing, he looked around looking for a place to hide, he hid behind a tree in the garden.

"Because we're neighbors, I always meet him everywhere, I can't remember all the things that happened yesterday when I drank, I told you I can't drink, why? why did he give me two pages? I can't ask and this makes me think hard" Jiho sat down at his desk holding his head, he was obviously still restless and confused.

"I remember that I cried in front of him about that goldfish, even that really embarrassed me, I never showed that side of myself to anyone else before, never before, this is my first time, because I'm always alone and always alone and I never show my emotions towards others, this is for the first time and he lives by my side" Jiho imagined Sia.

"Don't ..without me knowing I've depended on it? should I thank him for comforting me that day? Aisshhh is a shame" Jiho couldn't bear to remember the incident, so he buried his face in the hand he put on the table.

"The Sad author of Harmonica? for secrecy reasons, I can't give you her phone number, if I may know what's the matter?" Ask one of the staff at the printing department across the phone.

Sia was at a cafe, sitting alone calling the staff of the publisher's office asking for her mother Jiho's phone number and home address.

"Mmmmmm......" Sia muttered, not knowing what to answer, but before Sia answered the staff had spoken again.

"If this is so important, I can give you the email address, how?" Ask the staff.

"Yaudah I'm fine, then you give me the email address yes, I just search the paper and pen first, okay mention.iyaaa okay thank you ya..bye"

Tuutt....Sia hung up on him.

"Good, I got the email address, good thing I thought about contacting the publisher's office, why didn't the chicken think about it and look for it? hmm I should send him an email" Sia said to herself.

He stared at the Sad Harmonica book in his hand.

"Now I have one more page, this is the last chance, so I feel guilty and send it two pages at a time, come to think of it now, I shouldn't have done that" Sia closed the book and put it back in her bag.

Sia sipped her drink.

"At least I found a way to cure his OCD, and if he met his mother it was likely that his OCD would improve and I would be free to touch him, eventually I would succeed......get ready you chicken" Sia smiled wryly while keeping her glass back on the table.

"Mom-mom see this" A boy and his mother sit next to Sia's desk.

The boy spilled his own ice cream.

The boy's voice resuscitated Sia from her babbling alone.

"Oh my goodness, my mother has told me that eating ice cream is careful, so get dressed, see the clothes get dirty" Said the boy's mother while cleaning up the ice cream stains on the child.

The boy just smiled broadly at his mother.

"When the chicken was little, maybe she was just a normal kid in general with a bright smile like that kid, and I never saw her smile" Inner Sia while looking towards the mother and the child.

Sia again took a sip of her drink, and she looked out the window blankly, she recalled all the events she had experienced back then.

"Looking back to my life now, I've never been alone, I've always been popular at school, because I'm a charming girl just like any other vampire, with both my sister and my parents, the house is always crowded and I also have friends who care about me, I never feel lonely" Sia said in her heart..

"Huuuhh" Sia let out a long sigh.

"How does it feel to be left out? after being rejected so many times, she completely shut herself off from others and was always alone, I can't imagine how lonely she was" Sia daydreamed while imagining Jiho's figure.

Sia looked back at the Sad Harmonica book, that.

Deg deg......

Jiho's face was very pale, he tried to move his hand to dare to squeeze the bell of the house in front of him.

His hand almost touched the bell, but in a hurry he pulled it back, he undoed his intention.

"Uughh, I can't, I can't suddenly come to her house just to say thank you, must be very strange, but should I see her? I've never thanked anyone before" Jiho said as he looked at the hand he pulled.

"Should I just call her? or maybe I could just text him? but ah that's all rude, not gentle, but what am I supposed to do now? well, maybe I'll thank her when I happen to meet her only once"

"Eh!! Jiho" Sapa Sia who just arrived.

"Huaaaaa" Jiho was shocked, he almost jumped if Sia did not see him.

*this just happened to meet Jiho.hehehe hayoloh want apaloh*

Sia slowly approached Jiho and he asked.

"What are you doing in front of my house"

Jiho immediately stuttered.

"Eh.um.it.ah yeah.I want to say something about that day......"

"That day? Ah you mean the day you got drunk just because of a little glass of drink and you cried rich baby, didn't you?" Sia Lee laughed considering the incident.

"You don't need to remember it anymore, especially while laughing so.., cih" Shouted Jiho annoyed.

"Ahahha, yes yes, ohya if you are here just to apologize, do not need Jiho because I have done wrong to you before"

"No.., you're wrong, I'm just here to say thank you"

"What's? thanks for what?"

"Um.it.to.because.because it has sent me two pages"

"uhuh?!" Sia was stunned.

"What's? He's here from here standing here just saying that? what a strange guy" Inner Sia.

"I .I really want to read the next page, so ah don't forget to return the book when it's finished, yes, yes" Jiho rushed to leave Sia.

"Jiho wait" Sia stopped her.

"You don't have to thank me, because you deserve it, you gave me something precious to you too"

Jiho was silent for a moment while looking towards Sia.

"That's why I sent you two pages at a time, so you don't have to worry, see you" Sia Lee then went inside her house.

"Something precious?" Jiho was still outside Sia's house, and still stood in confusion.

"What a joke am I outrageous huh? but it's really not a joke, the chicken has given me a very valuable energy, ah I became addicted to drinking again with him" said Sia behind the door in her house.

Jiho ran to his house and

Brak.

"Huh, what is it? he said something precious....what exactly did he take from me? I got scared"
