Comforter Men

"Yahish!!!!!!!!" Noel moved out of the room. Anger and fear mixed up in his feelings. He ran out looking for Yera. That woman must not have been so far away. With a feeling of nervous despair Noel circled every corner of the lower floor where he lived.

"Yeliza ..."

"Yeliza ..."

"Don't hide ..."

"Don't hide or try to get out of here!"

"Don't you know it's dangerous out there!

"Get out!

"I ... I won't get angry or hurt you! Come out!!"

There is no answer ...

Noel ran to the street. He ran to what extent if Yera could escape, but he got nothing. A desperate Noel fingered his pocket to look for his phone, but did not find it. Finally he ran back to his house. He had to contact Baekhyun to find out where the woman was going. He also needs help finding Yera. But, how could they possibly help him?

With a gasp of breath Noel opened the door of his room. Just as he entered, he found Yera coming out of the bathroom. The woman was surprised to find Noel who looked messy. Yera immediately threw away her face when she realized she had looked at the man and walked towards the bed and lay behind the man. Yera was really awkward and confused in her attitude, so did Noel who was ashamed of himself with his ridiculousness earlier.

"I ... I, after exercising earlier," Noel reasoned.

"I'm gonna take a shower." Noel stepped into the bathroom in the room.

“Can you shift to that couch first. I have to change the seprey.”

Without speaking Yera moved from there.

“Please install this on that mattress?” noel said while handing over the new sprey.

Yera accepted it without saying a word.

“I'll get this into the washing machine." Noel said again as he moved from there.

Yera got up and carried out her duty. As he stared at the bed, Again the image of rape appeared in his head. Yera grimaced while trying to brush off the shadow. The trauma is not as easy as it is gone. He remembered Chen's words. Everything has happened and Yera has to start her new life and forget what happened. Until when does he continue to fight with his own battery that still questions what has happened?

Sprey who seemed to be pulled from the front blew Yera's mind. Noel suddenly came in and helped him put the sprey on.

“I've prepared porridge for your lunch. So you just eat it.”

“Port again?” Yera could only make a sound in her heart.

Actually since yesterday the condition has been possible to eat rice. The porridge only filled him for a moment, and before long he felt hungry again. Why does the man still think that he is sick when clearly Chen has said that he is fine.

*

Yera again inhaled fresh air even though only on the balcony of the house after 2 days only confined in the room. His feelings have improved a little. Slowly he stepped towards the safety fence where he would jump to commit suicide.

Noel just looked at him while drying the sprey he had just washed. The man didn't suspect anything at all that Yera would jump from there again.

Just right ...

Yera just stood there staring down. Yera's heart immediately rippled realizing how high she was standing right now. Naturally, it was the 3rd floor.

“At all height isn't it?” Noel suddenly stood beside Yera while looking down.

“If I had failed to catch your hand yesterday, you might be lying with your head crushed, your brain scattered, and your hands and feet separated from your body. Do you think you'll die without feeling any pain?

Of course not.

Your body will flutter in pain for an hour or more. As long as your life lasts, it means you can still feel pain. Unfortunately, the process of separating the spirit from the body is not short.

Yeah.just like I said. About an hour or so.” Noel bragged as he pleased and Yera was eaten by the booze.

Yera shuddered in horror at the thought of it all. Fortunately, he was rescued at the time.

"This building only works on the top. I deliberately didn't fix it so it wouldn't look like the building was inhabited. From the outside it looks like an unfinished building. But you saw for yourself ... This top floor is very livable, right?

I did it on purpose to avoid the people who were looking for me. Just you, Chen and ..." Noel seemed reluctant to mention Baekhyun's name.

" ... Baekhyun's." Noel finally mentioned the name. He thought Yera should get used to her current state.

Noel glanced at Yera to find out the woman's feelings. Clearly from the look in his eyes, the name he had mentioned rightly affected his feelings.

"Let's go in." Noel clasped Yera's hand and pulled her inside.

*

"Why? You don't like the porridge?” Noel asked after noticing Yera who had not touched his food at all.

“Wait here, I'll make another.”

“I want to eat rice,” said Yera made Noel undo his intention to stand up.

“You've just recovered from illness. Do not force your stomach to digest solid foods.”

“I'll ask Chen first." Noel took his phone.

Yera could only fall silent with Noel's attitude. The woman looked down on her own forehead. Not because of a headache, it's just that Noel's attitude he thought was too excessive.

“What else?” Chen's voice sounded sad.

“Ah ... Can Yera eat rice?”

“You called me just to ask that?” Chen's cry rang out to Yera's ears.

“I told you she's okay. He is very healthy! You don't even have to give him any more medicine.”

“Alright .. thank you.” Noel turned off his phone.

"Wait here, I'll get you the food.” he said as he stood up.

Pensive yera.

All this good treatment was foreign to him. If he had done everything alone. Yes. even though he had Baekhyun back then. But Yera never once troubled the man. Although he was sick to the point of only crawling once, Yera would fight on her own until she could recover.

"Eat .." said Noel, putting his food in front of Yera. He also poured water for the woman.

Noel got a call. Mory's name is plastered on the mobile screen was seen by Yera's eyes.

Yera's feeling rippled, what's the matter now?

"What?" Noel answered the call.

"I heard you brought Yera with you! Why are you doing it?!"

Mory's voice again sounded in Yera's ears.

Noel dropped the phone from his ear.

"Eat first, there is something that I must finish" Noel said as he departed from before Yera.

"Why are you angry? Isn't that how you can have a whole Baekhyun?"

"Yes!! I have it all now. But what are you doing isn't the same as betraying our friendship?! He just made something bad happen to me. And you just put it up?!"

"I'm not really sure. The evidence is that the police didn't find any evidence that you're accusing of. But ... Even if it's true I don't care either. Our relationship doesn't get to where you can manage anything I do including taking in people you hate. We have different living spaces where no one can enter."

Mori was silent ..it was very desirable that he screamed and cursed at the man, but everything was held in his heart. Just futile. There was no bond or anything he could use to threaten or suppress Noel.

"I close first. I'm having lunch now."

*

"You don't have to worry. They can't interfere in my life with their problems. To me they're just friends and customers." The last word came out of Noel's mouth. The expression on his face that had stiffened was caught off guard by Yera. Noel was wrong.

"Ah .. please keep that a secret," Noel's request was misbehaved.

"Did Baekhyun know?" Yera asked while looking intently, Noel.

Noel shook his head, "Whatever I do with them, it's secret."

"Am I really his best friend? How could you keep this from him?" Yera could not hold back her tears.

"It happened before I knew Baekhyun liked it. A promise is a promise I must keep."

Yera remained silent. The woman turned her body facing the other direction to avoid Noel's gaze.

"Do you think; if I had been honest about my affair with Mory, then Baekhyun would have avoided that woman and stuck with you, then everything that happened to you yesterday would not have happened?"

"Yes!! None of this should have happened if you were honest from the beginning ...

I'm done. Thanks for the food." Yera took the plate and took it to the kitchen and washed it. The crying did not stop either. Yera cried for her own fate. Should he say that to Baekhyun? But how do you say it?

Yera's love is amazing. Although Baekhyun had obviously betrayed him, he still kindly wanted to save Baekhyun from disappointment and hoped that the man would come to his senses and return to him.

Yera suddenly got an idea ... He rushed over to Noel who had just woken up from his place. The man looked at her in wonder.

"I'll give myself to you. You can treat me as you like but on one condition. I want you to break your promise to Mory by telling Baekhyun the truth. Just so you say it, I'll do whatever you want."

"Baekhyun I took you back from me, that's what you expected isn't it? Then how do you qualify for that?"

Yera bowed. It was unthinkable to him. The thought he got then he uttered without thinking about it deeply. Justright. When Baekhyun finds out, he is angry with Mory and Noel. Baekhyun could have saved her from Noel's hands. Akh .. Now everything feels impossible. Even if he ran away from there to see Baekhyun and tell the truth, of course Baekhyun would not believe it.

"I'll do it for you. I will also take you to see it for myself. If the result is Baekhyun will hate Mory as you wish, also hate me then he asks you back from me. I'll give it to you."

Yera could hardly believe Noel's statement. Yera was flabbergasted to the point of not being able to say anything.

"Tonight ....

Tonight I'll meet him and tell him everything. I'll also take you to listen to it myself."
