[Note: If it is italicized, it means the dialogue is the original Araya yes.]

...----------------...

Today, the real Araya has arrived in the future. Exactly in the next ten years. By then, he was twenty-three years old. When he arrived at that time, his body became translucent aka transparent. His voice became inaudible.

It's night here. Araya appears in a room that is not too broad and also not too narrow. There are a few sofa chairs. In that room, too, was someone sitting while playing his phone. He is the adult version of Araya.

"Hah.he's already two hours late" said the grown-up Araya after seeing the clock through her android phone.

"Who does he mean?" ask the real Araya. Even though he asked, still the other himself would not be able to answer.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The sound of the door being knocked. Then the door opened.

"I'm home." said a man who had just entered. About twenty-six years old. In his left hand, he held a bag made of cardboard.

"You're finally home. Welcome." said Araya, turning off her phone, then putting it on the table.

"I'm sorry I'm late for your birthday. Here, I brought you a gift. You'll love it." said the man, taking a box out of the bag, and then putting it on the table in front of Araya. Araya opened the box.

"Waaah. Black forest cake, my favorite. Thank you." said Araya with sparkling eyes, then started picking up a piece of the cake.

"Either. I know you like him. So, I stopped by for a second to buy you this."

"How do you know this is my favorite?" araya asked as she began to devour the cake.

"Of course I know. How could I not know my wife's taste." she said, embracing Araya's shoulder.

"What?! Wife? So that man is my future husband? How handsome.. But, wait. Why does it seem like he is no stranger? Where have I seen him? Don't-don't he's Kim Dae-Vin." Araya's inner. He even became a little confused after listening to the conversation of the two adults who were in front of him.

"You want to?" asked Araya while showing her a piece of cake that was still intact and had not been bitten by her.

"Boat.." she asked in a somewhat spoiled tone.

"Eat it yourself."

"I haven't washed my hands yet."

"Then wash your hands."

"Lazy, take a shower later."

"Reason. Book your mouth." In the end, Araya will feed the man. He also accepted it.

"You eat, I want to take a shower" said the man before going to the back room.

"Okey." reply Araya while continuing to eat.

...----------------...

Fifteen minutes later, after the man had finished cleaning himself. He went back to Araya. First of all, he closed both of Araya's eyes with his palm still cold.

"It's clear Kim Dae-Vin" Araya said without having to look at the person who closed both eyes.

"What?! Dae-vin Kim? Not likely. How could he be like that. Very different from the sixteen." The real Araya was really surprised to learn that the man she was living with was named Kim Dae-Vin. Adult Dae-Vin is very different from teenage Dae-Vin. The real ones, Araya and Dae-Vin are not very familiar right?

"How do you know?" ask Dae-Vin, then he sits next to Araya again.

"Of course, in this house there is only you and me" said Araya as she devoured the cake she still held.

"Yes you're right. One day there will be Kim Ar-Vin."

"Sir-vin? Who's she?" tanya Araya did not understand her meaning.

"He was a handsome man but cute, kind, intelligent. And also an Indonesian Korean. You want to meet her?" dae-vin asked, but Araya shook her head slowly. Araya knew what that meant.

"Why don't you want to, hmm? So that this house is not deserted." said Dae-Vin while taking a piece of cake, "ask ya," he continued. Araya nodded her mark she allowed.

"Why don't you want to?" Dae-Vin repeats the same question.

After that, the atmosphere became awkward and silent. They don't speak a single word. Till..

"Araya, you've changed huh." said Dae-Vin in a flat tone. But, on her face, she wore an expression that signified sadness.

"What do you mean?" asked Araya while wiping her palms using a tissue.

"You, not like you used to be. You used to be always cheerful, often smiling, not irritable to talk. I prefer the old you. Why are you changing now? And now you've been my only and forever friend. Why?" dae-vin asked with an expression that was deliberately made a bit sad.

Araya lowered her head, carefully, she replied.

"I'm just embarrassed and scared, before we were just teammates. Now it's so much more than that. After all, when I was a kid I hardly ever even met my dad, so I'm still a little scared of men." Araya explained in a soft tone. He does not want his words to hurt his interlocutor.

"Where is my father? And, who exactly is my father? I don't remember his face. I just remember the name." The real Araya inner. All this time, she lived with her mother and sister.

"So so? You don't have to be ashamed and afraid of me. Don't be afraid, don't be shy, don't be awkward. The key is just one, enjoy it. You can, right?" dae-vin asks after Araya dares to look at him.

"Can't.." replied Araya quietly.

"Can,"

"Can't,"

"Can,"

"No bi-" Araya did not finish the words, for there was a reason.

"Geez! What am I looking at?! Don't look. Don't look!" Araya immediately turned around so as not to see the adult scene that he would do when he was an adult.

"It's really unexpected. And why am I a baper? I'm used to seeing scenes like that in dramas. The scene here is completely real and without any edits in the slightest." Araya inner. Previously, she had often seen such scenes in dramas that often she and her brother watched together on television. After that, his mother immediately pulled out the television plug when there was such a scene in the drama that he and his brother were watching.

A minute later, Araya almost escaped. Dae-Vin accidentally releases him. But, Araya uses the opportunity to escape, so that, Dae-Vin immediately pulls his hand when Araya is about to move from her seat.

"Don't go" said Dae-Vin.

"Huh. okay." Araya sighed, then sat back down. But for the next few seconds, no one had opened the sound yet.

"Dae-Vin, what's wrong with you?" Araya tries to start the conversation.

"you mean? And please if you're home don't call me Dae-Vin."

"What do you want to call?" Araya asked again. Well, he doesn't know. He was used to calling her by name.

"Call dear." replied Dae-Vin with certainty while putting on a satisfied look.

"Okey, but only at home, right?"

"Anywhere, you should call me that. Oh yes, I have a challenge for you." saying, Dae-Vin put on a grin.

"What's the challenge?" The mature Araya is still so innocent. He doesn't know what Dae-Vin means.

"Tomorrow you will go to campus, well I will take you to the front of your room. Then you should call me 'honey' in front of your friends." Dae-Vin replies still with a satisfied smile plastered on his face. Instantly Araya widened her eyes. His face blushed, then he pinched Dae-Vin's arm briefly.

"Oh, sick! Ampuun, baby!" Mature Dae-Vin is good at acting. Of course he was just pretending to be in pain. Cubitan Araya is not much.

"No need anyway. Don't give me a weird, abnormal challenge" Araya said, putting on a grouchy face and turning her eyes away from Dae-Vin.

"But that's normal, we can even do more extreme things. Or maybe, you want something more extreme?"

"Of course not! Many of my friends are still single, they will be envious, how come?"

"Let them search for themselves. I'm yours, irreplaceable and irreplaceable."

To be continued..
