[Return Arc - #3]
...----------------...
"Wait, what?! You serious?" at first Araya was surprised to hear Hanny's words. But what he heard was not wrong. Hanny nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes, if you're alone it could be dangerous. What if you slip in the bathroom? The business can be longer." said Hanny gave a reason that is quite reasonable. Araya remained silent.
During her silence, Hanny uses her teleportation so that the two of them can move. Araya gasped a little after realizing that she was already in the bathroom.
"Eh, how come it's here?" tanyanya's confused.
"Of course, hahaha." Hanny replied with a soft laugh. "I'm always serious in my words." he continued.
"So, we're starting?" standing on her back to Araya, Hanny said. Quickly, Araya tries to find an excuse so Hanny won't do it.
"Wait, does this not violate the rules of the organization?" Araya asked after successfully finding an excuse. But Hanny insisted.
"No really. There are no rules that prohibit this. We're both girls anyway." casually, Hanny replied. Araya sighed slowly while assuring.
"Then take off your clothes, Araya. I've started taking my clothes off."
Araya was silent at Hanny's words. He's really serious. Araya felt exposed to the stone herself. He wanted to repeat the time so that he would not speak the words that provoked this to happen.
"Well, I forgot that you can't use both hands. So, let me take it off" said Hanny who made Araya close her eyes immediately.
"Araya, if this is the case, you're like a mummy. Your body is full of bandages." said Hanny softly after seeing many bandages on Araya's body. He was injured quite badly that day, especially after being violently banged several times, leaving many of his bones broken.
"Yes, but I'm fine." Araya's reply still closed her eyes. He did not dare to open his eyes at that moment.
"Ehem. You sound good too, Araya." cleared his throat briefly, Hanny slightly turned her face away.
"Not really, I'm-Hee! You see what Hanny?! Don't look!" Araya who had just realized the meaning of Hanny's words was of course very embarrassed. He crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"It's my hand.." Because of the sudden movement, it certainly made his hand hurt.
"Don't worry Araya, it's just the two of us. No Dae-Vin and Zaaryan or anything else. I won't tell anyone."
"All right."
In the end, Araya just resigned. He was sitting in a bathtub filled with warm water. Slowly but surely, he began to enjoy it. If a few years ago he had only ever done that with his brother, but now he is back doing the ritual of cleaning himself with his partner.
"Araya, you want shampooing?" hanny asked as she held onto a bottle of shampoo.
"Can."
"Well, excuse me." Even though it's sometimes like that, Hanny still has attitude. He excuses me first before rubbing shampoo in Araya's hair. Araya just assented.
"Your hair is very soft Araya." carefully Hanny did it so as not to be exposed to the wound on the forehead to the temple Araya.
"Hmm maybe genetic factors. My brother is the same."
"Ah yes! I forgot to bring a towel!" hanny said suddenly after the two of them fell silent for a moment. Panicked, Hanny stood up and looked around her.
"Araya, how many towels are there here?" hanny asks Araya who hasn't changed her position.
"There's two. It's still hanging there." Araya replied as she raised her chin to the corner of the room. The bathroom is very spacious. So it is necessary to step foot several times to be able to take the desired object.
"Okay, I borrowed one ya."
...----------------...
"really? Sorry to bother you guys that time." Araya typed the sentence, then pressed the send button.
"It's okay. I don't mind at all. I'm really worried when you're unconscious." reply that person who is none other than Kim Dae-Vin. Although they could not meet in person, they took another alternative to chat only through their personal mobile phone.
"Sorry to worry you too. But now I'm fine." Araya returned to reply. From then on, his smile continued to expand, even though his gaze was still not diverted from the phone screen.
"Araya, I want to say something." chat from Dae-Vin that made Araya change her expression. Curious expression of course.
"What did you say?" tanya Araya is still focusing on her phone. His eyes widen after seeing a caption under Dae-Vin's name that shows that Dae-Vin is recording his voice. He'll send you a voice message.
Not long after, the thing that made Araya curious was finally sent and reached him.
"Araya, I actually like you. Not as a friend, but more than a friend." that's what the voicemail said. Araya was a little confused. He tried to digest what he read.
"meaning?" ask Araya. He is still not sensitive. After his chat is read, Dae-Vin re-types.
"This is me being honest. I'm really serious about it. But, if you don't accept it, it's okay. We can still be friends." quickly, Dae-Vin immediately sends Araya a chat. Read directly.
"Geez, am I being shot? Haaa this is the first time. So how's this? Accept it or not?" muttered Araya after reading the chat from Dae-Vin she just read.
Araya needs time to think. Up to five minutes passed and Dae-Vin's status was still online.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Araya sent a chat.
"Yes it's okay. So how?"
After being asked how, Araya refused to touch the tip of her thumb on the keyboard of her phone. He bit his lower lip, his brain could not be used for now.
"I.. I don't know. Before, I had never been like this. So, sorry yeah." Araya sent a voice message. For some reason, he felt an awkward feeling after sending out his message.
"Yes it's okay. I understand it. It's my first time, so it's probably less effective." In less than twenty seconds, Dae-Vin has sent a reply.
At that time, Araya also got chat from others. On the screen of his cell phone, there is the name of a woman who is a medical member in this organization.
"Miss Araya, it's time to check your condition again. Do we need to go there?" that's how the chat is. Araya immediately replies and automatically forgets for a moment her chat with Dae-Vin.
"no need. Let me just go there."
After that, Araya returned to the homepage of the chat application that she had installed two years ago. He again presses his chat with Dae-Vin earlier. Dae-Vin is still online.
"Sorry Dae-Vin, maybe get here first huh. I need to get my condition checked into the infirmary." Araya wants to end her chat. Dae-Vin immediately replies by assuring and then goes offline.
...----------------...
"Slowly.. Slow down." muttered Araya as she was on her way to the infirmary. Araya had enough difficulty walking, moreover, both of her hands were also injured which made her unable to use for holding. But Araya is not a person who gives up easily. After much effort, he finally reached the elevator door.
He immediately pressed one of the buttons to open the door. It didn't take long, the door was open. At that time, after he got into the elevator, Araya realized that Dae-Vin was also there.
"Eh, Dae-Vin? What-" has not yet had Araya finish her words, Dae-Vin has already replied even though he does not know what things Araya will ask him.
"Araya, please let me drive you" he said with a faint smile.
To be continued..
