[Headquarters Arc - 4]
...----------------...
Slowly, Araya opened her eyes. Graze slowly to adjust the lighting of the room. Suddenly, he just remembered that he was sleeping out of place.
"Eh? I slept here?" he mumbled slowly while looking around, still the same as last night. He's still in the library. Only, there was one thing more shocking.
"Son Lucas isn't here either? I'd better go first." her mind slowly flicked the jacket Lucas had worn on her.
After that, he returned it to Lucas who was sleeping next to him. Slowly, he stood up and set foot. However, Araya undoes her intentions after feeling that someone is blocking her right hand.
Araya is silent when her gaze leads to Lucas who has awoken from his sleep.
"You don't know thank you." he muttered as he moved from his seat. Then, stand up and release his grip on Araya's wrist.
"Thank you, brother" he said. He does not want to prolong the problem. So, he just gave up. After all, saying thank you is free, right?
"And I didn't ask for help" he said softly while staring at Lucas' back that was getting away from. The man walked outside, leaving Araya alone in the room.
"Shiroi, what exactly is going on?" Ask Araya on the system. If he didn't sleep, Shiroi would have known what the owner did.
"Not much has happened, only Brother Lucas put a jacket on you and then fell asleep next to you" Shiroi explained.
"But he didn't do anything weird, did he?"
"Not really."
Araya heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation from her system.
"Thank God then."
After that, Araya set his sights on the digital clock located not far from there. The number is 05.13 AM, it is still morning. Immediately, Araya walked outside to return to her room to minimize negative allegations.
Just walking a few steps out of the library, he was met with a.
"Park Ha-na" called him while emphasizing as well as spelling out his last name. Araya immediately turned her head towards the source of the sound. From the hallway to his left, there was a man about sixteen years old standing in the middle of the hallway while staring at him flatly.
"Eh Dae - I mean Ryusei. What's up?" asked Araya after seeing her friend who was from the same headquarters. Araya asked as if nothing had happened.
Dae-Vin walks towards him, while putting his palm into the pocket of his black jacket.
"What did you guys do last night?" Ask with a tone and a flat gaze, just like the first moments.
"You mean?" Araya asked back, his gaze did not dare to look at the person in front of him. His hair bristled after sensing a negative aura emanating from the person in front of him.
"Don't pretend you don't know. I was monitoring you all night, you were in the library with someone until just now." Dae-Vin replied in a tone of disbelief. Araya was so confused to explain from which part.
"Monitoring? Why are you monitoring us? Are you really a stalker?" shiroi asked with intonation and a tone of disbelief. Araya immediately hissed softly and pressed her index finger against her lips, hoping that Shiroi would not continue what she wanted to say.
"Yes, I'm a stalker. Are you satisfied? I could've monitored you guys anywhere." Dae-Vin replied still with the same tone and expression.
"Ehm, I-I can explain it." Araya tried to mediate so that the debate does not extend. In the end, he explained from start to finish.
It took him about fifteen minutes to understand. But still, Dae-Vin is still Dae-Vin. In fact, he immediately believed just like that in what Araya explained.
"So so?"
"You don't have to keep an eye on me. If found out it can be dangerous business later." lowered his head, Araya said softly.
Until, without him noticing, Dae-Vin rubbed the top of his head slowly. "It's important that you're okay now. Keep looking after yourself." he said with a thin smile ending. After that, he walked next to Araya.
Araya is still speechless, at first glance he turns around and looks at Dae-Vin who is walking away from him.
"If left unchecked, he will be overprotective for a long time" said Shiroi ripped Araya from his short daydream.
"You mean?"
"Well, when you don't know? We haven't stayed here twenty-four hours, but he's like that. What do you think of the next days?"
Araya smiled at Shiroi's question. Although he was just a system, but he cared about the matter of his owner's feelings. "Eitherway. Let's just see."
...----------------...
"Friends, we just got a schedule!" henry said excitedly as he entered the primary members' special room. There was a white piece of paper in his hand. The four comrades only looked at him with ordinary gazes.
"Here, we get a test schedule before we actually become primary members" he continued saying as he placed the paper in the middle of the table so that all members could see it.
"First test at nine this morning?" araya read the writing on the paper. There is a test schedule that they will face before being officially a primary member. If they still want to be a primary member, then they should get the best value. Otherwise, their place will be replaced by members of their lower squads who have better grades.
"Yes, but today's test is different. If it was a few months ago his test of intelligence, then now his test of this organization." Henry explained that a small nod was answered by Araya.
"Hey, why are the three of you always quiet?" clapping his hands a few times, Henry looked at his three male comrades.
If Adli, certainly he listened and paid attention, but he did not speak numbers at all. Unlike Lucas and Steve who look indifferent. For some reason, they don't look excited.
"I'm listening." replied Adli as he slightly raised his gaze.
"Well, I know. You two, do you hear what I'm saying?" Henry nodded at Adli's reply. Then, he turned his gaze to Lucas and Steve who were sitting not far apart.
"Yes" replied Steve briefly. So in short, he did not seem to move his lips. Lucas just nodded slowly.
Henry sighed softly. He should exercise more patience in dealing with both of them. But, this is just the beginning. I don't know what will happen in the future.
At that time, Araya tried to read more about their test schedule. After reading part number four, his feelings were suddenly strange. Number four, the test that will be conducted tomorrow. The test is done in water, which is swimming. Yeah, he can't swim.
"Why, Park Hana?"
The question from Henry just managed to make Araya flinch. "Why what?" Araya asked back while trying to forget what she was thinking earlier.
"Why are you so serious about seeing it? Is something wrong?"
"Ngg, no really. Nothing's wrong." Araya shook her head slowly, trying to stay calm to face the test tomorrow.
"But, it looks like you're worried about the test. If you want, you can tell me." said Henry, sitting himself down after he had stood up. He wore a serious expression that was mixed casually.
"There's nothing, brother." Araya tried to deny. He was embarrassed to say he didn't dare take the fourth test.
