Ghost Dusk

Chapter 58 - Shane's Joke

...༻◈༺...

Slowly Julie hugged Shane. He did so that the man could be calmer.

"Let's take a break to the nearest inn" Julie asked. He and Shane stopped a taxi. Their goal is to go to the nearest resort.

"I'll book two rooms" Julie said. When he arrived at the inn. He wants to leave Shane alone. Julie also felt she had to keep her distance from him. Julie doesn't want to fall in love with Shane.

"Sorry, Miss. But it just so happens that in this motel there is only one room left. Is it okay?" said the receptionist named Dustin.

Julie and Shane exchanged looks. Coinciding with that, a torrential rain suddenly fell.

"It's okay. I'm gonna sleep on the couch" Shane said. He's already exhausted. The facts he discovered also made the mind tired. As a result, Shane does not matter if he has to sleep one room with Julie.

"I'm sorry about that, sir. This is not a hotel, it is a motel. I'm sure you've read the sign on the page" Dustin said with an awkward smile.

"Yes, we know." Julie's no problem.

Dustin showed a confused expression. However, he did not want to extend the conversation. Dustin thinks Julie and Shane understand. Moreover, Julie and Shane showed a clear tired face. Dustin hurried over to take care of the administration and gave the room keys.

Shane led the way first. It was actually his first time staying at a motel. The same thing happened to Julie. Both can be said to be both home children. Even while dating June, Julie prefers to spend time at home.

Door opens. Shane and Julie pecked when they saw how the room in the motel was. There is no sofa there. There are only two small chairs and a bed with a small room size.

"I'll find somewhere else. You can sleep here, Julie." Shane relented. He doesn't want her to make Julie uncomfortable.

Julie held Shane's arm. Preventing the man's departure. He was afraid to sleep alone. "We're in a foreign place. It's better to stay together than to be apart" he said.

Shane nodded weakly. People who have been in love with Julie for a long time, certainly will not refuse.

Shane and Julie finally get into the room. Meanwhile, June observed from the ceiling. He could see everything clearly from there. The look on June's face looked disappointed. Especially when she sees Julie letting Shane sleep one room with her.

"rest. I'm gonna take a shower." Julie stepped into the bathroom.

Shane chose to sit down in a chair. The atmosphere felt so awkward. That's when June suddenly appears from the roof. He was like a falling object, then stood up straight on his own.

Shane jerks. He could certainly guess who the figure that appeared was. But he showed a sad expression.

"Look. You're making Julie feel awkward again" June said as she folded her arms to her chest.

Shane lowered his head. "I'm sorry, June... You must die for-"

"I don't care about that. I just want to make amends for my family's mistakes with you and Julie. I'd do anything if that was what made Julie better" Shane said. He looks serious. No kidding with his own words.

June gasps. He was silent in a moment. If she were in Shane's position, June would definitely need some time to think. Remembering the name that will be smeared is the family name itself. But Shane didn't mind.

"Is that how much you love Julie?" ask June.

"It's not about love, June. But justice and peace. It doesn't matter if I have to be in prison, as long as my mind can be more peaceful than before" Shane replied.

June grunts. He turned his back to Shane. Trying to hide his expression. June tried to throw away everything Shane said. Then turn the body back to face the man.

"OK, you can do that later when you get back. But for now, get rid of Julie's awkwardness towards you" June suggested.

"Hows it? You know I'm not good at that" Shane said.

"Do you have a sense of humor?" Deadly june.

"Yes." Yeah." Shane nodded.

"Give me one of your best jokes" challenge June.

Shane scratched his head. He thought for a moment. He immediately spoke when he found his best joke.

"OKAY. I have one." Shane stand. Ready to tell your best joke. "Life is short, isn't it?" tanyakanya.

"Yes..." June frowned with doubt.

"Then smile while you're alive" Shane continued. He chuckles to himself.

June, she froze. His eyes twitched in wonder at Shane's not funny jokes at all. Even June feels offended by Shane's jokes. Considering he's not alive anymore.

"Did you deliberately pick that joke to insinuate me?" timpal June's.
