I'm Just a Substitute Doll

Morning With Hope

Huufftt~

Yelena leaned her body on the bed. Like there was no boredom, he stared at the ceiling of the room that was always the same. Yes, the ceiling of that room never changed. Not like his host.

Two days in a row bad things keep happening. The painful sight kept repeating. And the characters remain the same. Allesa and Sean.

Yelena got up, as usual she opened the balcony door and stood staring at the stars out there. Only that could bring his heart back to calm.

But before long he stood there, a very bright light entered the dark-looking courtyard of the house.

By reflex Yelena lowered her body to crouch down. I don't know what kind of reaction it is, but certainly Yelena does not want to be seen by Sean.

He went back to his room and locked the door. He's not gonna let Sean in tonight. For now he did not want to see the man's face.

tok~

"Yelena?"

"Open the door, I want to talk." he said behind the door in a low tone.

But Yelena remained strong. Not for tonight. He has really made his decision, and his decision has been unanimous.

...****************...

Yeah, just for last night. This morning Yelena came back as usual. Wake up early and cook for Sean.

This morning he woke up with hope. I hope today is not like yesterday. I hope I don't see or hear anything painful today. I hope today will be okay.

The sound of footsteps came down the stairs. Yelena had prepared everything at the dining table. With her best smile she approached Sean and hugged him.

"Good morning! breakfast is ready~"

Sean's body froze, not usually that kind of thing Yelena did. Sean sighed in resignation, then raised one hand to stroke Yelena's hair, then dyed her hair.

"Hmm~ good morning.." said after a while.

Yelena takes off her arms, then pulls Sean over to the dinner table for breakfast.

The menu that day was fried rice. Like that time. Yelena's first dish that Sean ate was fried rice.

'Waiting for the right time, then I will destroy everything, ' Sean's inner self.

Klang~

Sean put his spoon a little harder. No, actually he did not intend to make that loud noise.

Yelena looked at him in shock, the smile on her face slowly starting to fade. But he immediately re-emitted that smile. He didn't want to ruin the morning.

Sean got up from his seat after sipping a glass of water. Yelena approached him and confronted him in front of her.

He smiled thinly then grabbed Sean's collar. He confirmed Sean's shirt collar was folded incorrectly.

"Are you home late tonight?" ask Yelena in between her activities.

"Hmm~ I'd like to take Allesa to make up for the prescription of the medicine that wasn't taken yesterday.."

Yelena stopped the movement of her hand, then looked at Sean's eyeballs deeply. Sean turned his face away, then rewinded his steps.

"I'm leaving." he said leaving Yelena still silent.

"Do you have to drive him?" yelena asked, stopping Sean's steps.

Sean rubbed his hair in a huff, then turned around and looked at Yelena.

"He has no one here." Sean said.

"But.."

"I'll keep dropping him off. I hope you understand!"

Fail.

Crushed.

The morning he woke up with the belief it would be fine was ruined. He tried to be careful, but failed. No, not a failure. But it can't.
