JUST A CRASH - BUTTERFLY CROSSING
22. Mouse, tock, tick, tock
Grn, deg, deg.
It's not just the orange that's pounding.
Shuji is the same.
The girl's eyes were like an open book to Shuji. Staring so longingly. This girl really had no fear.
Shuji lowered his head, his hand in his clenched pocket—itching to hold something. But he's holding back. Being able to breathe with an orange is an improvement if he compares it to a few months ago.
The woman in front of him had not moved since getting off the bus, as if waiting for her to decide. As a result, the two stood quietly facing each other for a long time.
If in front of him the kidnapper will surely be deceived. Shuji suddenly felt responsible.
Slowly he picked up a large stock box that had forgotten its existence.
“Oh..,” Orange handed it over. “His box I haven't had time to wash..” he's busy eating. When the break was over, he could not clean it.
Shuji smiles. “Come home.”
“….Ok.”
Both roads are side by side with a long distance. Despite being covered in outside air, Orange could smell a gentle scent emanating from the man beside her.
“...You...., take a shower, yes?” Orange wants to say ‘you're teasing me?’ but that sentence sounds too embarrassing. Every time they meet, Shuji always looks charming. Orange believes 85 percent of these men were on purpose. Orange is not GR, no...
“?” Shuji who heard the question was silent for a second then burst out.
“A-a-what??”
“You're worried I'm not taking a shower?”
“Not...not that!”
To think that the question of Orange is as embarrassing as his mind, huh?
“Keep why ask me I've taken a shower or not.”.
“Because you.. look good in view.”
Shuji who heard it felt the veins in his mind cut off. Stopping himself from hugging with just willpower was an incredible talent. If they were other people they would be wild animals.
Orange is not glassy.
He said such ambiguous sentences with a red face and watery eyes.
“...If food.... I taste good like what?” ask Shuji.
The orange who had never been in a deep relationship before had never faced such an explicit question.
But the woman answered seriously.
“Maybe... new red apples picked up in the morning that still have dew.”.
Shuji could see the confusion in the eyes of the orange, but the man thought intensely about how the Orange ate the red apple. Sweet and refreshing.
Uh.
Shuji stops his thoughts and returns to virgin mode.
“Then will you eat apples tomorrow?” but the man could not stop himself from offering.
“Bby.” Orange smile back.
What a sweet woman. Shuji muttered in his heart.
“Thank you today what I cooked?”
“Eh? Em... I don't know.”.
“I give you a hint. Today's menu is juicy and the other menu is my favorite.”
“A-I know your favorite, right?” despite saying so, the orange brain immediately turned around quickly thinking about the menu of J state cuisine that Shuji liked.
“You used to cook it for me.”
“Oh?” The orange stopped thinking. He only ever cooked State I cuisine. “Jamur oseng?”
Shuji didn't expect Orange to be able to guess right away. “…. Dingding.”
Orange immediately jumped excited, but only two female jumps immediately stopped. "You can cook oseng mushrooms? That's great!" Orange said solemnly, while half of it was for the sake of distracting from her childish behavior just now.
Shuji restrained his smile and pretended not to care.
“Another menu is hot pot. But this is the first time I made.” Shuji frowned. “Maybe it doesn't taste good.”
Orange looked at Shuji carefully. Although the man said half-jokingly, he could detect nervousness in it. “Pasti delicious. Because you made.” Orange Word. Lovely cuisine is always good. Even if it is not tasty, the orange will still eat it. Of course he wouldn't say it blatantly.
After arriving at the apartment, Shuji lets Jingga in first.
In ordinary circumstances, the orange would ask: Why do I not bring the food? Or some kind of question.
But their feelings reciprocated, Orange of course also realized the desire to continue together. If we can meet again, why not?
“Then I first, yes?”
“Let me take her food.... another hour?”
“...Oke.” Perfect. Oranges can shower and clean first.
It starts to feel like the longer Jingga spends with Shuji.
An hour later the two met again like new. The orange wears more body mist than usual which smells burst once the door is open.
“Happy meal.” Shuji handed the tray in his hand. Even though his face was flat, his hands trembled slightly. Unlike the past, Shuji could see that gaze in the eyes of Orange.
The way the woman looked at him, completely ignited his dark side. Could it be that he was always staring at Orange like that?
Ah, it's impossible.
His is much more lit.
Finally the orange wanted himself.
The cage on his chest was like it had been broken by a single stack, making room for the beast within him to come out. But he still held back.
“Oh yes,” Shuji does not immediately release the tray in his hand even though it has been accepted. “Next week there is a festival in the city next door. I.... do you want to go there with me?”
“Huh? Festival?”
“Winter festival. You've never seen it, have you?”
Orange shakes.
“Then fix, yes?”
Shuji sees the door in front of him closed first before returning to his apartment.
If his mind is described as natural, the atmosphere is calm like the middle of the sea. Without waves but in them there is great turmoil.
Shuji felt he was overrating himself. Claims to be in control... Shuji, you're really too arrogant.
The closer he gets to Orange, the more he wants. When Jingga had the same feelings as him, Shuji felt he was ready to jump at any time in the flames.
He didn't know if he could still hold himself back. He thirsted to be in touch with the woman. Wanting to stroke her hair, wanting to hug her little body, wanting to smash it without pause until the woman sobbed in her arms…
“Yah..,” Shuji sighed resignedly. If he accidentally kebablasan— for example. Bringing an orange to the room, how else. He could only beg later. At that time, the orange might get angry.
But she had no choice but to forgive him. When she had the same feelings as him, not even God would be able to stop them.
Joking…
Shuji turned on his tv and went back to contemplating seeing the familiar wall image on the tv screen.
Angel: Just yesterday you said you wanted to take this camera off, right? When are you gonna do it?
Satan: Remember your struggle all along. How difficult? That woman will give you a million tolerances. It's time to move the camera to a deeper place.
Shuji was almost tempted by the whisper.
Angel: You think sweet is stupid? If he gets cleaned up and found out you're gonna die! Remember, that momentary pleasure is nothing compared to live videocall. There is no risk and you can face each other!
Shuji frowned and nodded after thinking about it logically.
Satan: What if that woman is hiding something you don't know? Only with this camera can you tell. Move to the bedroom or to the bathroom!
Angel: This demon is a good idea but he's too stupid. Don't listen to it.
Shuji tilted his head and heard the whisper of an angel once again in his head.
Angel: Is Sweet the one who likes to hide things? Nah! You know best what that woman looks like! Plain and stupid! Hiding what, he wouldn't be able to do it before confessing himself!
Shuji nodded in acceptance. Orange is like that. Plain as children.Otherwise, it was possible that the woman could be easily incited by him. Haha.
Satan: No one knows one hundred percent of a person's character, right?
Angel: Should we talk about this? Shuji likes to break into the woman's apartment haphazardly, he can check it himself without being caught!!
Shane: …
Demons: …
Angels: ...Erm
That last statement stopped the debate and Shuji finally found the answer.
At the same time, his phone rang.
“Halo, Shuji?”
“Em.”
“You.. have eaten?”
“Ah...” Shuji is too cool to argue and he is still standing in the living room. “I finished replying to work emails so it's a little late. You must be waiting for me, hm?”
“…..”
Shuji laughed looking at the orange expression on the screen and moved to take his dinner.
He put the cell phone in the middle of the dining table and they started eating together.
Shuji thought, tomorrow, he's going to Orange's apartment to take off his camera.
He did not want to find out the secret of the orange. Nope.
