"Lo's crazy, huh, Rin?" todong Taruna as soon as she returned to Sierra's nursery. His hands clenched tightly, the muscles around his neck tightened and his back head began to feel heavy.


Earlier, for minutes, he was forced to hold himself in his place. Trying hard not to run towards Irina and Gavin then pulled the male body away after anchoring one fist to the handsome face.


Irina who was about to sit down on the sofa practically stopped her movements and turned her head towards the Midshipman, looking at the man who stood looming before her with his eyebrows raised up.


"meaning?" tanyakanya.


"Why are you meeting Gavin here? You intentionally, let someone see you? Huh?!" The cadets were a bit stiff when they asked that. Because he really feels upset right now.


Taruna thought telling Irina about Gavin and Kalea's real relationship would make her aware and began to consider letting go of Gavin slowly. But it turns out the estimate was wrong. Instead of trying to let go, Irina was clearly seen wanting to hold Gavin tighter.


And that sucks.


For a while, Irina ignored the Taruna's question. He resumed his delayed activities, moved casually towards the sofa and landed his butt there. Then, he grabbed the phone lying on the table and played it. As if forgetting that Taruna was still standing there, waiting for an answer from him.


The cadet was upset, so she caught up and immediately sat herself down next to Irina. His big hand moved quickly snatched the phone from Irina's hand and instantly hid the object behind her body.


"Reverse." Pinta Irina held out her hand.


But Taruna instead threw him a sharp glare that made him snort and give in to his attempt to get his phone back.


"Gavin won't leave Kalea, you obviously know that." Said Taruna with great emphasis. It seemed, she was starting to want to tattoo that sentence in Irina's brain so that the woman could remember it every second.


"Well, we never know." Irina said lightly. Then he threw his back onto the sofa, folding his hands in front of his chest while carving out a strange-looking smile in the eyes of the Cadets.


"Gavin is mine. He told me himself he had me."


"Lo will only hurt yourself, Rin."


"I don't care, Taruna." Sela Irina's. "I don't fcking care." Irina started to hush. Over time, she begins to feel that Taruna is meddling too much in her relationship with Gavin. It's like the man has another motive behind the phrase 'gue doesn't want you to get hurt, because you are my friend' who often the man told him.


The cadet sighed violently, resting her hair with emotions that began to rise into the crown. If there is an award nomination for the most stubborn and self-harming human, maybe Irina will immediately become the winner without the need to bother voting.


Because, for life, the new Taruna this time found someone who was so desperate to maintain something that even though it contributed more pain. Irina is currently shaken and almost dead, but the woman refuses to be saved and instead says that she would rather die where she is.


"So I asked Gavin to end our relationship. And you know what he answered? He won't break up with me." Irina straightened her back. His terrible smile vanished, the lips were now drawn straight and the look in his eyes began to change.


"You know what that means? Yeah, that means Gavin's still in love with me." Said Irina steady.


"Keep up to when do you rely on Gavin's feelings of love how much you don't know?" Taruna said that after exhaling out loud.


"As you know, the human heart is fickle, Rin. Then, what would you do if the feelings of Gavin you mentioned were suddenly gone, and at that time, you still fell too deep for him?"


Irina pulled up the chair, sat herself there and leaned her head against the edge of the Sierra bed and began to close her eyes.


While Taruna can only be silent, with all his strength to refrain from spewing so many swear words that begin to rub in the throat.


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


Karel has said nothing since Gavin's return to the Kalea ward. Although Gavin was surprised to find himself coming from behind the bathroom door, Karel still refrained from asking what the man had done outside.


"Aren't you going to sleep?"


Karel turned his head, finding Gavin seriously looking at his phone screen. Now they sit next to each other on the sofa, silent and do not interact at all for a long time.


"Lo himself, don't want to sleep?" Karel asked back.


Asked so, Gavin immediately withdrew from his activities. The phone that was still in hand was instantly forgotten and he was now fully staring at Karel.


"I slept, you know that too."


"Over hour. An adult human needs at least seven hours of sleep a day to keep his quality of life awake." Suddenly, Karel became wise. But he himself realized that what he said just now had never been applied to his life at all.


"I have a lot of work to do. Sometimes it won't make me die, huh." Said Gavin lightly. Then, he returned to his cell phone.


But there were not ten seconds he stared at the smart thing, Gavin turned back to Karel. "Anyway, thank you for bothering to remind me not to stay up late." He said he ended a thin smile, which Karel thought looked annoying.


Then Gavin refocused on his phone screen and completely forgot the existence of Karel next to him.


Late at night, the sleepiness that came could no longer stand Karel despite his intention to watch over Gavin until the morning before was still so great in the heart.


Since Karel was just an ordinary human being who still needed to sleep, he ended up giving up as well. With a shunt step, he walked up to the bed of the Kalea patient and immediately lay down on the floor mattress that he had prepared since.


It didn't take long, Karel soon fell asleep.


Meanwhile, Gavin begins to get restless again. He was worried that Karel might have caught him chatting with Irina earlier. That was why he insisted on not going to bed so that he could check whether Karel was trying to keep an eye on her or not.


Seeing Karel who finally fell asleep (looking from his regular breathing) then Gavin could breathe a little relieved. Then, he followed her down on the sofa and began to close his eyes.


In his heart, he continued to pray: hopefully, hopefully, Karel will not catch himself so that things do not get more complicated.
