"I don't agree" Adam looked at Elena seriously.
"Uhm... Yeah it's okay. I'll try to learn by myself and..."
"No! That's not what I meant,"
"Then?" elena asked curiously. The girl widened her not-so-big eyes and the bangs that fell on her forehead as well as the slightly disheveled hair made her look cute.
'Goddessa.... What was I thinking?' inner Adam.
"Look," Adam cleared his throat and fixed his very uncomfortable sitting position at this moment. In the middle of the night, with a woman who looks cute. Also his clothes were wearing cute pajamas with stars and moon but the part was far down almost touching his chest and...
"Dam?" his tan is impatient and makes Adam force his fantasy into the real world.
"Look, the campus of your choice but the place of the course I've decided. It's not so far from here so you don't have much trouble" Adam said. Elena breathed a sigh of relief, she was grateful that Adam agreed to finance his actual course outside the agreement they made.
"Oooh so, no problem," said Elena smiling happily.
"Clean this! I was sleepy" said Adam. Elena nodded and quickly cleaned up Adam's leftovers. He decided to wash everything so that tomorrow there would not be too many dirty dishes.
After washing the dishes Elena looked for the ointment medicine that was usually stored in her bag. But he didn't find it. This afternoon he cooked and made snacks to make him touch laundry soap many times. And tonight his hands are getting sore and flushed. The allergies are back.
Not finding the ointment, Elena poured some warm water and soaked her fingers and palms. Quite painful but long rather comfortable. Elena looked for the small towel she had placed on the table but it was not seen. As Elena turned around, there was Adam standing behind her making her shocked.
"Searching this? It fell off" Adam handed a small white towel to Elena's palm.
"God... This why?" adam asked who helped dry Elena's palms.
"It's okay, it's going to heal" said Elena who grimaced as the surface of the handkerchief hit the injured part. Elena's hissing makes Adam's brain float back. Adam pressed onto Elena's palm making the girl slightly strangled. Adam took off his hand and turned to sleep. Elena was confused by Adam's attitude back to her room while blowing her finger which now looks small holes.
Elena was annoyed to forget her gloves when washing dishes. Now he must sleep with hands that feel burning, sore and reddish. At times like this he remembered Hans. The man bought her the ointment and also reminded her to wear gloves. Elena was crying and missing Hans.

"Have you been crying all night?" adam asked as Elena walked into the kitchen to make breakfast.
"No!" answer Elena.
"Your eyes...."
"Ooh... Just because I woke up..."
"No! I mean your eyes are too much shit," Adam laughed at Elena. The girl snorted in annoyance and immediately walked into the bathroom. Cover up his shame.
Elena turned around and grabbed the ketchup bottle. He grabbed the cauldron and put it on the stove, lit it, poured some oil. Then he sauteed the fine seasoning, put the ingredients one by one to create a scent that makes Adam's stomach struggling.
"It's very fragrant" said Adam approaching. He glanced impatiently at the cauldron that was emitting a delicious aroma. He stood behind Elena and helped take out two dishes and placed them next to Elena. Then Elena poured the same amount of rice on both plates. Adam brought the two plates to the dinner table. Then they sat down to eat a simple dish but it tasted very good. Even Adam blatantly praised Elena's cooking.
For a moment Elena felt their household looked normal. He always dreamed of having breakfast together, enjoying the dishes he made with all his heart. They will have breakfast with a joke. But only that. Again the hearts of reality always present remind him that they do not love each other and just carry out the routine as usual. The only thing that distinguishes it is status.
Elena finished her meal and put down her plate, then looked for plastic gloves to wash the dishes. His hands had improved a bit even though he still looked reddish.
"Let it go, I'll wash it. You can do everything else" said Adam, who grabbed the dish soap and washed all the dirty kitchen utensils. Meanwhile, Elena was very grateful and she went into the bathroom.

"Is this the place?" ask Elena to Adam. They stopped at a course that Adam had said.
"Yeah!" bring him. They got down and entered the building. It turned out that they had been waiting for her and Adam had already registered Elena since yesterday. He was so grateful for that.
After signing up and taking classes next week, Elena and Adam are home soon. It just so happened that Adam did come home early to take Elena.
"What are we eating tonight?" ask Adam.
"What do you want to make?"
"What a matter of course, the menu is simple and delicious as usual. It seems I'm in love with your cooking" Adam smiled at Elena. Elena just nodded wrongly. Her feelings warmed up even though Adam was simply praising her cooking. What does he hope for? Adam had everything he wanted, all according to his wishes and standards. He may be just a little bit of the many beauties and beauties that surround Adam.
Elena was thinking about the menu for them when Adam's phone rang. Adam's face looked anxious and he picked up his phone and listened while nodding. Then he turned off his phone and looked at Elena.
"You I'll drive you home. I have business. Cook it for you if you are lazy order it. I'm not coming home tonight" said Adam.
"Okay, is there a lot of trouble in the office?" ask Elena.
"Uhm. y. yes," Adam answered.
"Just relax, everything will be done with a cold head" Elena said as they reached the basement of their apartment. Adam nodded and immediately left after Elena came down. He's in a hurry.
Elena breezed happily up the elevator to her unit. He will celebrate tonight by making spicy chicken. Elena hummed open her unit and entered her unit with a smile.
Instantly his smile disappeared as he saw a man sitting on his living room sofa leisurely. The man looked at her cynically. Elena was terrified by the man, how did she get in? Though security is very tight and how the man can know the code to enter his unit.
The man approached Elena with a smile. Elena walked back and hit the door. He wanted to scream but no one would hear him, he would run out and seek help. But the man held the door and clutched his hand. A snide laugh was clearly visible in front of him. Elena held her breath. Then....
