" Noa where did you get the CCTV footage from?", asked Cleo as they were in Ran's car.
Noa's car must be brought to the workshop to be cleaned. Noa has to spend money on it.
" One of those policemen is my friend Cle" Noa replied with a smile.
Cleo nodded in admiration for the reckless actions of their best friend. " Where are you going now?" asked Cleo. "Do you want to drive home?" Cleo continued.
" Can't, Cruz asked Noa to come to his apartment" Ran explained.
Noa looked at Ran a little confused. "You tell Cruz about this?", asked Noa.
" Yes", replied Ran as she sneered her eyes remained focused on the street
"Raaaannn" Cleo bsrkata.
" I'm just worried about yesterday's incident. I thought this was the same stalker. So I decided to call Cruz", Ran defended herself.
Noa looked at Ran as much as Cleo. It feels like Noa wants to grab Ran's hair.
There's a reason Noa didn't tell Cruz, first Cruz was very busy and if she heard Noa was in trouble, Cruz would definitely run away from his job to see Noa.
Second, Noa felt that this was a trivial problem that could be easily solved.
Third, Noa still clearly remembered Cruz's face that was pale because of the stalker's act first. Noa doesn't want anything like that to happen again for Cruz.
Noa sighed and just then her ponsle rang. Cruz called, Noa picked up the phone from Cruz in a quiet voice.
" Hello Cruz", Noa replied.
" Where are you? I'm gonna pick you up? Are you all right? My work is done so I can pick you up now", Cruz spoke without giving Noa a chance to make a sound.
" Hey Cruz. . I'm doing fine. Its alright. I'm with Ran and Cleo, so calm down. I'm fine" Noa said.
"Are you sure you're okay? ", Cruz asked worriedly.
" Yes, I'm fine. I'm going to your house tonight" Noa continued.
" All right, I'll be waiting for you at the apartment" Cruz said.
Noa hung up the phone and massaged her forehead slowly. Seeing that Ran just laughed softly.
" I saw Cruz for the first time" Ran said
"Masa? When he was with July did he not?", asked Cleo.
Noa was silent listening to the husband-and-wife conversation.
Noa was silent, everything Ran said was inversely proportional to the story that came out of July's mouth.
What Noa heard was that July seemed to really love Cruz with all her heart.
" Did Cruz know about that?", asked Noa.
" No, Cruz thought July really liked him. Until the moment Cruz opened his heart, July left him. Leaving Cruz in the middle of his depression" replied Ran. " Did Cruz ever say that he has an anxiety disorder?", Ran asked Noa.
" No, Cruz never said it" Noa replied with a heart-breaking slur.
" He won't say it because of the experience" Ran said again.
Noa was very sad to hear that, Cruz did not want to be left behind. He must have been very disappointed back then, feeling alone.
Noa stared out the car window, watching the tall gedyng that passed by like it was left behind them.

" July, have you decided on my offer?", asked Jay when he met July between his busy schedules.
" Yes, I'm still considering it" replied July but did not stare at Jay.
Still ringing in Julu's ears about the love statement made by Jay. For some reason every time he meets Jay, it feels like July wants to run away.
" Your time is 1 week away. Think about it and give me your answer later. I wait" said Jay slowly.
July was transfixed, Jay's voice sounded very subtle and seductive.
Before leaving Jay turned around again and looked at July.
" Lately, it seems like you've always been avoiding me. What's the matter?", Jay asked curiously to make July a club.
"I'm not avoiding you. I'm just busy" July reasoned.
Jay just nodded in understanding. Then leave July alone.
It's true, after that day every time Jay meets as much as July can avoid him. If you see Jay at the end of the hallway then July quickly turns around, if Jay calls him to chat quickly July pretending to be calling.
Actually, July is very tired of avoiding Jay, but that's all he can do now.
Every time he met this man, July always remembered about the expression of that feeling. What's worse is that sometimes July keeps remembering the embarrassing behavior of what he has done in front of Jay. His face would meet red if he remembered all those events.
Julie looked at herself in the mirror. When will he avoid Jay? Suatau when she has to brave Jay and her feelings.
