Punishment for the Killer

Contrition

Elyn looked so beautiful at the time. She was wearing a red dress, well-dressed hair with a yellow ribbon. With a bewildered look Elyn slowly approached Regi.

"Sister.. See Evan's brother?" Elyn asked Regi.

"Hmmmm.. Maybe he's still getting ready" Regi replied after rolling his eyeballs looking for Evan's figure.

"Just wait here, and he'll come.." Imbuh Regi's.

Elyn decides to wait for Evan with Regi. They dissolve in their conversation. Occasionally their heads glanced back and forth looking for Evan.

It seems Elyn had forgotten about yesterday's incident. Regi looked relieved to see it. He had been quite worried about Elyn these few days.

Regi glanced back here and there he looked for the figure of Evan.

"Aahs... " His words were interrupted. He held his hand but stopped.

"What's up, brother?" A confused Elyn tried to follow Regi's point of view.

"Renji.. Aahs... I forgot you told me to get some warm water for Renji. Looks like I'll be scolded.." Regi. He made a wish so that Elyn would stay on him.

Regi saw Evan holding Bella's hand back then. He was sure if Elyn saw him Elyn would be even sadder and remember the events of yesterday again.

"Yes already.. Let's get some water for Renji.." Elyn pulled Regi's hand.

"Ah. that's Evan's brother. He held Bella's hand. What's up, huh?" Mumbled Elyn.

Elyn had seen Evan at a glance, they had seen eye-to-eye. But Elyn did not dare to disturb them, Bella would be angry if she approached earlier.

Regi slowly filled the water in a small glass. He took another glass for Elyn. The water was poured on Elyn.

Elyn greeted him, she gulped down the water slowly. Elyn's gaze was empty. Regi knew he was sensitive enough to see the incident earlier.

"Sorry.." The state finally confessed.

"It's okay.. Brother just doesn't want Elyn to worry more.." Elyn smiled.

"Abelyn, don't hold back your feelings. Try talking to Evan. He'll definitely help you. Try to listen to Evan's opinion." Regi, who could not stand all the misunderstandings, tried to persuade Elyn. He couldn't have talked this directly to Evan without Elyn's permission. Evan did not ask her. Had Evan asked Regi would not have been this sad either.

"alright.. Elyn will try!!!" Elyn cried with a low tone.

"You okay, right, Lyn??" Ask Regi seriously.

"It's okay.. Thank goodness they were friends. I hope they're not mad at me anymore." Elyn lowered her head. He felt so wrong.

"Yes.. Thank goodness they were close friends. I don't want to disturb. But.. Why does my chest feel tight." Elyn muttered in her heart. He held his chest tight. He set his breath. He looks very upset.

"Drink a little more.. Meet Evan and just talk about it all" Regi went back to advising.

The mood is getting boisterous. The show will start soon. Elyn did not find Evan from earlier, either around the stage or in the waiting room.

"Damn... Where the hell are those people.." Elyn looked upset. She pulled her dress here and there. The dress was almost tangled. Her hair started to loose.

"duh.. Brother Evan.." Elyn grumbling.

Elyn rolled both her eyes. He decided this was his last search.

"If you don't look out later.." Elyn was already at the peak of her emotions.

He is Evan's partner of course he has to find Evan. Otherwise they will appear not on schedule. Events can fall apart if one is not on time. That's how Elyn thought. Until he saw that figure. The figure of Evan who was sitting sweetly on a chair near the pile of goods. In the Changing Room, clothes are now a place to put temporary items.

"Yeahaa geez... Wanted.. Pantesan did not meet. He nodded" Elyn rushed over to Evan.

"Sister.. Elyn nyariin from earlier.." Elyn smiled broadly. He looks relieved to have found Evan.

"Yuk.. It's about to start.." Elyn pulled Evan's hand. But Evan did not budge from his chair.

Bella came by then. Evan immediately stood up, at the edge of Elyn's hand.

"Yuk Bella's.. You're my partner this time.." Evan extended his hand to Bella. Bella grabs Evan's hand with a big smile. They left Elyn alone.

Elyn was still stunned. He was trying to understand what was really going on. He looked at the hand that Evan was holding.

"You're my partner this time.." Elyn repeated Evan's words to Bella.

He looked at himself in the mirror. Tears that were no longer contained now dripped with a rush. Elyn crying.

"I look so pathetic.." Elyn sobbed in her cries.

Elyn looked around. There was only him in the room and a pile of stuff. The messy hair and the saggy bond were already very uncomfortable. He pulled a ribbon in his hair. Head lowered. He saw the dress again that had been tangled. Elyn sat in the chair. His feet are starting to hurt.

"Aahs.. It hurts..." Elyn half yelled and went back sobbing. His feet were broken and bleeding. He ran around looking for Evan in a dress and party shoes that must have been very uncomfortable.

Elyn did not expect Evan to be able to ignore her so. He thought about what he had done wrong to Evan.

It doesn't matter if you're treated harshly by someone else. Elyn doesn't care. But Evan was cold to her. It made his heart like it was torn to shreds. Elyn thought hard. Trying to remember what he did wrong. He wanted to make up with Evan.

***

"Ely.. You were so absorbed in Regi that you forgot about me. You saw me there but don't come near me. You even pulled Regi's hand and passed away." Evan muttered in his heart. He was looking at Elyn with a glance. But seeing Elyn who decided to ignore them actually made Evan even more jealous.

"Sister.. I'm so happy to be a big sister.." Bella smiled broadly.

"Yes.." Answer Evan briefly.

"Sister.can't I just call Evan's brother?" Bella asked hesitantly.

"What the fuck is this girl. I want to call you Evan. Calling ordinary doesn't matter. Why the hell?" Evan muttered in his heart. He looks a little uncomfortable with Bella.

"Sister.. Abelyn can just call Evan's sister. Can I too, brother?" Bella's back on the brakes.

"You compare yourself to Elyn.. Huh basic.. You are not comparable to him. Elyn didn't expect anything to be friends with me. Not like you guys who want to.." Evan grumbled in his heart. His forehead is a little wrinkled. He looks a little upset.

"Hmmm... " Bella looks disappointed.

The show began. Evan and Bella appeared at the end of the show.

"alright.. Call me Evan.." Evan suddenly finished from the stage.

"Well.. Actually brother.. Can you?" Bella seemed to be in disbelief at what she heard.

"Yeah.." Answer Evan briefly

" Okay, Evan.." Bella mentions Evan's nickname shyly.

Evan decides to let Bella call him 'Evan'. He wanted to see Elyn's expression when he heard that. He wanted to make Elyn angry. I don't know why. He really wants Elyn to feel what he feels when he sees Elyn's closeness with Regi.

"Am I outrageous huh.. Ah.. Never mind.." Evan was a little regretful of his actions.

The award ceremony for exemplary employees has also passed. As expected Evan who paired with Bella made a furore. Elyn was not seen on the show. Elyn's parents started to look worried.

Evan remembers the Elyn he left behind. Throughout the show he did not see Elyn. Evan even saw Regi who was engrossed and dissolved in the festive event. Not with Elyn. He started to rile. Mind fucked. He regretted his actions to Elyn earlier.

"Aahs.. Elyy.. I'm sorry.." Evan's remorse is growing.

Evan decides to return to the room to find Elyn.
