SENSITIVE LOVE

50

This morning, Clara sat beside Jun's bed that was having breakfast porridge. At first Clara wanted to help him but Jun rejected her subtly. After that he said nothing at all. Clara was silent too. There was a sense of guilt in his heart for Jun's current state.

After the jun was over, Clara got up to put Jun's old plate outside, but Carlos swiftly picked it up as Clara opened the door.

"Thank you, Carlos." Carlos smiled kindly. Then walk into the kitchen immediately.

Clara turned around after closing the door again. "Jun..Is there anything else you need?" tanyakanya.

"Can you just go outside, miss? I want a break."

Clara was stunned, Jun was so cold. Since the first time he met, it was the first time he had behaved like that.

"You're getting bolder" Steven commented, his tone sounding ordinary but anyone knew there was anger. Jun glanced at him, but did not reply. He just stared blankly at the ceiling of the room.

"You can get rid of me then, I know you always carry weapons." challenge Jun.

I don't know what he's thinking. His tone and eyes clearly showed that he no longer respected Steven as his boss.

Steven who had been focusing on his phone even while talking finally raised his gaze, staring at Jun full of question marks. The corner of his lips lifted slightly, admiring the courage of his subordinates. For the first time, Jun was acting presumptuous towards her.

With a light movement Steven got up from his leisurely sitting. His face was as cold as Jun at the moment. Her hand moved towards the pocket of the coat she was wearing but her movements stopped as Clara ran in front of her. The girl stretched out her hands and shook her head a few times.

"Don't hurt him again Steve!" clara said firmly.

Steven pulled Clara's hand to stand by her side. Then turn to Jun who was still lying down. Jun only glanced a little, he came back indifferent and cold.

"Never challenge me, Jun!" steven said full of threats. Then pull Clara's hand out of there.

Jun sighed and raised his arm to cover his gaze. Her tears are dripping. For the first time in a long time, she cried. Even when her brother died, Jun did not shed his tears.

His heart is very painful. I don't know why this time he couldn't help it. This was because since he regained consciousness at midnight last night, he had already thought of his greatest wish. Thinking about the purpose he lives for now. Then think of what he would do to the only woman who made him realize, that he needed his presence. The woman who was not his from the beginning. He did not even understand, since when his feelings began to grow so that it had developed so deeply that he realized it.

Jun is sure, if there was no Clara among them, it is certain he will get a shot from Steven. Because Jun had never been this brave to be so brash. Even though he was much older, Jun knew he would not be able to beat Steven in any way.

.

Steven took Clara on a gazebo. There it turned out to have been waiting for Frans doctor with a young doctor. A man whose age might be on par with Jun.

"It's nice to see you look better" she said when she saw Clara. "I think I can say you're 70% cured" he continued.

Steven and Clara sat down. They sit facing. Steven glanced at the young doctor who had been watching Clara with an interested face.

"Ah.introduce he is my student. I was interning at my place of work." said Dr. Frans.

The man raised his hand to introduce himself to Steven and Clara. "Alexsander, just call Alex" he said kindly.

"And what's the reason you brought her here, Frans?" steven asked flatly, as if saying he wasn't needed here. Even though the fact is so.

"In company of his teacher. This island belongs to his family anyway, so he wants a vacation."

"So he's the Scott family's second child?" guess Steven with a weird smile. It's no secret that the Scott family's second child is rumored to have an interest in the same sex. But now Steven can be sure that it's just gossip. In fact, Steven knows what he's trying to hide.

"Don't we ever meet before, Mr. Scott? in a place where it shouldn't be. But of course .. we didn't get to know, at that time you looked very busy" Steven said. His smile indicated something. Make Clara and Frans' doctor look at them questioningly.

"Do you know each other?" ask dr. Frans.

"Hmm..I thought maybe at that time I did not see you, sorry I did not recognize you at that time." said Alex kindly.

The atmosphere felt different, something suspicious between them was diluted by dr.Frans who better understood the situation. So he turned to Clara.

"Clara, want a walk?" tanyakanya.

"uh? walk.." Clara's reflexes turned to Steven.

"Let these two people reminisce. There's one thing I'd like to prove in Mr. Steven's presence, it will determine whether we need to see each other again or not" he said.

"Go away" said Steven. Then looked at Carlos who was standing a few meters away from them. Carlos who understood nodded briefly.

After the departure of the two, Steven changed his nose to be flat and serious. Like when he was in the office. There is absolutely no friendly or friendly. And so is Alex. It was like he was turning into someone else.

"So, what's your purpose in meeting me?"

Alex pulled the corner of his lips. "You know Mr Aston is very interested in you, right? because he hasn't been able to take you in yet.Our research is hampered."

"So he told you to persuade me?"

Alex smiled, "Do you think? even he didn't succeed how could I do it?" alex replied relaxed.

"Sir Steven..you're so special you know? I don't know where Mr. Aston's interested you. So far, he has never treated his target this well. He even helps you stand up strong, letting you step as you please and even threatening him.you really caught my attention." continued Alex. Steven looked at him, but there was a meaningful expression and there was an intention to answer.

"I wonder what it is like inside your head. What kind of DNA do you have..."

"Therefore do you dare to meet me? then you think I'm the target of Aston's research? very simple thought." replied Steven.

Alex's eyebrows swooped in for a moment. It was clear from his exores that the man looked confused for a moment. But he hid it well. Inwardly wondering if his guess was wrong?

"Go back to your friends and learn more. You're seeing me too early." continued Steven as he stood up.

"Speedly or slowly..." Alex stood up, their eyes re-encounter. "Mr Aston will get you in his research room. I've never seen it fail" Alex said with great confidence. Makes Steven smile.

"Did your father know about your relationship with Aston? Why not be honest? maybe you'll be a favorite kid." Steven quipped, leaving a formal impression of them. Then with a light step left Alex clenching his hand.

.

Meanwhile Clara and Dr.Frans are walking along the beach. Then sit in one of the lounge chairs there. Since then, Dr. Francis has continued to ask questions. But somehow Clara felt tired just by answering all her questions. It was as if his brain was forced to work twice as much.

"doctor Frans, don't ask again. I'm tired of answering you." Clara complained.

Frans laughed, "This is the last one, can you watch this vidio?"

Clara received Frans's doctor's phone. Then lazily start watching the vidio being played. Vidio is a movie. More precisely a picture from a movie. A few minutes later, Clara widened her eyes and flipped the phone over the table. His body became stiff for a moment. The voice of the Dividio he could still hear, the sound of screams and apologies.

Frans' doctor took his cell phone and turned off the vidio. Then refocus on Clara who blinked slowly. Trying to regulate his breath and looked at Doctor Frans with a face of shock.

"How are you feeling?" tanyakanya.

"I think I'm fine, just surprised" replied Clara slowly. He could feel his heart pumping so fast.

"It's okay, it's just a movie. Even if it happens in the real world, you know what you're doing, right?" Clara nodded.

"Have finished? Why are you guys so long?"

Steven's voice interrupted both of them.

"Sure, Clara looks a lot better. He was already not afraid of the new person and was in the crowd right? I think he's healed. Just make sure that in the near future he does not experience events that trigger his trauma back. Then you don't need to take any more medicine." replied Dr. Frans who immediately turned to Clara.

"Thank you, you can go then."

"Oh God...! You have a very strong heart for me. But I am a busy doctor. So I'm leaving first. Well, Mr. Steven don't forget my last paycheck" he said, then left with a face full of satisfaction.

The two returned to the inn for lunch, because Steven wanted to invite Clara to try a few games after before this afternoon back home.

"Where's Jun? he's still sick, isn't he?" ask Clara. Carlos was looking around the inn and questioning some people.

"When I was told to get some water, he was still in the room. When I returned he was not there." replied the bodyguard.

Clara tries to contact him but his number is off. Steven went into the room, then spread his eyes around every corner. There's nothing. The room was empty of Jun's belongings.

"In the end you chose to leave, coward!" hiss Steven. He pulled out his phone and checked the notifications even E-mail. However, no messages came from Jun.

"We need to find him, Steve. What if something happens. She's still sick." Clara asked on the doorstep.

"No need, let's have lunch" said Steven, walking out and pulling Clara with him.

"No, we have to find Jun." Clara refused while letting go of Steven's grasp.

Steven growled furiously, "What's looking for people who want to leave. He left on his wish. He's out of my company." Steven replied in a sharp tone. His emotions began to rise.

"Go? not possible ... Jun ... leave?" lirih Clara's.

"Yes, he chose to go instead of facing me or facing his own feelings" Steven replied cynically.

Clara looked at him cluelessly, but Steven had no intention of explaining it at all. He ordered Carlos to prepare the ship. Decided to go home soon. The atmosphere was not as good as it had been for her to plan for fun. Jun's departure was like a blow to both of them. Especially Steven who has been with him for a long time. Jun was not only his trust, but an important figure who understood him all along. People who can do anything for him complain. Even his best friend did not gain as much trust as Jun had earned.

.

They returned home in a bad mood. Just shut up. Steven even forgot that they missed lunch. Until when we get home. Carlos with the rest of his courage reminded them to eat.

Sindy who saw the situation they approached Clara who was about to ascend. While Steven went to his study followed by Carlos.

"Clara..what's up?" tanyakanya. But Clara just passed away.

Sindy frowned in wonder. So he quickly approached one of the guards who came along and forced him to speak.

"Master Jun is missing," he said.

"Where? why can?"

"No idea, it's none of our business anyway" said the bodyguard. Then just leave. Making Sindy curse in the heart.

Clara could not sleep until midnight. Since arriving home he keeps trying to contact Jun but his phone remains inactive. Clara feels really guilty because she is not honest with Steven, Jun is the target of Steven's anger. In this girl's innocent mind, Jun left because Steven hit her. That's why he doesn't want to work with her anymore.

"Jun..where are you? I have to apologize to you." she said, hugging the pillow with a matted face.

Clara got up, put away the blanket and walked out. He went to Steven's room. Tapped him a few times but there was no answer. Finally, he boldly opened it. Go in a little and see if Steven's asleep. The room was empty and felt cold. Looks like Steven hasn't been in the room since they got home.

Clara went down to her study. Slowly open the door, but do not go inside. He stopped his steps on the doorstep when he saw the scene inside. Where Steven was sleeping on Sindy's lap. Perhaps because he heard the door open, the man opened his eyes. Grimacing softly while sitting and staring at the door.

"Am I bothering you?" ask Clara flat.

Steven was still gathering his consciousness. Clara glanced at the drink bottle on the round table in front of the sofa. Guess what happened.

"Why here? you awake?" steven asked slightly staggering as he stood up. Sindy gripped her arm.

"I'm sorry, continue with your show!" ketus the girl, then ran from there with a chaotic feeling. Wanting to get angry but he realized they were not tied to any relationship, he himself refused.

"Clara's stupid! you don't have to cry. He's free to be with anyone." he poked while pressing the button to get into the elevator.

After the door opened he immediately entered and wiped away his rough tears. After he entered the room and covered his whole body with a blanket.

Meanwhile, Steven who had already found his consciousness pulled himself out of Sindy. Then just leave. He could not remember why the woman was in his study. He even fell asleep in his lap. Steven was drinking alone. He couldn't concentrate on working because he kept thinking about Jun leaving. The feeling of anger and disappointment made him choose to get drunk to forget about it.

Sindy who was still inside the study smiled. Then he casually drank the rest of Steven's drink directly from the bottle.

"How much longer do I need to get you, Steven? I was lucky because of Jun's departure. Nothing will stand in my way anymore." he murmured.

Steven opened the door to Clara's room slowly. Walk up to her bed and pull the blanket that covered Clara's body. Unfortunately the girl seemed to come to her senses and held back her blanket.

"Clara .. lest I pull it forcibly." Steven threatened, his head still hurts but he held it.

Clara opened her blanket slightly and with a red face and watery eyes she caught Steven angry. "out! I'm gonna take a break!" he said flatly.

Steven sighed, quietly lying next to him. Hugged Clara. The girl thrashed but did not produce any effect. Steven was too strong for him.

"Be quiet, my head hurts."

Clara glanced at him in growing anger. Then resentfully tried to move behind him. Steven fell asleep quickly, but his arm that locked Clara's movements did not detach. When Clara was about to break away Steven would wake up and tighten his embrace again. Finally, with a heavy heart and anger held in, he shut up and fell asleep.

.

The next morning when Clara woke up Steven was gone. So he went to the bathroom to clean himself up. When he came out, he was surprised by the presence of Steven who was sitting on his bed. Checking his phone.

Clara cuefully walked inside the walk in closet to wear clothes. Hopefully by the time Steven's done, he'll be gone. His hope is in vain. Steven was still there, with a face of guilt instead telling him to come closer.

Clara was silent, making Steven exhale and he who stood up. Then hugged the girl gently.

"Good morning." said he.

"Depart, Steve! go to the woman who expects you!" clara said cynically.

"Who? I just want a girl named Clara. I don't need another girl." she replied calmly.

"You can't give hope to another girl but tell me something like this. Sindy likes you and I think she's better than me" said Clara. Steven smiled then lowered his hand to the girl's waist. Keep her head away so she can look at Clara's face that looks upset.

"I like it when you're jealous."

"I'm not jealous, I'm realistic!" sewot Clara's.

"Oh? then I'm the unrealistic one. Come down for breakfast. Then come along with Carlos for college. During the healing, you miss a lot of lessons before even starting."

Clara let go and took a step back. "I want Jun found first. I just felt safe with Jun when he came out." replied Clara.

Steven's face darkened. Even Clara took two steps back in fear. That horrible face came back, these are the times Clara always feared.

"Is Jun really important to you?" steven asked coldly and full of anger.

"Yes, Jun is important because he is the one who looks after and comforts me while you keep me locked up here. Jun who understood when I was sad and worried. He's a good friend but since I too .. you hit him!" clara replied, she was scared but she was also angry. So that it reveals what he wants to feel.

"I didn't lock you up, Clar! there's a reason why I won't let you go anywhere!"

"I know, I know but still! You let someone else come with you but you locked me in here! I don't know anyone else but Jun here, everything feels foreign but you're kept busy!"

Steven sighed, he finally understood the point of Clara's anger but still did not understand the thought of the girl before him.

"You're jealous of your own friend?"

"No!" elak Clara was quick.

"Then ... tell me who you said when you were on the island. Then I won't say your attitude is out of jealousy." challenge Steven. He realizes one thing, that it is possible that he mistakenly accused Jun of being the one. Seeing Clara's anger last night and this morning, he was a little hopeful even though this was still his thinking. That man is himself.

"There's no one else, right?" fishing rod Steven. Clara was silent and lowered. "Nobody else because it's me?" guess it. Seeing Clara's reaction, Steven finally understood what was happening. Then rubbed his face because he had been feeling stupid lately. Forgetting common sense due to his own jealousy. Then Steven gently took Clara into his arms.
