SENSITIVE LOVE

73

Clara tightened her scarf. The winter is getting colder. Billi is currently in charge of replacing Jun. Clara made no comment when Steven said it this morning. Billi is still very clumsy when dealing directly with Clara. He who usually handles dangerous things is not used to facing a girl.

"Why'd your bodyguard change? Your request or Steven's decision?" ask Lusi. They're in class.

Clara wrote something in her notebook. 'Steven's will, but I think Jun's own request.'

"uh? Wh why? Don't tell me you're fighting?"

'Jun may be uncomfortable because his feelings are already known.'

Lusi glared and turned to Clara. He glanced at the lecturer in front. Get down and get a pen. Write there instead of talking.

'You know? Since when?'

'Stop talking about it, it's not comfortable for me either.' Clara wrote.

Susi pouted but eventually nodded, apologizing for the sound and was replied with a gentle smile by Clara.

At lunchtime, Lusi and Clara chose restaurants around the University. Billi chose to wait outside the restaurant. Even so, his eyes did not escape from Clara.

When the food came, Clara almost drank the drink ordered by Lusi if only Billi did not run over until the bottle fell to the floor and broke. Everyone was of course staring at them. Especially Billi who is now a byword because it is considered disrespectful.

"I'm sorry Miss, it's the latest brand. Maybe you don't know yet. But you can't drink it." Billi said with an apologetic face.

Clara glanced at the still intact bottle in front of Lusi. Take it and read the manufacturer who made the product.

'So they're not just isotonic drinks now, soda drinks too?' monologue Clara.

"What's wrong? The drink is not poisonous. Why are you overreacting? Is Clara allergic to some of the ingredients?" ask Lusi.

"Miss can't drink that at the moment because of her health" Billi replied kindly.

"Ooh ... That was very good. I even have stock in my room because I like the taste so much." said Lusi, regretting the situation Clara. He casually grabbed a drink from Clara's hand then gulped it down.

Clara bit her lips hard. He felt a great pressure and a terrible sense of guilt towards Lucia. Billi who noticed it immediately distracted Clara.

"Miss, what do you want to drink? I'll order it."

Clara glanced at him, she shook her head and just grabbed the white water glass on the table. Drink it before eating. His face is still grim. Even though Lusi talked a lot even asking her to joke around, she did not laugh at all.

.

After arriving home, Clara threw her body on the bed. With a still very bad mood, he took off all his clothes and left behind underwear. Walk to the pool and jump there. It gave off a loud thump that shocked Steven who had also just returned home.

Steven immediately ran and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Clara swimming with agility. He smiled and sat down in one of the chairs. Folding his legs casually while looking at Clara.

Clara realizes Steven is home, but she has no intention of saying hello. He was still overwhelmed with anger and a great sense of guilt. It even felt like he wanted to shout in front of Steven's face at the moment. Laying a curse for his creation that is very dangerous.

Steven glanced at the watch in his hand. He stood up and loosened his tie. He wants to take a shower first.

After she finished her bath, Clara was no longer in the pool. Steven chose to check the cctv in his secret room before dinner in a moment. He just has to make sure all his people are working according to his rules.

Checking one by one in the last 4 days certainly takes quite a lot of time. Even if he accelerates the rotating speed. Until the moment he checked his study room cctv. Only then did he catch the thing that made his heart beat.

Anger and disappointment surround him when he sees that the girl he loves turns out to be hiding a fact from him.

With a shunt Steven back to the top. Get out of the secret door and look for the whereabouts of her lover. Opens Clara's door and finds her reading a book on the bed.

Staring at him with a faint eye and disappointment. Clara looked up, looking up at Steven who was just standing in the doorway. Because Steven didn't speak, he ended up reading the book. Completely ignored Steven's attention there.

Steven came in, sat down on the side of the bed. His eyes were still staring at Clara. Disturbed, Clara looked back at him. Ask questions through his eyes. He knew something was wrong with Steven's facial expression, but was reluctant to ask further. More precisely, not wanting to get involved too much further in Steven's affairs. There is too much anger that he is angry with.

"Clara .. Can I ask you one thing?"

Clara nodded in response, but she avoided Steven's eyes, pretending to focus on his reading.

Clara raised her gaze, slowly she also straightened her sitting position. Get rid of the book on his lap and look straight at Steven.

"I don't know if Jun's grades are better than mine right now in your eyes. So you can be honest with her and lie to me." Steven raised his hand, stroking Clara's jaw with his thumb. "I must look stupid in your eyes when you think you still can't talk" he continued. The tone is cold. Instead of being scared as usual, Clara instead brushed aside Steven's hand and went down.

In his heart he had no intention of explaining the small misunderstanding there about him and Jun. He stood up with a hardened face that made Steven frown. In his eyes, he was like seeing a new figure from Clara. The look of the eyes was not as usual, there was no fear, there was no radiance of any worry when it had angered him.

"Is one of my lies bothering you? What about your own lies?"

"What lie do you mean?" steven's reply didn't take. He felt that he had done nothing but lie to Violet first.

"Oh .. I forget the perfect master is never wrong! Even dishonesty is not considered lying. Keeping everything secret is not lying. To trick me into coming to that damn place to kill someone IS NOT A LIE!" Clara shouted at the last two words. Along with her tears flowing.

Steven walked up to her but Clara retreated to dodge. "Don't touch me now." His face flushed and his body trembled as he said so.

"I hate you! I really hate you, Steven. I don't know you anymore. You are a complete stranger!" isak Clara's. He sat on the floor with his head down.

Steven was in his place. He knew sooner or later they would be in this phase. Where he had to let Clara love and hate him. Not knowing how long, but Steven did not want to stop making Clara accept him again and again. Sounds selfish, Steven knows it. However he could not at all release Clara from her world. No matter how depressed and suffering the girl.

Steven grabbed both of Clara's shoulders but the girl brushed him off. He got up by himself and ran out. He continued walking not knowing the direction, when he reached the ground floor living room he bumped into Jun who had just entered.

Jun gripped his shoulder to keep from coming out when he saw something was wrong. Clara tried to rebel and beat Jun with her small tag. Jun glanced at the newly arrived Carlos, giving the code to lock the door.

"Clara relax!" pinta Jun softly. However Clara did not listen, she forcefully pushed Jun and accidentally slapped him.

"Go! Don't block me! I'm sick of Jun!" it snapped in front of Jun's reddened face.

" ... " Jun turned his eyes away as soon as he realized that Steven was standing there.

Realizing that Clara turned around, looking at Steven hatefully.

"Why did you become a bad person! What fun to play with the lives of others! Even my friends!" Clara sobbed again. He remembered Luci and the guilt of possessing him was greater than before.

"I want to go, I don't want to be here anymore! I don't want to be with you anymore." sobs Clara.

Steven stepped closer to her, hugging her despite Clara's rebellion. "I'm sorry, honey. But the word go shouldn't come out of your lips. Because whenever I'm not gonna let that happen" Steven said flatly.

Clara stopped rebelling. He also stopped crying, then slowly he chuckled in a very pitiful tone. Even Jun who heard it couldn't bear the pain in his heart. Jun left from there with the same face full of regret. It was like Clara's fault for being like that.

Clara fainted in Steven's arms. The man picked her up and carried her back to the room. Ordered the waiter who had been standing near the kitchen to prepare dinner and told Carlos to bring him upstairs.

Steven gently put Clara on the bed. Pull up the blanket and tidy up the hair covering her face. Removing the remaining tears on that face and peeling his forehead feelingly.

"I'm sorry, Clara." he muttered.

.

Pixu sat on his throne. The gangster leader who had thousands of members was staring at his other son. One of four children he admits. The child that everyone knows in the fields as his successor.

"Dad ... will you pull Jun back? Don't you know he didn't like joining us long ago?" ask Ben.

Pixu played the wine in her hand gracefully, then came down from where she was sitting. His son, who had been bent down with his knees as a crutch, was now sitting on his knees.

"I'm letting you acknowledge yourself as my successor to everyone doesn't mean I'm going to do that. Remember Ben, you are the second child. And the one who should be my successor is my first child. Son of my legitimate wife. Not a concubine's son." said Pixu. Ben was offended, angry especially. But he could manage his expression well.

"Let's make a deal." Pixu raised next to his brows. When the second child raised his head and looked at him, he could see a great determination there. "Didn't West bother Steven? What if Dad makes us race to take him down. Whoever succeeds, he'll be the next leader."

Pixu laughed at his son's request. Of course he feels very funny. Because after all, she knew the abilities of all her children from childhood. West is not easy. He's backed by their rival gangster. Dropping him meant taking down their rivals as well.

"Good idea, my son. But before that. You should be able to get Jun to accept your idea. If he agrees to come back and compete with you, I will consider you and your proposal."

After his son left, Pixu smiled brightly. He seems to see his goal coming soon. Bringing his favorite son back.
