The Cold Little Prince

The Cold Little Prince
Part VIII: Sweet Night



Yoonbin with her hen plays an elongated red ribbon that ties Yuna's brown hair. The usually noisy girl is now busy writing ospek majors. The last Ospek who will free him from all sorts of strange unreasonable demands.


The clock has shown at 9 p.m., Yuna is still at Yoonbin's boarding house because she does not want to do chores at home alone. More precisely, he wanted to ask Yoonbin for help to do some of his tasks. The guy will not want to obey because Yuna likes to be noisy if her will is not met.


"Still long?" asked Yoonbin who was tired of playing Yuna's hairband.


"At a moment," Yuna replied without looking at her interlocutor.


Yoonbin dropped her tired body on the bed. He closed his eyes, ignoring the fact that Yuna was still inside his room. Lately Yuna has always been to her boarding house. No visit ban is sometimes less favorable as well. She cannot forbid Yuna to come to her boarding house.


Yoonbin's consciousness was already almost gone when Yuna called out to her a few times. Yuna became annoyed that her call had been ignored again.


"Sister, help me this first dong bentar," pinta Yuna. "Sister!"


Yoonbin woke up because Yuna's voice was slightly raised. He so often relented because arguing with Yuna turned out to be very tiring. Mending his energy he save for other activities. The coachman debate was nothing but tired and momentary pride.


"What?" ask Yoonbin ketus. He got up and settled himself on the edge of the bed.


"Bantuin just broke. Let me walk home," Yuna said more correctly as an order.


"It's a hell of a nyusahin" replied Yoonbin ketus but he still works as well.


"Please check my belongings have gone into the bag or not" Yuna ordered. "The list is next to the deck bag of the mattress."


Yoonbin did it by force. He made sure that the items on Yuna's list had all entered. Yuna bothered to like other people.


"Will this be taken home now?" asked Yoonbin while sitting next to Yuna's ospek bag.


"Yes," Yuna replied briefly. He still has to finish his essay.


"Simpen is here. I'm anterin tomorrow."


Yoonbin's offer was rather unusual. Yoonbin usually doesn't want to be bothered. But now he offered help willingly. Yuna surprised.


"Thank you. Later sister will have to wake up at dawn for anterin my stuff," Yuna refused subtly.


"It's okay. I'll be anterin. The essay does not need to be continued, let me just write. Your writing is never clear the point of the problem," Yoonbin's speech is more suitable to be referred to as reproach. Yuna's motivation was shaken.


"Yes already. Look out if it's not right," Yuna said a little threateningly. "I'm ready to go home first. Thanks, brother."


Yoonbin did not respond to Yuna's words. He stood up and took two jackets, one of which he gave to Yuna.


"Gue anterin back," Yoonbin said ending Yuna's confusion.


"I should have said that," Yoonbin replied still in her cold tone. "Gue Anterin is not because he cares. I'm just afraid you keep me dragged in cases that might happen the same lo."


Yuna looked down and listened to Yoonbin. Not because of pleasure, but because of sleepiness. He lost his focus little by little.


"I don't have a jacket" Yuna said.


"And there's my jacket," Yoonbin replied, then stood up, picked up the maroon jacket, then threw it slowly at Yuna. "Let's get a little bit."


Yoonbin walked ahead of Yuna who was walking unsteadily behind her. He turned on his old motorbike engine and Yuna happily sat his butt on the bike which later quite often picked him up. Yoonbin is not Yuna's personal intercessor.


"Guanlin is also in the prospect tomorrow, right?"


Yoonbin's question was very sudden and impressed random. But Yuna answered him.


"Yes" replied Yuna. "There's Somi too. Ex-sister."


"Oh" Yoonbin's response. "He was medical. So good is he. I have to get along with my ex."


Yoonbin was joking. It was evident from his small hardness that made Yuna hit his back lightly. Yoonbin knows that Yuna is not as fond of Somi as she is of Guanlin who follows Yuna around quite often.


"Whose departure is same?" yoonbin asked a little screamed as her voice was often swallowed by the wind and caused misunderstanding with her chatting partner.


"don't know. Maybe I'll take an ojek online," Yuna replied, also shouting.


"Gue pick it up if so. Don't be so bad, huh," without a doubt Yoonbin said that to Yuna, causing Yuna's blood to rustle unusually.


"Sister..."


"What?"


"Can you not hug?"


The atmosphere became quiet for a few moments. There is only wind and the sound of vehicles still busy filling the streets of Depok which is rarely quiet.


"Please."


Yoonbin let Yuna hold her tightly. His heart was pounding very hard, his blood was rustling rapidly, fortunately his mind was still safely under control. The red gush on her face was caused by the wind and Yuna's embrace which also created an awkward smile on her jutek face.


Yuna leaned her head against Yoonbin's back. No more words spoken. There is only a hug, two smiles complete with the happiness and naivety that Yoonbin often shows, as well as a love that grows stronger over time. A very pleasant youth.
