The Conqueror Who Conquered

Hugo's Face Flushed

Hugo ran a little down the corridor. She passed through many eyes looking at him because the clothes he was wearing were different from those of the children at school. He doesn't care about it. His eyes are focused on looking for Richi.

Basketball game against Columba school he missed because he overslept. He was also unconscious when he woke up in Axel's house.

Axel's waiter said that Axel and other friends also stayed overnight. When Hugo woke up, his friends had already left because of today's match schedule early in the morning.

Hugo's eyes highlighted every space and did not find Richi. He then heads to Gor school hoping that the girl is there even though the match should be over.

Not yet in Gor, the run stopped. He saw Richi putting his face up in the sky. I don't know what the girl saw. But it seems like he was expecting something.

Richie closed his eyes. Let the wind scatter the hair near the ear that comes out of the tie. Richie enjoyed it.

"Richi" Call Hugo by his side. But Richie didn't hear it. Both of the girls' ears were covered in headsets as usual.

Hugo walked in front of Richi. Blocking the warm sunlight hit the girl's face with her hands dangling upwards.

Feeling disturbed, Richi opens his eyes and sees who a tall figure looms before him.

Richie didn't move. He stared at the face of the man who seemed to have no intention of going to school. Because the clothes he was wearing were still the same as last night. Her front hair blushed the wind gently. Hugo looked messy, but did not fade his brightly glowing face.

Hugo stared at Richi's face for quite a while. His hand was still on top like covering the sunlight that was not sting so as not to hit Richi's face.

There were whispers of people passing by. Praising Hugo's handsome face that seemed to match the black leather jacket he was wearing.

There are also whispers asking about the status of their relationship that is increasingly often seen together. Seeing Hugo running up to Richi and covering him from the sunlight, amplifying the gossip they had heard all along.

Richi. He unconsciously looked at the man for quite a while. Then he took off the headset that hooked on both his ears.

"What's wrong?"

Richi's question jerks Hugo. He lowered his hand. He was stunned for a moment. His breathing stopped as he looked at the face of the girl in front of him.

"I-i..."

Hugo was confused. Then he scrunched his eyebrows and thought. Why go see Richi? He had forgotten his purpose of meeting the girl in a hurry.

She somehow dreams of meeting Richi last night. Even the girl was helping him from people who seemed like they were going to harm him. That's why he's looking for Richi to thank.

But, is it just a dream? it feels very real. Inner Hugo.

"Are you okay?"

Hugo looked at Richi's face. The girl's question convinced her that it wasn't a dream.

"Are you helping me? Actually, I dreamt you were helping me out of a crowd of bad guys." Hugo seemed to think again. Remembering what was on his mind "Then you pushed me to the upside. My waist hurts so much now."

Richi held back her laughter. "You sure I did that?" Ask Richi. Because he sees Hugo unsure of his memory.

"Eitherway. Am I dreaming?"

"Yes, it seems so. Turns out you got me, Hugo." Temptation Richi while laughing.

Hugo's face flushed. He felt embarrassed because the events in his mind looked very real. Then hearing Richi's words earlier, it seems he was the one who was too imaginary.

"Ah. Sorry. It's like very real". She said timidly and lowered her head to hold her back neck.

Richi held back a laugh at Hugo's giggles. The man he saw sangar on the basketball court and in the ring was also able to be shy and even embarrassing.

"Okay, all right."

Richi turns around and leaves the man still standing there. His hand closed his mouth because it did not manage to hold his amused face.

"Ah shit. He must be laughing at me!" Mumbled Hugo who felt annoyed and embarrassed who became one.

...😶‍🌫️...

Hugo walked into the usual room he and his basketball friends used for discussion. There was already Daren, Isac, and Axel sitting on the sofa.

"Hows it? Do you remember what happened to you?" Daren asked as he saw Hugo emerge from the door.

Hugo flung out his body. Stretch out his hands on the back of the sofa and roll his head. What happened last night confused him. Because she felt dizzy, Carina drove her to a taxi and somehow woke up in Axel's house.

Geck.. Geck..

Their eyes turned to the door. Richi was already leaning on the open door leaf.

"Come in, Chi." Axel told Richi.

Hugo straightened his body. Shame still enveloped his body. He did not dare to look at the girl who was already sitting on the sofa in front of his right.

"Hugo, what do you remember about last night?"

Isac's question made him a little surprised. Is he going to tell you that Richi helped him? 'They will surely laugh at me' Inner Hugo.

"I-i'm.." Hugo glanced at Richi at a glance.

"You don't remember, do you?" Ask Axel.

"Do you feel like the drink you ordered has been mixed with medicine?" Connect Daren.

"What?" Hugo flinched. He didn't think until there. What the hell is it? Because he only remembered until Carina swept him towards the exit.

"Yes, I think your drink must have been mixed with drugs that made you unconscious." Daren.

Hugo furrowed his brows. He who is busy thinking between the real and not Richi who was present last night, makes him forget what happened to him at first.

"I just remember meeting that woman, and then I felt dizzy and she pulled me out of the bar. And.." Hugo stopped his sentence. He remembers Richi being there. But she didn't dare to say it. "and Carina helped me get into a taxi. After that I forgot. Suddenly wake up in your house" Point it at Axel. The others nodded.

Daren pulled out the phone and connected it to the screen in front of them. The screen shows CCTV footage from the barmaid arriving until Hugo is wedged by Carina to the exit bar door. Carina then took Hugo across the street. In the back, someone hoodie turned his back to the CCTV camera. Whether to say what, Carina refused by giving a hand code to someone behind her.

CCTV footage turned across the street. There, Richi pulls Hugo's hand and fights with two men until the scene of Hugo dropping into Richi's arms and swiftly push Hugo's body to the back.

"Pffftt" Someone in the room held back his laughter at the sight of what Hugo did to Richi.

Hugo held his breath. He wasn't focused on what Carina did to him. Except for his embarrassment at this time, in front of Richi was also his friends.

Until the video ends, Hugo is still tense. Especially seeing the reaction of his friends.

Richie looks calm. He folded his hands on his chest and crossed his legs.

'Ah, so it's not a dream.' inner Hugo. I don't know why he felt played by the girl. He looked in annoyance at her.

"What?" Richi asks who Hugo feels like.

"Hey, Hugo. Why is your face so angry with Richi? He helped you yesterday." Said Axel who noticed Hugo's gaze on Richi.

"I don't know what your problem is, which is for sure right now we should focus on what that girl almost did to you, Hugo". Daren began their discussion.

"I know.." Said Richi casually.
