The Horizon Boundaries

Ch.16 Actual Perpetrator

"Erik lift your shoulders a little. Kio please express more. You're not a statue. Ken keep your position." Albert gave an aba-aba starting the shooting session. The three men changed positions according to his direction.

After the shoot, the three were silent. Albert came to them. A gloomy aura emanated. Albert cast his eyes one by one. No one wants to explain. He took a long breath.

"Go home if it just adds to the gloomy atmosphere of my boutique."

Albert moved his hand expelling all three of his flagship models. Erik approached Albert whispering something. Albert grinned at Ken and Kio. I didn't think the two were fighting because of women. To the surprise of the woman was not Alice. Who is that girl. Albert wanted to meet him.

"If I want a fistfight let me show you the room. I'll specially prepare for you." Albert chuckles amusedly.

Ken and Kio glared at him. Albert put on a face pretending to be afraid, making the two even more annoyed. Ken is still upset with him. He didn't make it to Maisa. The last time they met was when they both apologized. The girl disappeared like she was swallowed by the earth. Even after asking for a phone number from Mia, the girl could not be reached as if she was avoiding him after crying on the phone.

The sound of the phone ringing broke the silence. Ken snatched his phone off the table. He rushed away. Erik and Kio trailed behind him, entering the smartphone repair stand. A young man greeted the three, taking them to a special room. The man showed Kio's previous damaged phone history. Ken brought his phone here.

"You have to pay for my hard work. It's not easy to find the IP address that's spreading that video."

He sat down in a terrace cafe. The atmosphere of the cafe is bustling downstream visitors. The three were shocked to see who copied the video and spread it.

"I don't think we need to prolong this. Kasian. It's been a long time anyway" Erik said.

"Well! Spreading the video is already a crime. It should be reported to the police" Ken's assailant riled up.

"Isn't it your fault for playing Alice. Alice is hurt because of you." Erik raised his voice.

"Hey... Don't be reckless, yeah. I don't have any feelings for him. Why don't you come near if you like."

"What are you fussing about. It's late. I heard the circulation was pulled." Kio crossed his hands to the chest.

Kio's words have a point. He secretly asked the authorities to withdraw all circulation of the video to reduce his guilt on Maisa.

"So much as it sounds. Maisa scored because of the video. Indirectly he was socially sanctioned. That incident was long ago. You also contributed to the matter Kio."

The three of them looked at each other, no one wanted to give up. Quietly long enough, sipping drinks ordered each. The ego still controls all three.

"Sister Kio also stopped by this cafe, yes." The soft voice of a girl spread tension.

All three. Mia smiled kindly greeting the three. Beside her was Maisa, one of the girls who cheated cok trio good looking. Mia pulled one of the chairs, sitting next to Kio. His face was embarrassed. It was obvious that the girl liked Kio. Kio looked puffed up, Erik chuckled amusedly at seeing her like a dead flea next to the girl.

Maisa looks hesitant between joining them or not. His gaze made him uncomfortable. Moreover, Kio's view seems to say what you are here for.

Ken is stunned by Maisa's presence. He missed this girl. Immediately pulled Maisa away, gesturing for the others not to follow her.

Mia saw Kio's face exuding dislike to see the departure of the two. His heart is in pain. Kio has feelings for Maisa. Since the first time she met, Mia thought that Kio already knew Maisa. Maisa is always evasive if she asks about her relationship with Kio. He must endure the sadness of being mixed with jealousy into one. Currently his relationship with Kio is nothing more than an idol and a fan.

Ken took Maisa to a corner of the cafe, not so far away from them gathering. He refrained from hugging the girl, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable. Ken still held his hand. Even when sitting facing him, he did not want to let go.

"Sa, I'm glad you're okay. If there's anything you can tell me right away."

Maisa smiling. Ken was really worried about her. "I can't promise, Brother."

"I don't know what your relationship is with Kio, but he doesn't mind. So I want to be close to you. "

The girl looked surprised, her eyes widened. His lips were slightly open about to say something but were undone. He turned his head towards Kio who was sitting quite far apart. Kio looked at him for a moment then threw away his face. Ken moved his hand in front of Maisa's face.

"Are you okay?."

His eyes blinked for a moment. Maisa gave a small laugh looking at the sparkling expression on Ken's face. "I'm fine, brother."

"Seriously?"

"So next time Maisa won't dodge if I take the road, right?"

"Come away!"

"Hey... What kind of answer is that?"

Ken smiled with relief seeing Maisa laughing. The perceived clutter slowly disappears. At least Ken needs time to really get close to him.

"Ken said you can pretty much play basketball, right? Coincidentally our basketball team manager again moved college abroad. You want to be the manager of our basketball team" Kio asked Mia.

The girl stopped stirring her drink. He can't believe he heard it. Stunned for a moment. His face looks happy to be close to his idol. Something he didn't expect.

"That's right! I want!"

“Wait first. Ken recommended it, though. There's nothing, right? Like the smells of nepotism let it be close to him.” Erik raised his voice.

“He is quite competent as a basketball team manager. I've seen the game" said Ken reassuringly.

Mia smiled broadly. Ken approached them. Beside her was Maisa who also smiled faintly. Erik still doesn't seem to accept it. Ken doesn't seem to care much. Ken patted his shoulder.

"Congratulations, Mi," said Maisa.

Mia hugged Maisa's arm. His face looks bright. It's not in vain that he forced his cousin to teach him how to play basketball. Getting a notice from a loved one is something.

Kio stared intently at Maisa, but no longer saw him full of hatred. Maisa replied with a smile. Ken glared at Kio, not accepting. Erik was upset with both of them. As if there were lights on his head, he intended to harm them.

"Hey Kio. You've dated her, haven't you?" Erik grinned, his hand pointing towards Maisa.

"What?" Ken was hooked by Erik's words.

"You're looking for trouble, yeah. I'm not the troublemaker's girlfriend," argued Kio upset.

Mia heard it. What kind of news is this. There's no way her idol is dating Maisa. He saw the two men fighting. Erik chuckled softly.

"Maisa, look out!" mum Mia is upset.

Maisa moved both of her hands, shaking her head affirming that it was not true.
