"...." - ".Leon was still agape, he didn't expect that the woman he liked had said it didn't matter if he had a relationship that was more than just a partner. Leon's heart was also beating faster, he started to hope for something he had always dreamed of.
"Why silence? Do you think I'm a nobody? I'm not the important one? So you want to just forget what happened between us last night?" ask Chelsea again.
"No, that's not what I meant. During this time our relationship as partners is good. But ... we've crossed the line, if there's a feeling between us. I didn't mean it like you said, I just didn't want our relationship to be bad. If .... we step into a more serious relationship, what if someday the feelings between us change? We will automatically hate each other, blame each other, we can't go back to this comfort zone. I'm just afraid you'll be away from me" Leon replied with seriousness.
"...." - ".Chelsea was stunned, everything Leon said was true. If only they had started a relationship, and if at any point there was no guarantee it would last forever, then, then of course when that happens they will not be able to continue together and support each other like this.
Chelsea took a deep breath, slowly releasing the grip of her hand from Leon's collar. Then with a faint smile on her lips, she said, "Leon. Maybe I'll regret it if I never say it. I like you ...."
"...." - ".Leon was silent, he did not know what to say to respond to this sudden statement of feeling. And he never thought, if it turns out his feelings were reciprocated.
"...." - ".On the one hand Chelsea was also silent, he continued to wait for Leon's response to his confession. For him this was the first time, his heart was pounding rapidly, hoping that if this man in front of him would not destroy his feelings.
Silence, there was no sound other than the heart pounding. After waiting for a while, Leon was still silent. Chelsea, who realise that, no longer expect much. Slowly he retreated and turned to his back to Leon.
"Haha, okay. I understand why you were silent, you must have been shocked by my words just now. Well, then, we'll do as you plan. Let's assume last night never happened" said Chelsea with a bitter smile. He also clenched his hands in front of his chest which somehow felt pain and tightness.
"Wait!" exclaimed Leon who suddenly held a Chelsea hand.
"What?" chelsea asked without turning around and looking at Leon.
"...." - ".Again Leon made no sound, and suddenly he stood up. Slowly stepped closer towards Chelsea, and without any warning he hugged her from behind. "I like you too" he said gently.
"Leon .." murmured Chelsea who instantly made the arousing feeling in her heart change. The tightness in his chest disappeared just like that when he heard the soft voice that entered his ears.
Suddenly Chelsea turned around, then looked into Leon's eyes. "Please, repeat again!" her door wanted to make sure once again if she didn't hear wrong.
"I like you, Mayra. I like you not only because of last night. But before that happened, I already had feelings for you. Long ago long before last night, I had harbored feelings for you. Everything you've done, everything that's happened all this time, I love everything that's been on you, no exception." Leon smiled, he also felt relieved because he had now expressed all his heart.
Chelsea also smiled, her feelings retorted. And without further ado, he suddenly grabbed Leon by the neck and quickly gave a kiss on his lips. As for Leon, his eyes widened in shock with a surprise attack like this.
However, the kiss did not last long. After taking off the kiss unilaterally, Chelsea grimaced. "I thought I was the only one with a one-sided feeling, thanks for returning my feelings!"
Leon smiled happily, he was very happy because the wall that had been a barrier for him had collapsed. Now he can express his joy openly. He could no longer bear to immediately reply and kiss the woman.
"Uhmm ...?!" Chelsea gasped, he did not expect that Leon would counterattack so quickly. However, despite being surprised at the end he responded to the kiss. The two of them closed their eyes and hugged each other tightly. And the longer the kiss went deeper, like their own feelings were so deep.

What a day Chelsea will never forget. During the 25 days he served in the city of S, and during that time there were many things that happened that he made as a lesson. Starting from seeing the cruelty of a tyrant ruler, seeing the lives of the inhabitants are sad and unfair, until the events of a hot night that led to his feelings of love anchored.
After a morning filled with romance and revealing each other's pent-up feelings, Chelsea and Leon rush to return to their hometowns as their task is over. They did not go home together, but they went home in their own cars. This all happened because of Leon who intends to avoid Chelsea. And who would have thought, the two of them were far apart when they had just arrived in the city of S, then now they were in a romance when they left the city.
About three hours had passed, after being tired of driving a car for that long, Chelsea immediately lay down on her bed.
"Hah .. finally reached home too," he said which seemed so comfortable. A moment later he was pensive, while staring at the white ceiling of the room.
"A lot has happened. And all this time there were also many difficulties that I experienced. My goal remains unchanged, I must find Luciel and take revenge for Liam's death."
"Will but .. something I never imagined happened, I could have a love affair with Leon. But ... I'm also afraid, how will Leon behave if he knows that all this time I lied to him. And the biggest problem is Leon's nature of being so obedient to the organization, if he knew that my goal was to destroy this organization, would he be against me?"
"Leon once told me that he's been with me for almost 7 years. While the death of Liam's brother was past 10 years. If based on the timeline, Leon could be said to be free from my suspicions. Leon couldn't have been involved in Liam's death, so on the bright side I don't need to target Leon."
"Both Liam or Leon, both have important positions in my heart. If my revenge has been achieved someday, hopefully by then Leon will understand me. What a pity that my first love will run aground because of my own revenge."
***
On the other hand, Leon had also arrived at his own home. He could not wait to see his beloved sister. With a carefree feeling he opened the door of his house.
THE HORN!
"Liana, brother's home!!" leon shouted, and then the smile on his face disappeared. She saw her sister at home with her boyfriend.
"Sister Leon?!" Liana was surprised, before she had been told that Leon would be coming home today. However, because Leon's return hour was a little late, Liana thought her brother would come home the next day.
"Son Leon don't misunderstand me! Ian and I don't act like shit! We're just playing! I invited him to come home! I want friends to play PS games together!" obviously Liana was drunk. He knows very well how his brother is. He was afraid that Leon's anger would explode and beat Ian to formlessness.
Leon sighed, then smiled faintly and patted his sister's head. "Yes, you guys just play. But remember, dating has its limits too! Don't do anything weird! And remember that you're still students, so don't keep going until you forget to learn!"
Suddenly Leon put some paper bags on the table. "This is a gift I brought from out of town. Please enjoy."
Leon immediately walked past Liana and headed towards the stairs. "Liana, sister is out of a long journey, so want to rest. If you need anything, ask your girlfriend for help!"
"Sister Leon is strange .." said Liana who then turned to check what Leon brought as souvenirs.
"Is that really your sister?" ian asked doubtfully. He hesitated because he had always been treated cynically by Leon, only this first time he felt that Leon was friendly to him.
"Yes, of course he's my brother. Maybe he was happy, so he just let us be alone. But never mind, even though my brother is possessed by ghosts, that must be a good thing! Let's continue playing the game!"

Days change, as usual after completing the task then the members of Division 2 will immediately receive a new task. As scheduled, Chelsea and Leon must come to the Assassins' Store to accept their new assignment.
However, before heading there, Chelsea took the initiative to go to Leon's house first. He did not come to visit with his bare hands either, he brought his own homemade cookies to give to his new lover as well as his sister.
TOK TOK!
"Excuse me!" chelsea said, knocking on the door.
"Yes, one minute!" Soon the door was opened and Liana was wearing a school uniform.
"Sir Mayra!" liana exclaimed with a beaming smile, she also grabbed Chelsea by the hand and dragged her into the house. However, he did not invite Chelsea to the living room, but immediately invited him to sit at the dining table.
"Well, it's been a long time since I talked to Sister Mayra! I wish I had told you so many things with my sister!" liana said enthusiastically, he really likes to talk to Chelsea and hopes if Chelsea becomes his sister-in-law.
"Haha, okay ... But before you tell me, please accept this first." Chelsea then put a paper bag containing several jars of cookies on the dining table.
"Hm? Why bother bringing this?" asked Liana who then peeked at the contents of the paper bag.
"No hassle, those are just some snacks I made for you and your brother. Emm .. By the way where is your brother?" ask Chelsea with both cheeks blushing.
"Sister is still getting ready in the room. But the tumben Kak Mayra is looking for Leon's brother. Is Sister Mayra more interested in meeting him than I am? Don't-don't .. Is there something between you?" liana asked with curious eyes like a gossip.
"Y-yeah .. You're right, we're dating," Chelsea replied with her innocent smile.
"W-WHAT'S UP?!" Liana was startled, even her screams could be heard by Leon who was currently in the room.
"What's wrong?! Why are you yelling?!" asked Leon who suddenly appeared, he also looked messy because he immediately ran as soon as he heard the voice of his sister's screams.
"Eh, Mayra? Since when are you here?" ask Leon who is a little confused. He also immediately buttoned his unfinished shirt button.
"Just now" replied Chelsea with a blushing face.
Liana, who still did not believe what she had just heard, ran over to Leon to ask for more clarity. "Sister Leon, are you dating Sister Mayra?!"
"D-where did you know?" asked Leon who immediately blushed in embarrassment.
"Sir Mayra told me himself! So that's true! God, I didn't expect this to happen!" liana replied while pointing towards Chelsea.
"You told Liana?" ask Leon to Chelsea.
"Yes, emm .. is that a problem? Liana's your sister, so what's wrong with her knowing?" chelsea asked without guilt.
"Ck, you're this." Leon felt a little upset, he then approached Chelsea and touched both his shoulders. "Just Mayra, I beg you after this don't tell anyone about our relationship!" pinta Leon with a serious look.
"But why? Why do you want to be in a relationship secretly? Are you ashamed to have me as your girlfriend?" chelsea asked as if they did not accept.
"No, it's not. I'm not ashamed at all. It's just .. This kind of relationship between us is dangerous if it is known to others. I'll tell you clearly, I have a lot of enemies, I don't want them threatening me through you. Or even take revenge on me through you too. The point is, I don't want you to get hurt."
"But Leon, I can take care of myself!" refute Chelsea who insist.
"I beg you to understand, I don't want you to be my weakness. It's enough with Liana, I've gotten rid of a lot of people who tried to hurt her. He was targeted by someone else because of me, so I don't want you to be either. I don't want you in danger of having a relationship with me.." explains Leon again, hoping that his girlfriend will understand what his good purpose is.
"...." - ".Chelsea just nodded. Although not happy if you have to live the relationship in secret, but he realized that Leon's words have a point. Chelsea do not want to be a woman who will be a weakness, she wants to always accompany and be a strength for him.
"Good, thank you for your understanding" Leon said with a gentle smile.
***
After being at Leon's house long enough to visit, as well as giving Liana clarity about her relationship. Now Chelsea has finally arrived at the Killer Shop, and he meets Dika as the Head of Division 2 as usual.
"..." - ".Chelsea were nervous, she kept looking forward and curious as to what her new assignment would look like.
Dika who served as Head of Division 2 seemed to hold a note paper. Then he said, "Hemm ... Mayra, your next task is to go to Division 3! Cyber Division!"
