“Chal are you sure you want to get out? Aren't you sick?”

Tiffany now runs after Clara. He was really not out of thought with the stubborn nature of his best friend. After Dean brought his license, he was clean and didn't want to go home. And now even invite him and Dean to dinner together.

“Tiff, do you know that I never have fun – happy with you? And now I want to do it.”

Tiffany was silent and still looked at Clara doubtfully. My eyes and the pale face of Clara made Tiffany so worried. But what he can do, he faces is Clara Villegas. His most stubborn friend.

“You guys wait here, I'll ask permission with Mr Tan okay?”

Tiffany just nodded her ass, while Dean just looked at Clara in confusion. Clara quickly ran to where Mr Tan's car was parked. It's been almost a week that Jack hasn't picked her up, and that's since he had a fight with Jack over Dean.

At first he was so frustrated because of the nature of Jack who seemed to no longer care for him, but now he tried to think positively. Maybe Jack was busy or still angry with him or did give him some privacy. But most importantly, he had to take advantage of all of this. He is so jealous of some of his friends like Tiffany and Dean who can go anywhere they want. After all, he also knew the limits, he was not a child.

“Mr Tan, you can go home first. I'll be home with Tiffany.”

Clara now pointed at Tiffany who was a few meters away from her. Clara could see Mr Tan who looked surprised and nervous because of his words whereas Clara just looked at the middle-aged man in a daze.

“Nona, but Young Master told me to drive you home.”

“Come on Mr. Tan, I've grown up. Sometimes Jack also allows me to go home with Tiffany.”

Clara now looked at Mr. Tan with a pleading face. Clara knew very well that Mr. Tan was very easily destroyed. Despite having a physical that is quite creepy because of being tall and muscular, Mr. Tan has a personal that is so soft.

“I'll ask with Young Master.” Clara now took a deep breath as Mr Tan took out his phone.

“Mr Tan, I've been waiting for Tiffany. See you tomorrow.”

“Nona, wait! Miss!”

Clara now starts running towards Tiffany and Dean. Clara quickly pulled Tiffany's hand, while Dean, still confused by the circumstances surrounding her, chose to run after the two girls. While from the corner of his eyes he could see the middle-aged man starting to chase after them.

“You crazy Chal? I held back urinating because of you!”

Clara now managed to catch her breath, while she could see Tiffany's annoyed look at her. Now that Tiffany's entire face was flushed red, the girl was not used to walking far, let alone running like this. Now they are at the bus stop 500 meters from the office. While Mr Tan seems to choose to return, maybe to bring his car. I don't know, Clara doesn't care.

“Let's go to that resto. I really am not strong anymore.”

“Chal, about this afternoon I-“

“Thanks.” Dean now stopped his steps, and stared at Clara intensely. He could see Clara looking at him with a warm smile.

“Thank you for caring for me Dean, thank you so much.”

Clara felt her eyes begin to heat up. For the first time in his life his relationship with Jack is known to others. For years he tried to cover it up, but people who only a few days he knew even much earlier knew this all. He thought the first person he knew about his relationship with Jack was Tiffany, but he was wrong.

“I beg you not to tell this to anyone, including Tiffany. I'll finish this all by myself.”

“By way?”

Clara looked at Dean who was looking at her in annoyance. Clara took a deep breath. He didn't even know what to answer Dean's question this time.

“You're too scared to finish it yourself Chal, you're too scared of Jack.”

Clara fell silent. Agree or disagree but all of Dean's statements are true. He was too afraid, too afraid of Jack's attitude, even too afraid of losing Jack. He admits that he is stupid, very stupid.

“Can't you seem to never know this all Dean? Act as usual and-“ Clara now flinched as Dean clasped her hands. The man even started to look at her deeply.

“I know it's not the right time, but I can't keep letting you get hurt by Jack, Chal. I can't.”

Dean is now speaking truthfully, when a few weeks ago even he could not sleep because he kept remembering the voice begging Clara on his phone. The voice begged Clara not to be hurt as soon as she opened her mind. Even to this day.

And he is aware of himself. He can't let Clara stay with Jack. He won't let Clara be blinded by Jack's obsession with her. Since Jack is only obsessed, he does not love Clara sincerely. If Jack loves Clara, she can't hurt Clara. Even to the point of giving bruises on his entire body.

Clara just stared at Dean. He no longer knows how to. This is actually the gap to get away from Jack. But he can't, he really can't. And Dean doesn't understand his position either. He was Jack Hilton, the man. Even Jack could kill someone with just his orders.

“I know this must sound silly Chal, but I love you Chal. I love you.”

Dean began to tighten his grip. Whether the courage came from nowhere, even he had only known Clara for a month and could talk as sassy as it was. He really doesn't care anymore.

Clara who heard it just looked at Dean in disbelief. Did he hear wrong or did Dean express feelings for him? Indeed, several times Tiffany also said Dean was interested in him, but he tried to brush it off. After all, Dean also knew that he had Jack by his side. Or is this Jack trying so hard to keep his distance from Dean?

“Guys did I bother you? But I've been waiting here for you five minutes. You guys okay?” Tiffany looked at them a few meters away. Clara quickly threw down Dean's grasp.

“We'll be there soon.” Clara now spoke and began to catch up with Tiffany, leaving Dean looking at her in disappointment.
