“You don't sleep anymore Chal?”

Clara now glanced at the weak Tiffany and looked back at her phone lazily. It's the third day he's been hospitalized, and his life is so boring. He was not even allowed to walk in the hospital. Come on, he just hurt his neck a little, not paralyzed.

“Can I go home?”

Clara looked at Tiffany with a pleading gaze, for some reason Tiffany always accompanied her in the hospital. In fact he had never seen Tiffany away from her for more than two hours. Does Tiffany not work? That's what he always asked, but he said Mr. Arthur allowed him to leave. And he knew it was Jack's orders.

“You can't go anywhere before you recover completely.”

“Total healed? Come on, Tiff, even the wounds have started to disappear. Should I stay here until my neck disappears?”

“You know that Chal is not the one who gave the order here.”

Clara simply took a deep breath and threw it away in great annoyance. Tiffany was right, she was here just to accompany him, and surely he didn't want to get involved with any big trouble if he allowed her to come out.

“What is Jack okay?”

Tiffany who had focused on peeling the apple was now staring at Clara, Clara looked sad and moody. How not, it could be that his lover did not meet him after he realized, and this is almost before the fourth day. No matter how busy Jack is, he should have taken a little time to figure out Clara's condition. Especially because of that guy Clara became like this.

“Jack hugged you all night on the day of the incident, maybe the guy was just busy." Tiffany tried to calm her friend. Tiffany can see clearly Clara who still cares so much about Jack, especially when the man brings another girl at his office event.

“Forget Jack for a while Chal! Now the most important thing is your health.”

Tiffany encouraged him. Tiffany still doesn't know why Jack suddenly attacked Dean in their office. And he hasn't asked Clara. Tiffany understood, surely Clara would tell him everything at the right time. Clara just needs a little time.

“I miss my Mom Tiff. Is my mom okay? He must be very worried about me.”

Tiffany looked at Clara dejectedly, she could only take a deep breath and throw it away slowly. Indeed, almost every night Clara called her mother, but she understood very well that it would not be enough to treat her longing. After all, Clara only had her mother now.

“Aren't you able to sleep lately because you remember your mother?”

Clara looked at Tiffany with a sad look. He misses his mother very much, however he is very afraid if his mother returns depressed. Almost every night his mother asks him how he is, he lies to his mother that he is on vacation with Jack abroad. But his premonition, his mother knew if he was lying, Jack could not take him anywhere without his mother's permission, especially he did not pack anything at home.

“I do have insomnia when under stress, I always take sleeping pills. But the doctor forbid it here.”

“Reduce over thinkingmu Chal, eat this fruit first.”

Tiffany now offers a bowl containing apples that have been cut into cubes. Clara now devoured the fruit slowly, Tiffany looked at Clara concerned. To be honest, he was also quite guilty of Clara. As a good friend, he could not help Clara under any circumstances, while Clara helped him so much. Actually what Jack said a few days ago is the truth, he doesn't know anything about Clara, he's stupid.

“Is Dean okay Tiff?” Clara asked quietly, Tiffany knew there was fear in the question.

“Yeah, fine. Just a bruise all over his face.”

“Tiff, I'm serious!”

“Do you think Dean will be fine after what Jack did to him?”

Clara looked at Tiffany with a guilty look, though she knew it was not directed at her. But Tiffany understood, indirectly Clara must also blame herself.

“You know Chal, Jack is dangerous. He's a very dangerous man.”

“Do I have to see Dean?”

“Do you want Dean to feel Jack's punch a second time?”

Cklek!

Tiffany and Clara, who were arguing, were shocked when the door opened. Clara looked at someone in front of the door nervously. After three days the man did not reveal his nose, and now here he is. Jack Hilton's. The man who made Dean lie in the hospital.

“I'm hungry Chal, I'll find food outside.”

Tiffany said and exited the room, she just wanted to give space between Clara and Jack. Tiffany knew this was what Clara had hoped for, Jack coming to see her.

After Tiffany left the room, Clara looked the other way, trying not to look at Jack. While the man looked at Clara with a guilty look, however Clara could be this determined also because of the action. And he didn't close his eyes to it.

“You okay?”

Ask Jack gently. Clara was still unmoved, she was still looking the other way. Jack took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He began to move closer to Clara. He had so much to take care of lately that he did not have time to visit Clara.

“Sorry, about Dean.”

Hearing Jack's heartfelt words, Clara looked at the man. He could see Jack looking at him quite deeply. Did something happen? Jack doesn't usually behave like this.

“Your apologies should not be for me, but for Dean.”

"There are some things you should know about Chal."

This time Jack's words seemed to really make Clara look at him. Jack looked so agitated, and it left Clara confused. He is not the usual Jack.

“I'll propose Mary.”

A three-word speech from Jack is now able to make Clara momentarily silent. Did he not hear wrong? After what Jack did to Dean and it's because of him. And could he say he's going to propose to another girl? Then why would he hurt Dean?

Clara could not answer. After six years of their relationship journey and like this is the end? No, it's not certain Jack has another reason. But two? After he's survived this far? Clara's chest felt so tight.

“You just need to be quiet and don't do anything Clara.”

“I have to be quiet when you're going to marry Mary?”

Clara smiled wryly. From the beginning, he was too forced to have a relationship with Jack. A respected person will remain in a pair with a respected person, and he cannot refuse that. Despite how long he had the relationship, and how hard he maintained it, he still could not resist.

“What I can do, right?”

Clara looked the other way and squeezed her chest hard. Damnit damnit! It's so crowded in there.

“I'm sorry Chal, I'm sorry.” Said Jack slowly.

‘I hope everything goes quickly Chal, and please keep waiting for me.'
