Young Masters

Wishpers

The hot steam swirling from the lips of the glass along with its decreasing heat. Blend like camouflage with thick cigarette smoke and smell pungent. The billowing besieged the dim glowing classical room.

The man sat quietly, smoking his cigarette smoke with an ordinary face that he very rarely showed. There was no anger, no mistress, just an ordinary face that was completely ordinary, expressionless.

This is the first time, even being able to sit together without drama like this is the first time Yuhi feels when she is with Kris.

But the girl had already lost her desire to just feel happy. He may have been indifferent to whatever Kris would have done to him.

Choosing silence, that was what he would do until the old man finished his second cup of tea.

Kris's dark iris turned, from staring at Yuhi to now staring out her door. Just like the nights before, it was raining tonight. There was no lightning, no wind, only the rain was very heavy and seemed peaceful.

"Seeing you can be this calm in front of me amazes me a little, is it because you know I no longer have the right to touch you?" Although the question sounded like innuendo but Kris did not look at it that way, the man was just curious.

"I just lost the desire to stay alive." Lirih Yuhi's.

She is too tired, happiness never takes her side, and Yuhi just wants to give up.

Kris laughed lightly, and put his cigarette on the ashtray.

"You're really falling for her, aren't you?? How ironic."

Yuhi was silent again, looking down lethargic at her thin fingers that paled from the cold.

"Tell me if you want a divorce. I'll break that contract."

That's not a good choice either. Divorcing and returning to be the daughter of the Naka family feels a lot worse. Yes, even though Kris has been kind to him for 3 days, but that does not guarantee that his attitude will remain so in the future. The man's emotions are like a roller coaster. Up and down without guessing.

"But, I'll let you rest in the room."

And Kris nodded with her hands looking up as if letting Yuhi go.

The house looked even quieter than the last time Yuhi lived here. There are not many maids left here. Even the back garden also looked unkempt.

Yuhi deliberately slowed her steps when passing through one of the rooms that had long been padlocked. It was the only room that had pink doors among the other rooms that had dark brown doors. The door color is faded and dirty. The hinges are almost damaged even the padlock is rusted.

That room, Yuhi did not remember what the room was. The place had been locked since she was a child, and every time she asked the maid, no one knew what was inside and why Kris locked the room.

'Yeah...'

Yuhi choked, though,

'that voice.... is it real?' Yuhi turned her head back and turned her body back to face the door.

'Yeah....'

"Mommy..? " Murm Yuhi.

...*******...

"Little murderous girl, get her out of me."

"But she's your daughter..."

"REMOVE HIM..."

"How dare you give birth to a daughter.

Burn this woman and prepare a whip for me. That damn kid has to accept his punishment."

"Mommy !! Mami !!!"

Yuhi. The nightmare is coming again.

He was about to wake up but something was holding his body and making him feel heavy. Yuhi's breathing was hunting, realizing that someone else was sleeping in her bed and hugging her from behind.

Yuhi moves, trying to rebel to get up. The girl exerted her remaining strength to sit down and dodge.

"C-Chenle..." Mumbled. Yuhi breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that it was Chenle, neither a stranger nor a ghost who called her name last night.

"You're having another nightmare...??" Ask the man in a loud voice.

"How did you get here..??"

"Through the door."

Okey. The stupid answer is realistic. But that's not what Yuhi meant.

"Chenle..."

"Sst. We discuss that tomorrow yes, it is still at 3 am. You better get some more sleep."

Chenle pulled Yuhi's body to lie down again, the man clutched her possessively and hid Yuhi's face on his warm chest.

Chenle's regular heartbeat also transmitted calmness to Yuhi. This comfort was once she missed and she yearned for it.

Yuhi will rest her mind for a moment, forgetting about her anger, her disappointment, ignoring Ryujin and Chenle's feelings for her.

Yuhi will be selfish for the next few hours and enjoy Chenle's comfortable embrace just for herself.

Seriate....
