Aixela's Pov:

As I poured the yogurt into the tumbler, I remembered what Anton said last night. "I hate girls." I stopped transferring the yogurt to the container and thought about what Denise had said before. "Maybe he's gay."

"Ahhh, erase erase erase! How can he be gay? It's very impossible," I said to myself.

I was about to cover the tumbler when I remembered again what Denise had said. "There are so many gays pretending to be masculine."

"Why are you stunned?" I was surprised when he suddenly came out of his room and spoke.

"H-huh? Ahh, nothing," I answered. "Here, this is the yogurt you were asking for."

He took it from me.

"Wouldn't you even say thank you?" I asked.

He just showed me his tumbler and nodded slightly as if he's thanking me that way.

Wow! Is it so hard to say "thank you"?

I was about to leave when he walked backward back to me.

"Why do you have two?" He asked.

I looked at the tumbler that he was referring to. "So?"

He frowned. "Why do you have more than I have?"

"Huh?"

He was about to take the tumbler but I immediately hid it behind me.

"I bought the ingredients so I should have more."

"I made these, so you have no right to take it. You're so childish!" I said annoyed.

"What about you? Greedy!"

I laughed at what he said. "For your information, I'm going to give the other one to somebody. Aish! Whatever!"

After we teased each other, we headed to the precinct. Officer Yzerman greeted me immediately when he saw me.

"Hey, Xela! How are you?" She asked and then whispered, "How's our plan going?"

I laughed a little and gave her a thumbs up.

"What are those?" She asked when she saw the two tumblers. I handed her one so she was surprised. "Is it for me?"

I nodded and wrote on the paper. [Officer Dy liked this yogurt. It's nice if you learn how to make it. Maybe you'll get to attract him.]

"Really?" She asked and tasted the yogurt. "It's delicious! You're great Xela!"

I just smiled at what she said, but suddenly I remembered what Officer Dy said last night so my smile disappeared immediately.

"Why? What's the matter?" Officer Yzerman asked when she noticed me. "Is there something bothering you?"

I just shook my head, but she continued to ask.

"Go ahead, tell me. What are you thinking?"

I first looked into her curious eyes before writing on the paper. [I'm worried about what Officer Dy said to me last night.]

Her eyes lit up even more when she read what I wrote.

"Why? What did he say?" She curiously asked.

[First, he asked if you planned with me in bringing you two closer.] I showed the letter to her.

"Then? What did you answer?"

[I refused. But he said I shouldn't try. Because]... I looked at her before continuing what I was writing. [He said, he hates girls.]

She just looked at me and didn't seem surprised.

"Obviously he doesn't like women," She said.

I wrote again on paper. [Didn't it ever cross your mind that he might be gay?]

When she read the letter he immediately suppressed her laugh.

"Really? You think he's gay?"

I immediately put my index finger in her mouth to silence her. I immediately removed it and apologized using gestures.

[I just thought, what's the reason why he's mad at women? Isn't it because he's jealous? Because he wants to be a woman?] I showed her my letter.

"You know, you have a point. I just didn't think of that because I'm in love with him. But what do we know, maybe he's really gay," She joked.

[Do you want me to check on him? Let's see if he's really gay?]

"All right, I agree," She replied.

"What are you talking about?"

We immediately seated properly when Detective Ishigami spoke from behind us with Detective Santelices.

"Nothing, why?" Officer Yzerman replied.

"Nothing either. I just want to remind you that it's work time, so don't gossip first," Detective Ishigami replied.

Officer Yzerman secretly rolled her eyes at him before saying goodbye to me.

"All right, Xela! We'll talk again later," She said which I nodded. The two detectives examined me closely before finally leaving.

A few hours also passed before I saw Officer Dy again. He looks very busy. I immediately looked away from him when he looked at me. I felt him approaching so I faced him as well.

"Why aren't you eating yet?" He asked. I was surprised by what he asked. "You're not a VIP for us to prepare what you can eat," He said and left.

Look at that man. Really rude! Did I tell him to care for me?

I looked at my phone and was surprised to see that it was already three o'clock. I was so entertained by the people in and out of the precinct and I didn't even notice the time.

I look back at Officer Dy, who was also looking at me at the time. "What?" He asked as if asking what else I was doing.

I just stood up and obeyed him. We ate together in their cafeteria. I noticed that Officer Yzerman's neck was almost severed looking at us.

"Can you just eat there faster than looking at where you've been looking?" He said.

Meddler! Who told you to eat with me?

I picked up my paper and showed the letter to him. [Why don't you eat with the other officers?]

"You might starve to death if I don't eat with you," He sneered. I just stared at him.

I noticed that his finger was slightly tilted while holding the spoon and fork. It's not just that. He even wiped a tissue after eating. Hmmm... Smells fishy!
