Chapter 7

"It's dark, I won't let you go alone. Why there isn't a light here?" he said with a frown, he didn't wait for me to speak and he immediately went down.

I watched where he was going, didn't even take the umbrella he had handed me in my hand.

"What with this grassy looking man?"

He went to a small grocery store.

Soon after, he came out, empty -handed.

What did he do?

He got in the car and started the engine again.

"Hey where are we going again?" I asked.

"I'll just park it in front of the grocery store." he said and started parking his car in front of that store.

He took the umbrella from me and got off first, then opened the car door for me.

"Oh, don't tell me you're still coming with me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

What now? I thought I could breathe easy because he's going to leave me alone!

"Do you think I'll let you walk there alone? I didn't wait long and then whoever's there will just get you." he said rudely as he handed me an umbrella and started to walk.

"What are you saying there? Hey! Give me here's the umbrella!" I ran to catch up with him.

"Why do you walk so fast?" I whispered and gave him part of the umbrella.

He stopped walking so I also stopped. He looked at me seriously.

What is the problem with this man?

"Are you concern to me?" he was still serious when he said that.

I stumbled in shock. Not in his question, but in the thickness of his face.

Me? Concern? Ha?!

"Me? Concerned to you? Ha! Where did you get that confidence?" I said rudely, taking the umbrella to myself and walking ahead.

"Concerned HAHAHAHA! Hey wait for me!" he said laughing then chased me.

This one is really weird. His mood swings really go fast. He's crazy!

He take care of his life, I will not held my umbrella to him!

I hurried to walk and let him get wet in the rain.

When I arrived at my place, the downpour suddenly increased. I immediately opened the door of my apartment. I shook myself to get rid of the little wetness on my clothes and body. I was about to close the door, when I remembered that I am with grassy looking man filled his body with glutathione.

"Where is he?" I said softly.

I picked up the umbrella I had closed earlier.

"Hey?" I called him.

I rolled my eyes around but I didn't see even a shadow of him.

Where is that one? He was just behind me a while ago.

I picked up another umbrella by the side of my door and again greeted the heavy rain.

I'm not concerned, I just don't want him to get hurt. Of course, I might be able to do it again when something happens to him and I might be in trouble if his family found this out.

I don't want that to die, I still have a dream in life!

I hurried out the corner and saw him walking out in the distance.

"Hey!" I called loudly but he couldn't hear me because of the rain.

He hugged himself and slowly walked in the rain.

Is he crazy? Ah! I will be a dead meat if he will get hurt again.

I ran to catch up with him.

"What is with you? Why don't you stay in my apartment? Look, the rain is pouring heavily but then you start on your own and you still don't have an umbrella or a blanket on your head? What are you? Aren't you thinking? What if you get hurt? What if you get sick? It's would my fault!" I said, handing him an umbrella.

He looked at me and smiled, "Are you that concerned?" smiling but you can tell he was sad when he said that.

I was dumbfounded by him.

Why is he acting like this? I really don't understand him.

"Come on," I said awkwardly, trying to get rid of the questions running through it.

"You kicked me out earlier, I thought you didn't want me around," he said sadly, unmoved by his position.

I was just surprised when he suddenly hugged me.

In shock I let go of the umbrella I was holding.

"Don't you ever pushed me away, I can't handle it anymore." he said and hugged me even tighter.

After a while, he himself let go of the hug.

I looked up at him shyly and now he is laughing.

"Go back to your apartment, I gotta go." he whispered, picked up the two umbrellas I was holding earlier and then handed them to me again before turning around.

Wait, what's really going on?

"Come on, wait!" I held his hand.

I am confused by his action and words but I am more confused by the way I'm acting on.

"Hmm?" he turned to me.

"You'll spend in my apartment first, until the rain stops. I don't want you to be get sick because of me." I whispered, I couldn't wait for him to speak so immediately pulled his hand.

We stopped using the umbrella because we were already wet.

We just kept quiet until we got to where I was staying, I didn't let go of his hand either.

I'm confused about you, Maria! It's been a while since you've been so ruined by him yet you're still holding his hand! And one more thing, you even let him spend the rain in your house!

"Take a bath first, I'll find you something to wear." I said then he immediately obeyed, I also went to my messy luggage and looked for something for him to wear.

What can I give to this one? Anyway, my clothes are unisex and oversized.

I won't have a hard time finding one for him.

But what about his undergarments? Sheep! I do have a problem with that.

I took off my plain gray oversized shirt and my black polka dots cotton shorts that were up to my knees.

I go to the bath room door and knock.

"Hurry up there, it's a waste of water so don't get soaked. Here's what you're going to wear," I said then he opened the door a little and handed him the clothes.

I also looked for something to wear for myself and a few moments later he came out of the bath room.

I immediately wrapped my t-shirt and pajamas around my undergarments that I took out of the suitcase.

"Your passionate for polka, ah? Polka dots on your bra in the bath room, polka dots that you gave and polka undies that you're going to wear now. HAHAHAHA!" his laughter filled the house.

I'm like Flash who quickly ran to the bathroom because of shame.

My polka dots bra hanging on the hanger opened up to me.

Sheep! Why didn't I look at the here before I let him in?! Luckily, there are no lost panties here. But even that! sheep! My morality has been trampled on!

I could feel the heat on my cheek that you thought the water I was bathing in was hot. It's just the heat that makes me feel embarrassed so my whole face is probably red.

Why don't you take care, Maria!

I was in the middle of bathing, when I heard a knock on the door of the bath room.

I turned off the faucet before speaking, "What's that?"

"I'll cook what you have here, I'm already hungry. I didn't tell you to ask your permission, I thought I was just sharing. Ok, I'm done." he said laughing, he didn't wait for my answer and I heard his footsteps leaving.

That one, I really don't know why we became so close. Well, we're not close, it's just that I don't want him to get hurt so I didn't let him in the rain.

Why are you so concerned, Ria?

What? Me, concerned? No! I just don't want his family to blame me when something bad happens to him.

That's what you keep saying even though you're really concerned!

Hello, brain! Why are you still on vacation? I need to use you a lot.

"It's like I'm crazy here, talking to myself." I shook my head and whispered to myself before pouring cold water again so that I could get acquainted with what I was thinking.

I was already in the middle of dressing when I smelled something delicious that he was cooking. It smells so good here, looks delicious. I was suddenly hungry.

I hurried to get dressed and went out to eat, and did not notice the excitement and hunger I was feeling.

"What did you cooked?"

"Corn soup. I found corn in the box and corn soup powder in your container." he said as he turned his back on me and continued preparing at my small table.

"I also fried dried fish, it's my favorite, it's good you have it," he added.

"My father sent it, it's from the my province." I answered and helped him prepare the plate and glasses.

"I'm sorry if I fried the rice you left in the pot earlier." He said, transferring the fried rice he cooked.

"Let's eat, Wife." he added sincerely and brought the bench next to him, he was probably sitting there.

I didn't hesitate and sat down next to him, I was also hungry so I didn't act anymore and ignored him mentioning 'Wife', even though I wanted to beat him because of the way he called me.

It's like... it's like there's a part of me that wants that.
