Chapter 25: If the heart could talk

"Yumi!" Jae shouted calling him.

Yumi didn't stop walking not even looking to Jae's direction.

Jae continue to follow him until they don't know where they are, Jae looks around as he sees tall trees surrounded by them. The sands still not change but he knows they were not near at Ethan's rest house anymore. Jae wears a white t-shirt and a short yet he still felt the cold breeze from the night. "Hey, Yumi. Can we talk? It's so cold out here" Jae said.

Then suddenly a big abandoned house appeared to them.

Yumi stop and sigh.

He look to Jae's direction this time and reach his hand. Jae's hands are cold. Yumi hold it tightly and drag him inside the abandoned house. "What are you doing! This is abandoned house!!" Jae shake Yumi's grip "We don't know if it's curse?!".

Yumi look around and for some reason there is a firer place in the first floor. He drag Jae there and find something to light the fireplace. "Wait are you going to leave me here?!" Jae asked. Yumi closed the first floor door then smirk to Jae "why not?" Yumi said then climb up to the second floor.

Jae was so scared he hurried and follow Yumi. At the second floor there are 4 rooms, so they both agreed that they should check two rooms if there were some match or anything that is useful. After Jae looking up to the first and second door he hurriedly search for Yumi. Yumi was standing at the balcony of the fourth room, he was holding a match but he was looking at the view from the second floor.

Jae went towards him and saw how beautiful the beach looks like reflecting the sky full of stars. Then suddenly he noticed there were a cracked from 'the balcony's floor, he panicked and tap Yumi's shoulder "this floor is not going to hold time! We need to go-" Jae suddenly step to a beer laying at the balcony, he tried his best to regain balance but when he lay his back, he thought there were a wall but there is nothing. Jae suddenly fall down from the balcony but lucky he falls down from the pool.

"No! Jae!"

Jae heard Yumi shouting from the Balcony.

The impact from the pool was not sever but Jae's head hit the pool's floor. Then he felt someone pull him out of the water, then he open his eyes, Yumi was already holding his waist tightly as Yumi try to get out from the pool. All Jae can hear are Yumi's sobs, Yumi won't let go from Jae, he hugged him tightly sobbing. "Idiot, I am really going to die if you won't let me go.. I can't breathe" Jae tap Yumi's shoulder. Yumi loosen his hug then look to Jae's forehead's right side. "It's bleeding.. Jae" Yumi said in a panic.

Jae touch were he feels the pain in his head "No, it's just a scratch no need to stich it.". Yumi carried Jae from his back and they went back inside the house, he lay him down gently and hurriedly fire up the fireplace to make Jae warm. "Stay here, I will just find some towel here" Yumi said giving his t-shirt to stop the blood from Jae. Jae tug Yumi's short. "let me go with you… its creepy here" Jae said.

Yumi is against to Jae but he can't help it looking to Jae's cute expression.

"Piggy back ride again" Yumi said.

Yumi look to every closet and saw a 4 towels at the drawer. It is not smells the best but this is the cleanliest towel he can see.

"It smells 30 years old sitting there" Jae said.

"Don't worry, were are not going to put this on your wound, were going to use it as a blanket." Yumi said.

They went back from the first floor then suddenly Yumi undress his short. "What the heck are you doing!" Jae suddenly shout pressing his wound with Yumi's t-shirt. "You know the body-heat-thingy?" Yumi said while he lay his short at the chair near at the fire place too. "you know the body head of a person is much faster than anything? You should undress too, ill… lay it here also so tomorrow they will be dry" Yumi suggested. Jae can't argue and undress any clothes in his body then put the towel on, Yumi went beside him and share the towels with him. Jae's face went red with their position.

Jae was sitting on Yumi's lap face-to-face not wearing anything but the towel covered by them.

"Well, I didn't say we need to do this position.. But.." Yumi said then suddenly hold Jae's closer "But I like this" Yumi said resting his head to Jae's chest.

Jae put his arms around Yumi's shoulder "So, about what happen earlier" Jae started the conversation.

"yeah, I was scared that I will lose you from the pool again, I can't imagine you drowning because of me" Yumi said. Jae tilt his head since he was talking about the truth or dare earlier not the pool incident, but Yumi says a world that makes him curious.

"Again? Honestly… did we met before? Because I have never seen a handsome-" Jae suddenly stop then got embarrassed to what he was saying.

"H-handsome and annoyingly cute at the same way" Jae finished.

Yumi chuckles "But you already got my nickname and you saw me before as a cute-Chubby-Girl" Yumi said.

Jae suddenly widen his eyes.. "Yun-Yun! The cute chubby girl!" Jae suddenly remember. "But.. Your" Jae said.

"I was actually the youngest in the Family and my parents really want a baby girl, I am a boy but they buy me cute dress and even made my hair long that time" Yumi said.

"Then you saw me eating chocolates alone in the playground… and then our story goes on" Yumi said.

Jae can't believe it. "you know.. I thought you were a girl back then and even proposed you a marriage. That is how I really like you before" Jae laugh.

They went silent then Yumi suddenly asked "Is your proposal still not expired?" Yumi suddenly asked.

Their mouth left shut but their heart beat speaks louder as if they are the only one can talk. It was as if they are telling to each other what they really feel, letting Jae and Yumi stays silent.

"I may not be chubby now but I still want you, Jae" Yumi said.

Jae suddenly remember they are not wearing anything and their skin were touching, Yun-Yun has change a lot. His chubby body doesn't exist anymore he have abs now with a handsome and attractive face. Jae thinks that Yumi still Yun-Yun but he needs to know more about him, what happen to him when Yumi's family suddenly change address when they were young, Jae suddenly felt the urge of knowing the time they were not with each other.

"Let's put it on hold, I want to know more about Yumi, since I already know Yun-Yun" Jae said. Yumi can't help but to chuckle happily. "Then let's date Jae" Yumi said.

"Yeah, lets date" Jae playfully whisper to Yumi's ear while his arms still wrap around to Yumi's shoulder.

Jae suddenly felt something hard, then Yumi lay him down while their towel still wrap round them.

"i-I said lets date.. This is so fast" Jae said and turn around looking at the fireplace.

"I know… lets.. Sleep and forget what you feel before" Yumi suddenly felt embarrassed.

At the morning.

Ethan, Amber, Elaine and Sebastian went looking for Jae and Yumi.

Then suddenly went to the abandoned house since that is what Ethan knew as the best place to rest if they are out missing.

Sebastian stay outside to look if they were there, Ethan, Amber and Elaine look inside.

Ethan open the door and saw both of them with the fireplace on.

They saw both of them sitting, folding the towels.

Ethan tilt his head as he saw Jae wearing Yumi's t-shirt and Yumi is wearing Jae's shirt.

"The rescue is here, we saved the day.. But I think you both swap your t-shirt or something" Ethan said made Jae and Yumi jump from the jump scare.

Amber look at them as if she was confirming something, then smirk to both of them.

"What?" Jae suddenly being defensive making his both ears becomes red.

"Oh dear, I didn't say anything" Amber said with a smirk.
