chapter 9

"Olympia?" asked Sebastian instead of Jay and Daniel.

"Aha yup, why? You know it exists?" Valora is curious. "It's their place brother" Joshua said sarcastically. Valora suddenly becomes more aware with the news he gets. "You are from Olympia?" he asked.

Daniel nodded, "Yes we are, I bring my brother here for a vacation".

"Do you ever know what happened to that place after you guys left?" Valora asks again. Jay shakes his head knowing that they have no communication and connection to that place after they start the journey.

"Actually, Justin told me that something bad has happened there, that's why he wants to go there and see what he can do. But until now, there's been no news from him and its has already been 2 weeks since he's gone." Everyone is silent. They tried to think what was happening when that Justin guy went without any explanation and no news right after that.

"I've heard of people who came back alive after a tragic death .. and it's not just one case but in two to three in this week only" Jay suddenly confessed. This makes all of them become more confused. "And hyung, isn't it same with what I told you back then?"

Daniel once again confused, "What kind of story?"

"I.. saw Han. I mean I saw him in front of the school but he doesn't remember me. That time, he was just a new student there." said Jay. "You told us that? In the club? I don't think I remember that". Rather than being confused, Daniel looks like about to have a panic attack. "Calm down, kid. It's an old story. He must have forgotten it already. It's okay, for now you guys go out and have a nice day. You said you are having a vacation right?" Sebastian said while leaving the place.

"Are you okay, hyung? I'm sorry I shouldn't have mentioned it like you said yesterday." Daniel just smiled, "No, it's okay. I'm okay. I think it just triggered me for some reason. Now, let's just go out, let's ease our mind."

.....

"Are you sure to go there?" asked Jay while pointing towards a tall building that looks like a private one.

"Of course, Sebastian said that the place accepts visitors. It's been a long time since we went to a museum. Last time, we went to a teddy bear museum just because Kai loves it and it's already 3 years ago. So.. why not?" Daniel laughs when he remembers the story where Kai forces all of them to a museum but what they didn't expect is that it is a teddy bear museum.

.....

Thankfully, Daniel knows what Jay likes. It is an animal museum which makes Jay more excited.

Daniel saw a beautiful kind of a fish and it amazed him. Well, it's weird when he feels happy just seeing the fish. It's not like there's no fish at Olympia but this one is really.. pretty. Why does the pretty one need to be here instead of a big ocean there? More questions are wandering in his mind while he looks at the fish. It's colorful, not too big and not too small.

Suddenly, he was being pulled by Jay. "Hyung, look here!" Daniel followed him to see the same kind of fish but this time it is a big fish. "Don't you think a small one looks pretty yet the big one looks too pitiful to be here. It's like we are seeing another kind of fish. It makes me feel sad" Jay explained.

When he looks at the fish, he can see the eyes. The eyes feel alone and longing, it's more like he has been separated from its child. "Maybe because its facial features make it look sad. Let's just continue our tour, okay?".

"That's why I told you to control your facial expression or else people will judge you as you think about the fish." Daniel said while leaving the museum. "It's not that I don't want but I can't. I can't control it and if I show you what I'm thinking, you must think that I'm weird. You know that I have too many concerns and questions that can give me a headache." Daniel stopped, seeing the action, Jay was about to apologize when he grip Jay's neck playfully. "Oh, now you look like different people you know. You become more talkative and bold. Even though you were already bold before, you are okay now. I believe you change for good, but for being stubborn with me is really.. ughh." Both of them laugh.

Suddenly,

"Ahhh, a phone call from Steven?"

He answered, "Hey Daniel, you must come back here!".
