CHAPTER 82

　　Zenith's Point Of View

　　"I like you and I'm slowly falling for you ..."

　　When Vior said that, the surroundings stop at the same time. I heard nothing but what he said and repeated that several times in my brain. At the same time my heartbeat slowed down, it was not normal.

　　Suddenly I let go of him and walked away to make room for our bodies. Her face was too close earlier when she confessed her feelings.

　　After that the surroundings returned to normal. It was still full of music and people were dancing.

　　"Zenith, why?" I didn’t even look at Vior myself because of his question.

　　I don't know but I can't answer him even though it's just a simple question.

　　He stepped closer to me but I backed away so he was surprised.

　　"Did I say something wrong? Did I do something you didn't like?" he asked.

　　Just a few moments later, others also noticed my departure from Vior, they are all now watching us. What will I do?

　　"What's up?"

　　"Do they both have a problem?"

　　Tanda and Aling Gloria approached us with her son.

　　"Zenith, sister? Why? What's the matter?" Aling Gloria asked me while holding my shoulder.

　　"What happened, Iho?" I heard Tanda ask Vior.

　　I Can not understand myself. I feel something is not right.

　　"Uh-eh, nothing, Manong Pilot," I heard Vior reply and I could feel him staring at me.

　　I need to get out of here.

　　I slowly removed Aling Gloria's hand and turned away from them to get stuck. I quickly ran out of the Forbidden City so that no one could catch up with me. I need to calm my mind about what happened.

　　I don't know where I ended up but I could hardly see anything around because it was night and only a small lamp on the wall served as my light. Where am I now?

　　"Z-Zenith?" I heard a familiar voice call to me.

　　I turned around to find out who it was but it was dark and I could see nothing.

　　Huh? I heard someone call me, was I just imagining?

　　"Zenith ..." it called again.

　　This time the voice was from in front of me so I turned around and saw Venom. What is he doing here?

　　"It's you," I could only say.

　　I didn't expect to see him here and with the number of people here, will I still be able to meet him? Tch!

　　"What are you doing here?" he asked.

　　I almost laughed at his senseless question. "Tsk, am I not also allowed to go where I want? What about you if I'm here?" my sarcastic statement.

　　"Hmm, nothing ..." he looked around. "But because, you can't memorize every place in the Academy so how did you get here? Do you know where you are?"

　　"Tss, can I? I don't have time to answer your questions that don't matter so step aside and I'll hit you ..." I said seriously.

　　She smiled, she literally smile like hell. What is he thinking?

　　"Are you really going to do that?"

　　My eyebrows are still furrowed. "And why not?"

　　"Even with your best friend?" I was stunned. "Have you forgotten the ones we put together?" he added.

　　I can not talk. My blood starts to boil with what he is carrying. He has no right to remind me of the thing that he himself has buried in oblivion. How dare you, Venom.

　　"Oh? Why can't you talk there? Zenith, we used to be friends? But why now, just get to know each other or Maybe ... strangers?" I clenched my fist at what he was saying and he noticed that.

　　"Are you angry? Why? Is it because you're guilty of what happened? Zenith, I consider you a brother! And now, I'll see you again here at the Academy where I'm quietly and peacefully studying with my new friends?" he actually even emphasized the word friend. Wow! Tsk.

　　"Stop it, Venom. I don't have time to talk to you about that, it's over so don't bother!" I couldn't help myself, I scolded him.

　　I didn't do anything to him but why is he so angry ?! Am I hurting him ?! I swear to heaven and hell that I did not ruin our friendship.

　　I didn’t like what happened!

　　It's still clapping. "Wow! Are you really good at finishing what was paused? Zenith, aren't you so sorry for me? For what happened?"

　　"And why should I?" I immediately asked.

　　"You broke my trust!" he scolded. "Do you know? How much I trust you for what you did to save me? But what happened, you promised to leave me? You will leave me in the powder of your murderous family ?!"

　　I took a deep breath to calm myself. "You know who and what I am, don't you? I told you to wait for me while I was on my mission but you didn't and you just left!" I exclaimed.

　　Now, let’s see what else you can say. We were both stuck in my situation, Venom. If you only knew...

　　"I know but I don't know that your Uncle Izumi won't just die ..." my eyes widened at what he said.

　　Why did he mention that? Is there something I do not know? What has Izumi got to do with our friendship with Venom?

　　"What do you mean?" I asked incredulously.

　　"Do you remember the day you saved me?"

　　What happened at that time suddenly came to my mind.

　　My first mission ...
