Chapter 30: Jean's Decision

Woke up and start my morning routine. Just like that, I go to my workplace and greet them and work with them.

My relationship with Kei remains as happy and healthy as far. I want to stay like this, even though we're just working I'm still happy on her side.

Just like usual we work late because of how much paperwork we need to finish. Jean is already gone home but the strange is that Kiel stays with us even though he seems bored. He doesn't like working but he is helping us to finish the work.

For Max, she didn't come to the company that is because she said her dad's company need her so she can't come or went with us.

We manage to finish the work not too late thanks to Kiel, he seems dumb but he's not. And so we are about to go home but Kiel stops and and invites me to drink. I'm about to refuse but I saw his looking down my face and I suddenly can't refuse. I agree but in exchange, we should take Kei home first before going to the club.

After we take Kei home we both said goodbye and let her enter her house before we left. I talk to Kiel and went straight to the point.

" What's wrong? Based on my observation you didn't tease Jean like you always do. There's something happened between you and Jean didn't you?"

" It's been so long since I see your long face full of sadness, they might not notice but I know you, Kiel, you can't hide your emotion from me," I added.

The room in the car went silent and I no dare talk before he answer my question.

After a minute I notice some tears coming down his pants and went to see his face and he start crying so loud.

The silence is now full of crying voices, the loud voice that only crying you can hear. Cry that you can even tell how hurt he is.

I let him cry until he can talk and calm down a bit. I still didn't talk to Jean because we're too busy because of work.

For a long time, Kiel's crying became weak and weak, after Kiel stopped crying, I asked.

"Ready to talk? Just talk. I am willing to listen to whatever rant you want to talk about. First, let's go to the club and drink, I think it's better to get drunk so you can get out what you want to say." Kiel said while rubbing his back.

"I don't want to rant in public especially clubs, let's go to my house or your house wherever you want." He said.

"Then let's go to your house, there's so much alcohol in your house. Let's go."

Kiel started the engine and started driving. We went to Kiel's house and I feel myself at home that's because I am close to his family, especially his parents. Also, he had one other sibling, still in high school, a little girl.

As soon we enter the house, we got alcohol and went to his room. We start drinking before we talk to each other. We were halfway through drinking the whole case of alcohol, so I went and talk to him.

" C, mon talk, I have work tomorrow I can't stay here for so long," I said to Kiel.

" Well you see, I already confess to Jean yesterday, she already said that we should still stay as friends but right now I don't think I can." He said with a low voice.

" To think you state, it seems she rejected you huh?" I can't look into his eyes that's because I have an idea why she rejected him.

" You know why she rejected me."

That short sentence he said left me speechless before I could talk. I can't face him, I just can't.
