Chapter Fourteen: Fake it 'till she feel it

"Cy?! You... You're here!"

Bea screamed. Happy as she saw Cycy on the door.

—about to leave the door but then he was stopped by her.

"E-Eh? What happened to your hands, Cy?"

Bea asked.

Worryingly, she held his hand and looked at it.

But Cycy immediately withdrew his hand and hid it in his pocket.

"Hey!" Bea said.

"It's nothing."

he said coldly and was about to get out of the door but she pulled him in his arms.

"Hey! Cycy! What is happening to you? Don't leave yet!" Bea said.

The girl pulled him and he immediately followed.

His gaze shifted to me.

When he sat on the couch, he just stared at me.

"I just got out for about minutes then this happened, Cy! What did you just do?" She worryingly asked.

About to held him in his hand again but then he hid it.

"I said it's nothing, Bea. I'm fine."

He said it in a baritone voice.

"Bea, I need to go home at 11:30 so as you should. I won't be here long because..."

I couldn't continue what I was saying when I met his eyes.

"Because... because I still have an interview at ELSon tomorrow morning. I can't stay up late."

Bea's gaze shifted to me and then she approached the couch where I was sitting.

She held my hands as she looked at me with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Is that so? In that case, I won't stop you then. It's important that you get to your interview tomorrow on time."

she said softly. I was a little happy because Bea didn't insist on what she wanted now.

And somehow, I'm happy that I made what Cycy wanted me to say to her.

"You must be happy, Brother Cy? I won't stay here until midnight." she said with obvious annoyance in her voice.

"As you should. Bea, Uncle Fabio will be mad if he knows that you even stepped up in this bar." he said.

He took another bottle of beer and drank.

Bea snorted. "Does that mean you're joining us here? wow. If you'll come to Italy, we will drink a lot of expensive drinks there. You should come there too, Sca!"

"I..."

"I bet you two should be friends too since you're my best friend. What do you think, Sca?"

I almost spit out my beer when I heard that.

"B-Bea..."

"There's no problem there, right, Cy? You must be friends with Sca. So that if there's a time that you need to contact me and I didn't answer, call Sca instead."

My whole being almost trembled when Bea handed her cellphone to the man.

At first Cox just looked at it, and eventually Bea spoke up to clarify what she was implying.

"Here's Sca's number. Call her if you can't call me. I'm always updating her so she knows everything about me." She said.

Cycy coldly looked at Bea's cellphone.

Seconds after, when I was about to take Bea's cellphone, Cycy immediately took out his cellphone from his pocket and took Bea's cellphone too.

I swallowed. My eyes were heating up. Mmm

"Make sure this is the active one." he commented as he tapped his cellphone's screen.

Did the air escape from my body? or even my own sanity?

It seems that everyone around me has slowed down and every time he taps his cell phone it seems to cause my chest to tighten.

It makes my chest feel heavy.

My heart beats hard and heavy inside my ribcage.

And as soon as he handed back her cellphone to her, my eyes met his.

"There was trouble outside earlier. Aren't you worried about your workers?" Bea asked.

I just watched the two of them talk.

While sipping beer, I couldn't help but be nervous about what Bea might say.

Cy just looked up at her and spoke deeply.

"It's fine. it's just normal here." he replied shortly.

But Bea wasn't satisfied so she asked again.

"Mess? normal? is it normal here that someone were sent to the hospital because of the trouble? that's alarming, really." she said.

But it was obvious on Bea's face that she was holding back her laughter.

"But you know what, Cy? I heard earlier that he was one of your workers. His name was D-... uh... Darren? Drake? God! I can't remember!!!!"

D? Dayf?

I cleared my throat and adjusted my seat.

I took my cellphone from my side and opened it.

"Bea, I need to go." I said when I saw Jaehyun's text.

"Wait, why?"

I showed Bea my cellphone screen and she was also surprised.

"Kim Jaehyun were at the airport? oh my god? I didn't know you were connected to Jaehyun?"

"yes, so I have to go, Bea. Sorry, I can't accompany you here anymore—"

"I'll come with you, please?"

I looked at her in shock and was stunned.

Although the Airport is close to Hops Aleden, we still need to travel around 30 minutes to come.

And she's only allowed until 11:30, and now is 10:36.

"Cy if you want, you can come with us? Take us to the airport?" Bea suggested which I immediately tried to stop.

"Bea, I have my car there. There's no need to —"

"Okay. As long as I'm sure with your safety." Cy said, heading towards the door with a pinned lips.
