The thunder voice heard so loud inside the room, Yohan opened his eyes to see the place was clearly white because of the lightening followed again by thunder and heavy rain.
He was sleeping on a sofa inside a hotel-suite, since he couldn't find a taxi or a phone to take one he decide to get to the nearest hotel and book a room so he can spent the night. But in the middle of that thunder and rain voice he heard a heavy breathing.
"em?" he wondered if he still drank but did push himself up looking at the door inside that hotel-suite he reserved, deciding to check on the one who he put on the warm bed, he stands up even if he felt little dizzy from all the drinking, shrugging his head he walked to the room and opened it carefully, to see that Rain was on a sitting position looking at emptiness, clenching his fist on where his heart and breathing fast. "Rain?" he called but no reply, he let himself in till he was near the bed.
He could see him shaking, sweating and hardly breathing he thought either it is a bad dream or a trauma reaction so he called again "Rain?" this time he got a knee on the bed to get more closer and touch him, and with that touch Rain got jumped scared like he didn't notice he was here. "it's me!" he said and saw Rain looking at him with a relieved eyes, sliding to his side and hugs him around his waist since he was still half standing
"Fourth! I thought I was alone"
Yohan did stiffened again thinking what with him and the hugging? still he did put his hand on Rain's head when he felt he was trying to relax himself, but once the thunder hit again he tightened the grip like a small kid scared of thunder "it's okay, I am here" he said patting him.
---what is this? The same trauma he said he have with the swimming? Could it be a rainy day back then too! Damn he look so vulnerable, where is the heroic Rain I know--- Yohan shake his head but then it clicked ---wait a minute…did he just call me…FOURTH?---
Yohan felt the cold shivers in his body wondering since when he know who he is? But then remembered what happened exactly at the engagement day a nd what was on Rain pocket
---the scratch? That crown ring did left a scratch on my face, damn he is a doctor Yohan, you should have put makeup to hide it! No wonder he acted aggressively that time, he realized who I was, that's why he suddenly change his mind and decide to help me out--- he huffs ---since he knows there is no point in hiding it anymore---
Yohan thought about it and somehow he felt better if he knows who he is.
-------------// the next morning
Rain was the first to wake up, he firstly look at what he was clinging on, and his eyes got wide open seeing it was Yohan's arm who was sleeping next to him. He would be lying if he didn't say he felt embarrassed because he remembered how he hugged him while feeling terrified till he falls back to sleep.
He hates how he can't control it…
He took his hand slowly from Yohan arm afraid he will wake him up and was about to slide away from the bed but stopped seeing how he was sleeping soundly. Appreciating the view he smiled thinking if there is any person could look this perfect even with all that hair on his face. His eyes went to Yohan forehead and it was covered by his long bangs, he was so sure there is the Hellhound tattoo down there, he slowly gets his hand closer to the bags and push them away a little, not much but enough to see the black ink but he got shocked...
"What the fuck"
Rain whispered pushing himself away immediately not believing it, thinking 'where is the tattoo?' He was so sure he is the same person! "No way" he couldn't believe his eyes but there was nothing! It is supposed to be there! did he made a mistake? But it was the same trace on both faces at the same spot! Everything clicked the same on the two how could it be that there is no face tattoo! "What…was I thinking?"

After sometime Yohan opened his eyes, feeling he had way enough sleep. He pushed himself from the sleeping to a sitting position inside the bed, and look at the side to find it empty "Rain?" he called standing and walking to the bathroom but it was empty, he walked outside the room and also was empty "he already left?" Yohan said looking around not seeing any shoes or trace of Rain, he looked at the watch in his hand and got shocked seeing how the time was past 9 now "that freaking idiot didn't wake me up" he said knowing he was late for school.
--------// at the university
Yohan walk in the hallways after he barely catch up with the second period, he even left his phone back at the apartment to be charged, passing by a hall-lecture he saw some students inside and Rain was among them, since it was the lunch time he decide to wait since they will get out of the hall eventually. And he supposed to talk to him about him knowing he is Fourth
"Yohan"
He saw Yuki coming waving at him
"Waiting for Rain"
Yohan nodded
"Cool let's eat together I am starving" she smiled "also thanks for yesterday I heard from the guards that you took care of everyone after we got wasted, such senior you are" she poked him teasingly
Yohan shake his head "You could have done the same"
"True" Yuki giggled seeing Rain coming out he looked at the two having a disturbed expression "Rain is everything okay?"
"Yea"
"Why you didn't wake me up! I missed the first period" Yohan asked without any bad intentions directly and Yuki looks at him with wide eyes "Not like how you think"
"Glad" Yuki touched her heart in a relief
"You didn't heard of an alarm?" Rain boldly answered
"h'e" Yohan couldn't comprehend what he just heard even Yuki called Rain name in confuse
"Rain!!!!"
"I don't feel like eating I will pass" Rain said wanting to leave but Yuki grabbed his arm stopping him with "What is going on with you?"
"I am not in the mood to look at some people"
And the words he said while glancing at Yohan felt personal, Yohan scoffs hearing that "what the hell, what did I do to you?" he asked wondering; if he already knows who he was and acted close inviting him to a drink, accepting his deal? What happened suddenly so he did switch like this?
Rain shake his head with "you did nothing, I just want some personal space" he said and left
Yohan looks at Yuki who didn't know either she should follow Rain or stay with Yohan "just go with him"
"I am really sorry" Yuki said but then runs after Rain walking besides him
---I am sure he have something abnormal in his brain, what did I even do? I feel stupid spending the night awake while he was shaking, I feel stupid I didn't let him in the street and go home, no I even carried him! If anyone from the Hellhounds would see me do that I will be wishing the ground to get cracked and swallow me instead, yet I did take the risk to get treated like a mistress in the next morning? Fuck he and his personal space if he is mad on something else he should have flame it on Yuki not me---
------------// after school hours
Yohan stopped the car next a hotel entrance, the time was 8pm. He gets down arranging his suit, seeing the parking valets looking at him in a scary way, yet one of them tried to do his job and take the car keys so he could park it. Yohan entered the hotel straight to the reception he didn't have to say a word the receptionist immediately said "Mr. Fourth welcome to the Pallas Hotel you're here for your dinner reservation?"
"Yes" Yohan answered her looking at the hotel who was filled with quotes and art, he wonder why Yuki chooses this one! Yes, when he went back home and open his phone he got a message from his uncle informing that he reserved a dinner table with his fiancée suggestion so they could know each other
He saw the receptionist calling a worker and asking him "please get our guest to the restaurant, he booked the whole side" she looked at him smiled with "I hope you enjoy your dinner sir"
Yohan nodded following the worker, but then stopped looking at a store, and asked the worker to wait for him. He gets in the store deciding to not show up without a gift for her or that wouldn't be professional.
Buying a gift he found suitable for Yuki, he headed with the worker to the elevator who pressed the rooftop floor, he nodded with himself thinking that the view must be stunning that is why she suggested it
---I also like those high places it feels calming for my liking, or maybe because i lived so long on the ground floor I prefer high places!---
Reaching the roof, he could see that there is two sides, the worker tensed when they arrived and Yohan knows what is going on he looked at the worker who smiled nervously and said "please sir this way"
Yohan followed him to the left side restaurant and it was empty, the worker leads him to a table and excuse himself yet Yohan who didn't want to be embarrassed so he called his uncle "what side did you book, I feel like they made a mistake" he asked once his uncle answered the call
The uncle: the right one, I found the left side already booked fully too, I will sent you the reservation
Hearing that Yohan stands immediately he knows his uncle doesn't get confused, and he did sent him the reservation and the word 'right' was boldly on it, switching the side he entered the other one to find it more like having 'the romantic' vibes all the red and calm music.
---Definitely this one!---
he went to the table in the middle and sits on it putting the gift in front of where Yuki supposed to be sitting and waited
