Ian's eyes widened as she looked at the man in front of her. She was shocked by the two words he mentioned. She didn't know why but it seemed like a warm hand touched her heart when she heard what this man said. Especially when she heard the concern in his voice, which was also visible on his face. Because of that, the annoyance that she had been feeling about this man suddenly dissolved.
What is there to him and why does he have such an effect on her?
"What?" she asked the man with a frown, because she didn't know his name yet so she just called him 'man, man, man'. Though she could call him Mister Killer Smile . Because his smile kills.
"I said that I can't leave you alone." he said and was even held by its neck. He didn't know if it was just his imagination but his face seemed to blush a little.
Where are you, Ian! It is no longer fashionable for men to blush. And why would he blush? he was talking to himself.
"Why? Do you know me, huh? Leave me in peace, will you? And maybe I can't estimate you and all of a sudden I'll hit you! ” he was sick of this man. He barely moved away from it because there was something in this man that seemed to be pulling at him.
There was some emotion that went through the face of the man in front of him but you also disappeared immediately so maybe his sight is fooling him again. Again a tender smile appeared on this man's lips. “It will be a waste of your tears if you just keep crying for the man who made you cry. You might be hurt right now but eventually, you will also know why you are hurting now. ”
He was not immediately silent because of what this man said. She even slightly averted her eyes from the man in front of her. His words went straight to his heart and it was as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart. Because of what she said, she remembered Aiden's breakup with her. Like a scene from a movie, he remembered the moments they had together before. And of course, what happened earlier.
Reason? Is there a reason why he is hurting now? If there is a reason for all this, what is it? Everything was so perfect between her and Aiden. Why does that have to disappear for the reason this man says?
He was slightly taken aback when he felt the touch of a soft object on his cheek. Immediately his hand flew towards the object and he found his hand on her cheek. He put a handkerchief on her cheek.
“What the hell are you doing ?!” he was shocked at this man, not because of what he had done but because of what he had done. Her heartbeat seemed to speed up for no apparent reason.
This man just looked at her and did not remove the handkerchief from his cheek. Instead, he even smiled at her. "Drying up your tears."
"Drying up my—" he touched the other cheek and he touched it wet. She hadn't wiped away her tears before as she ran away crying.
She felt this man gently wipe her tear -wet cheek and she couldn't help but stare at it. He was so… gentle. Its hand is very light. The tip of his finger even slightly touched her cheek causing her to shrink. Not because he didn't want to do it but because of the strange electricity that flowed from his finger to his body.
He removed the touch of the handkerchief he was holding on his cheek but he was even more surprised by what he did next. He took her hand and laid his handkerchief on it.
“W-what are you—“
"I know you're not comfortable with me drying up your tears so that's it, I just gave you my handkerchief so you can wipe the tears from your cheeks yourself." he said while reflecting again with a sweet smile on his lips.
Really, does this man know nothing to do but smile at him like that? Your smile seemed to suddenly make him forget the incident lately? Your smile that suddenly released tears earlier is planning to drip again?
"Thank you." he said in a low voice and bent slightly to hide the appearance of a smile on his lips. She didn’t know but there seemed to be a warm hand caressing her heart because of this man’s concern for her welfare.
"You're welcome."
"I'll just return this handkerchief once I wash it." he said as he wiped his handkerchief on his cheek. He could barely smell the scent of it that he knew was also the scent of the man in front of him.
“Just put my handkerchief away. When you feel like crying again, use it. Forget what I said about crying badly. It's okay to cry as long as every tear drops from your eyes, it's equivalent to forgetting the man who made you cry. ” he said and to his surprise again he touched her cheek.
He moved slightly away from this man again because he did not like the heat that his palm brought to his cheek. "I m-must be going." he said goodbye to this man, though he didn't know why he was still saying goodbye to it. They don't know each other or are close.
“Wait! 'Your cake!' its cry to him. He did n't even notice that he let go of the cake he was holding before.
"It's too early!" he shouted and walked straight on and never looked back at that kind man. It seems that someone is chasing his ten demons because of the speed of his walking.
He did not know what was happening to himself. One minute, she was mourning for her lost love. And the other minute, her heart was beating faster because of a man. I think he's already harvested!
"I didn't ask his name." he said at the same time feeling frustrated.
Now, why was he suddenly disappointed? What's happening to herself?
