Chapter 518 - Who's that girl
[PLEASE REFRESH PREVIOUS CHAPTER BEFORE READING THIS CHAP. I ALREADY CHANGE THE CONTENT^^]
Outside Sei’s study, Zaki was quietly leaning against the door with his hands in his pockets.
His face looked calm but his eyes were glimmering with something intense. He stood there for a long while before he eventually left.
Zaki found himself walking back to the kitchen. He leaned against the door frame as he watched his wife enjoying herself in her baking task while Little Shin was reading a book as he sat at the head of the table. The little guy was there to watch his aunt.
A slight smile curved on Zaki’s lips seeing how happy Hinari was while doing her very best. However, the man didn’t let her see him. When Hinari felt that someone was watching her, she lifted her face towards the door but Zaki was no longer there.
Zaki walked aimlessly towards the living room. His expression was grey. But once he saw Juu and Kyuu sitting quietly in the corner, his expression somehow changed a little.
He walked towards the quiet duo and sat across them.
"Yo!" he said and the two simply blinked at him. "Sigh... stop being so gloomy, you two."
"Gloomy? Juu, are we gloomy?" Kyuu innocently asked to the man right next to him and the man frantically shook his head.
Zaki could only sigh again. He forgot that these two were far worse than him. Even if they were already in their mid-twenties, their emotional intelligence was utterly messed up. In fact, they were abnormally devoid with human emotions. Unlike him, Juu and Kyuu were called as one of those ten successful product who possessed absolute obedience towards their master. They were like robots who couldn’t think about themselves.
Looking at them, Zaki wondered if someone could manage to open the chained window of their hearts too, just like what happened to him.
The thought that these two would die just like this made him felt miserable. Not towards himself because he had realized how fortunate he was. He was fortunate because Sei took him out of that lab earlier than anyone else and even gave his mother to him to at least plant some emotions in his young heart. He was fortunate because, he met Hinari made him feel like he was just a normal human being who was capable of loving someone.
He was very fortunate compared with Juu and Kyuu. Even though they manage to survive that explosion, he knew that they really don’t feel like living at all, even now. He could even tell in their eyes that they were not worried or scared about the fact that their time was about to end. He couldn’t even see any remorse or anger, especially towards Kyuu, who had just suffered excruciating pain just days ago. As always, they looked like there was nothing wrong at all.
"Hey, you two..." Zaki leaned his head on his palm as he looked at them. "Do you have anyone you like?" he asked. "Except Chen. Don’t include him or me. What I mean is... a girl."
The two looked at each other and they looked like they didn’t understand the question at all.
"Okay, it’s like this..." Zaki leaned forward as he placed his elbows on his knees. "What I mean is... is there a girl who ever caught your attention? Like, when you see her, you can’t take your eyes off her because you thought she’s really pretty and you can’t stop thinking about her. Something like that."
Surprisingly, the two nodded.
Zaki was surprised. "Ohh!! Really?!!" he was suddenly excited. Even Juu actually nodded.
"Juu... don’t tell me you’re talking about that girl who hurt Chen!" Kyuu suddenly confronted Juu.
When Juu looked down and hesitantly nodded, Kyuu blinked at him before he sighed.
"I hate that girl. Well, she’s pretty but she hurt Chen, how could you still like her?" Kyuu complained.
"But, I couldn’t think about any other girl but her." the quiet man finally spoke.
"That’s because she’s the only girl who spoke to you! And didn’t I tell you to forget about her? You can’t like anyone who hurt Chen, you get it?" Kyuu burst out while Juu simply tilted his head.
"I see." Was all Juu uttered after a moment and Kyuu finally calmed down.
Zaki, who was listening like an old man watching his sons bicker about their crushes finally spoke. He was intrigued with the girl they were talking about. A girl hurt Yu Chen that devil kid? Now that’s a big surprise!
"A girl hurt Yu Chen? Who? When?" Zaki began the interrogations. Thankfully, Kyuu spill all the beans without any further ado.
"Ohh... so that’s what happened. I never thought that that little devil had experienced heartbreak at such a young age." Zaki was amused. "Was that heartbreak the reason behind his hardened heart? That girl, where is she now?"
Juu and Kyuu looked at Zaki. "She’s with someone else now. She has forgotten about Chen and us too." Kyuu sounded betrayed while Juu simply looked down.
"She’s married?" Zaki’s eyes widened.
"No but... she already has a man."
"So when Yu Chen met her again, she already has a boyfriend?"
"No, Chen never met her."
"Huh? Why?"
"We don’t know. Chen refuse to meet her."
"Why, he didn’t like her anymore?"
"We don’t know. Chen don’t like talking about her."
"Hmm... I didn’t think that little devil is quite complicated too, eh. I’ll bug him about this later." Zaki rubbed his chin with his thumb before he returned his attention towards the boys. "So? How about you, Kyuu? Who’s that girl you like?"
Kyuu leaned back and rested his head on the couch. "I don’t really know if I like her. I don’t know. I think, I just like talking to her. When I’m alone in the hospital, she always visits me in my room."
"Ohh... she’s a nurse?"
"No, she’s a patient too. She always come in my room with her IV drip. She said she has cancer. I didn’t feel like escaping the facility when she’s there." Kyuu said. There wasn’t any change in his expression but Zaki could see a little glimmer in his eyes as he spoke about her.
