Suddenly Jim started laughing, "Hahaha. Just kidding!"
"You take it serious?"
"I love your expression. So funny!"
She is just looking at him. Her cheeks were lightly red and she seems so nervous.
A moment later, she snapped out of her condition and yelled at him in anger, "Hey, it pisses me off even if it is you!"
He frankly replied with a smile, "Never mind. You are the only good friend I trust behind Yi Kuan."
She get surprised. All things were paused for her, only one word of Jim is coming in her mind, 'My good friend...'
Jim stood up and said while waving his hand, "Please take care of my business. Bye!" then he left the bar.
She seems very desperate and she is thinking in her mind while staring that wanted photo, 'If you could be in love with a girl for over a month....'
'I would never just wanna be your friend...'
then she drank her drink in just one sip.
The sweet drink was very bitter for her because it's not the bitterness of drink. It's the bitterness of relationship.
In the next morning,
At Jim Chin's Apartment,
Tina packed her stuff and came to Jim's apartment.
He said while pointing his finger to a room, "Take the room near the living room. It's yours."
She is thinking in her mind while examining the place, 'I didn't notice last time. Such a large and gorgeous house....'
Suddenly Jim's eyes caught a glimpse of a cardboard box and a suitcase which is Tina's whole luggage.
He said with an awkward face, "All your luggage here? So little stuff?"
She twitched her eyes and said, "Just for a month. It's enough."
He said in dissapointment, "Why there is instant noodles?" because there is a whole box of instant noodles.
Then she started explaining to him, "My meal before sleeping. My happiest source is instant noodles after I'm off."
He took the box of instant noodles and threw it in the dustbin while Tina was explaining him.
She yelled, "Ah! What are you doing?"
He shouted with an angry face, "I have snacks and food in my house. Why you eat such junk food?"
She also shouted in rage, "It's my own business to take it or not! It's beyond your reach!"
Then she picked her suitcase and started moving towards her room.
When she reached to the door. She turned around and said, "Just keep in mind that you never touch me within one week! You can't act at your will even I do live here!"
"I'm gonna pack up my stuff! Please stay away!" then she immediately closed the door.
Jim said with an evil smile from outside of Tina's room, "Less than a week, girl."
"Two days have passed since we signed the deal."
"So you'll be my girl in five days."
She went silent for a moment then shouted in anger, "I got it! Shut up!"
He took a relief and thought in his mind, 'Such a temper....'
After 30 mins
Inside Tina's room,
She had unpack her stuff and now she is resting on her bed.
She thought about the night after this week ends, 'Only five days to go?'
'Only in 5 days will he and I?'
She started imagining that night with him, it made her tremble in fear.
Then she started mumbling to herself, "Never mind. I will just close my eyes and get it through...."
"Just a month of suffering. And then kids in the orphanage can lead a peaceful life."
"And I can return to my previous peace..."
'It's ok! I'll be fine! It'll be gone soon..."
She closed her eyes and went in deep sleep.
