"Louis, let's eat now. You're not on a diet like most women, are you?" Jack asked Louis casually.
"Hey! Why do you equate me with a woman?" Louis annoys Jack, who is his best friend and right-hand man in the company.
Jack chuckled at Louis's babbling, which he thought seemed pleasant to him, especially after a meeting which had taken quite a long time.
"I thought so. Since I didn't see you intending to have lunch, it was clear on your face that you wouldn't have lunch this time if I didn't ask you."
"Tch, you suck," Louis clicked on Jack.
It seems like teasing with Louis will become Jack's new habit for him.
After that, Louis and Jack stepped into the restaurant, which is close to his office which can still be reached on foot.
Throughout the trip, Louis seemed speechless, really did not speak at all with Jack.
"Mmm ... Louis, do you really intend to shut me up because you're mad at me? Or—"
Not yet had time for Jack to be busy complaining to Louis, his friend quickly stopped Jack's words by staring at him and stopping his footsteps.
Louis's gaze immediately made Jack shut his mouth tightly. Really he didn't like Louis's gaze at this time.
"Can you be quiet if you still want to eat with me?"
Jack sighed softly and rubbed his chest softly, even the voice he wanted to say he couldn't make it out, as if his throat was blocked by something or something so that not a single sound could be heard by Louis as an answer.
Only a nod of the head Jack could give Louis in response.
Silent...
Cling
The sound of the bells on the restaurant door sounded quite clear, a little bit melting the atmosphere between Jack and Louis.
"Sorry."
Thump!
"Are you apologizing to me?" asked Jack quickly.
Louis gave Jack a slight hum.
"I have a lot of thoughts."
"That's Okay."
Jack took a deep breath as he rubbed his chest lightly as if he could let go of his previous fear and awkwardness.
"Finally, you're back to normal. I thought you'd be like that until we get back to the office later," said Jack to Louis.
Louis frowned softly, not knowing what Jack said.
"You don't have to think about it. It's just that you need to realize that before you looked scary to me."
Hearing the words of his best friend Louis only rubbed the nape of his neck, which did not itch. He himself did not realize what had happened before. All he remembered was erratic thoughts.
"Do you think it's natural for me to want to see Nara's face right now?" asked Louis suddenly to Jack.
Instantly Jack coughed, coughing at Louis's words which he thought were very strange.
Isn't that his best friend usually a woman lover and often changes partners? So shouldn't Louis really understand his feelings for women.
"Are you sure you are asking me this? Aren't you always telling me a loser because I can't afford to ask a girl to date me? "
"Tch, it looks like I really said it to you wrong," clicked Louis, stepping his foot towards the table he wanted to occupy.
"What ?! Is that how bad you look at me? Oh come on, Louis is not funny, don't you drop me like that, even though I don't have experiences like you, it's just that I see a lot of your love story experiences and you still remember that I love reading books, don't you? "
For a moment, Louis paused to digest Jack's long words.
"Is that so?"
Only that word came out of Louis's mouth.
"Woah ... you're getting annoying, Louis."
Afterward, Louis, who was lazy to serve Jack, who was sulking at him, only told his best friend to sit on the empty bench in front of him.
"If you can really understand what is happening to me, and want me to praise you if you really understand about love, then what do you think is happening to me? and what about what I said earlier? "
Jack quickly sat in his place and tried to wet his throat first before starting his bright advice to Louis.
"You think what happened is a natural thing for someone who is in love like you, and I can say this time you really like Nara, not like the other girls that you've been playing with, and you even dated them in a short time."
"Is that so?" Louis asked, nodding his head, confirming what was said by Jack.
This time Louis hopes that Jack's words are true and not just a bluff.
He had convinced himself that he really liked Nara, and he had told himself that he would not hurt Nara's heart like the previous girls if Nara accepted his love.
"I hope your words are true. Do you think if I call her with her current state, it will not be a problem?"
For a moment, Jack thought. He himself did not really know whether it would be a problem or not if Louis chose to contact Nara to treat his longing.
"Just try it. I don't know it will be a problem or not. It's just that I think if you just keep it quiet, then all day long, you will be annoyed, and it will disturb my work."
Shortly, Louis took his cellphone in his pocket and tried to contact Nara, who was in Germany.
It took Louis a few times to really be able to contact Nara.
"Hello Nar, am I bothering you?"
"More or less, what's wrong? Is there anything you want to ask me? "
"Nothing, it's just that I'm worried about you. Have you eaten?"
There was silence for a moment.
"Not yet, in a moment."
The tone of voice on the other side of the phone still sounded relaxed and didn't sound as hoarse as sadness like last time.
"Eat. You have to think about your health as well. I'm glad your voice can finally return to its usual way, unlike before, which sounded hoarse."
"Ah ... that ..."
"I know, you don't have to tell me. I don't want to make you sad."
"Tha—"
"Nate, turn off the phone! Ed and Dru are coming! "
Pip
The phone just went dead. For a moment, Louis froze in silence, trying to remember what he heard the last time.
'Nate? Shouldn't it be Nara? Did I hear wrong? 'Monologue Louis tried to ask himself.
"What is wrong? Why is your phone disconnected? "
"Ah, this ... I think her brother came, and she didn't want my phone to be found out by her brothers, so she suddenly disconnected my phone just like that."
Jack nodded his head and told Louis that he could guess that Nara had been communicating with Louis without the knowledge of her other siblings.
'Too bad Louis has to like Nara, who has a lot of bodyguards.'
