Staring at his right hand, Evan walked into the kitchen. His hand still gave off a dim light, even though he didn't want it. Mimi said it happened because he was too tired, so he couldn't focus on turning the light on or off. For several times, the light appeared when Evan didn't want it, but sometimes it couldn't even come out when he wanted to use it.
Because of that, he chose to rest first. It would be foolish to keep trying the same thing. The arrival of Shane, who brought the idea of using lots of potato chip bags, opened Evan's mind. If he wanted to succeed, he really had to think of another way, as he promised Popo at that time.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find that way yet. And that makes him very disappointed with himself. He wants to see Popo again soon, but at the same time can't do anything. If he could choose, he felt it would be better to never have that power, than to feel sad like this. The grief of losing someone is so excruciating.
The young man took a deep breath when he arrived in the kitchen. He didn't immediately make iced tea as he said earlier. He just stares at his hands, which were still shining faintly. He didn't know what would happen if that hand accidentally gave life to the random thing in the kitchen. He did not yet know the full extent of that power.
It was only after the light in his hand disappeared that he started making drinks. He started off by filling the teapot with hot water, then he dipped the teabag in it.
He grumbled when he found the sugar jar in the kitchen was empty. Even though it was a trivial matter, he still felt annoyed. He was in a really bad mood.
He then roughly opened the kitchen cupboard above. After searching for a while, he found a plastic bag of sugar among the canned goods. He grumbled again because he felt his father put it in a hidden place.
He stretched out his hand to grab that packet of sugar. At that instant, his hands glowed by themselves, beyond his will.
"Well, shit."
Feeling the warmth from the sugar packet, Evan hurriedly took it out and put it on the floor. He then stepped back, holding his head. The sugar bag started to glow brightly. He didn't want that at all. What if that sugar became someone so close to him? If that sugar person disappeared, Evan was worried that sadness would hit his heart again.
Therefore, in fact, Evan had sworn to himself not to use his superpowers. He will only use it to bring Popo back to life.
However, the reality said otherwise. He accidentally gave life to the sweet thing instead.
The sugar packs glowed brighter and brighter, forcing Evan to cover his eyes with his arms. Then, the light faded rapidly, before finally disappearing completely.
What was in front of Evan was a rather chubby man in a pink suit. The man looked over his fifties, with large frizzy hair that was also pink, making Evan think of cotton candy. It looks so soft and the color is so bright.
"I'm Gargar!" The figure stretched out his arms and smiled broadly. His voice sounded shrill and a little fake. "Nice to meet you, Master!"
Evan waved his hand with a flat face. He didn't seem excited. "Hello, Gargar .... Hey!"
Evan didn't have time to do anything when Gargar lunged at him and hugged him tightly.
"You're so cute Master!" Gargar pressed his cheek against Evan's. His voice sounded even more excited. "I will pour out my love for you!"
Evan's mouth opened and closed like the mouth of a fish in an aquarium. Apart from having difficulty breathing due to Gargar's tight hug, the situation also made Evan confused and uncomfortable. How could a bag of sugar become an absurd being? This level of absurdity is far above Popo's.
"I really really love you, Master!" Suddenly, Gargar kissed Evan on the cheek.
Feeling the wetness and warmth from Gargar's lips, Evan immediately shivered violently. "Argggghhhh!!!"
The poor young man tried to break free, but Gargar hugged him even tighter. The sugar guy's kiss intensified over Evan's face.
"Help!!! There are fucking crazy people here!!!" Evan's scream sounded even more hysterical. He seemed to be in a state of life and death.
There were a few quick strides, then Shane, Kara, and Tony appeared in the kitchen. Their eyes suddenly widen in unison when they find the scene of Evan's face that continues to be kissed by Gargar.
"Don't stand still like that! Help me!!!" Now, Evan sounded like he wanted to cry.
Seeing Tony, Gargar stopped kissing Evan, then let go of his hug. With a quick breath, Evan immediately ran away and hid behind Kara.
"What are you doing!?" Kara tried to get Evan's hands off her shoulders.
Evan didn't answer and instead squatted down with a trembling body. He hugged Kara's leg and looked like someone who had just been severely traumatized.
"Hey!!!" Kara tries to break free, but Evan's hug just grows tighter.
"What are you doing, Evan? There was nothing on Kara's butt and thighs." Shane chuckled carelessly. "There's no meat at all in her... Ouch!"
Shane was jumping up and down while holding onto his foot which had just been stepped on by Kara.
"Judging by your age, it looks like you are Master Evan's father?" Gargar approached Tony while lifting his chin slightly.
Tony raised an eyebrow as Gargar stopped so close to him. "Yes, so?"
Gargar puffed out his chest and snorted. He then patted his chest hard. "I'm sure I can love Evan more than you!"
Tony looked at Gargar with his mouth wide open, then turned to Evan, who was still hugging Kara's feet. And then, he looked at Gargar again, after that he looked back at Evan. Tony did that comical gesture over and over again.
Gargar's expression grew even more arrogant. "I can prove my greater love! I'm ready to face you if you want to prevent me from showing my love! "
Tony blinked his eyes. "Please, go ahead. I won't get in your way."
His father's words made Evan's mouth open wide.
Smiling so broadly, Gargar pressed his fists against his cheeks. He poses like a Japanese idol who really likes to act cute.
"I am so glad! Your father gives me his blessing! Now, I can pour out my love for you with all my heart, Master!" Gargar's shriek sounded even more shrill.
"Keep yourself and your shitty cotton candy head away from me!!!" Evan cursed and ran away immediately.
