Steven then walked closer to Lyon.
Of course, he was greeted by Lyon's sullen face when Steven smiled too scornfully at him.
Only one meaning that Lyon can conclude from Steven's unusual behavior like that, there is a shrimp behind a rock.
"Aren't you talking right now? So why do you have to ask permission? After all ... Even though I refuse you still insist, right?" Lyon replied curtly.
Lyon owned by Steven, made the smile of the young man two years older than him slowly fade. However, it did not make Steven's face gloomy, but there were only scratches of a little disappointment there. It didn't take long for Steven to smile again as before as if the glare from Lyon had only been limited to a passing advertisement which he didn't have to take seriously.
Steven knows very well that if Lyon is basically like that, it will show an unfriendly attitude only to people he already knows. Steven must be proud because he can be said to be someone who has known Lyon for a long time, although not in a good sense. More like an enemy. That's what Steven felt they were looking at.
"Right. But this is serious. I want to ask your permission to take Petra to the party tonight. I want him to come as a couple for the dance this time. Poor Petra, my beautiful little sister, has never been given the chance to attend such a festive party. like that will be held at night. Can you? " whispered Steven, bringing his head to Lyon's ear. Act like their close friends.
"Why do you have to ask permission?" asked Lyon half confused. Indeed, Lyon simply did not understand the mindset of this nagging historian candidate.
"Hey, dude. You forgot that Petra was your boyfriend? At least when you were at school. Why do I ask your permission because I don't want to be accused of being someone else's boyfriend? What's more, if it reaches our parents' ears. Are you okay? -What?" clearly Steven was still whispering as before. Smiling a sly smile.
Hearing Steven's long explanation earlier, Lyon understood. It turns out that Steven has a sensitivity about his fake status with Petra. Something that had never crossed Lyon's mind before. Having a boyfriend is troublesome too, especially with a fake status. Double troublesome, Lyon thought.
Lyon sighed slowly. Trying to think clearly without showing his blatantly rude attitude. They are still in a public place. And maintaining the good name of both families is the top priority. At least that was what was best for both of them.
"Honestly, if I don't mind at all. But what about Petra? Do you think he'll take your offer? I'm not sure he'll be seduced by a sneaky fox like you." said Lyon staring into Steven's eyes with a question mark and hatred that he did not cover.
Even though Steven is his upperclassman, Lyon must admit that what Steven just said is too presumptuous. Aren't there other female candidates he could invite to come to that ridiculous party? Why does it always have to be Petra, Petra, and Petra?
"Don't worry about Petra. I will treat him like my own little brother. I won't be able to do anything wrong with your very sweet girlfriend. Just so you know Lyon, I'm not as popular as you who can easily invite the girl I want around you. school to want to come to a party like that as my dance partner. Petra is a kind and not arrogant girl. Surely she will not think anything and will keep her attitude as usual Petra. It would be different if you asked her right? Not to mention the possibility of rumors from people about Petra. Can you afford the consequences?" Steven said softly but in a voice that was clear enough to be heard in Lyon's ears so that it seeped into his heart heartstrings.
Something that sounded like a threat. But several things make Lyon aware, something he never thought of before.
More than anyone, Lyon is aware of the consequences if he takes Petra to official events and introduces the crowd as a lover. Despite the fact, Lyon has brought Petra to his parent's house in Seriz and introduced the girl as a future wife.
Still, it is different because until this moment Lyon's father and mother have remained silent as if they have blessed their relationship with Petra but have not announced it to anyone else. It's like something to keep secret and Lyon at least understands that. It is not time for Lyon to involve Petra more deeply.
These facts make Lyon even more frustrated and don't know what to do and how he should behave.
Until the time passes too fast. For Lyon, soaking in the bathtub for thirty minutes was not enough to clear his head and relax his muscles that were stiff from the tournament this morning. Not to mention Lisa's babbling when she asked her older sister what Steven said. Unexpectedly, Lisa's reaction looks normal and seems indifferent.
"Why not? After all, it's just an ordinary party and no one will pay much attention because he's just Steven.
After all, he's politely asked your permission, right? So where's the problem? Or do you want to come with Petra as your partner? " babbled Lisa after Lyon tried to urge her to give a response for the uneasiness that could not go away from Lyon's mind.
"No. That's not what I mean, Lisa.
It's just ... I feel like something's wrong here but I don't know where it is." argued Lyon by glancing out of Lisa's bedroom window.
"So you are jealous?"
....
Lyon felt all his guts want to come out when he heard what Lisa had just said. The words that came out of Lisa's lips, who were blushing sexy suddenly made Lyon's stomach instantly nauseous. He couldn't help but think of the baseless accusations Lisa had brought against him. Ridiculous and absurd. Impossible.
"What kind of thinking is that? What led you to such disgusting conclusions, wrinkled witch?" said Lyon not accept. Even Lyon could feel his tongue became bitter that second.
