Chapter 22 - If Close Can Make Calm

Regina's apartment door was still difficult to open even though she had practiced how Riyu opened it yesterday, Regina finally gave up and contacted the owner of the room she rented to fix the door.

"Yeah, I can't open it even though I picked it up and pushed it," Regina honestly doesn't like to fuss at least if she can still handle it. Regina would choose to solve her own problems without the help of others. But this door feels embarrassing every time Riyu just comes out of her room door to find Regina lifting the door, it's very embarrassing.

Regina sat on the floor facing her apartment door while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

When the elevator rang and Regina looked exactly in the direction of the elevator, hoping that the repairman who had fixed the door would come, it turned out that Riyu was actually there.

The figure that suddenly continued to annoy Regina met eyes immediately, both of them looking at each other.

Not knowing how to express herself, Regina turned her face forward. Riyu pilin didn't say hello. The man immediately opened the lock. But strangely the man left his apartment door open.

Regina hoped that the handyman would come and fix the door soon, so she wouldn't have to resist peeking at Riyu's place. Why didn't the man close the door? Regina could easily hear the noises Riyu was making from inside her apartment to the man's footsteps. Then an acoustic instrument sounded.

Regina leaned her head enjoying each and every note. Regina often listens to music while reading a book, it feels like it will make her enter the novel she is reading, with a glass of warm chocolate.

Regina didn't expect that Riyu would come out again in a different outfit, but it was still the same as before. The man was wearing all black.

Riyu walked but didn't lock the door and Regina seemed to be holding her breath when Riyu turned out to be walking towards her with a cup that had hot steam on it.

Regina held her breath again as Riyu lowered her head to place the glass in front of her, which was filled with warm chocolate as seen from its color. The man knew Regina's preferences.

After putting it down Riyu still didn't say anything. Regina looked up, looking at Riyu who was also looking at her. I don't know what was in that gaze but the two of them were silent for a while.

"This is for me?" Regina asked.

Riyu then knelt down in front of him. The scent of the man's body immediately invaded Regina's sense of smell. He was lulled by the sharp eyes that currently pierced him.

"My door is unlocked," Riyu said after that then got up and went to the elevator.

When the clinking of the elevator announced that it had brought Riyu down, Regina just took the glass and felt its warmth. Inhaling the reflex-soothing chocolate scent made him smile. Riyu purposely didn't lock the door, which indirectly offered Regina to wait there.

Biyan and Yona have just arrived at the airport where they will spend their vacation.

"Over here!" All his friends waved to ask both of them to come.

Otherwise, Yona who threatened Biyan would not come. Instead of spending money on vacation, it is better for him to spend it on college needs later. All groups immediately prepared to fly in economy class, traveling by plane only took about 40 minutes to arrive at the destination island.

On the business class plane was Rex sitting cross-legged with the document he was reading. Hearing that the girl was on vacation, Rex would not be silent, especially if he was going on a one-night date, his friends could do that and Biyan would join in like the other day. Rex was often stressed remembering that night, and how Biyan's body was.

"Bring me some cold water!"

As the flight attendant passed by Rex asked for cold bottled water.

"Okay, Mr." The beautiful woman left and then returned with a bottle of cold drink. Rex gulped it down. Rex looked at the woman who was teasing him with a twinkle in his eye, unfortunately, Rex wasn't interested. "I don't need anything else," he said coldly.

From each class, the curtain that separates them is still open. Rex could still see from a distance that Biyan laughed with his best friend as he loaded his luggage and then looked at the number of seats to sit on. It's really crazy that Rex has to support his chin, can't stand looking at the teenage girl for a long time.

Not with Javier's current fate, curses continue to fall freely on the CEO who is currently more busy taking care of his baby doll. "The boss doesn't have a heart, my leave is only limited to paper and his signature. Meanwhile, I'm still working. How dare, boss. You make me redo all the schedules that have been neatly arranged for this one week." Javier is still in front of his laptop and has a telephone ready to be picked up to contact various groups if the meeting schedule is postponed to next week. Rexford is sick.

The secretary who helped Javier continued to smile at Javier's grumbling. But his hands are still working with a sad face.

"You seem very pleased to see me like this, Ev?" he said hating Elvi's smile.

"You're not the only one trapped, I canceled dinner with my boyfriend and worked late with you."

"You can still have a girlfriend, can I? During my time with Rex, I only went out one night because there wasn't any time for girls at all."

The woman laughed again while Javier looked away in disgust.

"You want me to order some chocolate, to be happier?" Elvi laughed even more with his ridicule.

Biyan was already sitting, beside him was a man who was the same age as him.

"Hey." The man stretched out his hand.

Biyan did not want to accept it. "I'm a good boy, just want to get acquainted." He pulled Biyan's hand and forced a handshake.

Biyan brushed off a bit but still tried to be friendly. "Bian."

"Nice name, suits you."

Biyan just smiled, from business class who was only awake by the curtain. Rex saw a boy sitting beside Biyan. His wide feet stepped closer to the economy room.

"Where are you going, sir? The plane is taking off soon."

"I'm just a moment." Rex went straight past the flight attendant to Biyan's seat.

"Ah… you?" Biyan pointed at Rex in confusion.

Rex's gaze shifted to the boy. "Have you ever been on a business plane?"

The boy shook his head slightly with his face up and his mouth slightly open. "Not yet."

"You want to try? We can switch places."

It didn't take long for the boy to wake up enthusiastically, while Biyan, who saw the situation, could only remain silent. Rex sat even though his body had filled the gap between the chairs.

The boy was already running towards business class. Rex looked back at Biyan.

"What are you doing?" asked Biyan still with an expression of disbelief, there were people who exchanged business class for the economy on the plane. Inside there is much more comfortable and spacious than here having to be crammed with other passengers.
