*Knock. Knock*
"Baby! Open the door!" Who it might be right now? I was surrounded by Little Monster and her boyfriend got a new outfit today. And overall, our main centre of attention, Mr. Milo! Haiz…, all the lacking brain characters are around me today! Such a suicide headache for me!
*Knock. Knock. Knock!*
F*ck god! Can't even keep the minimum patience! Huh?! "Who's there?!" I opened the door aggressively and suddenly got taken aback as I found my Uncle Ren's boss's wife's friend's friend over here! Omg, such a long relationship but still I remember.
But mainly my eyes got on her overloaded makeup face, pretending to wear a luxurious necklace and jewellery when I knew that was a sale one. Is that modern short dress okay for her age…? These oldies… haiz, haiz. Her handbag isn't worth my Milo's neckband. Most commonly now my focus is on the dog she's holding on to for a long time.
"Hi… Aunt…" Sh*t! I had forgotten her name! Wah! "Hum! Let me in now, Moon. My Petreshia will be warmed up." Petreshia? Yuck! What a disgusting name! Upon it, it will eventually get heated too! Is sunny already arrived for her sh*t face? Tsk!
"Oh. Get in then, Aunt…" Like her pet name maybe even her name might be of disgust that's why I couldn't recall from all angles.
"Call me Mrs. Bonnie, Moon." Bonnie? What… Bonnie? Oh god, my laughter. It might run into space, ha! "Who is that, Baby…– Oh, Mrs. Bonnie! Hello!" How easy for people to fake a hello to the fake riches like Aunt Bonnie. For me, it is damn easy!
My Mom soon rushed back with a water glass but that oldie Bonnie didn't even spare a glance at the poor glass water. So poor but her eyes got blind in the name of richness, which doesn't even exist in her life! "Lilly, can you do me a favour, please?" Omg, what a speed! She changed her tone in seconds when it came to a request letter, huh? Wow.
"What is it, Mrs. Bonnie?" My Mom has to address her with Mrs and this oldie doesn't even count it in before my Mom's name. How loftiness! "I'm going to Paris and I want you to keep my Petreshia for 2 days, please, Lilly." Hell in 2 days. Isn't that enough that we have Milo the naughty, Miko the Little Monster and Race the first nuisance? And now we have to add one more kinda weird human creature. Soon my house will be a zoo park then!
"That's not a problem, Mrs. Bonnie. We'll take care of it." What? No, Mommy.
"Oh, finally you accepted, Lilly. All were refusing to keep Petreshia as they already had pets with them. Thank you, Lilly." Don't we have pets then? Not one but three, three! We can easily refuse you but be thankful to my Mom's sweetheart.
"And. Petreshia only eats expensive food, takes its bath twice a day, doesn't forget about brushing its teeth too and mainly sleeps only on an expensive dog's couch. Petreshia can't sleep without AC. Take it to walk 3 times a day and also give only freshly bought snacks. It doesn't like to smell poor food. And…"
Now I understand why all the members refused to keep Petreshia. Better to kick Petreshia out of the house than to keep it here. My pockets will dry off if I began spending on this sh*t Petreshia. I don't understand why my Mom agreed to it!
"Why did you accept it, Mom?"
"You're there to take care of it, no? Baby."
Huh? How beautiful is my Mom's smile…? I'm so touched. So deep. A little but soft smile appeared on me, I let my head down and walked to the ground of idiots.
"Petreshia! Cutie, cutie, Petreshia."
"Miko, don't be noisy."
"Peta! Peta! Peta! Peta!!"
"Miko!" Eh? Peta? Who's that? I must be worried and tense over here but looking at her, playing with Petreshia's furry hair and caressing it. I understand that Peta is Petreshia's nickname now. Haiz. These kids can name anything to anything but wholly forget the real one to be addressed. "Little Monster, call it Petreshia."
"Peta!!"
"Ah! Stop screaming Miko and Race!! Idiots!"
Is even Race supporting her? Ah, of course, he does. As he is officially announced to be Little Monster's boyfriend! Huh! A glance at Peta… ah? No! It's Petreshia! Oh my, I have been attacked by Miko's effect. It was uncomfortable in between these idiots.
"Moon! Please, get me some meat for Petreshia!"
Only for this Petreshia, what about us then? "For us?" She suddenly handed me her purse and swiftly said, "For us also, Idiot." Ouch. She flicked her finger on my forehead and kicked me out of the kitchen with that foolish kind smile. Humph! Enough, no?
I literally forget everything when I'm out. Out in this fresh air – huh? Before a fresh thought could refresh my head a guy in a haste crashed into me. My hair flew in the air and the wind swung broken in with a soft response, "Oh sorry… I'm in a rush."
Uh…? Is that… My childhood crush? "Carl… Edwin?" He suddenly stood and faced me. Amazed him, quickly recognized me. His heart might have clenched after seeing me since it's been such a long time. He covered his mouth in amazement and I broke into a no-sound laugh. "Hey, Carl." He abruptly crouched down and buried his face in his lap.
I followed him with a hand on his head. "Carl…" I just can't understand why I can't stop smiling! "Idiot! Where are you these days?! Huh?" He suddenly yelped and I lost my balance and fell to the ground. While scratching my head, I responded,
"I was looking for a girlfriend for you, Idiot."
"Eh? Ahh! Stop it now~!" Oh, my cutie. That cutie face no longer suits you, Mr. Playboy. He suddenly began hitting on my collarbone with his non-harmless fists. A slight gasp of a laugh escaped from my lips and he stopped.
He stood. Forwarding his hand toward me he looked at the ground instead of me. With no hurry, I got up and he kept his hand in mine until he looked passionately into my eyes. What's that unpredictable glint in his eyes? Don't mention it, I can't bear it if a boy blushes in front of me. I…really can't if it's you, Carl.
"I…badly missed you, Moon." He held my hands and that sudden interaction of our eyes almost linked me with an ocean. Wringing the neck! I felt deja vu… It was the same dialogue from Winter at the airport… I have never been so good with people, how is it still possible for them to miss me? I don't even know.
"Oh~! Shut up, Carl. I'm not here for your nonsense."
"Ha? It isn't nonsense, Moon!!"
"I heard it, Idiot!"
There were words about him and me in the past but I heard no word from his mouth mentioning Yeran as his girlfriend or at least a single sentence about her. All long till this meat shop, the discussion was only about us… should I believe that Carl is Yeran's boyfriend? Or is that just a simple lie? Even if it was a lie, why does she have to do it?
Is she in need of anything? "Fresh meat, please." I then remembered, "Weren't you rushing somewhere, Carl?" He made a shocked indication. That means he eventually passed over his work. My god! "Sh*t! I wholly forgot about it! Oh, no!"
"Nice!" A sudden female fierce filled voice and applause echoed. I and Carl instantly turned around and found none but a known girl, dressed slay as if she was on a date with someone.
But the reaction Carl gave wholly pulled my unwanted hairs so easily without any waxing.
"Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeran!"
"She only has one 'Y' in her name, Carl. Don't add extra."
I patted his shoulder but he took advantage of my hand and unexpectedly pulled me in front of him. My heart was beating, Yeran was steaming and Carl was trembling. A sudden voice,
"She's hazardous. Save me, Moon." I slid my face aside and found his frightened face staring hopelessly at Yeran, who was kept on boiling in the casserole. As Yeran's leg extended a length, even Carl's hand kept squeezing my shoulder. I just quietly stood there, witnessing all this drama coming to pass in front of me. Being apparently helpless to my pal, Carl.
And then, Yeran was completely in front of me. "Give me the way, Moon. I need this guy."
Your boyfriend's all yours, Yeran. I wanted to slide away but Carl held my shoulder tight, not letting me off to home. "Don't leave me, Moon…" He whispered and I acted to pay deaf ears. His hands coasted down to my arms and held gently. "It's okay, forgive him, Yeran."
"You don't speak in the middle when I'm talking to my boyfriend, Moon!"
I was dumbfounded and blinking at her. I couldn't believe that I just got goosebumps. It was like my world had respectfully achieved its award from her bestie. Bestie! Being this rude to me might have a big reason behind it. It's her first time too. "I… I'm sorry, Yeran…"
Suddenly a swift move and I noticed Carl Standing in front of me and holding Yeran's wrist steadfastly. His eyes were ablaze and he was bursting out into volcano balls. "How dare you yelp on my Bestie?! If your problem is with me, then deal with me! Not with Moon!"
At this place, I didn't get what to figure out. Whether to stop Carl or to comfort Yeran. I just passed a glance at Yeran and– she was shedding tears! N-N-No! Once I made a promise to her that there would be no situation where she might shed tears because of me but… today I made the promise break. What kind of friend am I?! Sh*t!
"Stop it, Idiot. Stop it!" Shocked he, made a puzzled face at me, keeping an end to his scoldings. "Huh? Stop what, Moon?" I immediately raised my hand and pointed at his new girlfriend. Who was crying and he got blind to see her sobs?!
"Your scoldings, Carl. She's your girlfriend and my Bestie too. How can you scold my Bestie in front of me? You should politely explain to her, not scold her. You both are adults, act mature, guys."
"Stop your acting, Moon! You made this mess and you're trying to solve it! Wow, what a plan?!" Even now… are you still angry with me, Yeran? I was now wearing a long face. Though she's acting rude to me… I'm still here trying to fix Yeran to have that old Yeran. That gossip girl who would follow me everywhere I walked and fool around me calling me Babe no matter where she was standing. That Yeran who would shout at me for fighting and that girl who never left my hand though there were cactus or poisonous snakes in front of me.
Now… I have lost that diamond. I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life, Yeran…
