Just like that time, after positioning Drea's body comfortably leaning between the soft pillows, Yorris patiently took a bowl which from the smell Drea could guess was chicken porridge. When Drea confirmed what food was in the bowl, it was indeed normal food.
Drea was touched.
"Eat, I'm also a good doctor who won't let his patients die."
The taste of the porridge was delicious, and Drea eagerly chewed the food. "You should apologize," Drea spoke between her chews.
"No."
"Then I'll never want to see you again."
"I will continue to appear before you," concluded Yorris. Drea wanted to hit him on the head but was prevented from eating.
"I'm sure Mr. Zeinir isn't planning anything bad at least for now. We are being chased but once we leave his territory we are free. Mr. Zeinir is ambitious, if he wants to research you then he will chase us until he can."
One more spoon Drea eat it, but instead of eating Drea looked annoyed because Yorris had eaten her food. The man's kindness was half-measures, Drea ate then Yorris also joined in the meal.
"I'm hungry too. I tried hard to take care of you. It's not easy to fix you, if I'm late you won't be able to move for a few days."
Drea's eyes bulged in horror, she would never go to see Mr. Zeinir again. Drea is scared and traumatized.
A bowl of porridge together with the same spoon, Drea smiled thinking it was an indirect kiss. They were practically kissing already.
"Don't you want to thank me?" Yorris said after they finished eating. Drea, who was too tired of serving Yorris, immediately did what the man wanted.
Cup.
Yorris froze when something soft touched his cheek. Immediately the man pranced with a red stain on each cheek.
Yorris is a little boy who is happy to be given candy. Drea secretly smiled.
That night Drea slept soundly accompanied by warm living bolsters.

"I can't Lucy, I don't want to go anywhere. I can't leave my job."
"But Sister, Dad wants you. This is only temporary, once the situation gets better you can go about your normal activities."
"I'll be more careful. You don't need to worry." Drea convinced Lucy. She does not want to go abroad.
Going abroad with someone just met is not something Drea wants to do, even if that person is her little sister. She didn't trust anyone including Yorris. At least Yorris' grandfather was indeed an admiral of the navy, which convinced Drea a little that she was quite safe with Yorris rather than Lucy.
"I was here last night. Yorris said you needed to rest. Sorry, I just came now."
"It doesn't matter I know you're busy." Drea smiled kindly. Yorris' grandfather's house was a safe place second to her and it felt good.
"All of this is for your own good Drea. Or do you not trust your sister?" Zaris asked.
Drea grumbled in his mind. Nothing yet she's already been asked such a question.

"Okay, you go with them and I will keep an eye on you," Yorris said when Drea came for advice. Drea didn't run out of options, she was on purpose. She quite trusted Yorris, especially after her relationship and Yorris's grandfather got closer.
Hanging out with the two of them wasn't as bad as Drea thought, instead Drea smiled easier. Life becomes more colorful.
"After all she's your sister. Get used to being in troublesome situations, that way you can train your psychic abilities. Being able to manipulate people's minds, create your own world space, and see things that others can't see is cool. You're becoming a bit like a foster mother and your mother."
Looks like Yorris has forgotten his own words about Drea having to be careful with Lucy and Zaris. Drea also didn't want to mention that considering Yorris wasn't a normal human species.
Yorris positioned his hands behind his head relaxing on a chair while in his other hand was cotton candy. It licked the cotton candy incessantly like they were its life-sustaining food.
"Don't be afraid, face problems, and don't run away," Yorris said, smiling crookedly.
Drea chuckled, Yorris couldn't be serious. The simile the man used didn't match Drea's problem either. Yorris only made Drea dizzy, not better.
"Shit, that's what people who push women into difficult situations say. You son of a bastard."
"Hey, this is for your good. Up ahead..." Yorris pointed forward as if there was a shadow of Drea's future that would happen. Yorris is not a future angel who determines destiny. "Sooner or later you will face the darkness of life, your mother and your adoptive mother have experienced it, and I am no exception," said Yorris.
Yorris' way of speaking just right succeeded in provoking Drea's anger.
"Tch, you talk as if you've seen hell on earth." Drea rolled her eyes. As usual, Yorris didn't act according to the circumstances.
The man shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "It's not hell, I just saw the fire of hell. Dad left Mom and I never saw him again. I heard from grandpa Dad went to take care of the company, that's all."
"Oh." Drea only gave a short response. After a few seconds, she felt uncomfortable. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Yorris chuckled, his hand waving like it was nothing to be concerned about. "No problem, we have almost the same problem. Besides, I don't think about it too much."
"Oh."
Yorris smiled crookedly then continued eating cotton candy.
"So what's your decision?" Yorris's eyebrows raised one side on purpose to tease Drea. Likewise, Drea didn't take Yorris seriously.
"I still don't want to, even though we're still in this country and not go out. Come on, I'm safe in this house." Drea whined almost wanting to sit on Yorris's lap and asked the man to stroke her head. Had their relationship been so close Drea probably would have.
Pride slapped Drea back to reality. She couldn't lower herself for that. Too terrible.
"No. Grandfather has gone on duty, stop behaving spoiled."
"Ya!" Drea's index finger pointed at Yorris. The man raise an eyebrow while smiling mockingly, Drea gave a fuck finger sign to Yorris.
