Sacred Love : 18       

    The sun was slowly fading behind the thick clouds before soon the thunders started to storm. 

    House was filled with the sound of rain drop falling down while the glasses were pushed up on his nose by his own hand.   

  Mr. Xin sighed keeping the files away.    

The hurry preparation around in house was kind of filling the emptiness in this big mansion.  

   "Are the preparations done yet?" He asked as guard nodded.    

His wife smiled as she kept the water glass down on the table. 

    "The preparations just started, geez. It'll take some time"   

  she said rubbing his shoulder making him smile and take the glass to drink the water.  

   "In fact it's our Pie's birthday!" Uncle walked in smiling as Mr. Xin chuckled.  

   "Stop that. I'm not young anymore" Mrs. Xin laughed as Mr. Xin mumbled.  

   "Ah where's your Angry son?" He said wiggling his eyebrows as Mr. Xin sighed.  

   "He's in his room, maybe sleeping" Uncle raised his eyebrow. 

    "he must be sleeping like always" he walked towards Zal's room as Mr. Xin took the files again.   

    "Did you prepare the announcements as well?" He looked up at his secretary who sat opposite from where Mr. Xin sat.   

  "Yes sir, I've prepared the complete process and here it is"  

   he handed the file as Mr. Xin smiled bright.    

"Great , then" he said as the secretary bowed before walking downstairs. He looked towards Zal's room as the guard gulped.  

   "Sir I think, he's still sleeping..I'll go and see"     Mr. Xin nodded as he removed his glasses getting up.    

Holding the file, he opened it immediately checking if there's anything that was missing.    

Smiling to himself he looked up at Zal's room.     "It's time for me to do this"     

        "What do you need, popo?" He groaned as he brushed his teeth inside the bathroom.   

  "I need nothing. Just get ready in a formal suit.

We're going to help everyone in the preparations." 

    Zal rolled his eyes before washing his face with cold water.  

   "Hurry up!" Zal's eyes widen as he coughed.     "Are you crazy, I'm still cleaning my face!" He exclaimed as uncle laughed.    

"Stop, popo. Go now. I need to get my clothes" Uncle smiled to himself in satisfaction before looking at bathroom.    

        "Well, I got your dress ready. Get down when you're ready!"

He said as Zal hummed immediately taking off his shirt , ready to shower with warm water.    

His eyes closed as he stepped in under the water that started to fall on him. 

    His hands pushing back his hair sighing.    

Taking a breath from out of shower, he took the shampoo feeling his body releasing all the stress under the hot water that are soaking his tired body.   

  His hands slowly applied the shampoo to hair before it slipped in his eye.  

   Groaning and laughing afterwards, he moved his face closer to shower washing it but then, his body just froze feeling the water around his body.   

  His eyes closed as he felt that same feeling of panic which he always gets.  

   His lips trembling feeling the laughters around.   

  His eyes searching for a person to see around but all he could see is water.  

Flowing all around. 

    He's in a deep sea he couldn't understand where, his eyes turned to somewhere where he caught her.   

  Again?    

    Watching her with himself far from where he was.    

His heart started to beat fast making his breath heave.   

  His hand clutching tight into a fist as he stared at how her eyes closed.  

   she was laughing feeling his arms around her waist.     

.His lips against her neck as she hugged him feeling the tides getting stronger. 

    "S-stop-" her breathless voice making him frown.       

    "Wait what!" He opened his eyes breathless since it's been seconds he didn't breath out. 

    Gasping for air immediately, he walked out of shower after washing his hair and himself.      

Patting the moisturizer oh his face and neck to sink in , he sighed.   

  His body was getting cold and cold as he felt it inside his body.   

  Patting his cheeks gently to get the warmer , he pushed his hair strands back from his forehead.  

His wet hair was suiting his face so well as the mole on his forehead on display. 

    His lips wer getting dry as he licked them taking out the chapstick.   

  He looked up at himself and he couldn't look away for a second.    

Not because he admires his own beauty but... There's something strange with his hair.  

   He got a little mullet and he's not liking it. 

    Not after what gotten in his mind.   

  Her in my arms...Zal why you're getting these hallucinations.  

   His fingers clutching the moisturizer tight as he bit his lip looking at himself.   

  No no no... I can't let this happen with my mind.

     I need to keep up with my plans today.   

  He smiled to himself but he couldn't help but see himself with the long hair he just seen himself with in a sea... 

her laughing with him. 

    His heart was beating like he was on a race or something.  

   He couldn't help but ignore the fact he can't even spend a day without thinking about her.               

Damn , why you're always haunting me.  

                                 ________________     

     "Here we are" They three got out of the can as Lia sighed tired as hell since it was four hours travel from the hospital since it was almost near Busan.   

He got out before looking around the big apartments.    

His heart was beating fast as he kept his hand against it making lia look at him confused by his actions.  

   His eyes looked up as he looked around again.  "What's this place?" His stern words made Lira raise her eyebrow.   

  "It's where we gonna live. An apartment. A house...walls you know!"   

  She said and for sure the sarcasm was visible in her voice and her actions. 

    Chewing her gum, she rolled her eyes taking his suitcase and walking inside the apartment but then, 

       There was an hand upon the guys chest stopping him from going any further.   

  He looked up at the person and lia turned around about to yell at him again for not coming fast but then her eyes widen.       

          The landlord raised his eyebrow as he looked back at lia and lira.  

   "Bringing boys to home, what do you think? Lodging eh?" Lia spoke up immediately feeling his tugs Against her shoulder from behind.   

  "Uncle, he's my friend's Cousin. His cousin couldn't money to stay here so she sent him here and told us to let him stay for some months.

He has came for auditions" she said out of breath.  

   Landlord's eyes eyeing him up and down as he looked back at lia feeling uncomfortable.  

   "Ohk but ugh why he's acting like he doesn't know anything" lia looked at the guy as he looked back at her and the landlord.   

  "Hey, I'm talking to you" landlord said as The guy looked at him. 

    "Me.." He asked as Lia face palmed herself. "U-uncle, he's actually not in stable mind-"  

   "I'm not talking to you" he groaned as Lira whined internally.   

     "What's your name huh?" He asked smirking.     "I'm Adan" he said as Lia's eyes widen.  

   Adan?   

  She frowned before her eyes caught the name upon landlord's wall as an advertisement.   

  She was about to burst out laugh but she closed her mouth giving out a polite smile.  

   The guy smiled cutely as lira bit her lip about to laugh.  

   "Your boy is sure upon something" Lira nudged lia's arm with her elbow making her widen her eyes and nudge her back to stop.   

  "Oh... What you do?" His eyes lit up in surprise before looking at Lia which made her smile nervously.   

  "I love my mom"  

   she choked on her own saliva as she coughed hard making the landlord's attention turn to lia where he forgot what 'adan' just said.    

           The door opened as Lia glared at him before walking towards the kitchen throwing all the utensils in sink making loud sounds.   

  Walking out of kitchen, she again glared at him making him look at her dumbfounded until lira came out of her room as well.   

  Looking at both of them, she cleared her throat.   

  "C'mon adan, now sit here" He looked at her and that wasn't the innocence look he gave Lia.  

   "It's not adan"

he sternly stated walking towards the coach, sitting upon.   

  Her eyes glaring right at him as he looked at her and looked away. 

    "Why mom is angry?" He whispered to himself as Lia's eyes closed feeling her body burning with Anger again. 

    "Don't you dare- are you crazy!"

She said in anger as He ignored her looking at the balcony that has parrots and a small cat. 

    Lia frowned before stomping towards him.    

"You-"   he stood up walking towards the glass door.   

  Touching it with his finger tips he looked through it feeling the coldness.  

   Her eyes softening as he tried to push it but since it didn't open, he kneeled down where cat sat.    

Touching the glass where the cat sat from outside, a small smile upon his lips.  

   His eyes slowly disappearing when he smiled which surprised her.  

   Her eyes just watched him do the innocent moves which were for sure indicating he's not from anywhere she knew around 

"He's so beautiful like a feather"

his eyes looked up Before slowly turning towards her.  

   "Thanks" her eyes blinked as he stared into her eyes.    

The shine in his eyes all of a sudden made her stumble back.

"What the hell.."  

   He smiled tilting his head. "People always say that" his hand slid down the glass.  

     Her eyes wandering around his features as he kept his hands behind.   

   he leaned against the glass looking down.    

  He was hesitant to say out what he want.    

She want him to just talk to turn away because if he just stare at her with those eyes she couldn't stand still.   

     Lub dub lub dub lub dub-...Oh my god.. that's strange Lia wth..   

  She thought biting her lip.  

   "Lia , I need-" his words were cut off in between as Lira walked in mumbling words.

     "Jesus Christ! I'm hungry you penguins, cook something!"  

   She yelled walking into living room and sitting on couch.  

   "Shit, I forgot my laptop-" she looked at Lia who was staring at the guy while he's looking at Lira.    

"Lia! Get my laptop" she said loud making lia flinch slightly. 

    "Y-yeah sure" she walked towards the bedroom turning away but then her face turned to look at him.   

  His eyes turned to her but those eyes held such strong control over her body which made her head bump against the wall.   

  "Ah!" she rubbed her forehead running into her room.  

   His lips curved up into a warm smile as his hands shined through the glass wall.     

   Wow, I'm shining again.
