What Is Love?

Rafael parked his motorbike at a cafe not far from Veterinary care. He bought two cups of coffee. After paying, the man walked towards the veterinarian. Enter through the back door.

Just like when he killed the deputy mayor, Rafael also went into the basement. Passing through the narrow passage to a large, brightly lit room.

The room feels so cold, the air conditioner is deliberately set to a temperature below average so that the spread of bacteria and viruses is slower. The entire wall is covered in green tiles so that the moisture in the basement is maintained.

The room looked deserted too. Only the sound of the monitoring device for vital signs sounded stable and also the hiss of the respirator as a means of breathing aid. The sound of the piping sounded regular over and over again, it was deafening to Rafael's ears.

Apart from the cooler, there is also a large refrigerator, generator, large long table, cupboard, and several chairs. A separate room with glass doors, where the bed and medical equipment were located. A man is lying on it. Rafael looked at the man with sad eyes. The atmosphere fell silent again until a greeting broke the silence.

"Hey!" V appeared, still wearing a white coat and his vet badge. (Regina, Vet.)

"Hey, V," Said Rafael.

"Did you bring the money?"

"Yes, this one." Rafael nodded then threw the bag filled with money at V.

"Half yours, half mine. Use mine as usual." Rafael looked at the woman.

"Good." V pulled the bag and put it in the safe.

"How is the condition?" asked Rafael.

"No progress, S." V smiled wryly.

"If only I had arrived sooner if only L didn't risk his life to protect us!" Rafael clenched his fists and hit the wall, channeling the frustration inside his chest.

"Be patient, S. We will keep fighting so L can get up."

"It's been 10 years, Vipers, 10 years Light coma, lying stiff on the bed. There was no sign he would wake up." Rafael shed tears.

"Are you going to give up on his life?"

"No !! Of course not, V. I will avenge Light, I will bring K here, make him bow in front of Light !! Until then, I will not let my brother die." Rafael held in a rage.

V nodded in understanding, the woman was a medical expert, a genius doctor, and the number one in the medical academy. The poison expert is also the antidote, so her team mates call her Vipers, a type of poisonous snake.

Rafael, Albert, and Regina, pseudonyms for Shadow, Gunner, and Vipers. They are the former from the omega team, along with Light, who is currently lying in a coma.

Ten years ago, their team commander, King. Carry out a conspiracy and want to get rid of the four in a dangerous mission. Only Light who realized a mistake, hunted the King alone, trying to bring the man down. But Light's strength is not comparable to King's, Light dies when his three other comrades find his whereabouts.

Gunner detonates the plane in an automatic flight method with his hacking skills. Take off all of their attributes and put them on the enemy corpses. The government seemed to think the omega team was dead, shot by an enemy missile. Now the three of them live in the shadows. Their identities were disguised under their pseudonyms and professions.

Now the three of them become assassins. Rafael always uses his income to support medical expenses for Light's life. There was never anything left, Rafael couldn't make money for Jasmine, everything was spent on his brother's treatment.

"Light is my only family." Rafael looked again at the poor man.

"Don't be silly, you have a wife." V pulled the corners of her lips as if sneering in annoyance.

"Jasmine, ah, you're right. I ran out of birth control pills for Jasmine." Rafael remembers that the vitamins for Jasmine have run out. The content of the vitamin is a contraceptive medicine.

"Until when are you going to trick that poor woman, S?" Regina unloads the medicine cabinet near the refrigerator.

"I didn't trick her, V. She wanted to be my wife herself. I had no choice, she kept on tailing me and disturbing me. I couldn't move freely while working." Rafael sat on the bench. Indeed at that time, getting married was the best way to avoid Jasmine's curiosity about Rafael's figure.

"You are crazy."

"You have the perfect guise, G as Father and you are Veterinary. I'm also just looking for the perfect guise. A kind husband who loves his wife." Rafael stared blankly at the ceiling. He is not as good at speaking as Albert or has medical expertise like Regina.

"Don't you love her one bit? You've been together for almost a year." Regina throws a bottle of her concoction drug at Rafael, a birth control.

"I don't know what love is. What is feeling, I don't know V. The military academy never taught it." Rafael bowed, he was always confused when asked about love and feelings.

Rafael is an orphan, only lives alone with his brother L. They roam the streets, becoming delinquents from childhood until they are caught by the government. Entering a military academy from an early age, becoming a trained soldier. Rafael has already killed his heart, his feelings are numb, especially after killing hundreds of humans with his own hands. The only feeling there was fear of losing Light.

"You will understand later." Regina got up and patted Rafael on the back.

Rafael paused, still pondering Regina's words.

What is love?

Does he love Jasmine?
