"Chapter 51 end of season"

[5 days later]

I'm listening to Vienna by Ben Platt while doing my work, I can't think straight because I finally met my friend after many rough years without him, I don't have the intention to let my friend go again. I'd rather kiss my own butt than let it happen. That sounds exaggerated but yes, I am willing to do that.

Though I should stop thinking for a while because I am taking too long to work. After that banquet. I got a lot of famous customers: celebrities, actors, actresses, and influencers. My sales got up thanks to them, they gave me 5-star reviews because of the quality of my products.

They even compared Clinton's past products to those now, I'm glad they gave me good reviews. But. A review took my attention, a 1-star review, saying. The quality is bad, the fabric is rigid, and easily gets ripped.

They bought a leather couch, and our leather doesn't get easily ripped unless they use some tools.

ugh

people who have nothing to do with life are the worst, I closed my eyes as slow dancing in the dark started to play. I can't explain how great this song is, It's unexplainable, but it has a good vibe.

***

I opened my eyes very slowly as I heard some familiar voice screaming my name beside me, who the fu- it's Tenshi. He was smiling broadly as if he was proud that he did that. "What the heck do you want? how did you get in here?"

"your secretary let me in"

"you snuck in," I raised my head and stretched my body while sitting on the office chair, "exactly, and everyone was unaware, you should really change your security,"

"Yeah, I think I should," I considered before yawning, "do you know what time is it?" Tenshi asked me as he began to roam around in my office, "What?" I asked, "it's past your leave, duh," I stood up from my chair, "WHAT?"

---

"you didn't know?"

"I have no windows in my office,"

"how suffocating,"

I stretched my back once again while hearing satisfying cracks, I followed Tenshi around toward a white car. Is this his?

"Is this yours?" I asked with a tilted head, he just glanced at me with a glare and a creepy smile, and he took out the car keys from his flashy polo.

The car unlocked, well, I sounded like a bastard. Good thing he can afford a decent car.

"When did you learn how to ride?" I asked, "I have to learn for my job"

"what's your job?" I asked another question,

"secret," he answered while driving seriously, my lips parted and ready to ask another question. "Where are we heading?"

"dinner, duh"

I want to tape his mouth because his tone annoys me but I don't have the tape with me. It's suspicious because a flashy guy like him, has a "seem-to-be serious" job, that's kinda ironic.

"do you work as a secret agent or something?"

he flinched. BINGO. So he is working into some agency, does that even make sense. "Where are we heading?"

"shut up just listen to some music," he opened the radio and went to his playlist named, "gay for you". Is he serious? The first song that played, is very calm and it seems like it was sung by Melanie Martinez. After a few seconds, I feel comfortable

"love everything you do, when you call me freaking dumb for the stupid things I do~"

"Wanna ride my bike with you,"

(Training Wheels by Melanie Martinez)

"FULLY UNDRESS NO TRAINING WHEELS LEFT FOR YOU!" Tenshi suddenly screamed his heart out to this lyric. I suddenly felt like shit after hearing his off-note singing... end me now.

he began tearing up like some weirdo crying over their ex while listening to sad songs.

"you good?"

"NO"

suddenly another song came and it's called Undo, it's another goddamn sad song-

"UNDO~" he shouted while driving

"STOP FOR GOD'S SAKE"

***

we're finally at the restaurant, but the thing is, I'm in front of Tristan. Of all people, you invited my ex, Tenshi!?!?!? I looked at my food uncomfortably.

"So, how's work, Klein?" Tenshi asked me

"It was good," I dryly answered.

***

I looked at freaking Tristan who was sitting in front of Klein who was cutting his steak, he said he wants me to drag Klein to dinner and now he's being quiet. Unbelievable. Not Eros assigning me as his love employee, I don't have anything to do with these two, but I have to fix their friendship if the relationship became tiring for them.

ugh, love, am I right?

Klein nibbled his food with less energy, It's my treat and you're chewing your food like that- I look at Tristan who was secretly staring and admiring him. I looked at him up and down and looked at Klein above. he shook his head because he was acting shy. BULLSHIT-

"I have to go to the bathroom, I'm feeling sick"

what a lie- I feel like, in a romance drama that needs some awareness of how they love each other, Tristan would probably grab his wrist like in those K-drama's

Tristan tagged along after Klein got far enough, I sighed while eating my food alone.

God, when will I find love~~~

***

I ran outside of the restaurant with knotted brows, I can't describe how my heart was beating, I can't explain why because I don't know. I can't feel anything.

Tristan followed me, I look behind me because he was panting hard from catching up, "Klein,"

I backed away knowing it will be no use if you come back, I was love-bombed that's not gonna happen again. Never. He grabbed my wrist with a desperate expression on his face and pulled me close to him. I feel disgusted at the same time, he gently raised my head with his tender hands. I looked at him with my nose scrunched. I don't know if I should feel disgusted or sad or even angry at him. I'm not sure what to feel.

"you're married, please back away,"

"I am not. I will never"

"you hurt me so bad that I could never fall in love with anyone anymore including you,"

"then can we go back to zero and try once again,"

"you have a fiance, Elista, my sister,"

"and, I don't love you anymore." I pushed him away from me but his grab became tighter and I felt trapped by him. "Why are you making that face then?" he asked.

What face was I making? Do I look sad? happy? angry? I'm not sure.

A tear left my eye, Ah, I was. I am crying?

Why am I crying to a bastard like him?

"give me a chance to make everything right, Leaving you hanging made my life upside down,"

"so you want me back because you want your life back? you don't have to pretend to love me to gain back your balanced life."

"It's not what I mean, I should've rephrased it,"

"go on, tell me what you want to say then?" I squinted my eyes,

"Give me a chance, it won't happen the thing I did to you again."

Showing a desperate face like that is cheating. Cheating I say, I sighed.

"If you're able to make me fall in love again within 100 days, you're winning life. If not, bye-bye"
