"So that's what happened," Sofie said, ending the conversation. She sighed and once again held Sebastian's shirt.

"Do you understand now? I'm not silent because I like it, it's because of my shame and fear of being annoying." Sofie was still tugging at Sebastian's shirt, as if she was seeking attention from him.

After hearing a fairly tragic story, Sebastian became a little uneasy and compassionate.

'So that's it, this girl went through a lot of hardships because of her cute face and popularity, but I actually thought that she lived a good life. How stupid I am.'

Sebastian felt a little guilty, he didn't think that such a famous, popular, calm, and cold person had such an unpleasant past.

He cursed himself for thinking that Sofie lived well, but after this he came to his senses. Living being followed by people, living looked at with a flirtatious look, ostracized because a little special is quite a sad life especially Sofie is just a little girl.

She is not a man who can endure any pain. No, no matter men or women, everyone has their own limits. Sebastian is sober about it all after hearing Sofie tell the story.

The young man looked at Sofie who looked down and looked sad, he didn't know what to do so that Sofie could calm down.

However, there is one thing he yelled at. Yes, Sebastian stroked Sofie's head once again. Gives warmth from his big fingers.

Sofie could feel the sense of comfort and warmth from this young man's stroke, she was very different from men who only saw her face.

The hand kept moving in all directions of Sofie's head, from all the ends of Sebastian's hair doing it all with a smile. Inspire so that he can calm down for now.

Sebastian is by nature quite sensitive to someone's feelings, although he is not very sensitive about love life.

Tears dripped down Sofie's cheeks, but this was not a cry of sadness quite the opposite. Sebastian's caress was too warm to make her moved. She felt that for the first time he had such a precious person.

Sebastian's calm eyes and smile faded when he saw the water droplets creeping through Sofie's cheeks.

Sebastian lowered his hand and lifted Sofie's chin, as if he was about to kiss. However that wasn't what Sebastian wanted, he wanted to see Sofie's expression and he was shocked because she suddenly cried.

Sebastian's thumb wiped away tears with a warm smile that calmed down, Sebastian asked,

"Why are you crying?"

"....."

There was still no answer from Sofie, she was still crying. Since the water wouldn't stop coming out, Sebastian once again wiped with his fingers, he didn't insist on answering. This young man just waited until Sofie calmed down.

"It's not a cry of sadness, okay, don't worry. I'm just glad you turned out to be that considerate, as I expected you to be very different from many people I met. You are too warm."

The face that was full of sadness before now smiled very purely from the bottom of my heart, giving a perfect face that was extremely adorable.

"Only you are special to me."

Feeling the heat all over Sebastian's face decided to remove his hand from Sofie's chin, he also felt a calm feeling from that smile and even his heart didn't want to stop pounding like he wanted to remove the taste.

With his cheeks already scarlet, Sebastian turned his face and held his chest tightly.

'Damn, too cute!'

That's right, that's all Sebastian has in mind at this time, it's not wrong to think Sofie is cute or beautiful, it's not natural if you are not interested in Sofie's face, but Sebastian is not stupid like other men, he doesn't think too much about faces, maybe that's why Sofie is interested in Sebastian. A man who never tries to approach her and confess his feelings.

In the afternoon, the time has become a little dark, indicating that it has become night, in the middle of the situation tonight, there are only Sebastian and Sofie, right, only two people. Sofie's eyes looked still wet, but they calmed down a little. Meanwhile, Sebastian didn't want to look at the girl anymore, be careful if he received an attack with damage.

And there was not a single conversation between the two of them. The situation quickly became awkward.

'Damn, what should I do? This situation really sucks.'

Sebastian tries to take Sofie's back and once again takes damage, Sofie gives a watery gaze but with a slight smile, unfortunately it only lasts a few seconds. After that, their eyes did not meet each other.

In both hearts, there is a strange feeling of warmth even though they are only at a distance that is not too close. Both Sofie and Sebastian, their two hearts beat enormously.

In the midst of awkwardness Sebastian turned around and said,

"I-let's go home soon, you are afraid of men and people's gazes, right. I'll accompany you, okay,"

Just one sentence managed to reverse the smile on Sofie's face.

"T-sure, I'm counting on you Sebastian."

"T-t- but before that I have something to say. Can you wait a minute?" Sofie's eyes lit up slightly, her red and trembling lips made Sebastian unable to look away.

"Yes, sure."

'What does she want to say? wait if I wrote this story I will definitely make a shooting scene, don't tell me the Author-san will do the plot?' thought Sebastian.

"Sebastian, will you help me?"

'Huh, what. It turned out to be a normal thing' Sebastian sighed, quite relieved, but on the other hand a little disappointed.

Sebastian looked at Sofie once again. "Help what?"

"You've heard my story at length, so will you help me heal this shy and quiet nature." asked Sofie with a bright red face.

"I really feel like I can do anything in front of Sebastian, it feels like if you want to accept me for who I am. That's why I want to ask for help."

"So are you willing to help me." Sofie closed her eyes, staring down. Maybe she was afraid that Sebastian wouldn't help her.

"Of course, although it would be a bit of a loss if your funny side was known by others."

"Honestly, I prefer your cheerful side. And honestly I want you to show that side just for me."

Sebastian said two sentences that came purely from his heart, but he was too honest, As if aware of what was said just now, Sebastian's face flushed, Sofie was exactly the same, this girl trembling couldn't help but feel unhelped.

"Sory don't mean it like that" Trying to avoid sebastian shaking his head very quickly.

"No, no need to apologize, if you like my cheerful side then I am happy to show you even every day." said Sofie with a bright red face, like a tomato.

"W-what? So what about getting rid of your shyness?"

"I'm still going to do that, Sebastian definitely helps."

"M-m- I mean .. The man I will give you a smile and a cheerful side to is just you."

"Thank you!"

After that, Sofie tried to hide the heated cheeks by walking down and passing Sebastian who was silent.

"W-What are you waiting for? Let's go home!" asked Sofie who was replied with a nervous nod.

------------

In the middle of the night the two young men and women smiled and walked together, as if the world belonged to them. These two people kept walking and joking.

"Oh, yes Sebastian, this is about my question just now."

"Question about what?"

"About me reading your novel. Is it okay?" Sofie brought her face closer to Sebastian's. So close that even Sebastian could feel a sniff from Sofie's nose, she saw a white face, long loose hair and glowing eyes.She was really like an excited child.

But, Sebastian's mentality was too weak, he quickly looked away.

"Of course you can, but tomorrow, remember? tomorrow. Not now!"

Sofie looks cheerful, she laughs very happily.

"Hurray! Hooray! Thank you, I look forward to your story,"

Seeing the girl beside him excited made Sebastian have a feeling that was hard to say, he can be said to be full of happiness now.

Time had passed, after five minutes they finally arrived at Sofie's house. Sofie's house looks a little majestic, with a solid roof, gray paint and lights surrounding the house.

"Bye, bye, Sebastian,"

As if Tirelessly Sofie was still very cheerful, she waved her hand towards Sebasitan and entered the house.

Sebastian looked at Sofie who had entered the house with a look that didn't know what he meant. In his heart was filled with a strange feeling of joy, happiness, and akwakwarad. he was very happy that Sofie wanted to show her hidden nature to Sebastian,

But the sense of happiness disappeared quickly, Sebastian thought. Maybe she can give her comfort, but what if after Sofie can get rid of her shyness and open up to someone, Sofie no longer wants to be with him? What if after Sofie didn't become shy anymore, she found a more suitable and cool figure than Sebastian?

In the end, Sofie is a popular person, she can easily make people like her, a normal Sebastian is unlikely to be commensurate with a popular girl. If someone knew of their relationship, Sofie's reputation quickly vanished.

Sebastian desperately wanted to avoid it and also he had experienced the same thing, someone he trusted the most easily betrayed him. Is believing in Sofie a good thought? Sebastian is very trusting with others and very easy to manipulate.

Although he hates this thought, but deep down, Sebastian thinks that Sofie is only using him to relieve shyness, if Sofie can get rid of that trait. Sebastian is sure that he will be thrown away like trash.

"Damn!"

Sebastian then left with his mind full of it.
