Chapter=29(What did he see in him though?)

…

Newmoon slightly opened his eyes when he felt the sudden movement occurring to his body. Through the gap of his glued eyelids, he saw the masculine figure of the back side and heard the little humming and mumbling voices as though there were somebody else too. His vision was uncleared and the whole world seemed slanted. Before he went to sleep he somewhere saw the handsome face of Aiden.

"Oh! Maybe I'm sleeping on the bus! I wonder when will I reach home! When did hyung ride on the same bus as me….??"

He passed out.

…

An unknown time had passed. The sun had already set and risen on the European country while there was no hint of a newmoon waking up.

Newmoon finally showed some sign of moving on the bed. Slowly he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the huge white cloth resting on his forehead.

"?"

He jumped out and screamed, "AHH~"

Hearing him, A voice echoed from the other room, "Oh! You too know how to scream?"

The footsteps became clearer as the person was approaching.

Aiden appeared.

His lips turned into a twisted smile. Emitting an aura of a satisfied and proud look.

"How does it feel to be scared too? I know you were silently looking down upon me thinking I'm a coward or chicken?"

Although he couldn't say it. He was indirectly giving him the taste of his own medicine.

His memories flashed a masculine back part and the maiden's handsome face. He instantly looked around. His mind alerted him to be cautious.

The bed he was sleeping in was average.

Judging from the size and panel of the room, it seemed to be someone's bedroom. The bed he was sleeping in was average size. It was made up of wood, which wasn't high quality too! It probably was just so-so. Neither there was any decorative antique like they had in their grandma's home nor much furniture. It means,

"Rest assured. We're in one of our friend's houses!"

Only then did his heart calm down.

Newmoon hadn't guessed it was one of the hotel rooms cause it was way too shabby and out of design for it to be. And neither one of his property cause he had a natural talent and love for design.

So, that left him to agree on the last part which was the exact place.

A friend's house.

But which one?

As far as he knew there was only one whom he would always hang out with.

A horror grew in his eyes.

One eye slanted and 'boom' he was there standing next to Aiden.

"…"

He was trapped in bewilderment. Didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

Crossing the arms, Aiden naturally explained the situation on behalf of haemin, "Ya know you passed out in the bus station."

Newmoon, "?"

A voice-first rang in his mind, "WTF? p-passed out? Me?"

How come? The last scene he knew before naturally closing his eyes was caused by sleepiness and drowsiness. It was volunteered. Not being unconscious.

Little did he know it was only a half-truth.

In reality, when he successfully fell asleep, haemin started a call.

"..Hello?"

He gave a glance at the sleeping dead body of newmoon.

"Um. He is fine. Surprisingly he is asleep-"

"THUD"

Newmoon fell on the ground. The pillar could no longer hold his heavy head and body leading to a falling. But what was surprising happened afterward. The body who should be moving and screaming in pain was no longer moving or showing any series of shouting.

"??"

It was complete silence.

Haemin rushed at him. A cloud of worries covered his face as his expression grew serious.

"N-Newmoon..? Can you hear me?"

He tried to wake him up several times but he didn't show any sign. One by one pedestrian starts to create the crowd and began to wonder what happened to the poor boy out of blue. At last, he didn't have any way but to pick him up, call the cab, inform Aiden and let him rest in his apartment.

Newmoon happened to wake a little when they were taking him out of the cab.

"Aren't you supposed to take the patient to the hospital instead?"

Although he was asking Aiden his question was directly targeted at haemin.

The only thing he lack was a little courage. After all, he didn't have any face left to show him.

After all, he wasn't in a place to bargain further.

Haemin approached him and passed through him, who was still plopped down on the floor.

"Do I need to take you to the hospital for that?"

Haemin approached him and kneeled on his right leg, He landed his right hand on the edge of the bed while the other hand was on the left thigh supporting his body.

Newmoon, "?"

He slightly leaned at him and whispered in his right ear.

"The patient just happened to pass out from extreme blushed."

Newmoon flushed. His ears turned red as he lowered his eyes in embarrassment. He saw. He saw everything and yet he pretend not to. It was already weird and strange to have him so close. And then his sarcastic answer…! He caught him totally off guard.

Haemin slanted his eyes in contempt and an ending sentence of 'Nothing more' was hung on that cold gaze.

He shivered silently.

Then in the next movement, with a 'FlAP' haemin took off the mattress from the bed in one go.

"I know right? I thought it too. Like you mention I even asked him to reconsider it to make sure?"

There, Aiden was taking his time still pondering about the previous question when newmoon almost passed out again from embarrassment.

Haemin folded the mattress into a small size and gave a glance back at newmoon. The phrase, "Do I need to take you to the hospital for that?" was written in his distant eyes.

By that ended term of '..hospital for that?' was 'hospital for blushed?'

Newmoon almost choked. This guy named 'Haemin' was not an easygoing person. He only had a few interactions with him before but didn't get a chance to introduce each other. So, he had no idea about how his personality sucked. It's a good thing, he knew from the start. 'Handsome men/ beautiful women always have shitty personalities' and that moment the reality hit him off once again.

Furthermore, one thing he learned today about him was, 'I hate him.

"But then he told me...it's just from the exhaustion and lack of sleep. Nothing more!"

Aiden was more or less fixated on the same topic.

…

After a long day, newmoon returned to his house along with Aiden at around late night. The distance between newmoon's and the haemin's house was 3 stations away. But it wasn't the reason they became late. The entire fault was Aiden's. Although newmoon tried to nag him to get back home the fact he was awake and all fine. Ignoring his presence, Aiden kept on talking to him. Does God know what type of conversation they were having? Each second newmoon spent there felt like a million years. He didn't like haemin after all.

Without bothering to sneak into the grandma's room or perking his ears to their whereabouts inside the house, he silently slides into his room. Aiden and he parted the way as soon as they entered the door.

Forget about food or water, newmoon directly hopped onto the bed. As if the soft mattress soaked all of his tiredness and hunger, his body floated in the lightness.

The side of the lips curved into the smile.

Yes! it was what he wanted to feel from the start. Nothing in the world could beat the feeling of being in bed. If he was being taken directly to his room from the station then the chances would extremely be high of him being fit.

He turned around, his head facing upwards.

"But again, I'm sure Aiden must have his reasons for taking such decisions and actions."

He muttered under his breath.

Guessed what? It was true. Aiden knew unnecessary rumors would roar up once his grandma's and let's say their neighboring relative came to be aware of it..? it would be a disaster. Newmoon would be the star overnight. And Jina's antagonist.

From time to time, Aiden finds himself in thoughts of what if his grandma would be in the field of journalism. She would shake the entire history of the entertainment world. She could swirl the relationships of the couple, turn the two sisters/ brothers against each other, and file the divorce case in their old age..all because of spilling nonsense and creating misunderstanding.

Compared to the rest of the family members, Aiden seemed way too unbelievable to be reliable.

Sighing out loudly, he closed his eyes hoping to let his body cover all those sleepless nights-

Suddenly, a large dazzling pair of eyes flashed in his eyes.

He widened his eyes in shock, "??"

Their eyes reflected the brightest flower he saw in his entire life.

"Ba-dump~ Ba-dump"

Heartbeat?

He could almost hear it. Then, he saw the thin arms of her, approaching his face and touching his lips…leaving him all shuddered.

~Ba-dumb~Ba-dumb~Ba-dumb~

He flushed again. Not knowing what to do he wriggled his body and buried his face under the pillow. Hoping to hide from himself!

"…"

"What's this?"

Familiar yet unfamiliar old feelings soared on the shore of his heart.

With a long pause, he slowly let go of the hands he was tightly grabbing on the pillow.

Subconsciously, his freed hands ended up touching his lips.

"????"

Catching himself red-hand newmoon soul flew from his body quickly as though it didn't want to stay on his body anymore.

"What immoral act did I just commit?"

Was the first thing he mumbled with his eyes and shoulders seemed to fall into the unconsciousness level?

"AAAGGGHHHH~~~~~~"

He screamed in extreme humiliation and cringed, without moving his lips. He died internally knowing something.

He shrinks down gradually and plopped down on the bed once again whispering in complete surprise.

"I-I…Her?"

He liked her.

His heart knew it ever since he first saw her in the class when she first sat beside her, and then took the initiative to talk first too. That her kindness and heart-fluttering face would be made him fall for her one day. Who knew it would this fast?

That's why he kept on ignoring her, secretly patting his heart and manipulating his thoughts by thinking the sigma rule.

He had no idea. It was normal until he met her on the Han-river bridge. From that day onwards weird things kept on happening to him, and people kept getting attracted to him out of nowhere.

Newmoon lowered his chin and look at his hands, the same hands April gasped and made him follow her.

"…"

It was at this moment that he knew he fucked up.

He hopelessly laid down with his ears all red. He didn't try to resist his feelings against her anymore and continued to listen to the heartbeat of his own.

"It's been a while since my heart has shaken up like this…in a good way!"

Blinking twice, he admits it.

"Sigh! What do I do now? Is this what they called love?"

He placed his heart in his chest, feeling the muscles retracted and extracted.

"It only beats furiously when her face flashed in my eyes."

"Otherwise won't!"

"I bet my face is all flushed up like a ripe tomato."

He touched the cheek area and felt his hands burning instead. It was fucking hot. For the first time, he felt his face burning without fever.

"?"

"Is that why Hyung put the white wet cloth in my head earlier?"

Frowning his brows he asked himself.

"Goodness grief. I wonder if April felt the same temperature when she touched my lip* ahem*"

He coughed hysterically to remain still.

"Did she feel it hot..? or my expression spilled itself-?"

Before he got the chance to finish his assumption cold and stern eyes of haemin popped into his mind.

Newmoon's blushed face suddenly came to halt. "…"

It was a total mood. Just from recalling his face once did all of his emotions vanished away.., then imagine. What will happen and what sort of destruction would occur in his heart once he was with him?

Even earlier at haemin's home, all he did was laid in the corner of the room, slightly curled up questioning the taste of Aiden Hyung throughout the whole period when they were chattering with each other.

"What did he see in him though?"

"He is such an unpleasant to eyes."

Pounding his mouth, he waited unmoved. If not for Aiden Hyung, he would've long lost his cool and walked away from his home ages ago.

"The patient just happened to pass out from extreme blushed."

Recalling it he copied in a weird copycat manner. His mouth turns and twists upside down. Not only did he steal the way of haemin speaking but also did some hand gestures. Like swaying his hands in mid-air trying to mimic the way of folding the mattress-!

"-?"

"wait!"

His mind came to a full stop, Pupil's shaking.

"Did he just pull off the mattress because I slept for half of a day?"

His jaw dropped to the floor. He couldn't believe his interpretation too.

Strangely enough, it was a truth.

"Haha!"

Newmoon broke out in laughter. Not because he was happy or gone crazy, but because he had officially made him his enemy.

"What a shameful act did he do to me? I'll make him pay with interest. Just wait until Aiden Hyung leaves!"

He grits his teeth and made a promise to himself.

Haemin was already on his bad term at the starting point but when he did that, newmoon successfully put off the motive to save for such humiliation.

Thankfully Aiden didn't seem to notice that. Or did he pretend to act like not?

He left that to Aiden himself. At that point, it didn't matter whether or not Aiden noticed. It was a question of pride, ego, and self-value. Haemin destroyed his ego without touching a single strand of his hair.

Thus, the new relationship started from then.

…

With heavy loud footsteps, Aiden rushed to the newmoon's room.

'Bang!'

He opened the door in one go. In another word, he broke the door.

Newmoon turned his head in shock, "?"

He clearly remembered unlocking his door before he entered the room. So how?

Instead of apologizing for the sudden invading the privacy of another's life and the breaking g the lock of the door, he protested in an agitated face, "Newmoon, why didn't you tell me that you're leaving your for your hometown tomorrow?"

Newmoon, "?"

For unknown reasons, Aiden was acting weird that day.

His hair was disheveled, and a desperate expression hung on his face.

"Oh, about that I was about to."

He casually respond as he lazily stretched his body and began to move ahead towards the door.

Is he..losing his cool? It was a sight that was quite rare. His reaction was slightly lower than the incident day though.

And regarding about question…Off course!! Cause He didn't even want to spend another second inhaling the same breath as them. Though he wanted to tell that still he hold back and half crouched his waist to examine the door lock if it was still in the position to be locked or not.

"When?"

Aiden turned at him. His tone grew serious.

"When you're about to leave the house at the last second? When you're about to take a ride on the bus? Or when you're a step back away from your house door?"

Hearing such long questions in less than a half minute made new women ponder in dazed. Honestly, it didn't matter or it wasn't his concern whether he tell him or not, went or not. At first, Aiden seemed all flustered cause he forget to mention him. And his getting irritated also seemed reasonable. But the second question and the way he was reacting seemed pretty unreasonable.

During the period of living together to this day, newmoon never saw him losing his cool.

"What does it have to be with him now…?"

He asked himself.

Newmoon frowned his eyebrows as he glared at him, "?"

As thouAidenden realized his behavior, he lowered his chin and sighed deeply, "..Never mind"

Looking at his watch, He announced, "Quickly get ready. We're gonna leave in sharp 10 minutes."

His voice commanding.

Newmoon, "?"

Before he could open his mouth to ASA's further questions surprisingly he find himself riding in the fancy car. No- it was a public bus. Along with Aiden, who was beside him seated casually.

Newmoon was seated on the window side while Aiden was at the side.

Raising a brow, Newmoon asked, "Where are we going Hyung?"

"Hush! It's a secret- anyway now that we're about to reach the destination point let me tell you!"

A pulled a cunning smile on his face, "Shopping!!"

"Shopping?"

Newmoon's jaw dropped on the seat, his body frozen on the spot.

"W-What am I? A girl? Why do I need to do shopping?"

His thoughts questioned Aiden.

Aiden nodded hysterically, "Yes! shopping. You can't return to your hometown with empty hands can't send you bare-handed!"

Multiple assumptions rose in his head as his system began to load in his mind. Why the sudden…shopping? Where it was coming from? Perhaps grandma sends him through on his behalf of them?

He took a good look at him.

"Or, Did he feel pity towards me?"

Newmoon secretly clenched his fists as his eyelids lowered in realization. The fact he knew every single thing about their family made his heart wrinkle. It was embarrassing. There wasn't a single good reason why would he go against his family and side with Jina noona and him. Was it kindness or out of pity?

"Oi Newmoon!"

Aiden softly hit him with his elbow.

"What are you thinking off? Look at that tall building across that café."

Aiden randomly pointed a finger outside the window.

Following the direction, newmoon glanced at the tall building as he suggested.

"?"

"That's one of our buildings. A 'DREAM HIGH ENTERTAINMENT' Of the Seoul."

Newmoon's eyes went blank. It was one of the most famous entertainment in the entire country. Almost 40% of the total celebrity contented from there.
