Lately, It's Winter Season.

Chapter 31- We come in peace.

 

I sat in a daze in the room for almost five minutes before I realised it. Running after Tiger out without a trace. It disappeared again. Only this time, leaving a heavy feeling. I came back to sit in bed and gasp. Press to call it, but as expected. No one answered the phone.

 

Turn to look at the open-air clothes of Tiger. There are many clothes in a mess because Tiger hasn't finished packing his clothes, but he hurried out first. In my hand, holding the phone, I don't know who to press to call. I think of Dan first. Bossus should be around noon. I'm not sure if he's available, so I sent a message first. Within less than five minutes, Dan called back.

 

(What's wrong with the month?)

 

"Is Dan free?"

 

(I'm free. I'm taking a break to eat with a friend. I just asked to come out and talk. The phone may not be able to speak for a long time. What's wrong?)

"Oh... Da Dan is... Well, just now, Tiger came back to the room."

 

(Pum? After disappearing for a month?)

 

"Cha, yes... Well, he came to pack up and said he was going to see you. What about Duan?" (Duan calm down first) Dan said to intervene (take a deep breath, stuttering a lot, calm down, slowly tell)

 

"I can't calm down," I said because my heart was beating fast. I have no control over it at all. "It's not just a joke, right? Like a tiger, it's just teasing the moon. No, there's no way it's like that."

 

I accidentally said to myself without realising it. If it suddenly appeared and said that I liked it, I would think it was just pretending. But it's up to this point.

 

(How?)

 

"Dan"

 

(I'm listening)

 

"Well, Suea said that he likes the month, likes it, likes it, not like a friend, but like a lover. From the first time we got to know each other," I said after preparing for about three seconds. "Dan, it's not a joke either. Duan understands why he doesn't want Duan to have anyone. Isn't it because he is attached to friends? That's the little heart that he never sees Duan as a friend."

 

(Ah.... Did Tiger tell you?)

"Dan already knows?"

(Yes, when I can see it, since we were together.)

 

"And if you can't do it, don't tell the month. How can such a big thing be kept secret! The month has always encouraged Tiger to have a boyfriend. I don't recommend anyone to give it. Make an example of someone who has an owner. I think he likes North or someone else. Trying to investigate almost to death secretly!" I accidentally shouted unknowingly, before stalling for two seconds, "Da... Wait a minute, it's a month.

 

Hey!!" Dan laughed (Ha, did you just realise that you're too much? Tell Dan how you feel now)

 

"Confused"

(Just tell Dan how you feel right now)

 

"Confused month"

(Well, ah, what are you feeling or thinking?-)

 

"No, I mean I'm confused." I said, "Now the month is very dizzy. I've been waiting for Tiger for months because I think he's angry. But talking over and over and over, I just told him that I love you. Saying that I've loved you for six years. It's from the first time I knew it was... It's like being hit by a big wave in the face, even though there was no warning before. It's a sea where the wind has always been calm. So I'm confused on the beach. I'm confused. I can't catch up with anything."

 

It's true. It's confused. It's shocked. It's helpless.

 

"Why does it like the month?" I asked without understanding. "And from the beginning, hey, are you crazy? Are you serious? So in the past, Tiger never thought about the month like a friend? Six years, fuck..."

 

In my mind, images were coming back of us together, playing games, kicking a football, reading books, and when we smiled, we hugged.

 

"Well, he never thought of the name and the month!"

(It's that hard to believe, isn't it?)

 

"Well, I've always thought about him as a friend," I said, "I've never thought of anything else. And on the other hand, it's.... Why does Duan never think about it? I have time to be together for six years."

 

(Tiger doesn't reveal, but it's not that hidden) Dan said up (If you look closely, there will be many points that feel strange. But it's just weird. It doesn't say that Tiger likes the month. Plus, it's an odd point that... If you look at it from another angle, it's not that weird either.)

 

"How?" I frowned.

 

(Like, uh, willing to give up the right to take the exam to enter the faculty by the month. One angle may be strange. What kind of person is that dedicated? Must like it for sure. However, looking at it from another angle, it's not so odd. Because it's Tiger, Tiger is a friend and still very attached to the month.)

 

"Hmm," I nodded even though no one saw it. "The month looks at the back" (Yes, but it can be seen in both ways, depending on the person. There is no guarantee that Tiger will like him as much when they call each other every day. Some people say it's strange. Friends call each other every day. However, some people argue that it's not unusual. Friends call each other every day. Being abroad alone is lonely or something like that)

 

"Ah," I nodded again. "This is to say that it is not disclosed. But it's not that hidden, is it?"

 

(Yes, another thing is that because Duan sees Tiger as a friend, he doesn't think anything. Even if Tiger hugs instead of a pillow by claiming that he is attached to the pillow, Moon may be annoyed because it's uncomfortable sometimes, but it doesn't matter.)

 

"Ah... I don't know." I held my temples. That bastard dared to harass me like that.

(Do you dislike Tiger's favourite?)

 

"Huh? No, I'm not anymore." I shook my head a lot. "No more. Who will go? Disgust people who like us. But I'm more because it's Tger.  Dan, why did you like the month?"

 

(Don't look down on yourself. Who asked like this because you think you're not good enough? Brush off this question because the person who chose is Tiger. Tiger has chosen and has never thought of changing his mind for six years. The month still thinks Are you not good enough?)

 

... I don't know why, but Dan's words made me secretly pick up a little hope and haven't changed my mind for six years....

 

(How did the month  reply?)

 

"Duan didn't say anything," I told the truth. "Tiger didn't introduce anything. Suddenly, he put it in a mess. Still stunned. The first sentence didn't go away. The second sentence came again. How should I deal with it?" I raised my hand and held my temples. "Tiger said that it was over, right? He said that it would give me a week to decide whether to open up to it or let him disappear from my life."

 

(Wow... It's considered very decisive.) Dan said in a stun (probably throw I'm out of lap, Tiger)

 

"I guess so," I sighed. "What should I do, Dan?" (I have to get rid of the shock first)

 

"Ugh, I'm so shocked... Dan, Tiger, also said that if it's not a husband, I don't want anything. Does it mean that it will give the month as a wife?!?"

 

(If, according to Tiger, said... Yes)

 

"Bastard," I leaned back and lay on the bed tiredly. "Won't it turn my life around? I want to be his husband all of a sudden. I have to become a wife, Dan, doesn't it?"

 

(Haha, let's talk about that first. Let's talk about opening up first.)

 

Dan said that he was ready to hold back his laughter. (Did you realise that he lacked Tiger?)

"Well... Hmm"

 

I accept the fact that I can't do without it. Just look at the period of months before it disappears. I'm so stressed that I'm having trouble sleeping. I want to see his face. I want to hear the sound. I'm worried about how he is. When no one agrees to tell me, I'm even more anxious. I almost quarrelled with Field for the first time. What the hell is it? Is it difficult to say where Tiger is?

 

"But he said he wanted to see him as a man, not as a friend, not because of pity or lack of" (Ah, I understand. But suddenly confessing love and imposing such a condition is too impulsive. No, it's better to call it hot-hearted. Lasting the month of talking to that person, who this person has been many times, right?) Dan said up (And as a man, how do you look at Tiger?)

 

"Wow, it's hard. Let's say you don't know each other at all, right?"

 

(Yes)

 

"Outwardly, he is a very good-looking person, good-looking, tall, and has a good personality. He looks like he has many talents. If you look at it as a man together, it's envious. I want to be like him."

 

(So if this envious guy comes to tell the month that he likes the month, it's been six years. What will the month do?)

 

Try to think about what Dan asked. "Ask, was it true before? Then why?"

(He said the reason was that he just liked it, and it's true too.)

 

"... Six years, hmm." I tried to think of being a man who I don't know who doesn't use Tiger. "Oh, it means I like the moon very much. It's reassuring to see that people are coming. I like Tiger very much, and it's been so long, but I never thought I would date this guy."

 

(Aha, it's okay. How will you answer him?)

"Let me think about it first."

 

(He gave me seven days)

 

"Probably enough to live," I replied softly. "I'll think about it carefully and then I'll tell you later." (Okay, follow this)

 

(This is what Tiger wants Duan to see as a man, not a friend, not because of pity or indispensability. Let's assume that Tiger is just a man who has loved Duan for six years.)

 

"Don't look at him like a friend? It's hard. How can you separate?" (Let's say you've never known or been friends before, so there are no other feelings involved. Suppose Tiger is just a stranger who confesses his love.)

 

"I'll try it." I'm not very confident in myself.

(I have seven days to think about it. Dan will go to class first. Let's continue talking.)

 

"Ah... Ugh," I let the other party press and drop even though there are still things on my mind. Tonight is another night that I can't sleep. However, it's no longer for the same reason. I can't sleep because I'm stressed about Suea, that he's angry until he hides away. Now I'm worried about what to do next.

 

The next morning, after school, I managed to drag North to a relatively quiet coffee shop. Sitting in a private corner, North was ordered to cycle without saying anything. Just a little confused. When I arrived at the store, I ordered something and said that I had to be a babysitter because I was the one who dragged it.

 

"What's up, what's wrong?"

"North, really asked?"

 

"Ah ha," he nodded, trying to make a serious face, but he looked back. Don't be serious. "Ask me."

 

"Do you know about Tiger?"

"What do you know?"

 

"You know, asshole." I raised my hand to hold one temple. The other side raised the Strawberry Smoothie to suck it up. "Okay, you're a very talkative person who tries to keep secrets. You're doing well, but not good enough! Because I know everything!"

 

"What!" The other party shouted even though his mouth was still full of milk green tea.

"I'm not trying to keep it a secret!"

 

"Fuck, you know." I leaned against the back of the sofa. North probably knew about it because Tiger liked to talk to North often. When I thought that the truth was that Tiger liked me, not North, everything that I was in my heart could explain. Even though North likes to talk about Tiger often, watch here and there, wait for me when I have other people. Play strange jokes and also enjoy treats, too. After the math competition, think fast, win in elementary school. Four, it's this time. I feel smart!

 

"Last night, Tiger came back to the room..." I started to tell North everything. When he finished listening, he smashed the table so loudly that the people in the store turned to look at us. We had to raise our hands to apologise and smile dryly.

 

"Why did you smash the table?" I said.

 

"It has to be like this!!" North frowned and whispered in response, making his eyes big. The face is fierce for no reason. "So what are you going to do with my captain?"

 

"Captain Kudi", I argued ", Where are you in the football team?"

"I mean the captain of Kudi's little boat."

 

"Ah," I nodded and began to understand. This doctor is the wheel of Suea. This is it. "You take full sides. You have already done it to exclude me from others."

 

"Hey, what are you going to know?" North made a mocking face at me, but I couldn't figure out why. Raise your hands and stretch your arms.

"I, I, I," He Pointed At Himself. "I Shouldn't Know That He Liked You When It's been a year, motherfucker."

 

"Why the hell?"

 

"It's very difficult. It's a small boat. The paper boat is almost sinking. Me! There is only me! The pie is alone, not that alone. There are Mick and Field, but they are not very useful. It's me!

 

Do both secretly take pictures of you in exchange for money! Feed your candy with money, Tiger and get change! Keep looking for compliments to praise it, in case you are interested in it. Come up, even though you say it yourself, spit it yourself !! Your tongue is already wrapped, asshole."

 

North shouted even though the sound was still whispering. After smashing the table, be considerate of others and refrain from making loud noises.

 

"You look difficult," I said in a low voice.

 

"It's more difficult, you know?" He turned his finger to poke my cheek, "Because of you! Because you're just an idiot!! I realised it, but I didn't realise it at the time. Plus, Tiger thought that I and Tiger had an affair, the animal, I'm going crazy! You have to try to keep this story from breaking while listening to that bastard's delusional about you! Every day! Cute Nib, the spine of the feet is as soft as a cat's feet, the eyes are sparkling, Mob Map, what the hell?

Nervous will be ironic!"

 

"What the hell?" I frowned and asked in confusion. What is that the foot? But never mind. North has lost his mind now. It's better to ask something else. "Do you know for one year?"

 

"Well, three years, three years!"

"So how do you know?"

 

"I happened to hear him talking to Field. I shouldn't have walked in that day—the day of judgment of my life. At first, I thought it was funny. But over time, I started to haunt. What kind of people will have. The most important thing is that you are fucking cute, as I said."

 

"Fuck? But I think I'm handsome."

North, who bent down to drink green tea, milk, and eyes, looked at me.

 

"Well, it's about you. What about you? You can tell me first. I won't tell him."

"Ask first," I interjected. "Why don't you tell me it's gone? Where is it? It says don't tell or what?"

 

"No," he shook his head. "We don't know where he's going. We didn't meet him, but he'll call us and ask how you are."

 

"Are you? Mick and Field?"

 

"Well, that's all the people who know about it. Oh, I have my boyfriend, another friend of mine knows. The mouth says, but he has nothing to do with it."

 

"I almost punched the bastard field.  Why didn't you refuse? Tell me somewhere."

"Pity Field", North laughed.

 

"Summary, what's wrong with Tiger?" It began to bend and shake my arm.

"Sigh North"

 

"No," the other party frowned tightly, making a pitiful face. "Aren't you going to try to open your heart? Try it."

 

"What's wrong with your feet?" I made a face. "Well, I want to consult with you. But last night I had already consulted with my brother."

 

"What did you say?"

 

"Well, that Tiger said he wanted me to see him as a man, my brother recommended that we assume that we had never known each other before."

 

"Oh, and if you've never known each other before, what would you say?"

"I..."

 

The other party made a gesture of bending over to listen to my answer.

 

'I still can't think of it. Otherwise, why would I come to consult you?"

"Ah, arrange it."

 

"Please don't be biased in favour of your captain."

 

"Sure, no matter which couple comes to consult me, I'm neutral."

******************

 

The car moved to a luxury pub. I got out of the vehicle while walking straight to the inner mezzanine floor. When I saw that it was me, the person on the way up, he bowed his head to pay respect. Open the way easily. On the top of the mezzanine floor, the most spacious, there was only Sing sitting alone with a glass with half a glass of alcohol.

 

"Sing", I called his name before sitting down on the opposite side. Sing turned around.

Look and wave to someone to prepare alcohol for me. "I'm not ironic."

 

"Just a little bit."

"Okay," I let out a short sigh before raising a glass to drink.

 

"When will you go back to work?"

"Did your father call you?"

"Yes, because you don't want the new secretary and also keep getting drunk," I said, explaining the reason why I had to come here. Sing became like this for days after Ben left. "Find Ben's address. Let people follow or... Yes, I can go."

 

Sing slammed the glass down on the table vigorously.

 

"Who ordered to find Ben's whereabouts!"

"I told you not to look for Ben."

 

"Why"

"Because Ben wants to go"

 

"Yes," I narrowed my eyes and raised my glass again. "But if you can't work like this. Dad will follow Ben back."

 

"No one should mess with Ben," Sing said in a low voice but with decisiveness. I looked away and sighed, "I'm going back to work."

 

"When"

"I don't know"

 

"Don't be too slow," I said, "I'll make it first, just give it three days, because just my part is almost bad."

 

Sing narrowed his eyes at me even though he was still raising a glass of wine.

"You also have a bad face."

 

"I confessed my love," I told him honestly. "I don't know how it will be in seven more days"

 

Even though I don't show any position, in my heart, I'm anxious. Very much. I've thought about it well enough to confess. I can't bear to see Cold love with someone else for the rest of my life.

 

I'm considering confessing, but I'm unsure when to do it. How to make it look its best. But because we had a voice yesterday. My patience is broken. Say it all that is suppressed in my heart. But when I think about it, it may be too mean and Cold.

 

The Cold looks thinner, the face is pale, and the dark eyes are a symptom of people who don't get enough rest and eat. From asking for the Cold from them all the time, they are telling you that the Cold looks stressful and the condition is quite bad, but I didn't think it's this much.

 

When I see Nao crying, I feel even more guilty. Even so, I'm secretly happy that he's worried about me. However, if I let this kind of thing go by again, it will lead back to the same loop as before, namely, I will go back to Nao. Let us be friends like old friends, Cold, have a new conversation, and become a painful memory.

 

I can't take it anymore....

 

After working for Sing for about three or four days, I returned to Chiang Mai with a physical condition that was not very good, as I hadn't rested. Heading back to my condo, which I bought. It's a place that I've never told anyone, especially my friends, because I'm afraid that the Cold will come to find me.

 

Back in the room, I leaned back on the bed tiredly before I fell asleep. I woke up irritably because I heard the bell at the front door. I couldn't get up to look. With fatigue, I intend to rush away the person who might disturb me. I pressed the button on the screen next to the door.

 

"Don't stir"

 

I'm about to press the button to close.

 

"Tiger! You're here too!"

 

My eyes widened at a familiar voice; the drowsiness disappeared. It's all gone.

 

Cold....

 

Xia ! How can you be here? How do you know that I'm here? And why are you here!! Didn't I give you seven days? It's only been four days! Or are you going to refuse!! No, no!

 

Scream! I lay back on the bed, squirming nervously, and forgot to close the speech button, which made the voice on the other side clear.

 

"Tiger! Please open the door! I'm Cold," Nao said. When he didn't answer anything, he started ringing the bell again. "Tiger! Are you just now? You don't have to avoid me. Do you want me to stand and talk like this alone? Open the door for me to enter. Aren't you afraid to disturb your neighbours in other rooms?"

 

Never mind the neighbours.

 

It's better to care about someone about to become just your friend than to be confused. The Cold guy has to say that we can be friends for sure. Otherwise, it's not in a hurry because it's easy to make a decision. If you open your mind, you have to think a lot and spend a lot of time. Before this, you won't be a best friend again! I don't want it anymore!!

 

"Wow, did you disappear? Shit, Tiger, I'm good, animal, we're here. Peacefully, we don't hurt you. Please be open to us."

 

It's Cold, ringing the bell a lot.

 

"Pizza is coming!!"

I didn't order! Plus, I can't use this excuse in time, it's Cold!

 

"I said pizza was delivered. You, Hawaiian animal. Have you ever eaten it? Or do you want your face to look like a Hawaiian!!"

 

This time he threatened me...

 

"Tiger! I'm angry!"

 

Damn, we haven't seen each other for more than a month. My mood is still as easy as before. After a while, I started to hear the sound of Nao kicking the door. Wait, do this, and the guard will drag me away. Or I will be scolded by the neighbours. Before I can do anything, I hear the Cold moon crying.

 

"Oh! Oh! Don't answer then, brother. I apologise. I didn't mean to. I just came to see you. Just a friend, oh!" I rushed to open the door immediately. Seeing Nao standing alone, ready. The face is so well.

 

"I have to play a drama to be attacked first, right?" I quickly closed the door, but the Cold pushed my hand in first.

 

"Ouch!! You animal! The door clamped my hand!

 

"I'm sorry, sorry, does it hurt a lot?" I pushed the door and said. Apologise before the brain can process it again. I extend two hands to hold Cold’s hand next to the door to see. But pushed into the room before the Cold managed to close and lock the door amid my confusion.

 

"Na-"

 

Before he could call the name, Cold took out a bouquet of roses that was stored in his pocket and struck me in the face until the bouquet of roses broke.

 

"I agree! Let's try it for a while!!"
