"Hey Rain, what are you doing here? Why are you alone in this park?"
Rain was stunned and his hand movements suddenly stopped. He turned around slowly and saw Forth approaching him. The man who was bigger than him sat next to him.
Rain can smell the masculine scent of cinnamon and musk from Forth.
"I thought you were in the club with your gank. Why alone here?"
Rain looked at Forth with furrowed brows. "You yourself, why are you here? Your friends are probably getting drunk at the club," Rain said bluntly.
"Well! I'm bored," replied Forth flatly. "The club's been getting crowded lately, and I just want to walking around and I saw you here. What are you doing?"
"Looking through the flyers," Rain replied, pointing to some of the pieces of paper in his hand. "I wasn't in the club mood either, and Pharm and Kit weren't there anyway. They were busy entertaining their boyfriends."
Forth caught the bitter tone in Rain's sentence and became curious about it. Since entering the beginning of their third year at Metronomia University, Forth had met Rain alone several times. At the club, at the mall, and occasionally around the medical college, as he passed it on his way home or in his spare time. Pharm and Kit are rarely seen with Rain anymore, after they had a boyfriend.
"Why don't you find yourself a girlfriend?" asked Forth half muttering.
"Hm? What did you say?" Asked Rain.
"No. What flyers is this?" Forth leaned towards Rain and took a look at the flyers in Rain's hand. His sharp nose almost touched Rain's cheek.
"Apartment? You want to move?"
Rain nodded. He didn't dare turn his head because he was aware of Forth's position which was very close to him. Forth moved away from him and he was surprised when he realized, there was a slight feeling of disappointment in his heart because of Forth's movement.
"Why, Rain? You don't feel at home in your apartment right now? Haven't you been living there since the beginning of college?"
"I just wanted to try something new. Do you have any recommendations for a suitable apartment?"
Forth laughed and tilted his head. "It's like fate. I'm also looking for a new apartment, actually."
Rain's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
Forth nodded. "Want to look it up together? We can rate each other the apartments we see," Forth said.
"Sure. Tell me, what kind of apartment do you want?"
"Not too close to campus but not too far, two rooms, with living room, kitchen and dining area and balcony if possible."
"That sounds like you're looking for a house, Forth."
"Hm, maybe, if there's a suitable house, I'll take it too. What kind of apartment do you want?"
"I don't think it's much different from what you described earlier."
"What time do you finish school tomorrow?"
"3 pm."
"I'll pick you up, then. I'll bring an extra helmet for you. Are you oke if got my bike? Its more practical."
Rain nodded and cleared the flyers on the garden table. "Uhm, Forth, you think we need this for the hunt?"
"Just keep it for a while, Beam, maybe we need some recommendation, too."
Rain nodded and he kept that flyers in his bag. Forth chuckled, find that Rain so cute, act as obidient kid to him. Well, Rain is always cute from his eyes.
"Did you have your dinner?" asked Forth. He look at his watch. "It almost 9. I am hungry."
"Not yet. I was to drowned at my work and that flyers. Want to grab something?"
"You choose."
"Pizza?"
"With meat and pineapple as topping?"
"Yummy. Let's go."
Forth and Rain walked side by side on trotoar from the park to the pizza restaurant. They decided to walked because the restaurant just near from their dorm and the park. Beside, the night is still young and the air of the night feel so fresh.
"So, how's your study lately?" askef Forth while chewwing his pizza. "You look thinner."
"Well, no more tiring than the engineering kids' schedules I guess. Sometimes I feel like professors are meant to torture students, by putting assignments on hold and deadlines getting tighter."
"Yeah, same with me. All the lab work schedule is crazy and I am so tired from the assignments."
"You are the head hazer this year, aren't you?"
"Hu uh. I hope I can say no, but ... yeah, I am."
Rain chuckles. He patted on Forth hand on the table. "Be strong, Forthie. I believe you can handle everything better than anyone."
"You do?"
"Of course. You are the Jamorhnoom by the way. Hell, who didn't know that name? The biggest and strongest taipan in Asia, and lately I heard that your bothers start their expansion in medical machine to America and Europe? Wow!"
"You mocking me, Rainy" Forth frowned hard. "You are a Vongviphan, too, king of fashion industry all over the world."
Rain laughed. "No! Its all the truth, regardless of your family background. You are the best choice, even if Metronomia had a Sotus system in all campus, not just in engineering. You were man, born with power, strenght, and ability to lead another to glory."
Forth looking at Rain and smiling wide. "Thank you, Raun. You praised me too much, actually, but, thank."
"Just stay safe and keep healthy, Forth." Rain patted Forth's hand softly.
Forth and Rain chatted about many things over dinner that evening. Forth ordered an extra pizza when he saw how quickly they finished the pizza on the baking sheet.
Its almost 12 when Forth escorted Rain to the lobby of his apartment and confirmed their promise to find a new apartment together tomorrow, before walking towards his own apartment which was located not far from Rain.
Forth walked while humming. It's a very bright night, Forth thought. Like Rain's bright eyes.
Meanwhile, Rain had the same thought as he lay down on the bed staring at the ceiling of his room. It's very bright night. Like Forth's wide smile.
