I Know Her

After having dinner, the four of them return back to the Sun House.

Joe joins Akiko and Loula watching some drama series on the television while Nigel returns back to his room.

Aaron went back to his isolation room and resting. While Chase took a bath and change his attire before he walks to Hazel's wing and knocks on her room door.

After a few moments, Hazel open the door.

"What's the matter Chase?" she asks.

"Can we talk?"

"Sure. Come in." she pulls the door to widely open it.

Walk inside her room, he takes a sit on the single chair facing her.

"We bros agree to let Aaron stay at this house."

"Okay..so?"

"He needs a room."

"Mhm.."

"And there is only one room left."

"No, he can't." 

"Hazel..it's been years... let it go..will you?"

Hazel shook her head making Chase stand up and look at her face.

"Move on Hazel.. you said you hate him, but you never let him go. Forget about it okay?" he caresses her cheek gently.

His voices sound a bit sad while trying to persuade her.

"It'll be okay. Its all in the past now." he brings her to his embrace.

…...

After Chase returns back to his own room, Hazel goes to Aaron's isolation room on the first floor.

She knocks on the door. After a few seconds, Alan opens his door. Without waiting for his invitation, she invites herself inside the room.

"Here is the revised bill for you." Hazel pass him a file.

Take the file, he looks at the content once again.

'It is all accurate. All the details were recorded in this data.' his eyes suddenly fix on the 'Lee Pharma' word. Somehow, he feels familiar with the word.

Ignoring the word, he diverts his eyes back to Hazel.

"I still don't have any money to pay you. But I will start finding a job and pay you back every month. Is that okay with you?" he searches her honey color eyes.

"Didn't you said you want to find your identity?"

"Yeah, but traveling without money is troublesome."

"So, you want to stay here?"

"Well, I don't plan to. But all the boys insist me to staying here."

"Pay me your rent. Find a job and pay me your rent and medical fees. Is it possible for you?"

"Well, yeah. Thank you so much."

"Don't thank me yet. You need to clean up and make us dinner too."

"Excuse me?" he frowned a little. Clearing her throat, she said again

"I said you need to clean up our house and make us dinner."

"Uhh…Why?"

"Because I said so."

'Witch!'

"So?"

"Fine."

"Deal. Move out your belonging. I show you to your room." she takes the file from his hand and flips it on the last page.

"Oh, sign here. Your payment's planning." she points on the edge of the sheet.

Take the pen, he signs it without much thinking.

She then led him to the right-wing. It's a bit hidden from all other rooms.

She stands in front of the door. Taking deep breaths, she opens the door slowly.

"This is your room from now. This room is actually attached to my room. But, I will lock the door from my room later."

"Okay, that's all," she said and ready to go.

"Uh, one more thing. Don't touch the things inside the closet. I'll arrange another closet for you." she turned around and look at him.

"O-kay.."

"Hmm. That's all. Here is your house key and room key." she rummages her pocket and gives the keys to him.

"Thank you, Hazel."

...

In the middle of the night.

Aaron was having a nightmare. He dreams about someone. Someone was shouting his name but there is no voice behind it. He was at a very dark place and cold, sunk down to the darkness under him.

He could feel a hand try to pull him up. A small hand trying to save him, but later, the hand loses its grip and there he thought he heard her voice. Only the buzzing sound made his head hurt.

He opens his eyes and found him sweating heavily on the bed. He sits up and walks to the bathroom. Washing his face.

When he walks back to the room, he sees Hazel's figure walk inside his room and lay on his bed. He frowned a moment.

When he wants to call her name, she suddenly curled up his body and cry. She clenches the comforter tightly as her body starts to trembles and she starts to sobs loudly.

Feeling a bit sad to look and hear her cries, he walks out of the room. When he reached the hallway, he could see Chase and Joe were sitting on the couch in the living room reading his book while Joe watches the TV.

He then walks downstairs and sits near them.

"She cries again?" Chase asks making Aaron dumbfound a moment.

"How do you know?"

"I know her. For years." his eyes still fixed on the book.

"Hm. Yeah, she looks so sad." Aaron narrowed his eyes to the floor. His heart ached a bit seeing the vulnerable her.

Chase put down his book and turned his head to Aaron.

"Anyone who'd be in her position will feel exactly as her too," Joe said to him.

"What happens to her?" he asked curiously making Chase and Joe sigh.
