Night came.
Din's vehicle ran smoothly into the highway and slid at a moderate to high speed.
It was past midnight, Verss was doing photo sessions, interviews and short commercials all day, a very busy day.
Mimin sat in the front seat next to Din who brought the car. The petite young girl with thick glasses herself was very tired and had to sleep propped up on her cow-headed neck pillow, she almost snored from exhaustion.
While Verss is sitting in the middle seat with Gale beside him. He too looks exhausted, propping his head on his hand and sleeping gracefully.
Gale shifts his seat, placing a pillow next to Verss's head so he doesn't get sore when he wakes up. But, the young man lowers his hand and rests his head on Gale's shoulder.
"Eh" Gale stutters. Verss is probably so tired that even though he's still angry and hasn't spoken to him all day that makes he rests his tired head on his shoulder. Gale adjusts his seat. It was still a long way to the apartment, Verss would probably sleep until they arrived. Poor of him, he thought. Being a model and a big artist is not a luxury, he has to work almost twenty hours a day and can only sleep a few hours each day. His body was tired, eating in a hurry, and several times had to go on a diet for photo shoots. Thankfully after this Verss will be off for two days, he really needs it.
And Gale doesn't mind at all that the young man rests his head on his shoulder, he can smell the scent of Verss's fragrant body mixed with perfume and sweat from a very close distance. He liked it very much, and slowly, raised his hand to brush Verss's front hair that fell over his eyes so he could sleep more comfortably. Din glances through his rearview mirror, he quickly returns his gaze to the front as Gale seems to notice he's been watching the man terrifyingly.
Gale just stares at Din sharply, he doesn't care, he still raises his left hand holding Verss' shoulder to let the young man sleep more comfortably on his shoulder.
Verss moved his head, it looks so comfortable enough and sleep so soundly.
...
Arrived at the apartment.
Mimin turn on a small desk lamp in Verss' room. They had arrived at Verss's apartment but the young man was still sleeping so soundly it was hard to wake him up. Until finally Gale carried him on his back out of the car in the lobby downstairs to his apartment. Gale slowly lowers him onto the bed.
Mimin covered Verss' body with a blanket.
"Oh poor baby, he must be very tired, heh, these couple of days the work has not stopped," said Mimin stroking Verss's hair.
Gale straightens his body.
"Em, I'm going to take a shower" a word was said and the big man left the room, occasionally still turning his head to see Verss who was sleeping very comfortably on the bed.
Mimin came out and closed the bedroom door, approaching Gale.
"Okay I'm leaving, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow there is no schedule so Verss could take a rest. As usual, the housekeeper will come to make food and clean the room.."
"Don't call her, I can cook and clean the room" Gale cut Mimin's words. The girl was a bit surprised because usually, Gale's sentences were no more than two words but now, he had spoken for quite a while.
"Um what was that?" asked Mimin.
"I will cook and clean the room, so don't call the staff here, they will only disturb Young Master's rest"
Mimin rounded her mouth.
"Ooh, okay, alright then"
...…..
Gale has just finished his refreshing bath, having been unable to enjoy his bath for a long time due to Verss' busy schedule.
While drying his wet hair with his towel he pushed slightly against the door of Verss' room. The young man was fast asleep in his bed, with the reading light on. Mimin must have forgotten to turn it off earlier.
Gale comes in, sits quietly on the edge of the bed and tidies up Verss's scattered blanket. Verss's tired face is visible from the fine wrinkles on his forehead, Gale raises his hand to gently massage Verss's forehead to remove the frowns.
"Heh"
He remembered what happened last night when Verss tried to run from him because of anger. The young man walked quickly towards the highway and suddenly lowered his body down when he heard a very loud horn.
"Tuuut!!"
Verss lowered his body into a squat covering his ears with his two hands.
His eyes widened, cold sweat dripping down his face instantly. The horn sounded again, getting louder. Gale immediately lowers his body to cover Verss's face with his chest, holding him tightly. He felt Verss tremble quite hard, his body shaking in fear.
"Young Master, Master" how many times Gale called his name but Verss kept covering his ears, he looks so scared.
Gale tucked Verss's hand under the blanket, probably because he was so tired made he had a panic attack like that.
Gale gets up from his seat, he also needs rest, and lowered his body turning off the light beside the bed.
...…..
It's near dawn. It's three o'clock in the morning Gale is just dropping his head on his soft pillow when he hears a loud explosion. Heavy rain, the apartment has double glasses, so it should be not too loud.
"Duarrr!!!"
The thunder shook violently.
Gale continues to sleep. Rain or whatever, he didn't care, he was extremely tired and all he wanted right now was a good night's sleep.
"Duarrrr!!"
But,
Gale suddenly opens his eyes. Heavy rain, loud noise. Without thinking he pulled the blanket off, wear his sandals and left the room.
The sound of lightning seemed to continue, not stopping.
In Versa's room.
Verss curled up on the bed with his ears tightly shut. He pulled the blanket up to cover his entire body, but the voice was still so loud as if it was right in front of him.
"Ekch" Verss looked miserable, his heart seemed to want to jump out because it was beating too fast. His hands and body were shaking, cold sweat was pouring down with his heart beating very fast and hard. He tried to gather air to breathe as if it had been sucked out until there was nothing left for him.
"Hoh hoh"
Feel like wants to die, but he can't, this is all like hell. Verss tried to cover his ears so tight but the loud sound still sounded as if it was right outside his ears. The next explosion made his body jolt awake.
"Duaarrr!"
"Ekh Ella!"
Verss could barely hold on. In a moment his heart might burst out. Until, someone hugged him, with very wide hands covering his body under the blanket.
A warm, very warm hug, even the sound of the heartbeat of the person who was now hugging him could be heard clearly by Verss.
"Deg deg deg"
"Calm down young master, I'm here, nothing will happen, I promise you, just calm down"
That voice, Gale's voice sounded clear for a moment before Verss exhausted and dropped his body, he was tired, his body was still shaking, but he had fatigue.
"Ella"
Gale hugs Verss who is in the blanket for a long until slowly Verss gradually calms down, although he still occasionally trembling.
"Calm down young master, Gale is here"
Verss's hand fell, and he fell asleep in Gale's arms. Gale takes off the blanket covering Verss's head and ruffles his hair, he's still shaking from exhaustion, but at least he can calm down and fall back to sleep, he really has lost his energy.
Gale rests Verss's head on his shoulder, leaving the position as it is but slightly more comfortable for him. The rain was still falling heavily, although the sound of thunder had begun to faintly as not loud as before.
Gale took a deep breath, it must have been a very scary thing for Verss that his body was shaking like that, like a very deep trauma, he must have suffered a lot.
############
…..The morning sun is warm.Shining in through the open curtains, it wasn't too hot but looking at the position it seemed to be a bit high.Verss raised his hand to block the sun that directly hit his eyes. His head hurts, and his throat is a little sore, is he starting to get sick?Slowly he got up, pulled his leg, and sat for a while looking around. Holding his own arm. Last night, someone hugged him, it must have been just a dream, he was too tired that everything seemed to float outside his head.Verss removed the blanket. At ten o'clock, he had slept for a long time, how long had it been since he had not felt what it was like to wake up late because of his tight schedule, he had to leave the apartment before the sun even rose."Akh"Verss was about to get up but someone suddenly grabbed his hand."Stay on the bed, Young Master"Gale, already in front of Verss, grabbed Verss's hand and helped hi
"I was nine years old when Ella took me out of that house, and we ran away. Well, it was the plan, but those people always found us. She passed away because of her illness, on the first day I entered high school. All this time, I didn't even know she was seriously ill, Ella, never told me anything" "She doesn't want Young Master to be worried" Verss lowered his head, wiped a drop of water that fell from the corner of his eye, he smiled. "Heh, she doesn't want me to worry. Ella must be felt sorry for me, that she would do anything she could to make me happy. Since a kid, she was always there, wherever, whenever, she was always there, until, suddenly she wasn't there anymore. It is so strange, when someone, who is always with us, suddenly left and makes the room become empty." Verss straightened his seat. "I, don't know my mother. But, Ella said, she loves me more than anything in this world. When everyone in the world told her to abort me, she
Gale frowned at Mimin's strange behavior. He already gets used to that strange nerdy girl who has always been like that since they first meet. Gale just going to ignore her anyway.He grab the white envelope that Mimin gave him earlier and took out a piece of paper resembling a check."How much is this? Two thousand dollars?" Gale asked handing the check into Mimin's hand. Mimi nodded."Yeah, two thousand dollars, that's the minimum price for Verss to perform in Milan, only once for an hour and a half, and it's not even full."Verss glanced at Mimin confused."What is this, Min? Do I have another catwalk-modeling job? You said Edin won't accept the job for a while." Verss flipped the cheque, but can't find the name of the giver."Where did it comes from?""That, did you remember a fanboy who shouted that he liked you? He gave you this envelope for your birthday"Vers nodded."Yeah, really, this was from him?"Mimin nodded."Yeah, there's a letter, try to read what's in it" Verss was a
Star shot Building.That afternoon Edin will meet the team from the new series that will star Verss. He has not read the script yet but according to his big boss, this series will probably give more opportunities for Verss as an actor and not a model.Journalists from various media are already sitting neatly in the waiting room downstairs, they all will be soon competing to get the most updated news about Verss and other big stars.Edin has not received information about who the main players are besides Verss, but the producer said that this person is famous enough that Verss doesn't have to worry that his co-stars are just ordinary. That is what Edin will confirm in a meeting with other producers and artist managers inside.There was a commotion downstairs, the meeting was held in a room on the second floor, and from the balcony, it was clear what caused the commotion. Verss just got out of his car and walked with Gale who grabbed his hand."Vers!"Edin was just about to enter the me
Verss tried to break free but Arland's big body blocked the way out, he was completely immersed in the young man's big body. He closed his eyes when the very handsome young man came closer and was about to kiss him. "Don't" Looks like Verss don't have the chance to say no. But nothing happened. "Auch" Arland moaned, someone already held his hand tightly, it is Gale who stared at him with his big bulging eyes. "Please watch your attitude, or I'll break your arm" Arland got up, his hand was almost twisted by the big man. "Aww you're so rude" Gale's eyes bulged as if he wanted to swallow the young man whole, Verss thought this time Gale could break Arland's hand if he didn't stop him soon. "Gale, let him go!" He was about to get up and grab Gale but, the smirk on Arland's face looking back at Gale was also quite fierce. "He" Arland turned things around, and he squeezed back Gale's hand firmly. "Hey who do you think you are? This is between me and my Levi, outsiders don't have an
Din was seriously looking at the road ahead until something was seen passing in front of him, he press the brake as deep as he can."Chiitttt!!"Vers and the others were nearly propelled forward, a sudden action that woke everybody at once, Derek, had to swiftly hold himself to avoid colliding with the back of Din's chair."Waah, oh yah, eat, eating!" The young man widened his eyes in surprise.Verss glanced at Din."Din, what's happening?" somewhat, Vers feel his chest bump fast, as if this is another Deja Vu.Mimin hit Din's arm."You want to make all of us get hurt? huh?"Din was nervous, he might have hit something, or whatever it was that crossed in front of him earlier, he turned to Mimin and Verss, and his face suddenly turned pale."Yeah, looks like i hit something."Mimin tried to look in front of their car, her eyes widened seeing something resembling a human body not far in front of the car, she hit Din's arm."That's, that, that is people, you hit someone!"Mimin panicked,
The following day. The morning air exuded brightness, as numerous pairs of small birds alighted on a tree branch before the apartment building, engaged in amorous exchanges. The symphony of their chirps imbued the morning ambiance with a revitalizing quality. Vers continued to slumber serenely in his bed, despite the advancing hours nearing noon. With the day's program scheduled for the afternoon, he was afforded the luxury of resting undisturbed. Nonetheless, a faintly clamorous noise jolted him awake, prompting a swift return to consciousness. "Pang!!" "What's going on?" Reacting without pause, Vers cast aside the blankets and rose from his bed. As he moved toward the door, it swung open from the outside. Gale already stood before him, donned in his morning cooking apron, albeit with the lower part dampened by what appeared to be vegetable broth or some other liquid. Vers remained speechless, uncertain of how to respond. Gale stood in silence, his presence a testament to the sc
Mimin screamed but everyone tried to run away, she saw that the board would fall on Verss and Arland."Vers!"It happened so fast, the falling wall sent dust flying everywhere, Mimin and the others had moved away to dodge temporarily with spontaneous movements so they didn't see what happened to Verss and Arland.However, the wall didn't fall completely, something held it down."Ohhh" Amidst the cacophony of crew voices, an individual positioned themselves beneath the weighty wall, acting as a stabilizing force to prevent it from descending onto Vers, who had leaped off the couch along with Arland. However, their escape was incomplete, and both remained in potential danger. Aarland, shielding Vers's head with his hands, and Vers himself, might still face being ensnared beneath the looming mass unless it was held back by external assistance.Swiftly emerging at the crucial moment, Gale stepped forward. He braced his back against the wall, his muscular frame evident through his sleeves,
