Chapter 4: Memories

...ARCO...

..."Let me go!"...

...I still complained and pulled my hand away from this bastard, but he didn't let me go; he just dragged me like I was a kid. ...

...It's such a shame that I can't do anything to punch this man in the face....

...And after a long walk and dragging me, he just stopped, causing me to bump his back....

..."Ouch, that hurt. Why did you just suddenly stop?"...

...I'm not complaining because he stopped; it was like I bumped him. I don't know if he was solid as rock, but it was damn hurtful....

..."We are already here; look around."...

...He said my small eyes were wide because, for the second time, I saw them again. It's a little insect that lights up in the sky; it's a Firefly....

...It is so rare to see this kind of insect nowadays. I think the last time I saw this bug was when I was 10....

...While I was enjoying the view, the b*stard called my attention, and I just rolled my eyes at him; he was such an attention seeker. I totally forgot about him because of the view....

..." What?"...

...I rudely said to him:...

..."Come here, have a seat."...

...He said, And I look to the center of these fireflies. They were flying in a circle motion, like they were making a sphere. At the exact center of them......

...I saw one table and two chairs, and it was filled with light. There was also food at the table. So he's really not joking about this date that he's talking about....

..."Seriously? You're really a b*stard and also a lunatic. How could you do these things?"...

...I mean, how could he make this kind of setup in just almost an hour?...

..."How could you? You know what? I don't even know you well, and I'm not into men. Can't you feel it? Dude, I hate you."...

...I said to him, This guy's f*cking Crazy!....

..."Really? You're not into men?"...

...He said it and acted like he was shocked....

..."Of course I'm sure."...

...I proudly said that, and I saw him grin. This b*stard is really creepy....

..."Then how can you explain when you kiss a man in your 4th year of college?"...

...He said, and I raised my left eyebrow because of what he said, Me? Kiss a man? C'mon, I don't remember doing that....

..."Do you want to kiss my fist?"...

...I tell him to show my fist, and he just smiles at me....

..."How could you forget that day? In front of my classmates and my teacher."...

...I saw a pain in his eyes when he talked....

..."You said that you like me, and you're willing to wait no matter how many years if I don't accept your love that day."...

...He said that, and I just looked at him with a confused face....

... What did this f*cking Man just say? I'm not gay enough to like him! ... I mean no way!...

...I shake my head and look at him....

..."Stop talking about your nonsense story, Morie. I can't remember anything I said to you or whatever crazy things you're talking about!"...

...I smiled sarcastically at him and put my hand on my waist. I was confused by what he was saying—it's totally nonsense. Furthermore, I need to get out here....

..." You know what? I'M leaving."...

...I told him I would turn away from him and start to walk away from him, but I was shocked when he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him....

..."Maybe you can't remember now, but I will make you remember all the memories that you have forgotten. But before that, let's eat first."...

...He said to pull me again and take me back to the table....

..."Please take a seat."...

...He told me and then drew the chair. I don't want to be with him, but there was a part of me that wanted to know if he was telling the truth....

...I just rolled my eyes at him, and after that, he sat in the opposite direction....

...He opened the main dish for me and smiled before giving me some food. The main dish is a Tuna fillet, and I showed him my emotionless face. I want to eat the tuna that he gave me because it's my favorite dish. Yes, I like fish, especially Tuna....

...But because of my pride, I controlled myself and decided not to eat it, even though I wanted to take a bite....

..."What's the matter? If my memory's correct, I think you liked fish. Correct me if I am wrong."...

...He said that, and I raised my left eyebrow again....

..."How sure are you that it was my favorite?"...

...I silently said this to him and rolled my eyes at him....

...How could he know this kind of thing if we just met this morning? Or maybe he asks one of my students, but how does my student know about it since we don't eat tuna here? Tuna is quite expensive here, so we can't buy it....

..."Still don't believe me? Just like I said a while ago, I know you and you know me."...

...He said to cut the tuna into four pieces and prick it with a fork. And put it in his mouth. ...

...With that, I couldn't help but gulp four times when I saw him chew it, and he closed his eyes and felt the tenderness and juiciness of the tuna....

...My mouth opens just a little, and I'm salivating. I'm craving the tuna since it looks delicious. I know because what I'm seeing right now is that he's enjoying it, and all of a sudden he looks at me with my mouth open....

..."C'mon, eat the tuna; I know you're craving it."...

...He invited me again to eat. But still, I can't....

..."Hey, don't worry, I didn't put anything on that; I don't want to put some love potion on it since you've already fallen for me since college."...

...He said that and winked at me. And I just look in the other direction to hide the reddish color of my face; in other words, I'm blushing....

...It's not because I'm in love or because it was so easy to make me blush, and I hate this kind of reaction....

..."Hey, did you just blush? Don't tell me you already remember it....

...He said, and I looked to him, maintaining my surly face....

..."Blush? Who's blushing?"...

...I simply said to him, Good job, Arc, act dumb. But instead of getting pissed, he just laughed at me, and I was shocked when he pricked my cheeks. I slapped his hand on my cheeks....

..."Are you crazy? Who gave you permission to pinch my cheeks? Huh?"...

...I rudely said to him:...

...And he kept on laughing....

..."What's so funny!?"...

...I feel annoyed at him because he keeps smiling and laughing, even though I already said he uses unnecessary words....

..."You're so cute when you get pissed; you're still so easy to blush, huh? Nothing has changed about you, Arc; you're still the Arc that I knew."...

...He said that, and I touched my face and felt it so warm....

...I turn my head so he can't see my face anymore. What the F? I really hate this face. Why was it so easy to blush?...

..."I am leaving now."...

...I said, and I don't care what he's saying, and I just ran away from him. And before I run away from him, I hear him shout something....

..."Arc, you became even more cute when you blushed! "...

...I stopped for a second and left. Oh God, what did I do in my last life? For experiencing this embarrassment! I really hate you, Morie!...
