Ep-9
"I spent every minute of my day 'looking' at you"
"But you were never 'seen' by me"
Reize
*carefully trotting along with him*
Reize
(So this is where he lives now? The worn-off wall, the clunky doors and a window that seems like it can fall apart any day. How is he going to "heal" while living in this type of surrounding?)
Emris
Sit down anywhere you like *says firmly*
Reize
Thanks! I will make myself at home
Reize
🙄 Okay then. Have you had your breakfast yet?
Emris
Yes and we don't need to make small talk
Emris
I invited you in for I felt a little guilty letting you stand under the sun after all thr gifts you showered me with
Reize
That's just reimbursement. It's what you rightfully deserve for being with me all those years
Emris
*speaks while getting dressed up* I know but I am not as heartless as you
Reize
Come on now~ I am not asking you to fall head over heels for me (yet) but I would appreciate some dignity
Emris
I fell head over heels when you didn't have a shed of dignity in yourself *chuckles*
Reize
*sneers* Would you fall again if I do the same?
Emris
....are you hearing yourself now?
Reize
I am sorry, I didn't mean what I said. It was just a joke
Emris
I wonder though, was it sweet?
Emris
Having a little boyfriend clinging to your every word and action. Having his whole life revolve around you. And the moment you decide to drop a few licks of love, he would get down on his knees trying to drink it all
Emris
And best of all? You could have as many other boyfriends as you liked and he wouldn't even question it
Reize
*shocked* Emris I understand your anger at me and you have the right to kill me for my sins
Reize
But I have enough to pay for already, why are you adding a crime I never committed?
Emris
Still playing the fool? I am not getting dragged by you agai-
Reize
It's just Dina, I will call later
Emris
Who is she? Your assistant? She isn't a frivolous girl. She must have called you for a reason
Reize
Don't worry about it, I will take care of it on my own
Reize
(Standing up for her and smiling without a care in front of her. There is no way he thinks of her like that, right?)
Reize
Let's go already, we're running la-
Emris
Come on. I don't look that bad that it leaves you speechless
Reize
Bad? I knew it! I knew you would look handsome like anything if you wore suits or something fitting like that!
Reize
But this is a day of mourning, you sure you want to go with that?
Emris
I am the one they're mourning. It would be disrespecting the dead if they don't allow me in with this
Emris
*goes down the staircase to the car*
Reize
(He looks so goddamn handsome in that suit! I just want to hold him tight and gobble him up right here!)
Reize
*opens the door for him* After you~
Emris
*sits* why are you giving me this passenger princess treatment? I am feeling unnecessarily indebted to you even though I know these are all pointless compensations
Reize
*starts driving* Not fully pointless. This just a small act of repayment
Reize
Small things can create a calamity. Spend a night with a mosquito and then say
Emris
(Her speech has got a lot more coherent and mature. I guess time has been lenient on her. Of course, she has everything one could ask for her.....except humanity)
Emris
(Or maybe it was just absent for me. I wonder what makes others treat me like that?)
Reize
*peeks at him* why are so deep in thought? That reminds me, is this suit a gift from someone? Back in college you never wore anything except baggy and earthy colors
Emris
College is gone, I don't want to remember it every again
Emris
You are correct though, it's a gift from a girl
Reize
*taken aback* Do I know her?
Emris
Perhaps not, I never did
