Chapter 4
They both settled down in the living room.
For Key, his living room is also used for dining.
Theo Loren, ML
Your apartment is small, how can two people live here?
Key Jushia, MC
Shut up, could you?
Key Jushia, MC
I don't need a cup of your opinion, just eat and leave.
Key gave him the food and Theo took it.
As he took a look at the foods in front of him, he stared for a few seconds and went back to the person who'd cooked it.
Theo Loren, ML
I...is this edible?
Key Jushia, MC
Don't worry, I've followed one of the witchcraft ingredients from my sister's favorite book.
Key Jushia, MC
It is safe, and if ever you die because of food poisoning, I'll bury you alive.
Key Jushia, MC
So ate it or leave it?
His tone was full of sarcasm.
Theo Loren, ML
*Pouting* I'm just asking, it looks rotten...
Theo Loren, ML
Anyone would eventually ask if they're gonna see the appearance of your cooked foods.
Key Jushia, MC
You're saying too much, finish it or leave it.
Key Jushia, MC
I don't have a whole day watching an idiot.
Theo Loren, ML
You're mean!
Key Jushia, MC
What do you mean, I am mean?
Key Jushia, MC
I'm always mean.
Key Jushia, MC
I'll go back to my room and expect once I'm back you'll be gone, got it?
As Key Jushia stepped back into his room, the cool air enveloped him, a welcome respite from the stress he'd just left behind.
He closed the door behind him, the soft click of the latch and a soothing sound.
His eyes scanned the familiar space, taking in the tidy furnishings and the faint scent of fresh laundry.
With a quiet efficiency, Key began to freshen up, his movements practiced and precise. He washed his face, feeling the cool water revive his skin, and changed into a crisp new outfit.
As he dressed, his gaze wandered around the room, taking in the quiet stillness.
But as he turned to leave, his eyes landed on a small piece of paper on the living room table.
It was a note, scribbled in hasty handwriting.
Key's brow furrowed as he picked it up.
The note itself was brief, just a few sentences that seemed to hold a hint of urgency.
I appreciate the warm sleep last night. Thank you for the foods that I thought were not edible. People shouldn't really judge the book by its cover, it was a delicious breakfast...
As I promise, I'll never gonna let you see me again, even one strand of my hair.
Your Honey,
Theo Loren
As Key's eyes scanned the note, his gaze landed on the signature - Theo Loren.
Key Jushia, MC
*Chuckles* How dumb he can be?
A wry smile spread across his face as he chuckled to himself.
Theo's messages were always brief and to the point, but this one seemed particularly... cryptic.
Key Jushia, MC
Though he's handsome, I'm not into men.
Shaking his head, Key folded the note and tucked it under the sink, on top of a stack of old receipts and forgotten reminders.
He didn't have time to ponder Theo's words now, he was already running late for work.
With a swift movement, Key slipped on his shoes, grabbed his bag, and headed out the door.
As he locked up, he felt a sense of normalcy washing over him. The routine of his daily life was a comforting anchor.
