CHAPTER 2

Aku who was sitting in front of his study table was in deep thought, he was remembering his meeting with Zara in Dez Café. 

"sign…" Damon noticed his best friend and roommate in deep thought. "Dude, do you have a problem?" he asked while looking at his friend who keeps being silent, and did not notice that Damon is calling him. 

"Jason!... Jason!... Bro?!" Damon keeps calling him but Aku does not hear anything like he was in another world. "JASON! BRO WAKE UP!" Damon shouts beside the ear of Aku.

Aku who was startled fell in his chair, he looked at his friend "Why are you shouting bro!". Damon looked at his friend sitting on the floor and smirked "Well… Nothing really…" Aku who is standing glare at his friend. 

"Bro don't look at me like that!" Damon said teasingly. "I looked at you like this because it is your fault JERK!“ Aku said in his mad tone while sitting back on his seat. 

"Bro why are you mad? I called you many times but you did not budge at all" Damon said with a face that was wronged. Aku dumbfounded, looked at his friend and then continued what he was working on. 

Damon walked toward his bed and looked at his best friend. He smiled and looked at his phone. "Feeling embarrassed bro?" Damon asked while doing something on his phone.

Aku looked at his best friend who was texting someone "not really… Should I tell your girl that you are bullying me?" Aku said with a teasing tone. 

Damon suddenly looked at Aku with his shocked expression. "What with the face?" Aku asked in confusion looking at his friend's dumbfounded face. 

"Well the word 'my girl' really sounds great" Damon smiled and looked back at his phone. 

"..." Aku, who is looking at his friend was dumbfounded by what his friend said. Aku did not say anything but when he heard his friend say those words his body shivered in disgust. ...

...

Next day... Aku, who is  in bed suddenly, was hugged by his friend Damon. "What the heck bro stop that!“ Aku, who is still feeling sleepy, became awake because of the action of his friend. 

Aku felt disgusted at his friend's action, his friend slapping his back "Hahaha! I was busy yesterday and forgot to ask you something" Damon said while smiling at his friend. 

Aku, who was feeling irritated, looked at his friend while pushing him away, "what?". Damon who knew that his friend smirked "spill the beans bro… Who is the person you are thinking of yesterday?“ Damon asked, teasing Aku in the morning. 

Aku who was hit off guard looked at his bully friend thinking ‘it is still early in the morning why is this jerk making me mad’. 

"Then why are you spacing out yesterday?" Damon asked once again and once again hugged his friend. "Bro will you stop!" Aku who is getting angry said… "and I am not spacing out yesterday!".

Damon let go, Aku and moved a little he looked at Aku with disbelief "but I called you many times and did not respond at all". 

Aku who looked at his friend "I am not spacing out… I was thinking of our project, cause someone is not helping me" he said, defending himself. 

Damon looked at Aku with disbelief "you won't deceive me bro" Damon said and he walked out in the room. 

...

Aku was preparing his things for his first class. "Bro, it's been a week since you went to Dez Café..." Damon said, leaning at the door while waiting for his friend to finish up. 

"..." Aku kept silent, focusing on what he was doing. "It's also been a week since you saw your princess" Damon added. 

Aku stops preparing his things and looks at his friend Damon and asks "princess?". "Yeah! Bro your princess, the one you have met at Dez Café. The reason why you are spacing out yesterday" Damon said teasing Aku…

Aku finished preparing. He looked at Damon seriously "I am not spacing out yesterday!“ straighten up and fix his clothes. They both went out to their room. 

"I just said the truth Bro. Well I know you fell in love with her at first sight" Damon said while smiling. "Bro I did not, I just think she was beautiful!" Aku said, defending himself from Damon as they walk in the corridor. 

"Bro, that is called LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT" Damon said and slapped Aku's back "cough\*, Bro it hurts… I don't see her in a romantic way, she is just a F\-R\-I\-E\-N\-D, friend" Aku said with a serious tone. 

Damon stopped teasing Aku, he knew that if his friend did not say it like that it only means it did not. Aku is a straightforward person, he always speaks what is in his mind. Damon knew that if ever Aku falls in love he will tell him and ask for his advice, that is the guy Aku is. 

Damon smirked and said "Okay bro, you win… I trust you. But you know… Maybe, just maybe sooner or later you might fall in love with her" Aku looked at his friend with a confused expression. 

It was Aku's first time seeing Damon like that and hearing what he said with his serious look seems new. Aku suddenly thinks what Damon said "... might fall in love…".
