CHAPTER 14

“Aku!” Damon shouted, he was looking for Aku, since yesterday Damon thought that Aku was acting weird. Yesterday, Damon, who is watching Aku and Zara, left earlier than he was expected to, because their Café has many customers. That is why Audrey was left alone watching Aku and Zara in the last booth. 

Audrey left early, before the events ended because she had important things to do. Zara leaves early too after Audrey leaves; she was escorted in the car by her bodyguard.

Aku who is hiding in his blanket moves a little so that Damon notices him. “Dude! What’s wrong with you! You have been acting so weird since yesterday!!” Damon said, he pulled the blanket to see Aku. 

Aku didn’t respond to Damon and was spacing out. “Even Zara was weird yesterday… she didn’t take off her mask since you guys came back” Damon said guessing what might happen yesterday. 

Aku looked at Damon “It was just an accident!” Aku felt so guilty about what happened at the last booth. 

“Our event last time was a success, that our class won… so what is your problem? You and Zara also won the game you participated in, so what’s that look?” Damon asked, he was worried sick.

‘Ringggg….Ringgg’ Damon cellphone rang, Audrey was calling him… before Aku could tell what is wrong with him, Damon left the room to pick up Audrey’s call. 

“Hello love of my life did you miss me?” Damon said, he really likes to tease her girlfriend. “No… I just want to tell you to comfort Aku, you have experience… comfort him not tease okay!” Audrey said. “What happened yesterday?” Damon asked in curiosity…

Yesterday in the last booth…

“Almost there,” the host said, talking about the Aku and Zara pair. Aku, who is almost at the middle of the stick, planned to bite it. Suddenly a girl behind Aku tripped, and fell towards Aku’s back. Aku who was caught off guard fell towards Zara. 

The girl was taking a picture of the event, she didn’t notice the boulder in front of her and was tripped by it. Aku, who was shocked, noticed something wrong about his position. Aku’s lips and Zara’s lips touched, Aku immediately got up, he fixed himself and helped Zara to stand up. 

The host and the people watching were speechless to what they saw… As soon as Aku stands up from his position, the host recovers from the shock. Aku swallowed all the sticks left when he fell down, and the host saw it. 

“We have the winner, the couple in the wedding attire… mister Aku and miss Zara” the host announced.

Eve who is watching the entire situation walks towards Zara and Aku, “Since you finish all the game in every booth, within a short period of time… here I give you the prize for the grand winner” Eve hands out the ticket to Zara. 

“Thank you” Zara shyly said, she took out her mask and put it on. “Zara I am sorry!” Aku said to Zara, he bowed ninety degrees. 

Zara looked at Aku who was so guilty, she put her hand on her lips and shook her head towards Aku, “it’s okay… don’t feel sorry… it was an accident” Zara said. 

Aku touched his lips, his face was so red and thought ‘that was my first kiss…”. 

...

Audrey told Damon what happened yesterday until she left the event. Damon now knows why Aku is like that. 

Damon thought to himself ‘my friend is like a girl… his first kiss really that precious to be acting like that? What about the girl he just kissed, isn’t it Zara’s first kiss? Tsk tsk….’. 

Damon went inside the room and walked toward his best friend “Bro don’t act so pure and innocent… do you think that you are the only one who lost their first kiss” Damon teases his friend. 

Aku looked at his friend “how did you know?” Aku asked, Damon just smiled at him. “Bro, I was watching you yesterday… you are so competitive, so regretful that I didn’t watch it until the very end” Damon said while smiling mischievously at Aku. 

Aku gets the idea where he got the information yesterday… 

“Now that I think about it… I haven't looked at the forum of our school since yesterday” Damon said, he got his phone and looked at the forum of the school. 

Damon smiles while scrolling his screen “seems like everyone knows about what happened yesterday except me!” Damon said, he hands over his phone to Aku. 

“SHIT!” Aku shouts, he was shocked to see that he was the headline, he looked at Damon. “Bro… that’s my phone!” Damon reminded Aku, Aku was holding Damon’s phone so tight that it might break.

“Don’t worry I will take care of your problem about you being the headline… you should talk to Zara” Damon said. 

Damon is a reliable guy if needed, even though he teases Aku a lot, but if his best friend is in trouble he does his best to help. Aku smiles at his friend and nods… 

Aku who is planning to call Zara was stopped by Damon “I forgot to tell you… Audrey and Zara are going to the mall next week… I was also going, so are you going?” Damon invites Aku. 

Aku who was holding his phone nods at Damon, he walks outside the room to call Zara…
