Chapter 6 Peri[O]Ld

  • Sunday, Early Autumn.
  • Eliminating fatigue also gives a positive aura to other people. It's that easy. Rena should have never shut herself down because of the loss of her family. He should have been more grateful to be in the pack. Well cared for even in unreal terms. If she remembers, time flies fast for her to be here. She is already twenty-three years old.
  • Rena glanced at the man handsome face beside her that had been watching her. "Is there something wrong with my face?" Rena looked at that face.
  • While those who stared only shook their heads and smiled sweetly. "You're beautiful," The man said.
  • Rena, who heard that, could only blush. Her gaze returned to the asphalt road. Was what this man said true? She smiled.
  • "I hope we can always be like this in the future."
  • Rena, who heard those words, blushed even more. She rarely interacts this intensely with men. She was especially sitting side by side.
  • "Why do you wish that?" Rena wants to start everything from scratch and start as a girl.
  • The man looked at her brown eyes, which were still sparkling. They don't care about other people. They own the world. It seems like.
  • "I always want to be close to you, okay?"
  • Rena was surprised and widened her eyes when the car she was traveling in suddenly stopped. Plus the words of the man beside her. Her forehead hit the driver's seat in front of her.
  • "Did you forget the gas and brake, Bro?!" murmured the man beside him with the driver. Meanwhile, the car driver was still looking at Rena, who was stroking her forehead through the rearview mirror.
  • "We have arrived." The cold baritone drew Rena's eyes, who were also looking at her. He quickly got out by slamming the door, making everyone in the car startled.
  • "Are you okay?" Jordan asked, seeing Rena's slightly reddened forehead.
  • Gania, who was in the front seat, also looked at Rena, still rubbing her forehead. "Your forehead is red."
  • Rena could only smile faintly. She quickly opened the door, not wanting to make the man angrier.
  • "I already bought tickets for us to see a movie." Gania looked at her watch, "About thirty minutes until the movie starts so that we can take a little walk."
  • Gania pulled Rena's arm to show the direction. Romeo and Jordan just followed behind her.
  • "Do you think the same as me?" Jordan whisApered in Romeo's ear, making the man with curly hair raise his eyebrows. "Rena looks so beautiful in a dress like that."
  • Romeo narrowed his eyes at Jordan's more expansive laugh. "Shut up, boy!" Exasperated Romeo while squeezing Jordan's neck.
  • It is undeniable, today Rena is very beautiful. With a white dress below the knee, she looks cute and mature at the same time. He became hesitant to co-exist with Rena, who has a difference of eight years.
  • “Look, Rena! Is this good?" Gania shows some clothes that she likes.
  • Rena thought for a while, “This one is better.”
  • A long black dress with open shoulders, moreover the material is made of cotton which will definitely make the wearer comfortable. Rena stroked the ribbon on the waist of the gown.
  • Beautiful.
  • Actually when he entered the clothing store he had already seen the clothes that Gania had chosen, but Gania took them first.
  • "Okay, I'll take it." Gania quickly put down the clothes she didn't choose.
  • Rena looked back at some of the clothes she liked, even though they weren't as beautiful as Gania's, let her take it, she just didn't want a fuss.
  • Jordan pointed to one of the clothes hanging, "That dress looks like it suits you."
  • Rena was surprised by the presence of Jordan who was suddenly beside her, making her stroke her chest. “Why did you startle me?!” Rena stifled indignantly, she didn't like being surprised the most.
  • Jordan couldn't help but smile showing white teeth.
  • A waiter helped Jordan to get hanging clothes.
  • “You can try this, hurry up!” Jordan pushed Rena's shoulder to try on her clothes.
  • While Romeo looked at the interaction of the two couple. His hands clenched. How could Jordan be so close to Rena?
  • It had been enough since the trip that he had heard Jordan raving about her. Jordan who teased even bluntly wanted to approach Rena made his ears hot. Jordan was too brave to say that, didn't the man know that behind Rena was him?
  • Romeo snapped out of his daydream when Gania grabbed his arm and held him.
  • “Why are you daydreaming, hm?” Gania took out her ticket and gave it to the cinema attendant.
  • "Where's Jordan?" Romeo looked around and couldn't find his brother.
  • "Jordan and Rena are buying snacks. Let's go in first." Gania grabbed Romeo's arm, making Romeo follow him from behind.
  • ***
  • "You want popcorn?" Jordan asked as he watched Rena pick and choose food.
  • Rena nodded with a smile. "Medium size only, huh."
  • "Two medium-sized popcorn, one mango juice...." Jordan hung upon him. He did not know the drink that Rena would order.
  • "Two grape juice and one apple," Rena continued.
  • Jordan paid close attention to Rena's face, smiling sweetly as she spent at the cashier. "You know Gania's favorite drink?" Jordan asked, making Rena nod her head. "Also, Romeo?"
  • Jordan's question made Rena dumbfounded, and she tried to ignore it. "Is there anything else you want to buy?" Rena asked to change the topic.
  • "Nope."
  • "Okay."
  • Rena sat down without seeing anyone besides her when she entered the cinema. That made Romeo growl. Surprised by this, the woman saw the Beta, who also turned out to be watching her.
  • "Gania," Rena called to Gania, next to Romeo. "Yours, also Beta Romeo." Giving food to Gania, which must pass through Romeo's body.
  • Rena didn't know what else to do. She didn't want to be right next to Romeo right now. More precisely, Rena did not want to see Romeo's anger when Rena was looking at him. She knew for sure he wanted to be away from her, right?
  • "Jordan, can I swap seats with you?" Rena whispered to Jordan, which Romeo must have heard right away.
  • Those words made Romeo clench his fists. He had been holding back the turmoil in his chest for a long time.
  • Jordan, who heard Rena's request, could only frown. He looked to his left, a man around the age of thirty-five with slightly quirky clothes and even a lot of piercings on his face. Jordan shook his head. He didn't want Rena to change position. The man's appearance beside him was enough to make Jordan anxious, especially for the typical Rena. "No, Rena!"
  • Rena sighed. She believes throughout the round of the film. She will never be able to enjoy it.
  • It's been almost half an hour since the film was playing. Rena finally noticed Romeo out of the corner of her eye. The man clenched his jaw tightly. Rena was sure Romeo was furious for not taking his distance from her. With her eyes trying to focus on the showing film, Rena preferred to lean towards Jordan.
  • Rena had given up enough not to cause a fight that might happen. She will assume everything is normal. Her heart was already very hurt seeing the closeness of Romeo and Gania plus the bracelet problem yesterday. She tried to forget.
  • That beautiful bracelet is no longer with her if you want to know. She lost, lost Romeo's gift. Even though she remembered putting it in her shirt pocket. And she had also been looking into the garden. But also nothing, she did not find.
  • She admits he is clumsy and can't keep people's gifts well. But she would try to find her again tonight if necessary in all corners of the palace.
  • "You enjoyed it?" Jordan asked.
  • Rena snapped out of her daydream. She saw Jordan's face, only an inch from hers—staring at the brown beads through the dark atmosphere.
  • Rena saw how Jordan's gentle gaze seemed to want to love her sincerely. Rena was hypnotized. She considers all of Jordan's stern faces, especially with the future beard after being shaved neatly. She and Jordan are only four years apart, but Romeo is eight. However, how can Jordan keep up with his older brother's maturity? Jordan looks a lot like Romeo.
  • "Ah!" Rena screamed in surprise when her leg suddenly felt pain. She saw Romeo passing her down the stairs and out of the room. The silhouette of Romeo's muscular body must be a spectacle for him, watching in silence.
  • ***
  • "I need to go to the toilet for a bit." Jordan walked quickly.
  • Still, in the cinema area, they have finished watching.
  • "Me too," said Gania. "You want to come with me?" she continued to invite Rena.
  • "I—"
  • "That means it's proven true. Yes, if you want to go to the women's restroom, you must always invite a friend," Romeo interrupted, stopping Rena's words.
  • Gania just giggled and left the two of them.
  • Rena, who felt awkward with Romeo, thinned her lips even more. She will find a seat to wait for Jordan and Gania to finish their activities.
  • Before Rena walk, a pair of hands crossed her waist from behind. Rena held her breath. Looking at those big hairy hands, she knew. "You who are not destined to be human should use your instincts," Romeo said in Rena's ear.
  • Rena, who only looked down at Romeo's hands, twisted his jacket to cover her lower half.
  • "You, too, should know your period schedule as a woman." Romeo tighten the jacket knot around Rena's waist, so it doesn't come off.
  • Rena is still not breathing, even though Romeo's hands are not on her waist. She was timid. She turned around and found Romeo giving her a white package and staring at her intently. It was confident that her cheeks were getting redder because of Romeo's actions.
  • So Romeo noticed it?
