Lover's Identity

Chapter 4

"Where you belong is where you decide to belong"

***

Haar looked very cautious and wary for some reason and was taking his time in removing the shoes at the front door of the mid-sized apartment which looked expensive than his.

"Senior, it's not a cave neither I'm a lion that I will eat you if you enter" Yoren laughed as he observed Haar.

"Ahem..." Haar finally entered the living room which is mostly white from walls to furniture to accessories. It looks like a little snow castle.

No wonder Haar thought.

"Senior, you're welcome to look around while I make some tea for us, you know that my cooking skills don't go beyond that" Yoren left for the kitchen so that Haar can feel at ease in the new place.

Haar took the TV remote leisurely and randomly chose a channel.

Full-blown audio of two people panting echoed from the walls surrounding the TV.

"Senior isn't it too bright for those kinds of things" a playfulness exhibited in Yoren's voice from the kitchen.

Shit...Haar quickly turned off the TV and started to regret his life choices again.

He got up from the sofa and took the liberty to look around as Yoren suggested before. He ended at Yoren's bedroom after a while. It was white as well like the rest of the house. There are pictures of Yoren with an old lady and some more pictures of him since he was a kid. Yoren looked happy and his smile looked pure, his small eyes sparkling with excitement and content. Those pictures took Haar down memory lane.

After he met Yoren at the pub, Haar was sure he has seen Yoren somewhere but couldn't point out where. He turned to the internet and found the answer about Yoren's identity.

"Am I that good-looking?" Haar felt a breath near his neck but soon faded as Yoren took a step back.

"Ahem...was just curious" this kid is a almost decade younger than me yet he knows how to leave me speechless.

"What do you think of my place?" Yoren asked taking a sip of his tea.

"It is very neat and nice" Haar replied without a second thought.

"Good. So you have no problem living here then" Yoren's sharp eyes accompanied with an alluring mole twitched slightly as his smile was hidden behind the teacup.

Haar choked on his tea at once hearing those words "Who said I'll live here?"

"I mean if you become homeless you are welcome to live here" Yoren was enjoying his tea without a slight feeling of guilt.

"I believe our DOB will cross 1% rating and I shall renew my contract. You..you there... you should work hard as well, how is your filming schedule going on? I heard Tiera Yen is causing problems while shooting scenes with you?"

"Maybe" Yoren could care less as usual.

"Maybe?? See see with that attitude, you are going to be in big trouble one day"

"Will you come to save me then senior?" Yoren leaped towards Haar in a blink of an eye.

"I..I...uh...Today is our day off after a long time and the weather is nice. Why don't we hang out somewhere outdoors?"  Haar's cheeks started to burn and he immediately wants to leave the snow den as soon as possible.

Yoren laughed at Haar's flustered face "Is there any place senior wants to go?

Haar thought for a second "Not really, any place is fine"

"Alright, I am supposed to visit a place this evening, but I guess we can just go there in that case" After a small drive, the duo entered the huge building with the words 'Fly high academy'.

"Even your hobby is cold like you" Haar felt the chills down his spine from the ice arena. The arena was wide, white, and empty.

Yoren grabbed Haar's wrist and led him into a room on the side. As he helped Haar with the figure skates a playful smile appeared on Yoren's face "Common I'll teach you how to ice skate"

"How can people walk in this let alone skate" Haar was terrified at looking at the sharp knife-like bottom of the heels. He was like two years old just started walking. He held on to Yoren's shirt tightly due to the fear of falling.

"Yoren, if I fall and break a leg or something you should be the one answering to the director. If I fall down at this age, it's not easy for my bones to recover unlike you" he entered the ice rink hesitatingly still holding on to Yoren.

"Hold on to the rail and try to skate slowly, then you can try this" Yoren showed some simple moves on the ice.

Yoren was flawless and his movements on the ice are smooth that one would mistake him for a flower petal drifting in the wind. He looked like he's not skating but flying. There is a kind of happiness that gradually overtook Yoren's usual cold expression and it just made Haar's heart warm. Yoren looked like he belonged to ice and he was born to be on the ice. It's such a pity he had to give up on it.

Haar tightly held on to the railing that he didn't even move a meter in five minutes.

"Common senior I didn't take you for such a coward" Yoren teased him.

Haar let go of the rail slightly and tried to move forward as Yoren demonstrated. Ouch! Haar pouted as he fell on his butt in a matter of seconds after he let go of the railing. Yoren burst into laughter and offered his hand to raise.

"Hmph" Haar shoved his hand aside and tried to get up by himself only to fall on his bum again. "Ah Heck!" he left a loud scream and this time Yoren tried to control his laughter by puffing his cheeks.

Haar shoved his hand again and this time he managed to get up by himself and even managed to skate a couple of meters before landing on his bum again.

As Haar managed to leap forward in his shoes this time he lost his balance and was about to fall forward. Yoren sprinted like a race car and came towards Haar.

A loud thud following by a small "Ah". Haar found himself on top of Yoren. Yoren has put his body as a shield in between Haar and the ice.

"Why did you do that?" Haar sounded worried to death

"Like you said my bones can recover fast" Yoren smiled brightly.

A pair of big eyes dwelled in the depths of small sharp eyes.

"Isn't it too bright for this kind of thing?" a voice came in their direction.
