Perfect Love (TayNew)

62. Trauma

*Third Person's POV*

Tay looked at his own hand with which he held New's hand and thought "His hand was trembling."

Tay closed his hand into a fist and blamed himself that he put New in such a condition.

Tay didn't mean for something like this to happen... he just thought New will feel happy cause they are celebrating his birthday together with friends.

New quickly went inside his room and closed the door. Then he slowly slid down the door and sat on the floor while hugging his knees with his head down.

New's body was shaking badly and he couldn't stop himself from shaking.

New recited out the words continuously "It's okay. Nothing... happened."

"It's okay New."

"It's okay."

"Get a hold of yourself." New said while hugging himself.

After some time he calmed down and then stared blankly at nothing.

*Next day*

The group decided not to talk about yesterday's matter and continued to joke around like nothing happened. They didn't want to hurt New's feelings or ask him about something difficult to say.

Gun asked Off to come with him and took him to a basketball stadium where there were many courts.

"Did we come here to play?" Off asked smiling while looking at Gun.

"Of course we are here to play." A voice said from behind and Off turned around.

"Oab?" Off said.

"Hi, Off. It's been some time since we played a match." Oab said playing with a basketball.

"Why are you here?" Off asked.

"Gun... Can you please book a court for us?" Oab said.

"Okay." Gun said and left to book a court.

"Gun?" Off said watching Gun's back who was leaving.

"What do you want?" Off asked.

"A match... you and me." Oab said.

"Let's bet with Gun as the prize." Oab said smiling.

"What?" Off said shocked.

Oab showed his right hand to him for a handshake and said "Let's go."

"No. I won't accept the bet. Not with Gun... never." Off said glaring at him.

"Why? The oh-so-great betting master is worried of a small bet." Oab said.

"I won't do it." Off said glaring.

"I got the court number." Gun said walking towards them.

"Look here Gun... Off doesn't want to bet." Oab said.

"It's okay if it's just once." Gun said.

"Do you know what he bet on?" Off asked frowning.

"Me... right." Gun said normally.

"You know?" Off asked shocked.

"Oab told me about it." Gun said.

"Are you agreeing to bet with yourself as the prize?" Off asked.

"Hmmm..." Gun said.

"Why? You were so against it." Off said with a sad expression.

"I want to know what it feels like to bet." Gun said looking at Off.
