N A Y E O N ' S

It's been two days after what happened that night. We already got along, maybe. Bickering and arguing is normal with the eight of us so I'll consider it a part of getting along.

Waking up at four in the morning, I decided to went outside since the girls were still peacefully asleep. I brought a thick hoodie with me, since it would be freezing cold outside. I'm also planning to watch the sunrise or basically just how the day starts again.

I found a coconut tree near the sea, no one was there and silence was present. I took a deep breath while smiling at the view. At last, this is what you call peace.

I leaned against the tree, I'm just wearing a simple pajamas. I didn't even bothered changing my clothes or washing my face. I won't look like an alien if I didn't wash and clean my face nonetheless. Closing my eyes, as I immerse in the environment before me. This is what tranquility means, all I could hear was the splashing waves in the shore. It's cool nevertheless.

"Good morning." I instantly opened my eyes as I heard that specific voice. He wasn't in front of me, but instead suiting himself at the other part of the tree, also leaning against its body.

I tilt my head on that side, glancing by a split second before looking straight at the sea. He was also wearing a hoodie, looking so sleepy.

"Morning." I simply replied followed by a long silence. It's not that we still hate each other, it's rather the fact that we just want silence.

We stayed like that, I can even hear his heavy breaths. I was glancing at him, unintentionally. He looked troubled and frustrated. Maybe some personal matters that is obviously none of my business. I tried shoving off that thought while fixing my gaze at the skies. It still look so dark, but the air is calming. I could use this as a daily habit, this is called meditation.

"Why do you look so bothered, dear?" I asked, even though I already shove that thoughts away. It's a bit of an embarrassing question since I sounded like I care, or probably meddling with his business. Oh well, he can just dodge that question, I won't mind.

"That shouldn't be the question. Try again," he replied that made me smile in confusion. Smiling in confusion is a bit weird, basically I'm getting weird without me knowing. I sighed, still leaning against the tree.

I guess he's trying to say that I asked the wrong question. Well maybe, I'll just change the question even though the topic is none of my business.

"Who's bothering you?" I'm more of asking him and myself. Is that even the right question? That just suddenly pop out of my mind and I guess, I was guessing right.

"That's the right question." He let out a chuckle. I moved my face at the back where he was sitting and we subconsciously, stared at each other. Damn, he was also looking at me and I can feel something inside my stomach. Maybe, I was just hungry.

Before I feel weird again, I instantly look away and clear my throat. That was so awkward and I just felt embarrass of myself, which I rarely feel. He also cleared his throat and that's the only noise you can hear as for the moment.
