From Enemies To Lovers (English Version)

Chapter 24

Dean hears someone stamping his feet. That must be Ace, Dean thinks to himself. He opens the door and it is clearly Ace. He has an irritated look on his face.

"Hi," he says briefly.

"Hey," Dean says and walks in.

Ace closes the door and follows Dean. He's wearing different clothes than before. He must have changed before going to Dean's room.

"How was the conversation with you and Anna?" Ace asks him.

"We talked for a while, about us." Dean points briefly at Ace and himself as he sits down on the bed.

"Oh, so what did she think?"

"She couldn't believe her eyes," Dean giggles. "I told her you're actually really sweet, but she wouldn't believe it, so now she wants you to prove it."

"Proof? How ?" Ace thinks.

"We're going for a swim, right? Then she wants to swim with us and see if you're...well... 'worth it'," says Dean.

Ace looks away with difficulty. He's already starting to move back and forth.

"I know it doesn't sound fun," Dean tells him. "But she just doesn't trust it yet and you know Anna means a lot to me."

"I know she means a lot to you and I don't mind, but what am I supposed to do to make her accept our relationship."

"Just be yourself," Dean says without thinking about it.

Ace sits down next to Dean. And puts his head on Dean's legs.

"Okay I be myself", he says it in a way that takes too much effort for him.

Dean runs his hand through Ace's hair "Just don't get irritated by every little thing Anna does, you both mean well."

"Okay, but if she does something..." Ace doesn't finish his sentence.

"She doesn't do anything," Dean says as he continues to run through Ace's hair.

"Of course she's going to do something." Ace starts to whine, grumbling.

"Like what?" Dean asks curiously.

" Well .. um .. well ." Ace thinks but nothing comes in.

Dean smiles at him. Ace thinks hard but gives up. "I don't know yet, but she will. I'm sure. I can feel it in my muscles."

"Okay then," Dean giggles briefly at what Ace said.

"I just want to be alone with you now," Ace says softly.

"Me too," Dean says, still going through Ace's hair.

"Well, then we'll stay here!" Ace agrees.

Dean giggles. " Okay, okay ."

"You really do!!" Ace stands up straight.

" Nope ", Dean says laughing at Ace's reaction.

Ace looks regretful at first. "Dean!" And he jumps on him.

Dean laughs even harder and catches him as far as he can. Because Ace jumps on him, they fall backward on the bed.

"Dean you are really mean!" Ace says sadly.

"Sorry, sorry," Dean tells him.

Ace pokes gently into Dean's tummy. This makes Dean jump. "Don't sting!"

"Bad luck! You're mean!" Ace then starts poking Dean further.

"Ace!" Dean yells at him as soon as he gets pricked again.
