No, wait! Harumi!" He finally snapped back and quickly chased after her into the cafe but it's too late. They're already talking but the man looks like he doesn't like it at all. He looks way scarier. Chen really wished he can just disappear into the ground.
"Huh? I'm here to eat, not find a partner—"
"Your mark! Ah, you and Chen Chen are really a perfect match, this is hard to believe!" Harumi squealed in excitement.
The man finds it annoying. What's up with this person and who is Chen Chen? It's a good thing that the cafe isn't crowded today or it will be a problem since her voice is really loud.
"Harumi, that's fine.. Let's go…" Chen walked over to her as he slowly pulled her hand trying to get away sneakily if he could. He didn't want the man to notice him so he lowered his head to hide his face. The only difference from before is Chen doesn't wear his glasses so he hoped the man wouldn't notice him. Dealing with him again would be a nuisance. Harumi is brave, she can easily talk to him when he looks intimidating plus he's also a stranger.
"Wait." The raven stopped Chen by holding his hand. "You're the one I met before. Are you a spy? You sure don't look like it." He grabbed the collar while pulling him to take a closer look. Dealing with a spy is really a trouble, though he already made sure he did his job carefully. How skilled is this person? He's good at disguise too.
He glanced at the blonde's hand and his entire body to check for any hidden weapons. Who knows he might hide a weapon anywhere but there isn't any. He still doubted that he's empty handed.
Then he remembered something. The mark. He immediately checks his mark and the blonde's. It's the same, no mistake at all but then he laughed afterwards. He's such a skilled spy, knows every little detail of him and even now he still can't find wherever this person was hiding his weapon.
"I'm not a spy. You just sound like a maniac now. Let me go, you're creating a scene." He almost got choked by the sudden pull but he didn't know how to fight back either. He only grabbed the stranger's hand to resist the strong pull on his shirt. The customers around the cafe are already looking at them. This is a hassle, they might have to find another cafe.
"Hmph." The raven let him go. If the mark is true, he didn't know what to do either. Is it a must to get in a relationship with him? He almost doesn't have much time to himself when he's busy getting his missions done. It's been so many years he hasn't interacted with anyone else unless it's his co-workers. This person, who looks almost like a nerd?— no, not really now. His glasses are gone. He took a closer look at him. Silky long blonde hair with some strands of purple, purple eyes, small and frail body… His thoughts stopped while his eyes kept staring at him. The pale white hands tidying up his messed up collar. "Are you a guy? Doesn't look like it." Better play along with him and let's see if any of us develop a feeling for each other. Relationships can be a hassle but trying it won't hurt.
Chen was worrying over the people around them staring until the words annoyed him. "Haaa—! How so?!" He shouted out loud in anger. Assuming that he's a girl is the last thing we want to hear in his life. Which part of himself looks like a girl? He's not even that feminine.
Harumi chuckled watching them from behind. How fast they change, looks like they can get along. Humans are really such interesting creatures. She slowly lifted up her sleeves looking at her wrist which doesn't have any mark like any human here. A smile curled on her lips. Chen Lin doesn't know that she's not a human.
"Harumi! Let's get out of here!" Chen turned around reaching out his hand for his friend while his other hand got pulled by the raven. He's unexpectedly strong and Chen can't get away from him at all.
