Gu Yang's sturdy back glided against the fiberglass-reinforced acrylic of the jacuzzi

Gu Yang's sturdy back glided against the fiberglass-reinforced acrylic of the jacuzzi. Dipping his head in the soapy water until it disappeared below the surface. Drawing him into a gorgeously seducing getaway from the uncomfortable tension hovering above.

It's already been a half an hour. A half an hour of him trying to indulge himself in the warm water, rubbing his body against the Jacuzzi's fizzing jets. Savoring that pleasure of a mechanical hydrotherapy. But, with no avail.

Since the minute his pelvis met the Jacuzzi's floor, two pairs of eyes sitting across from him, quizzed him. Glanced at each other, and then quizzing him again. All in silence. Like a flustered groom dining at the house of the unapproving in-laws for the first time. Even the jolly bubbles in the heated water didn't hold the power to halve that strange frustrating, unjustifiable tension in the air.

His teeth bit down on the inside of his jaw, exasperated. Five more minutes like this, and he might as well go back to his room. Those two are seriously killing his mood. From his personal experience, HaiYin can get weird like that sometimes. But now, their quizzing gazes and over-all weirdness tangoed on the border-line of disturbing. He submerged, drenching his head in the clear warm water, and with a sudden motion, flashed it out. Utterly done with these two. He glared. "What? do you have something to say to me?"

Bai Luo Yin's restive pupils dilated themselves, and his lips parted. As if words were waiting on the tip of his tongue, begging to roll out. His gaze lingered on Gu Hai. His chestnut eyes questioning. As if asking for permission. And Gu Hai nodded. Go head.

"Ammm..." Bai Luo Yin's gaze wandered around. Looking at all directions but at Gu Yang. "Do you remember last Monday...? When we visited the Seoul national museum?"

"What about it?"

"Well...Ammm..." he cleared his throat. "After we split, I went to the bathroom, and saw Ling Yun there...he was..." he cleared his throat again. "With a woman...making out with her..."

A heavy silence roared. Like a capital city that recently suffered a hit of a nuclear bomb.

Bai Luo Yin lifted his eyes slowly. His sympathetic heart thumped dramatically. And at that moment, he fully regretted not letting Gu Hai deliver the news.

Until seconds ago, Gu Yang leaned back against the Jacuzzi's smooth wall, spreading his arms to the sides in a smugish way. Now his arms hugged each other. His gaze fixated on an unknown dot behind them. Ten massive palms could wave in front of it, but his gaze still wouldn't budge. One could tell just by looking at it. And his eyes, his eyes so dark like an inky fog that is hiding the slippery road and causing a chain of car accidents. So dark that it makes one weep in dismay, believing he will never get the privilege of witnessing another clear day in his lifetime.
