Turn Off The Fire (2)

Mika and Nine arrived at the restaurant, that place so luxurious and so modern. A pianist presenting customer there with beautiful melody. Mika sit stiffly, seeing Nine who was still standing taking off his jacket while looking at the beauty decoration of restaurant.

"They said the weather it's not good tonight, so we couldn't be on rooftop." Mika said.

"It's amazing to be here too. This is my first time coming to a place like this." Nine smiling. Waiter come over and give menu and then pouring mineral water into their glasses.

"What do you want to eat?" Mika asking.

"Just choose that you like."

"Medium steak, fettuccine carbonara, two red wines and caesar salad." Mika said to waiter. The waiter left after taking orders.

"Finally we here! We've been planning this for a long time." Nine smile excitedly.

"We found this restaurant when we in Yuheng's apartment balcony... Remember?" Said Mika.

Nine staring at Mika in silence, and couldn't help but just smile without answer. Mika wants Nine to remember their moment again. So...

"I thought when we talking in dining room before, you wouldn't want come here with me. I'm so surprised when you came to my room and invited me here last night. What make you change your mind?" Said Mika. Nine think for a moment. Then...

"I don't think I thought about that from your perspective before." Nine staring at Mika.

"Me?"

"Yeah. I really didn't think much when I answer you. So I thinking about that again and came to your room last night." Nine answered, making Mika just can nod silently.

"And I want talk to you too of course." Nine laughing while scratching his hair because he felt awkward. While waiting for their food arrive, Mika and Nine just sit there quietly.

"Can I ask something?" Nine starting conversation. Mika didn't answer and just keep staring at Nine, waiting for him to continue.

"A few days ago, someone put a tiramisu in my room..." Nine smiled as he keep his head down.

"It's you right?" Nine staring at Mika. Mika didn't answer, he just kept his head down.

"Why you do that?" Nine asked again.

"It's because you want it, so..." Mika stopped talking knowing Nine staring at him.

"Mika, you can't do that anymore." Nine give him a gentle smile. And then...

"Nine, do you believe in fate?" Ask Mika suddenly.

"Huh? Hmm... Yeah." Nine nodded. Yeah, Nine did it. He told Santa last night that Nine believed in fate.

"I just. I used to believe in it, but now..."

"Now you're not?" Nine said with a smile.

"Now, I believe I have to make my own fate." Mika said it while staring at Nine.

"I don't want to leave it up to fate. I don't believe in fate now." Say Mika again. Nine just kept nodding listening.

"Aren't you think I'm really weird today?" Mika suddenly laughed looking at Nine, yeah, Mika felt awkward because suddenly said that and made the atmosphere being quiet.

"Even I don't know what I'm saying." Mika said again while continuing to smile.

"Yeah. You so weird just now." Nine laughing.

"I absolutely have no idea what you talking about just now." Nine covering his mouth to hold back his laugh after hearing Mika. The atmosphere now more comfortable.
