RAINBOWALL - [MAXNAT] FANFIC

CHAPTER 20 - HEARTBEAT 💗

FYI - Start from now on, I will not use any of MAXNAT photo for this Fanfic because it's hard to find a photo suit the situation.

*************************************************

Max spoke softly while bandaging Nath's hand. The moment between them grew so quiet, as if their heartbeats were louder than the café's music.

Lyn observed the situation and immediately stopped Leo from walking any further.

Lyn: I don't know what happened between those two, but how did my brother get involved with the youngest son of the famous JACE family? Is there something I should know?

Lyn looked at Leo, hoping he would explain. She was genuinely curious, but Leo quickly made an excuse.

Leo: I'm sorry. I don’t know what happened between Mr. Natha and your brother. Mr. Natha said he was hungry and decided to come here, so as his assistant, I simply follow wherever he goes.

Leo lied. If he told the truth, he feared Max’s little sister would cause chaos.

Lyn: We should wait here... The situation between them seems okay now. Let them talk.

Lyn and Leo stayed back, trying not to eavesdrop on Max and Nath’s conversation. For them, it was their private matter.

Nath: Still mad at me ?

Nath broke the silence. It was hard for him to start a conversation after their argument, but he pushed aside his pride and tried.

Max: I finished bandaging your wrist. If you're done eating... you can go now.

Nath could tell Max was still upset. Though his voice was soft, his expression was unreadable.

Nath: You don’t want to answer me 🙁 ?

Max: We should stop this conversation. It's late... You better go home.

Nath: Okay... if that’s what you want. Leo, are you done peeing ? Let’s go home.

Leo: Yes, Mr., I’m done.

Leo, who had been hiding with Lyn for nearly 25 minutes to give them space, quickly stepped out of the kitchen.

Lyn: Umm, once again, I want to apologize on behalf of my brother.

Nath: It's okay... It’s not his fault. How much is the food ?

Max: Just go. I don’t need your money. “ He spoke without looking at Nath ”

Lyn: Max ! That was rude ! Umm, Natha, you can go home. Don’t worry about the food.

Nath glanced at Leo, subtly gesturing for him to leave the money on the table. Leo nodded and took out some cash.

Leo: I’ll just leave the money here. Please forgive me and Mr.

Nath and Leo left the café. Suddenly, the place felt empty. Max and Lyn sat in silence until Lyn, unable to hold back her curiosity, finally spoke up.

Lyn: What exactly happened ? Is this the reason why you got angry when I mentioned Nath at the cosmetics store? Is there something you’re not telling me 😌 ?

Max: Lyn... nothing happened.

Lyn: Okay, if you don’t want to tell me the truth, then you have to go find Nath again.

Max: What ? Why do I need to find him again ?

Lyn: To apologize !

Max: Lyn... You heard me apologize already !

Lyn: That wasn’t enough ! Manners, Max ! You said it with a cold face... That’s not how you apologize after hurting someone.

Just as Lyn was about to start an argument, Max stopped her. He had never seen her this mad before.

Max: What do you want me to do ?

Lyn: Go to his office and find Nath. I bet you know where his office is.

Max: I don’t want to.

Lyn: You have to !

Max: Lyn...

Lyn: Max, I don’t want to hear any excuses from you! As a fan of Nath... I feel deeply ashamed seeing my own brother fight with him ☹️.

Max: Okay, okay. I’ll go find him. I’ll do what you’re asking... But Lyn, you have to understand—it’s hard to find someone as famous as him 🙂.

Hearing her brother finally agree, Lyn immediately came up with a plan.

Lyn: Nath has a favorite drink… Umm, Earl Grey ! Max, you have to make that for him. Also, cook him something ! And maybe buy him flowers !

Max: Flowers ?? Lyn, are you crazy right now ?

Lyn: Me ? Crazy ? You hurt Nath—that was crazy ! I don’t care ! You need to buy a White Orchid as your apology.

Max took a deep breath. If it weren’t for the fact that he cared about his little sister, he wouldn’t even consider doing all this.

Lyn: Max ! Did you hear what I just said ??

Max: I heard. I’ll do everything you asked. Are you satisfied now ? It’s late... Let’s go home.

Lyn: Promise me. I won’t believe it until you promise.

Max: Promise... Is that what you want to hear ?

Lyn: Now you're finally acting like a good brother 😌.

Later that night, Max sat alone in his bedroom, complaining to himself. If he didn’t follow Lyn’s orders, she would never let it go.

Checking his phone, he saw that it was already 2:47 a.m., yet he couldn’t sleep. He went to the kitchen, took a sleeping pill—the only way to quiet his thoughts—and lay back in bed. He checked his phone again… 3:15 a.m. He finally felt drowsy and drifted off to sleep, leaving his bedroom light on.

Monday morning, loud knocking echoed from Max’s bedroom door.

Lyn: Max !! Wake up !!! You have to go buy flowers for Nath !

Max still hadn’t woken up, probably due to the sleeping pills. Lyn, frustrated, kept knocking but got no response.

She searched for the spare key—found it ! Thank god they had one for every door in the house. Unlocking Max’s door, she blasted loud music from her phone.

Max jolted awake, panicked, thinking something was wrong. He sat up quickly, his messy hair covering his eyes, barely able to see his sister standing there, arms crossed, glaring at him.

Lyn: Still dreaming ?? Look at the time! You promised to buy flowers for Nath !

Max, still groggy, tried to open his right eye, seeing Lyn staring at him impatiently.

Lyn: Wake up ! Go take a shower... It’s late. You need to buy the freshest White Orchid for Nath.

Max: Lynnnnnnnn… it's still early.

Lyn: Max… it’s not early ! It’s almost 8 a.m. !

Max, still half-asleep, had no choice but to listen to his little sister’s nonstop lecture about Nath first thing in the morning. He wanted to argue, but he knew there was no winning against Lyn, so he just stood there, letting her rant.
