"What actually are we?"

Karina keeps looking deep into Winter's trembling orbs. She's dedicated not to making any single move without an answer from the younger woman.

She'll never let Winter ignore her again.

"I'm sorry I lied to you, Rina", Winter sighed in defeat. "Yes, we met after high school duration. The times when you can't remember, we actually met a few times", she continued.

"Then what are we?", Karina asked the same question again.

"We are good friends-"

"A friend didn't kiss each other's on the lips!", Karina shouted, succeed to make the younger woman more shocked than ever.

Winter doesn't know how far Karina remembers, yet she doesn't want to tell the entire truth to the actress knowing that it might be a harm to her. But still, leaving Karina hanging without an answer after watching her entire break down, Winter's heart couldn't bear it anymore.

Winter wrapped her hands around Karina's neck, pulling the actress down into a hug. Karina's sobs were still there and Winter's neck slowly got wet from the older woman's tears but Winter didn't care as long as she could lessen the pain inside Karina's heart.

"Rina, can you trust me?"

Winter's voice is soft and assuring, trying to comfort the older woman. While her hands slowly caress and pat Karina's back, assuring her that everything's gonna be fine. Karina didn't answer her question.

"I don't know how far you've remembered, but can you trust me?", Winter asked her again.

This time, the actress slowly nodded her head between their hug and Winter flashed a small smile, sighing heavily in relief.

"You know well that your well-being is my priority since middle school, right? Trust me, it is still the way it is until now Rina".

"And trust me, I have a reason why I have to lie to you. But I promise, there will be one day when I can tell you everything. Can you wait for me?", Winter caressed Karina's head gently. It took a while for the actress to answer Winter's question with a nod.

"I adored you, Rina. I cared for you, and I understand all these memories flashbacks make you desperate to know more about yourself. I know it better than anyone else, but can you bear it for a while? For me".

Karina's hands on both Winter's shoulders tightened and the sobs got weaker. Karina dug her head even deeper into Winter's neck, and Winter never tried to stop her. She missed how close they can be before everything happened.

"Promise?", the actress's weak voice asked the younger woman for assurance. Winter in no time gives her an answer with her soft voice.

"I promise"

...

It's the third week of Renthouse season 2 filming, and Karina was in her usual rich people attire for her character. While having her makeup to be done, she looks around to find no presence of Winter. Somehow it bothered her a lot.

Since that day, the actress learned to keep a distance from the bodyguard when they are in public just in case. She wonders a lot these days about the actual relationship between her and Winter, but never dares to ask the younger girl for more because why?

Because she trusts Winter.

"Hey, Key. Where's my bodyguard?", Karina asked her manager who sitting right behind her. Key's head shot up from his phone and widened his eyes a bit, remembering the news she heard from the other bodyguard that morning.
