Chapter 8

"Why did you come here again?"

Chenle asked with a frown on his face when he saw Jisung inside their house the next day.

He was at the garden, watering the plants. He's doing it to busy himself since he can't stop thinking about Jia since last night.

"I'm here because we need to practice." Jisung answered.

Chenle rolled his eyes.

"I told you I don't want you to be my partner. I don't want to play the piano again. I hate it." he stated.

Jisung didn't believe it.

"You're lying. If you really hate playing piano, then you won't play it beautifully last night."

Chenle got taken aback so he froze from his feet. He saw him doing that? He thought the guy isn't around when he played the piano last night. He thought he's just alone.

"Go away." Chenle said coldly.

Instead of getting hurt because of getting rejected by the pianist for 3 consecutive times, Jisung remained being a hard headed.

"Why don't you come with me? Let's go out. It will help you feel better." he said.

Chenle look at him from head to toe and noticed his shoelace being untied again.

He stops himself to not get bothered by it.

"You go yourself. I would feel better if you leave me alone."

Chenle was about to go back watering the plants, but Jisung get the hose he's holding and set it aside before holding Chenle's hand so he can't run away from him.

"You will come with me." Jisung commanded and smiled sweetly before completely dragging Chenle outside the house.

"This is kidnapping! I will report you to the police!" Chenle shouted as Jisung brought him to his motorbike.

"If you're going to report me, do it later. Come with me first and I'm not going to stop you from reporting me."

Chenle didn't answer. He's thinking if he could trust the guy but Jisung already wear him a helmet so he's left with no choice but to hop on the motorbike with him.

"What are we doing here?" Chenle asked in surprise.

They are now in front of a public large aquarium and he's so clueless as to why he brought him here.

"We're going see different kinds of sea creatures?" Jisung answered.

"I know, but why would we do that?" Chenle asked again.

"Because it's fun!"

Well, Chenle don't seem to see it as a fun thing to do.

"I'll go home." Chenle said.

He turn around and was about to leave, but Jisung held his hand to stop him.

"Don't go, please.." he begged.

Chenle looks at their hands and he felt a sudden electricity rushing inside him.

Jisung held his hand tight.

"Come with me,"

He said before entering the public aquarium with him.

Chenle thought he won't enjoy entering a public aquarium because he find it boring.

The stingray, the giant octopus, the whales, the turtles, the penguins, the sharks, the seals, and the dolphins..

They are actually beautiful.

Chenle's mouth hang open and his eyes can't almost believe what he's seeing because of the breathtaking scenery infront of him.

"Look! That dolphin looks exactly like you!" Jisung said as he pointed the dolphin infront of them.

Chenle don't know if he should be happy or angry at the guy for saying that. But it actually made him smile.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes,"

"How come?"

"Well, dolphin are intelligent. They are chatty and like to blow bubbles. But they're cute, right?"

"But I'm not chatty." Chenle declared.

"Aren't you chatty before?"

Chenle think about it.. well, when he was a kid, he's really chatty. But how did the guy know about that?

"Your mom told me.." Jisung answered as if he just read his mind.

"That whale over there, do you know they like to play? Also those penguins, they all love having fun and playing.."

"Why are you telling that to me?" Chenle asked.

"To tell you that even sea creatures have something they like to do.. How about you Chenle? What do you like to do?"

I like playing piano.

Chenle wants to answer that, but he can't just said those words out loud.

"About your friend.. did she tell you what she likes to do?" Jisung asked.

Chenle hesitates to answer it, but he still do.

"She told me that she likes playing in the rain.. that she'd rather die playing in the rain than to die playing her violin."

"That time, it was raining, right?" Jisung asked again.

Chenle's heart was aching remembering it, but he still continue to answer his question.

"Yes.."

He felt Jisung hold his hand. Chenle look at their hands as the guy gently squeeze it.

"You know what? I would also choose to die doing what I like than to die without doing it. Jia, your friend.. I know it's sad that she died in such a young age, but at least she's happy that she gets to do what she likes before dying, right? How about you? Do you really want to stop doing what you like and die without doing it?" Jisung asked.

Chenle didn't notice his tears falling down.

It took him a minute to look down as he don't want the guy to see him crying.

He clenched his fist.

He wasn't mad at Jisung because what he said is actually right.

Just by thinking that he'll stop playing the piano, it feels like his world already crumpled.

He love playing the piano with all of his life. He can't live without it.

Jisung took a step forward and give him a comforting hug. He also held the back of his head to bury it on his chest and let him cry while he's hugging him.

Chenle let himself to cry on his arms.

Until now, he's still blaming himself for what happened to his friend. He thought he don't deserve to play the piano again because he choose to play it than to play with her.

But that time, Jia and him just chose what they like to do. And it just happened that Jia was the one who died, but for sure she didn't regret playing in the rain, because that's what she likes doing.

Chenle closed his eyes and hug Jisung back.

Why did he just realized it now?

But thanks to this guy, he can now finally breath comfortably.
