Chapter 27: Masquerade Pt.1

[ Beep...Beep ]

The sound of the alarm echoes in your room. It's already 7 A.M. in the morning. You hurriedly get out of bed and dressed up. You are walking in the streets when a text message came up.

You meet Rafayel at the hospital lobby. Guess what, he's with a crutches.

Y/N:
          Do you really need that crutches, huh?

Rafayel:
          Of course. You won't carry me.

He look away and pouted. Both of you get into the cab. Upon arriving at Rafayel's Art Studio, you help him carry his things inside.

Rafayel:
          Stay here. I need someone to assist a handsome guy like me. Oh, I'm so badly injured.

Y/N:
          Oh, really? Well fir-

Rafayel:
          Please... Dont... Speak about.. you know.

He lay down on the couch. A moment later, you remember that you're supposedly going to meet Rafayel at his room.

Rafayel:
          Could you get me so-

Y/N:
          Okay, here's food, water, and other stuff. I gotta go. There's things I need to do. Take care.

Rafayel:
          Ahhhh.. another mission. You owe me one.

Y/N:
          Okay, okay. I need to go. Just text me or whatever.

You left Rafayel at his house and jog your way home. Outside, a flock of birds flies over the apartment, like a cloud of ink spilling onto the sky.

Y/N:
          It should be 11:00 A.M. now... Xavier should already be awake, right?

Worried that he isn't, you pace back and forth for another hour. Then you, feeling antsy, immediately head upstairs. Even when your outside Unit 602, you still can't believe Xavier is basically your neighbor. Finally, you decided to knock.

Xavier:
          You're here early.

Xavier yawns, looking almost harmless in his simple, white sweater.

Xavier:
          Orange juice, coffee, or water?

Y/N:
          ...Huh?
