Star And Mr. Moon - [When Silence Speaks Louder]

CHAPTER 42 - Remember?

*Chirp~*Chirp~*Chirp~

The sounds of the early birds singing early in the morning could be heard in the air. What a great and beautiful morning! And along the beach coast, someone was already walking there, wearing short pants with summer clothes, leaving a footprint on the sandy beach.

7.00 am

Looking at the watch in his wrist, Zee let out a heavy sigh as he kicked the sand below him. Yes that is Zee... Strolling there early in the morning as he was feeling uneasy...to be precise, anxious.

Actually since yesterday he's been acting like this...he can't sleep throughout the night. He kept thinking about something. And even after the sun was already peaking from the horizon, Zee still can't shut down his own mind from this thought.

After that hot steamy night together...with Chawarin that was actually drunk, he just cannot stop himself from having these mixed feelings. He actually feels guilty...but at the same time, all that he did was just to help Chawarin out.

"Haa...shit..."

As Zee stopped from his track, he let out a heavy sigh as he put both of his hands behind his head, he looked up to the morning sky as the gentle breeze slowly blew his hair. And a moment later, when he reached the end of the beach, he decided to sit there on the big random rock that was stretched to the sea.

Staring into nowhere... staring into the blue...he tried to ease his mind from the thought...of what happened yesterday.

And it bothers him so much, knowing whatever happened yesterday might not be only a dream. As he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a voice from afar... inaudibly. But soon enough, he was finally able to recognise those voices belong to whom.

"Zee! Zee! Heyyy!!!"

And after Zee throws his eyes to the side, to the voice direction, he sees the sight of Max, running towards him as he waves his hands at him.

"Bruh, it's so early in the morning. How come you are outside already... I thought you were having a hangover in your room"

Max said as he gasped for air from all the running, he got both of his hands on his hips.

"Heh, and what about you? What are you doing here?"

Zee said again as he let out a small scoff. He didn't even bother to look at Max, he just stared into the horizon.

"Well... I was taking my morning jogging. This is part of my daily routine.."

"Hmm"

And after that Zee didn't say anything more. And that got Max wondering, just why Zee looks so indifferent lately... looking at his odd behaviour like this, Max has a doubt in his head.

"Who said you could sit here?"

"I didn't ask for your permission anyway..."

"Hmm"

And then the both of them just sit there, as the sounds of the ocean wave surrounded them.

"Have you been thinking about something?"

"...."

"You got a lot of things in that head of yours, huh?"

Max voiced out again, and that got Zee letting out a heavy sigh. As if he was really not in the mood for a chit chat, indicating that he really has a lot to think about in his mind.

"Where did you go yesterday though? Are you busted in the toilet? I didn't see you coming back yesterday..."

Max said as he turned his head to Zee.
