Their Little Life | SVT 96L

Chapter 4

Serkan and Juniper are very stubborn people. While there is always a very childlike stubbornness in Serkan where what he wants should happen, Juniper kind of stubborn is something that brings a cold to shivering down your body. It was like a reminder that you have no business with him so you shouldn't try to debate with him. Whenever he says no, it is something that couldn't change. No is a no.

But that day, even Juniper couldn't say no because whatever Serkan said was right. That day, Serkan throwed chaos and anger at Juniper's roommates. Juniper was very mad because Serkan jumped into his fights. It was a fight between ice and fire since Serkan fights like there's a building on fire while Juniper fights like he went to Antarctica and sees the other person dying by cold.

Both Wyn and Rayinu didn't know how Serkan managed to get Juniper packing his luggage and coming to the apartment. But they came to the front door with a kind of silence that made Wyn and Rayinu couldn't even breathe in the same place with them.

No one has the bravery to ask Juniper why he brought his luggage. Even in this situation, both of them didn't want to ask Juniper if he really moved out with them. He put his small luggage in the empty living room. He didn't say anything while Serkan was in the kitchen, drinking water. Or maybe watering the fire inside him.

Since there was no sofa yet, Juniper calmly sat on the floor and watched Serkan with his cold eyes that furiously planted on them.

Wyn and Rayinu couldn't move and they were holding vacuum cleaners and napkins to clean the place. They knew the storm was coming and it felt a little movement made the situation worsen.

Those two people fight like an animal while Wyn and Rayinu are always on the calm side. So, it was totally normal for both of them to be scared of their life seeing their friends have a fight.

"I still can bear them, you know," Juniper broke the silence, hatred in his voice.

Serkan put his glass down and his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, looked at Juniper, "You are not."

"You don't know me that well."

It left Serkan with a snort. Funny that Juniper is able to say that while basically they spent their time together. If Serkan didn't know Juniper then no one would really know him. They thought that they knew Juniper that well.

"You can't tolerate bullies, Juniper. What should I do? See you being punched in the face? Or in the stomach? And you hide it until you graduate?" Serkan asked angrily.

Juniper smirked bitterly, it was like Juniper found it funny the thing that Serkan said. "Bullies won't hurt me anymore, Serkan."

No one really knew that meaning at that time or years later but they concluded it was his way to show that he was having a stronger heart than all of them. That he was ready to face the bullies and it's not really affecting his life.

"Juniper," Serkan called, shook his head, "You live here with us now."

Wyn was grateful at Rayinu's suggestion of choosing 4 rooms in their apartment. It was a big apartment that Rayinu said maybe once or twice a week Juniper might want to stay the night so it wouldn't be hurt if they prepared his room. It was psychic of him now that Wyn thought about Rayinu's decision.

It was no longer Juniper's eyes that grew furious, it was his face and body. "I don't want to!" He refused firmly.

That tone certainly would make them shut up usually and just let things go. But Serkan was very adamant. At this point, Wyn wondered if he and Rayinu should just get out of the apartment and come back when it was decided whether Juniper would stay or not?

"You have to. You already bring your things. Here, they wouldn't hurt you, June," Serkan stated.

Wyn thought it was very brave of Serkan at that time. But, Serkan was indeed a brave man.
