PLUTO English Translation

03 (LIKE WOMEN)

I stare at my younger twin from her bedside with mixed feelings. I don't understand why Aobe Aum was with that woman, she showed any signs of liking women. However... I can't say I don't understand anything because that kiss had such an impact on me that I've disregarded my twin's request to end the relationship. Why did I do that?....

Honestly, I know very little about May, or Metavee, my twin's ex-lover. I just learnt her real name a few days ago after I interrogated Jan. And when she asked if I had already broken up with May, I lied straight to her face.

"I already did'

"What did May say?"

She was devastated. She asked why I did that to her.

That doesn't sound like May. But... I guess anyone who gets dumped would be sad.

I used all the guys that I broke up with as references. Most of them responded that way. Why would Metavee be different or an exception? Never mind, because actually, I'm not planning to break up with her any time soon. I want to be sure about my feelings. Although I've had numerous boyfriends, I've never felt anything when I kissed them. Is it because, maybe... I'm not straight? Do I like women? I want to know my real preferences.

As I let my mind wander, my phone rings. Because I'm in the ICU, all the nurses turn to give me a hard gaze. So, I bend my head to apologize and hurriedly run out of the ICU to pick up the phone, feeling frustrated. But I quickly smile when I see the call from my best friend from high school.

"Pang, how's it going? You've disappeared."

"I just got back. I bought you a lot of stuff. Let's meet."

"I want to see you too. I have something I want to talk to you about."

"What's the matter? Why do you sound like that? Is everything okay?"

"A lot happened while you were gone. I'll tell you all about it when we meet."

"I really want to know now. When should we meet? This evening?"

"I can't."

"Don't play hard to get. You don't even have a job. How can you be busy... Or do you have a new boyfriend already? Can't you stay single for a bit?"

The playful, sarcastic voice makes me laugh.

"I'll tell you about it. I'll come see you at your condo."

"Okay. I'll tell my lover to leave if you're coming."

"Oh. Your lover is at your condo? Then, it's okay... "

"No... You're more important. We have to meet tonight. I want to get into your business."

I laugh a bit and hang up before I leave the hospital to go to Metavee's House. This is the fourth or fifth I have visited my twin's ex without a reason. I'm not sure why I want to see her, even though I don't even know her. I want to meet her so much that I'm annoyed at myself. Someone once told me that the smell creates memories, and it certainly does for me. The light jasmine scent followed me home and  haunted my dreams... the jasmine scent had no impact on me until I met the sweet-faced woman who has darkness as her best friend... Is it a pity? But I'm not that sensitive. So, what the hell is it... Geez... "May."

The study room is Metavee's favourite place. It's her base, which comes with cool conditioning and a jasmine scent. A breeze sweeps all of those things into my face as soon as I step into the room, making me feel good.

"I was wondering whether you would come today... Our hearts must be connected."

The petite woman says this as she looks the other way because she doesn't know where I'm standing. But because Metavee knows the position of all the furniture, she can move around them like she can see. The beautiful woman, who has darkness as her friend, reaches out her arms to sweep around the area, wanting to touch me. Seeing that, I feel bad and reach out my hands for her to grab.
