Just Stay (Unedited)

Seventeen

Happy April~~

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Jay realize that Cheng didn't talk to his friends these past few days so she try to talk to him. But instead of hearing his chuckle, she heard his silent.

Like she can hear all the things he not know how to put it into words. Clearly.

He's screaming.

Silently.

Make her hurt so much that she look deep into his eyes and pray. Pray that he has the strength for whatever he feels right now.

Cheng look into her eyes and seek that warm he always felt when they're together. Soothing him that this, all of this will be just fine. It's going to be okay. It's hard right now.... but it's going to be fine.

And she will always... always be there.

He lean closer to her and hug her. Not forgetting to inhale her fragrance. She wrap her arm around him as a respond make him breath in contently. Her stroking arm on his back make him realize that this is not a dream.

Not a dream like he always had.

"What do you means when you say you won't stay but you won't leave either?" Cheng ask her to break the silent. She think of an answer before say it out loud.

"It's means I won't stay," with this she feel Cheng tighten his hug while she laugh after a few moment of hard breathing.

The silent took a place for a few moment before Jay start talking again.

"I want you to make the right decision, and whatever it is, I will still somewhere you can reach," she whisper.

After a few moment and Cheng didn't reply, Jay tilted her head to see Cheng's face, yet he snuggle deeper into her neck, not wanting to be discovered.

Silent.

"If I not?"

"You will,"

"How do you know that?"

Silent.

She tilted her head and kiss his temple. Make he hum contently.

"I trust you,"

"Trust is a big word," he whisper.

She hum, agree.

"That's why I use it for you,"

"Force him,"

Michael run to Cheng. Try to grab his wrist but were slap harshly away. He try to talk to him. Try to make him understand.

Try to beg him.

But Cheng didn't want to hear him. Cheng just push him away. He just present his blank face.

He never did it to him.

Cheng never wear a face he can't read. Michael always know how to read it. He always know.

But this..

This is...

He don't know what it is.

"Force him,"

Words that slip clearly from Jay's lips triggered his determination to force Cheng to talk. Jay look fierce. And he know that she is right. Cheng can't have his way all the time.

He has to force him.

They have to force him.

"Cheng!" Ad and Michael try, and were slap harder, harsher. Hana and Lidy are stiff beside them. Don't know how to react with the new him.
