Drifted Lovers: The Chocolate Raspberry [COMPLETED]

Chapter Thirteen: Elle's Contract: Crashed Haru's Heart

"We need to go?" Jee stood and panicky in pulling Elle's hand. "Let go of the hand Jee." Haru said as he tried to calm himself of jealousy while in his very eyes, he could see that Elle's hand was being held with care by another guy. " I am not here to freak out. Let me eat." Haru acting numb and enduring the envy. " Jee, we're fine. Finish eating now. Then we will leave afterwards." Elle requested. Wook motioned a shot glass to Elle and offered to pour a shot for her. " Let's have Soju first Elle, why is everyone being so tense. This is the first I have seen Nox in this particular mood." Wook cued Elle to drink the Soju. " Maybe, they are just adjusting to a new environment that I would be part of their routines for these coming days." Elle was trying to cover up the topic of scene happened in the huddle room.

" Someone was in need of cuddle so the huddle room begun to ..." Bom was interrupted by Haru's kick and his lips were pouting to brush off his comrade's consecutive steer to open up the incident.

" Haru, Can I have you for a minute?" Elle said out of the blue. " Shit! Aaaaah" Wook's Soju flowed out of his nostrils in surprise while Bom was giggling and his shoulders which can almost reach his ears and Jee seemed to be hurt but still polite in manner and continued to eat. " Haru!" Elle waved her hand. " I said, can I have..." Elle was interrupted. " Already had me. Why still asking?" Haru implicitly remarked.

"Uhmm!" Elle's heart beat faster unconsciously and she drunk the last shot of her Soju, stood up and cued Haru to follow her. " That girl? Why like her so much? She acts so lesbian-ish in my perspective." Wook complained while looking at Haru and Elle moving a bit of distant from them. " Sheesssh pretty! And kind!" Bom murmured while having a big lettuce wrap in his mouth. Jee kept quiet for a second, seemingly was enduring jealousy and shockingly...

He suddenly drunk the liquor shot which was supposed for Bom. "Hey!" Wook was too late to stop Jee. " You crazy? My suit is not yet tailored for your burial! Why drink? You are allergic to liquor! Whan will kill me!" Wook said in terrible fear of Whan if Jee would trigger some of his allergy. Bom just shook his head and ignored the stubbornness of Jee and Wook's current state of rolling over the floor while gripping his hair tips near his both ears. " I already have my suit if Whan kills you Wook!Haha" Bom teased and picked up a piece of pork belly using his chopsticks. Wook continued his rolling over dilemma. "Aaaahhhh, I will quit being your friends! Nox! Quitting now! Ahaaaaa..." Wook said while imitating a crying tone.

The moment Haru and Elle reached the bench area of the restaurant, Elle gestured and Haru sat beside him. " When and where to start? Elle thought. " Are you Janelle?" Haru attempted to be straight to the point. Elle looked at him as if she wanted to say yes however she had her contract signed and she knew his Uncle was up into something which would not be harmful to his people. So Elle chose the best decision she could do and that was to break Haru's heart into pieces.

" No I am not. My full name is Eleonor." She lied. "Yes, I am from Sove but I am not a worker or owner of Pumpkin and Spice." She said while trying to hold her trembling lips by biting it. "However, I love that place. We used to hang out their when Uncle Bada was just starting his company. I love their chocolates. Those were closest to my heart." Elle winked and smiled to Haru. The handsome foxy eyes of Haru was fixed to Elle. He seemed to shred every layer of Elle's being and his glare unconsciously made a peering sensation to Elle's soul. " Haru, you know I want to meet you. And be honest, I am a big fan of your group. That is the reason why I was so excited to meet you. I was just shocked when you claimed that I was a person you know whom unfortunately not." This part was a sincere statement and Elle did not really recognize who was Haru in her life. " Look at this." Elle grabbed her phone and opened it. " Is Jee your boyfriend already? wallpaper says it?" Haru envied question pointing the screen and looking so innocent in Elle's view of him. " This man is a hell good looking tsk tsk." She thought inside her mind while Haru's face was close to her. "Uhmm No, He is my most favorite ever since.Ignore that I will show you other stuff." Elle touched the logo for her gallery.

The gallery showed photos which were captured on Elle's pre and post therapy and she was in a hospital with a range of 3 months of confinement and 3 months of rehabilitation. This shattered Haru's state of mind and swirled into a deep blackhole of endless confusing thoughts.

" Haru, I could never be in Pumpkin and Spice on the particular day you are saying. I was in a middle of therapy and my mind and body was still recovering inside the hospital facility. I had checked it to Mr. Jung and the date you were in Sove for a concert was not parallel to the exact time table I had that month. So it was very impossible." Elle explained and she noticed that Haru was sobered in his palm. Elle grabbed Haru's hand and tried to calm him. " Hey dude! you are so masculine but you cry easily.Haha" Elle teased. " Even if I am not your Janelle in Sove. I think we can still be friends right?" Elle suggested. " I will be staying in our company for couple of months or even a year and so. Depending on the progress of our 3 little kittens." Elle tried to make Haru laughed. " Haha kittens? They look rats for me." Haru laughed while sniffing. " Three blind mice perhaps?" Elle added and they laughed. " Haru, let's settle this please! Start a new." Elle requested. " Greetings?" Haru asked.

" Yup but no hugging okay?" Elle teased him. " I am Haru, bassist, most handsome and talented middle child in Nox Band. Nice to meet you." Haru beamed a bright smile to her and offered a hand shake. " I am Elle from Sove, I will be the English Coach of Nox Band for some time. Take care of me please and let's learn in happy ways." Elle reached Haru's hand.

Haru's heart was shattered; completely broken as she could not accept that the gorgeous lady in front of him whom he hugged and drew his body next to her was just a mystery of how and why she was not Janelle-- his basement girl-- his Sove weirdo lady. However, seeing the photographs which were enough evidence for him that Elle and Janelle were not the same person made him wanted to move on soon but he needed more answers.

" If you are not the Sove girl I met? Then who are you and who was she?" Haru peered his glace to Elle's beauty as she looked at to the city lights of night sky. Haru kept his thougtful questions and just treasured the moment of being with a person who he thought he loved the most.

" When will that face stop crashing my heart? You did it in Sove and in here as well.

"He kept to himself, brushed his hair upwards then removed his own scarf,tangled it gently to Elle's and protect her from the coldness. " Thank you Haru!" Elle smiled and Haru sighed for he was being so tortured by just listening to her voice.
