Sunset

Chapter VI. Moonlight Sonata

"You are not joking, right?" Lawrence asked. I wonder how many times he has already asked me this question now. We are now sitting in the couch and I have already told him everything and things are still sinking on his mind, slowly.

"Listen, you can't tell this to anyone. You know it will be a big trouble if anyone finds it out." I looked at Gusion who's currently leaning his back on the couch.

"I still can't believe this, Ren. How come a fictional hero is here, sitting in front of us?" He looked shocked and excited at the same time.

"Believe it or not, he is true." I said. Gusion glanced at me.

"Here's what I want you to do now. You have to find a way for me to go back home. Andㅡ"

"I told you I can't find a way," I interrupted Gusion.

"You still have not done anything." He said. I threw him a spiteful look.

"There must be a way," Lawrence said. "Did he tell you how he came here?"

"No, he didn't." We both looked at Gusion, waiting for his words.

"You have to tell us!" I said when he shook his head.

"I don't have to tell you how I came here. All you have to do is to find a way." He crossed his arms across his chest.

"But you have to tell us, Gus. Maybe it can help us," I sat beside him and he just looked at me with his eyes confused.

"What did you just call me?" He asked. My heart thumped. Gus.

"Justㅡtell us, okay?"

His eyes won't leave me. It's like they are reading my deepest thoughts. I looked away.

"I will tell you only if you found a way." He answered and walked inside his room. I was about to throw my slippers at him but Lawrence stopped me.

"Are you planning to settle here? You seemed calm. You have to find a way too!" I exclaimed.

"He's an assassin, Ren. It's dangerous." Lawrence whispered to me.

"But he is so annoying!" He really is. I sat down and crossed my arms. I want to know how he came here. Did he mean to go here? What did he do? Ugh!

"This is the reason why I was feeling something else when the first time I met him. I can't really believe it."

"Well, I couldn't believe it too. But his crazy daggers forced me to believe him. Did you know that he even pointed it right in my neck to threathen me?"

"Did he do that?" Lawrence sat beside me and he checked my neck. He looked confused when he saw nothing. Gusion's kiss healed it. "Will you be okay here?"

"Of course. And he won't harm me again. I am strong, remember?"

"You are a girl and you are with a guy. Will you be really okay here?" He sounded like a protective brother to me but my heart still thumped.

"I told you I am strong." He patted my head after I answered him.

"You can call me if anything happens to you, okay?" Then he messed up my hair and pinched my cheek. "I have to go now. My mother's waiting at the shopping mall."

"Oh," I paused. "Do you want to borrow the books?" He nodded and I packed the books inside a paper bag.

I walked him to the entrance and waved my good bye to him. Now that he already knows everything, there is no problem. We just have to find a way how to send Gusion back to his homeland. He can't stay here for the rest of his life.
