[9]

People might be jealous and envy us.

It might seem like we are a perfect couple.

Always remember that,

There are no perfect thing in this world.

How could someone resist a person like you, Mu?

When you made our relationship colorful.

How can I forget it?

Exhibit 1

It was already past 9 in the evening when Earth felt a sudden hunger. He is craving for a noodles near their university and still open until 11 in the evening. Earth grabbed his phone and dialed Kao's number. "The number you dial is busy at the moment. Please try your call later" Earth frowned when Kao didn't answered the call. 'What is he doing right now?' Earth thought to himself and redialed. Still busy. For the fourth time of calling, Kao finally answered. "What?" Kao calmly said. "Why aren't you answering my call?" Earth exclaimed as his eyebrows quickly went up. "I'm playing xbox, Mu. Why?" Kao answered while playing xbox. "Aw! You chose xbox more than me? I was about to ask to eat with you outside but you're still busy." Earth exclaimed and hung the phone call and pouted and crossed his arms with disbelief. "It's okay, I can go on my own!" Earth exclaimed and grabbed his wallet and car keys. When he was about to head out and opened the gate, he saw Kao sitting on his motorcycle. "Why are you here?" Earth asked and pouted. "I'm sorry, Mu. I really didn't notice that you call" Kao exclaimed held Earth's hands. "Why aren't you wearing your helmet?" Earth removed his hands from Kao's and crossed his arms. "I couldn't find it and I rush to go here. I'm afraid that you'll get hungry" Earth was touched. "You just park your motorcycle inside, let's use the car first."

Exhibit 2

It's a windy afternoon at Kao's faculty. He was scrolling on his facebook when he saw someone's messing with Earth. The man looks like he is flirting Earth. Kao clenched his fist. 'I need to see this man!' Kao thought to himself. He chugged his drink and harshly wiped his lips. "I'm here!!" Earth shouted as he ran towards Kao. Kao didn't look at Earth. Earth seems clueless and he sat down beside Kao and hugged him from his side and moved to the chair in front of Kao. Kao ignored Earth and continued scrolling. "Lung? lung?" Earth called but Kao didn't look. "Throwing tantrums?" Earth asked. Kao continued scrolling. "Kukikukak" Earth tried to act cute in front of Kao but didn't work. He took a deep sigh. "Ohoh lung! What's your problem?" Kao looked at him then looked at the phone. He showed it to Earth. "What?" Earth asked. "Who is this man?" Kao furiously asked. Earth just stared at the phone and read the conversation of him and the man. "Oh, that's my classmate. Why?" Earth asked back. "I don't like him!" Kao said and continued scrolling. "Why? Are you jealous? Ohoh! Lung also can feel jealousy?" Earth teased. "Tsk" Kao exclaimed and frowned his face. Earth took a deep sigh and held Kao's hand and stared at Kao's deep eyes. 'Your deep eyes attracts me, lung' Earth thought to himself. "I love you, lung" Earth sincerely said and stared at Kao for a minute. Earth kissed Kao's forehead. They both close their eyes. "I will not leave you, lung. I promise." Earth exclaimed and handed his pinky finger to Kao. Kao also handed handed his. He already knows what to do when Earth always shows his pinky finger. "I will also take good care of you, Mu. I promise." Kao added and kissed Earth's forehead. They stared each other for a minute and they stick their foreheads together.

Exhibit 3

It's an exciting yet nerve-wracking afternoon for Earth today. This is the day what he had been working hard for. Today is his panel defense for his thesis. He is with his friends today getting ready for their defense also. 'Where's lung?' Earth thought to himself as he shakes his hands because he's nervous. He dialed Kao's number for encouragement. "The number you dialled is busy at the moment. Please try your call later." 'Lung really! You really don't know how to unmute your phone!' Earth thought to his mind. "Are you okay, Earth?" One of Earth's batchmate asked. "Yeah" Earth added so his batchmate nodded. Earth rechecked his model and his presentation. When Kao's patiently waiting for the flower, his phone keeps on ringing and he knows that it's Earth. He looked at the clock at the flower shop. 'His defense will be starting in a few minutes. Oh no!' Kao thought as he looked at the cashier fixing the flower. Kao rubs his palm and his knees trembles. He's sure that Earth is sulking right now. "Here!" the cashier said. Kao just said 'thanks' and quickly drove to the university. Meanwhile, it's Earth's turn to present his model. He took a deep sigh before he entered the room. "Mu!" Kao shouted and Earth's friend turned around and saw Kao running. "Why are you late? Why didn't you answered my call--" Earth didn't finished with his talking because Kao covered his mouth. "I'm sorry" Kao sincerely said. "Good luck, Mu!" Kao exclaimed and kissed Earth's forehead. Earth's nervousness suddenly turned to excitement ever since he saw Kao running towards him. "Yieeee" Earth's friends exclaimed. "Go get it!" Kao exclaimed and showed a mini bouquet. Earth smiled brightly and nodded. Earth went inside the room with his model and presentation. 'Good luck, Mu. You've worked hard for this' Kao thought to himself.

Exhibit 4

It's past 12 o'clock in the midnight. Kao keeps walking back-and-forth because Earth hasn't been calling him for an hour. Kao stopped on playing because he's worried. Kao grab his motorcycle key and went outside. He scratches his hair with anger and frustrations. He quickly drove to the bar near their university. When Kao arrived, he parked his motorcycle and went inside. The place has a loud music and loud bass. The bar is dark yet you can see some hint of different shades of light. Drunk people everywhere, making out, dancing wildly and Kao can smell the scent of alcohol. 'Where is Mu?' Kao thought to himself as he struggles on finding Earth. Kao couldn't help but bit his lips. He is mad. But he's more worried. He wandered through the place and finally saw Earth standing at the top of the table with his friends dancing and holding a glass of liquor. Kao walked towards Earth and tapped Earth's arms. Earth looked at Kao and smiled. "Lung!!" Earth shouted and wobbly hugged Kao. Kao can smell the liquor. "Let's go home! You're already drunk." Kao calmly said. Earth went down from the table. He showed his pointing finger and hushed Kao's lips. "I am not drunk, lung! See? I can still stand straigh--" Earth wobbled but Kao quickly caught him. "You're drunk" Kao emphasize. "I love you" Earth said and smiled. "I am not drunk, lung!" Earth exclaimed. 'You are drunk, Mu. You told me that you love me and I know that drunk people never lies.' Kao thought to himself. He put's Earth's left arm on his shoulders and grabbed Earth's things. He helped Earth walked and drove him home. Kao was mad before but it faded when he finally saw him in person.

Now tell me,

How can I forget it?
