Taste of His Words

Terra can taste words. Not the words itself but the emotions behind them, its ardency is proportional to the intensity of its flavor. Joy is sweet, sadness is salty, anger is spicy, fear is sour, while disgust is bitter. Specific emotions taste closely to those they are related with, some are fainter and others are distinct. To her, daily life is a flurry of flavors until he came, whose words tastes like nothing.

Lunox felt frozen. It feels like being submerged in a deep body of water with a numbing cold temperature for a long time. It hurts, he badly wanted to get out to breathe except he had been already drowned a long time ago. When his parents died on a plane crash, he was left alone and lost with a younger brother to take care of. Full of pain, regret, and responsibilities, his heart have no space for this frustratingly cute girl whose lingering stares are making him uncomfortable. She's shameless enough to continue despite being caught and even after being told to back off. He wanted her to stop or rather, he will make her stop as soon as possible, because he might be comfortable enough with her to find himself starting to like her attention.

What happens when a restless mind finds interest in a cold heart?
