Rika's Apartment – 9:35 PM

It's annoying.

Really annoying.

Mr. Great Hacker, Seven! Aren't you a man? Why would you reject your soon-to-be lover?

Oh yeah, I like the sound of that. Lover, not girlfriend. Because I'm the one who loves you. Soon-to-be because I know that he's just being difficult right now. It's not that I don't take his words seriously, but I knew that he was pushing me away for my own good. If he cares = he loves. Right? Right?

... Who am I kidding? His rejection still hurts. It hurts me how he hurts himself like this by pushing me away. This whole thing about his brother being the hacker that he's been pursuing made him crumble, too. He mentioned something about intelligent agency as well. My guess is that he neglected his work to save me.

I glance at his broad back... how I miss him. I miss his cheerful side, saying how he would take me to the space station, how happy he was that we can laugh together because we share same jokes. Above all, I miss Seven who cares about me, and being honest with his feelings.

Can't stand the silence any longer, I grab my phone and look up his number.

Please don't reject the call, please, please...

"What is it? Why did you call?" he answered, eyes finally on me.

Thank god.

"Can you please just look at me?" I plead. Oh, how I missed those pair of eyes. Unfortunately, it's not too long until he avert his eyes from me, back to his "job".

"We're in the same house. Why do I need to look at you?" he huffed, "I'm here. Isn't it stupid to talk to me on the phone when we're in the same place?"

'Your fault for ignoring me, mister!' I thought. The bed made creaking noise when I came down, attempting to get closer to him.

"Oh, but don't come closer," I halt my steps, "We need to keep our distance! I always work alone. It's uncomfortable just being with you here."

'Should I really give him some space? I do love to be close to him, but I don't want to rush it. He's kind of agitated right now anyway...maybe he will talk comfortably without seeing me.' I walked away from him to the kitchen.

"Oh! Stop , stop there...!"

'Oh?' I halt my steps again, looking at him from inside of the kitchen. I saw his eyes on me again, looking flustered before he averted his eyes again.

"Please don't disappear from my sight though. It makes me nervous."

Can I scream now? Squeal? Hug him right there?

"I know you're uncomfortable with me suddenly coming here..."

You're kidding? The space is kinda uncomfortable, but it sure will be great if I can sit beside you...

"I'll try to solve this as fast as I can and go back so please just hang in there." he said, "From this moment, I'm just going to stare at the wall and work so don't call me, and don't talk to me. I need to focus."

"But don't disappear from me just because of that. I can sense you moving so just stay still there. You can read if you're bored."

I'm reading your mind right now, though. Too much mixed signal, I'm confused as hell.

"And... wear a jacket or something. And don't skip your meals just because I am. Okay?"

Should I feed you from far away? Like feeding a beast?

"Then I'm going back to work."

Then I'll go back to secretly glance to your broad back from afar...

Author Notes:

I love it! I love how MC has so much guts to call an angry man, hahahah! I myself, can be quite a coward if I fight with my boyfriend. I don't have the courage to talk to him. Please take a nice example from MC and 707. You can be angry but you can't stop caring ^^
