"Why does someone come to your house at this time, Arvin?" Angela was so nervous that she could hear her heartbeat. They are in Arvin's house and wearing pajamas...
What if that someone was from the Gu family? No, no matter whom it is, if he or she saw them in pajamas, she doesn't know how to explain for herself.
She couldn't be found! And she decided to hide.
Arvin watched Angela rush to the balcony of the bedroom. She closed the door and switched off the light so nobody could see her...
The cold breeze of autumn welcomed her as she stepped outside. She shivered because she was only wearing her thin pajamas....
He didn't care who came into his apartment. Instead of going to the front door, he opened the door of the balcony to pull Angela back into the room. He cared so much for her that he didn't want her to freeze out in the cold.
"What are you doing, Arvin? I don't want to come in. If someone found us like this, we wouldn't be able to explain for ourselves!" Angela tried to release her hand from Arvin's grasp.
Of course, Arvin was stronger than her. He was able to get Angela inside the room and he put her back to bed. He covered her with the blanket and ordered, "Don't move!"
Angela was fascinated by his profound eyes and nodded in approval. She didn't make any attempts to move at all.
That was when Arvin decided to release her. Before he left the bedroom, he switched off the light and closed the door immediately.
He opened the front door of his apartment before it was about to get kicked.
It was Aron who was calling Arvin, "Arvin, what were you doing? I have seen your car in the parking and do you want to pretend that you are not at home?"
Aron began to blame Arvin. He barked, "Do you know how long I have been here? It's for almost four minutes! If you didn't open the door, I would have kicked it!"
Arvin was accustomed to his brother's bad temper. He stopped Aron who was about to come inside his apartment. "I'm ready to sleep now, why are you here?"
"Mom wanted to come here with me but I had some business in the neighborhood so I arrived before her." Aron stepped forward but Arvin was still blocking the way. Aron looked at Arvin with confusion.
Arvin tried to push him out. "Why does mom want to come here?" he asked.
"Uh, you let me come in first. It's a little cold outside." Aron wore only a thin gray shirt.
Arvin stepped aside so that Aron could make his way into the living room.
"Why does mom need to come here at this time?" He asked once again.
Aron changed his shoes and sat in the leather sofa. "I don't know. I just got a phone call from her and came here."
Aron rarely come in his Arvin's apartment except only on a few occasion because he couldn't stand his neat freak brother!
Arvin was about to call Teresa but he noticed that his phone was left in the bedroom. He told Aron, "Give mom a call and ask her if she has something urgent to talk about. If it wasn't really important, ask her not to come tonight because I'm very tired from all the surgical procedures I did earlier."
"It seems that she will come here with Nita. You'd better tell her yourself. I'm tired too!" he refused. Aron leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes.
Arvin locked the front door and went to his bedroom to get his phone.
"Why don't you switch the light on?" Aron asked when Arvin opened the door of his bedroom and walked in the dark.
Arvin didn't answer his question. He quickly closed the door and took his cellphone on the beside table. The moonlight and street lamps were guiding him as he walked inside the room.
Angela moved inside the blanket. Arvin lifted the sheet from her face and lowered himself on the floor. "Do you want to suffocate yourself to death?" he asked her.
Angela shook her head. It was impossible for her to be suffocated because the sheet was breathable. Seeing his eyes, she pressed her index finger on his lips. "Hush... Who is out there?"
Due to the thick walls separating the bedroom and the living room, Angela could only hear someone's voice but she couldn't recognize whether it was from a man or a woman.
"It's my brother. You don't have to cover your face because he won't try to come in here!"
