My Eyes On You

"Hey Rain, what are you doing here? Why are you alone in this park?"

Rain was stunned and his hand movements suddenly stopped. He turned around slowly and saw Forth approaching him. The man who was bigger than him sat next to him.

Rain can smell the masculine scent of cinnamon and musk from Forth.

"I thought you were in the club with your gank. Why alone here?"

Rain looked at Forth with furrowed brows. "You yourself, why are you here? Your friends are probably getting drunk at the club," Rain said bluntly.

"Well! I'm bored," replied Forth flatly. "The club's been getting crowded lately, and I just want to walking around and I saw you here. What are you doing?"

"Looking through the flyers," Rain replied, pointing to some of the pieces of paper in his hand. "I wasn't in the club mood either, and Pharm and Kit weren't there anyway. They were busy entertaining their boyfriends."

Forth caught the bitter tone in Rain's sentence and became curious about it. Since entering the beginning of their third year at Metronomia University, Forth had met Rain alone several times. At the club, at the mall, and occasionally around the medical college, as he passed it on his way home or in his spare time. Pharm and Kit are rarely seen with Rain anymore, after they had a boyfriend.

"Why don't you find yourself a girlfriend?" asked Forth half muttering.

"Hm? What did you say?" Asked Rain.

"No. What flyers is this?" Forth leaned towards Rain and took a look at the flyers in Rain's hand. His sharp nose almost touched Rain's cheek.

"Apartment? You want to move?"

Rain nodded. He didn't dare turn his head because he was aware of Forth's position which was very close to him. Forth moved away from him and he was surprised when he realized, there was a slight feeling of disappointment in his heart because of Forth's movement.

"Why, Rain? You don't feel at home in your apartment right now? Haven't you been living there since the beginning of college?"

"I just wanted to try something new. Do you have any recommendations for a suitable apartment?"

Forth laughed and tilted his head. "It's like fate. I'm also looking for a new apartment, actually."

Rain's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Forth nodded. "Want to look it up together? We can rate each other the apartments we see," Forth said.

"Sure. Tell me, what kind of apartment do you want?"

"Not too close to campus but not too far, two rooms, with living room, kitchen and dining area and balcony if possible."

"That sounds like you're looking for a house, Forth."

"Hm, maybe, if there's a suitable house, I'll take it too. What kind of apartment do you want?"

"I don't think it's much different from what you described earlier."

"What time do you finish school tomorrow?"

"3 pm."

"I'll pick you up, then. I'll bring an extra helmet for you. Are you oke if got my bike? Its more practical."
