124 Tizik (1/2)
Of course, Hayden couldn't return to Foriast right this instant as their activities for the day wasn't done. There were still the official individual interviews and team press conferences, so that they can be introduced to the world.
These two bothersome events ended only at 3:00 PM. Afterwards, Hayden was absolutely socially exhausted. He treated this as training for his social battery for when he becomes an actor and singer.
Returning to his room, Hayden got a pleasant surprise. It was Sayuri. She wore a red shirt with a cute chibi puppy in the middle and regular denim shorts. She was full of cuteness and hotness. As well as raw sexual appeal. ”Oh, Sunshine? You're this early? Where are the others?”
”I asked for a little alone time with you.” Sayuri leaned close to him and positioned her hands behind her back. ”Aren't you happy?”
”Of course I'm happy.” Hayden tapped Sayuri's nose. Sayuri couldn't control herself and pounced on Hayden, kissing him. Hayden had to carry her. ”Tsk, you're really aggressive when it comes to kissing.”
”Your attractiveness is too powerful.” Sayuri pouted. Hayden couldn't resist kissing her back. ”Thanks for giving me the access to the hotel room.”
Hayden gently laid Sayuri down on the bed. ”Why wouldn't I? You're also my girlfriend. It'd be stupid if I didn't let you access the hotel room.”
Sayuri ruffled Hayden's head prior to pulling it to her lips. The scene became steamy. Ultimately, they still didn't do it as they both agreed not to until the third week.
”You're hard down there.” Sayuri teased Hayden as something poked her. ”Are you that aroused?”
”Who wouldn't be aroused in this situation?” Hayden dryly smiled as he kissed Sayuri back again. ”It'd be strange if I wasn't.”
”Heh, my little Hayden.” Sayuri let go of her arms wrapped around her neck and pinched his cheeks. ”Why are you so darn cute?”
In order for him to not get drowned in lust, Hayden let go of Sayuri. ”It's hard maintaining sanity in this situation without Divine Perception.”
”Is my sexual appeal and beauty that high?” Sayuri hugged Hayden from behind, closely sticking her body with his.
”In all honesty, it is.” Hayden admitted with a sigh. He stroked Sayuri's arms. ”It's good that I'm a man with high self-control. If you were in my shoes, you would've ravaged you.”
”What a pervert.” Sayuri chuckled at the joke hidden in the compliment.
”I'm your pervert now.” Hayden joked again. Gently removing Sayuri's hand, Hayden twisted and hugged her, placing one of his hands on the small of Sayuri's back. He sofly said, ”You know why I picked Sunshine as your nickname?”
”Why?” Sayuri didn't lift her head up, burying it further.
”That's some next level complimenting right there.” Sayuri chuckled. ”Why are you this good of a man?”
”Why are you so beautiful?” Hayden deflected the question with a serious and gentle tone. If he wasn't able to provide at least these kind of compliments for such world-staggering beauties, there was no way he deserved them.
”Tsk, following it up with a cliché line. I hate you.” Sayuri cutely hit Hayden's chest with her right hand. Abruptly, she perked up her nose as she sniffed Hayden. ”You've been with a woman. A beautiful one. And you've been somewhere. Where?”
”I'll tell you when the time comes.” Hayden lightly caressed the back of Sayuri's head. ”For now, I am forbidden to tell you. Don't worry, I'm not in any mortal danger.���
”As long as you're safe.” Sayuri's face was full of worry. It was that of genuine worry that would make you to feel you're really loved. ”You can't die on us.”
”I know.” Hayden cupped Sayuri's face with his hands. ”Don't worry, you know me.”
Hayden wouldn't inform Sayuri that he risked his life for a few hours of increasing his circulation speed. It was unnecessary and will create ceaseless worry.
This will be a headache for Hayden. Not to mention that it will worry Sayuri and Eun-ha. As Sayuri will, without a doubt, inform her. Hayden didn't want that.
The next thing they did was to watch a movie. Sayuri liked watching movies with Hayden. Until she saw Hayden was asleep. ”Must be exhausted from all the interviews, huh?”
…..
Waking up, Hayden was in the comfortable embrace of Sayuri. She wasn't asleep and was watching something. Hayden was reminded of his first time sleeping on Eun-ha's lap in South Korea.
'Feels like a million years ago.' Hayden mused himself as he rubbed his head on Sayuri the same way they'd do. ”Thanks for letting me sleep.”
”You looked tired.” Sayuri pecked Hayden on the head. ”Let me guess, interviews and press conferences?”
”Yes.” Hayden smacked his lips. ”That interview and press conference drained my social battery. These publicity stunts overload my brain.”
”You do quite good though.” Sayuri said as she looked at Hayden on her chest. ”You hide your introversion quite meticulously.”
”It's easy to come up with an answer that will satisfy people.” Hayden answered in a matter-of-factly tone. ”Not too much information and humble. Sometimes, you have to joke a bit, and sometimes you have to forego humbleness. This is the most basic essence for coming off as friendly. Also, subconscious communication with body language. It's all easy once you study human psychology.”
”Eh…” Sayuri was surprised and not at the same time of Hayden's words. ”You really are intelligent. Even if you don't think you're handsome, you think that you're at least a bit attractive, don't you?”
”Needless to say.” Hayden confirmed this. ”I think I am attractive, but not to the point that I will attract you guys. I never anticipated that.”
”Tsk, humble mouth.” Sayuri was becoming increasingly fond of Hayden. ”I take it that you have something to do?”
”That can be postponed.” Hayden had his priorities straight. He was thirsty for power. He wasn't greedy. There's a difference. ”For now, you're with me, and I'm with you. You guys will always be my first priority.”
”No.” Sayuri pushed Hayden away. ”You're the one who told us, 'Don't make your lives revolve around me.' Yet, you're doing the same. You should go. I can tell that what you're doing is something important.”
”I…” Hayden was speechless of Sayuri. He smiled at her. ”When have you become this sage? Even using my own words against me.”
”Just go, you idiot.” Sayuri exhibited a cute titter that nearly killed Hayden. ”You always have time for me. For us. Focus on yourself sometimes.”
'Not like I'm doing this solely for myself.' Hayden closed his eyes and took a deep breath. ”Okay, I'll go now.”
In an instant, Hayden's clothes changed into his white shirt and athletic shorts. A black mask materialized in his hands. ”I probably won't be back till tomorrow.”
”I sensed that.” Sayuri snorted. ”Don't worry about me. I'll call Eun-ha and maybe a few others. There's also Dusk and Dawn to keep me company.”
”Don't overdo it, Sunshine.” Hayden opened the window and jumped out.
”That boy is a mess.” Sayuri chuckled. ”Ah, why are you so attractive?”
…..
It was 5:00 PM when Hayden was greeted back by Ysa and Jin. This time, they got rid of their shock already and talked with Hayden casually.
”Told you that he was special.” Ysa mischievously rubbed this fact in Jin's face. ”Le-Fenrir here is a person that will change the world.”
”You say that only because I gave you that Mellow Explosion.” Hayden rolled his eyes at Ysa. ”I'm not releasing that to the public anytime soon, you know? It's wholly experimental. And even if it was finished…”
”Why not?” Ysa pouted at Hayden in an attempt to be cute. It was not that she was cute… It was that she was 180 years old. He wasn't discriminating her for her age, it was that he wouldn't date a person that was over 160 years old than him.
”Because I'm planning to keep this recipe as a personal one.” Hayden lied with ease. He was not going to divulge that he has girlfriends. What's more, it was plural. ”It will be a special candy for me and my family alone.”
”Is this a hint saying that I should seduce Le-Fenrir?” Ysa smiled at Hayden. Hayden blankly gazed at her in the eyes, low-key implying 'what the fuck are you talking about?' Ysa's face twitched. She was immediately angered. ”Cannot take a joke, jeez.”
Hayden was led back into Foriast. The sky was similar to the sky outside, with a sun setting on the horizon. ”That's still as stunning as it was the first time I've seen it.”
”Wait till you've seen it during the night.” Ysa smiled. ”It is the starriest night you will have witnessed in your life. There's even Aurora Lights.”
”I'm looking forward to it.” Hayden nonchalantly replied. Hayden, Jin, and Ysa all entered Foriast. Hayden was led to the centermost building this time, the Tizik. Tizik roughly translates to 'City Center.'
It was huge, approximately 200 meters in height. Not at all what you'd expect from an edifice in an underground city. ”This is the farthest we can accompany you, Le-Fenrir.”
”We cannot go inside as the Yorixia and the Rixeus are privy people.” Jin said seriously. ”Not to mention that it's against our law to go in Tizik without any permission and that the Yorixia and Rixeus is literally our entire governing body.”
