Point of View: Eris Jane Trinidad
Drip, drop
“Uwa~” I hugged h me, “so cold! Brr~!”
The rain only ca that I took shelter under a cafeteria I can’t believe Eros! He left o from here…
I bit my lip and tried not to cry
And to top it off, I was really hungry
I sniffed The porridge s I wanted to buy some… But I didn’t have any money
I ot to live as one, ry
“Acho-o!”
“Oh, don’t tell et sick?”
Surprised, I looked up when I heard a boy’s voice Standing in front offace One hand of his were placed in his pockets, and the other was holding an uht shoulder
“Eros!” I quickly stood up, grinning at the sight of hi him, but…
“Stop! Stay away fro wet”
I was so close to hugging hi his u him
“Eros, you ca a few tears of joy away
“Tch,” he said before he re to hold me back
“Eros, Eros, look at this!” I raised h so he could see it, “there’s a small shade of red in the heart! It’s all because you came back for me!”
He looked at the heart before frowning
“Are you kidding me? All I can see in the heart is a dot of red! Is that a joke or so?”
“But Eros, coood deed Not only that, you did it half-heartedly so only a little got colored but don’t worry, that’s a good start!” I grinned at hi him a thumbs up
“What the fuck, a good start?! Tch!”
“Eros, no!”
“What?!”
“Look!” I showed hiain with a frown on my face
“Oi, why did the necklace suddenly turn fully black again?!”
“Well, you said a bad word!” I pouted, placing my hands on my hips
“So what? It’s my everyday vocabulary”
“You can’t do that! Whenever you do bad things, you deplete all the progress you’ve done The necklace will start to turn black again, and how much depends on the severity of the deed”
“What?! damn it, I can’t do that! I don’t want to do this anymore”
“Wah! Don’t give up! Don’t! Please Eros, please please please?! It’s only for oneOh wait! I forgot
I gripped Eros’ t-shi+rt again with ave hiroaned
“Alright, alright! Just let go of h!”
“Yehey, I love you Eros! Yay!” I cheered before gloh that he almost lost his balance
“Oh shi+t!” He yelped before pushi+ng ot me all wet, damn it! Tsk!”
I just stuck
“Tsk! Let’s just go!” He then turned around before starting to walk towards somewhere
I could only s that way he still had a chance to be a good person It always starts with a ser
“Oi, what are you s for over there?” He asked when I finally catched up to hirinned back at him
“I’m sure this mission will be a success”
“Ha? What’s with the confidence?”
“Because I trust you, Eros”
He didn’t say anything afterwards and I just let him be I’m just really happy, I knoe can do this! Yeah! Imy fist into the air
“Eros,” I stopped walking and started poking him on his left shoulder
“What!? daer aith an annoyed expression on his face I pouted while holding my stomach
“I’ry”
“So what if you’re hungry? Just eat then”
I opened up , “I don’t have any money Let me borrow soain! Please-!”
“Listennoo niya while he looked at me intently, “The only offer there is for you is a shelter It’s either you take it or leave it”
“How about food? I had nothing when I ca bumaba ako dito, pati damit na pampalit” T~T
“Does not concern me Decide now, take it or leave it”
But really… if he offered me food and clothes, it wouldn’t just be for my benefit, but also for his because if he does that, the necklace would get closer to being fully red I hed
I really don’t want to reood deed just to earn the heart’s color, it wouldn’t ood deed wholeheartedly, and it would just lead us to failure in this mission
“Okay…”
“Oh Eros, is that Eris? That girl you wanted me to let stay at my private clubhouse for the moment?”
As soon as we got inside a large house ide billiard board, an artificial golf course, with a big flat screen tv and wine bar in a corner which looked like it belonged to a clubhouse Then again, the guy that just spoke right now said that this was his clubhouse, so huh That figures
“Yeah yeah, that’s her,” Eros just dismissed him and left ed through it After a while, he came back with some clothes in his hands
