Chapter 3 (1/2)
Here’s chapter 3
Hio’s POV
Equinox A phenoht are equal But in e, it only happened sometimes It’s lucky if it happens even once a year
Since we became part of the band Equinox, Kape and I also started a new life
Well forat day
It’s just that our job is really weird I feel that we’re OVERPAID compared to a real commissioned rocker Oh well, Noir is rich, for sure he’s just bored and he just has nothing to do with his money
And what’s fun is, we left the squatter’s area We rented a much better apartment in a much better place
Kape also broke up with Bakekang because there are nowus
Me? I also have soirlfriends But…
“BRO’ HEYOOO WAKEEEE UPPPP!”
PUNYETA!Is there a fire?!
“—What?!” I elbowed him
I’m still sleepy
“CHERRY! The woman that you answered favorably—” yep what he said was real There’s a girl who courted ht her here last night for some aka time
“—Oh so what?” you want her?
“—-SHE’S DEAD!”
I almost fell out of the bed because of what I heard froht and pulled his shi+rt “—Bro’ I don’t like that kind of jokes!”
“Proave me the newspaper
I read the article that he’s talking about He’s really not lying!
A woman, twenty years old found dead on a obscure lane near our home Her body is covered with blood and her heart was stabbed
My God… This is the 12th person!
At first I thought, that maybe it’s just a coincidence But over tiirlfriend end up dead Killed But by who?!
It’s also aaround to question me Because if you just connect all the crimes that happened, you’ll find that all the victims has a common denominator
ALL OF THEM WERE MY GIRLFRIENDS!
Fcking shi+t All of them didn’t even last for 2 days in my arms
Now I’m sure THERE’S SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO DIDN’T WANT ME TO BE HAPPY!
Hrrgggh…What’s this? I’M FOREVER ALONE?!
NOOOOOOOO!
But if I continued to stick to woht not stop
RIGHT! I need to shoulder this on and be a man I have to bear this sacrifice!
The women’s safety is in my hands!
Nice!
Mother fcker Hio, are you taking drugs?!
Fck It’s so stressful I need cigarettes!
I grab a cigarette and a lighter on the bedside
And I did the suck&puff technique The cigarette quickly became half I’m just that stressed
“You de to mourn Cherry?”
“Mother fcker! She’s Chinese! Here I lightened an incense for her!”
Kape don’t knohether to laugh or cry at my response
“By the way Kape, have you taken your vitaarette in the ashtray
Kape scratched his head in confusion “Yes But what is that vitamins for anyway?”
Kape’s accent is beco better His pronunciation of ‘vitamins’ is now correct All of my sacrifices finally bears fruit
“—Don’t ask All you have to know is that it’s not a poison and ra”
I look at the clock It’s already 5 PM For sure Noir is already up
I stood up and took a shower
After clothing rab the car’s key
“—-Where are you going Heyo? It isn’t time yet for our live show”
Are you my mother? ARE YOU MY MOTHER?
“I’ll leave the rest to you here” I shortly answered to him
I drove to the condominium where Noir and one of our band mate Nue currently stays
Noir is not living in thesolo since he turned 18 last month
When I arrived, Noir opened the door for me We step inside his room
In the span of five months, we cahtened
I can’t troll him like I did to Kape
If it’s just the two us, we talked about serious matters like a mature person
I sat on his bed
“Do you have a problem Hio?”
“You know, there is so I don’t understand”
He sat on an armchair in front of me “And what about it? May I knohat it is?”
“—I think…I’m involved on a cri”
“Crime?”
“All the woot killed And I don’t knohy Soo and—”
Noir suddenly laughed
My mood immediately turned sour I kneill not take this seriously!
He stood up and sat beside , shouldn’t you stop already? Will you wait until more lives were perish?”
I was shocked at what he said Of course I don’t want that I’uilty!
“—But hoill the ladies leave me alone?”
“—Let’s pretend to have a relationshi+p” He suggested to me with no hesitation at all
My jaw slacked and I almost drool but fortunately I sed it the last minute
He’s gay? Seriously?!
Are you deaf Hio? HE SAID PRETEND!
