Chapter 327 - This will hurt him (2/2)
”Don't appear in shows directly, help behind the scenes. It's too risky,” Yang muttered. He suddenly bent down and brought his lips to her neck. ”Don't get too close with Chauncey Long.”
”Eh?”
”I'm only tolerating him by your side, since I need to investigate. Don't get too close to him, he's a dangerous man.”
'Look who is talking,' Setsura thought. Chauncey Long isn't a bad guy. She has learned that much. But Yang is right to get cautious, Chauncey Long belongs to the enemies side. She needs to be careful towards him.
”Alright.”
For the first time in awhile she saw his lips curve to a genuine smile. He drew her close and placed kisses on her neck and cheeks. ”Setsura, don't get too angry at me.”
Now that Yang mentioned it, her eyes twitched in annoyance. ”Of course I'm angry!”
”That's why I'm apologizing, geez don't be annoying.”
'This is his apology?' Aah, why is she even dating this jerk? Then again Akito wasn't exactly the best guy either. Still, why does this keep happening to her? She's had enough of all this pain and going back and forth. Her thoughts broke off when Yang suddenly hugged her.
”How's this? Will it make you stop shaking?”
”Ah...”
Yang noticed. That's why he suddenly hugged her...
”Don't worry. I'll protect you. No matter what, I will. So, calm down.” His voice is gentle...It's as if all the uneasy feelings are leaving her. How strange, even though just now she felt as though she was bout to break down in more ways than one. He really does care about her...she can feel it... somehow it's nice.
”Why'd you get quiet?Are you still scared?”
Setsura blinks, ”Eh?”
”I get it. I'll make you forget about all your troubles then. …”
”Mn...”
Her eyes went wide when she felt his lips on hers.H-He suddenly kissed her! ” Haah...This will fill your head with thoughts only about me, won't it? Don't think about all that other stuff.”
S--so that's why, he's doing it so she could feel better.
”O-Okay...” Setsura muttered. ”Thank you, Yang. I already feel better.”
”Really? You're not just trying to be tough here?” Yang looked her up and down.
”No, it's true. I calmed down all thanks to you. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but...as long as you're with me, things will be okay.”
That's right, she's no longer alone anymore that's why she shouldn't take on this burden herself. Still, the same goes for him, ”I can't help directly. But, give me the files you receive. I'll work things out,” she suggested.
Yang nodded, ”Alright, take my bag. There are a few things there. I will get going. Have you calmed down for real?”
”I have, thank you.”
He briefly brushed their foreheads together, it overwhelmed her, reminding her of Akito. ”Setsura, I really am sorry for my behaviour lately. But, I can't control myself lately.”
Ah, is he talking about the other Yang? His split personality? The two of them never openly discussed it, but eventually they will not be able to ignore it.
Even long before she dated her fiancee - they had a peculiar relationship.
The relationship between the two of them is something everyone around them has always been curious about them. They can't simply be called friends but they weren't lovers either; there has always been something much more. But the cause of that bond in the first place has always been over something superficial. Because they were both the same, constantly loosing people that's important to them. It was as simple as that.
That's why, it wasn't a surprise when it didn't take her long to realize something whenever she entered a relationship with anyone.
No matter she harboured feelings for or went out with. That guy would always remain important to her. That ' importance' is what's leading her to be troubled now. It's just a matter of time, considering the flow of events and the attacks recently.
Yang will definitely find out. Before he does she has to say it. She has to be the one to tell him, to ease his pain even if it's just a little bit. Whether it's her fiancée or Akito, both are the ones occupying her heart the most.
