"Uh... uwawa-ah..."
Iesa's jaw trembled as her face blushed in red. It could be said that this is one of the most inappropriate reactions that one can have after what Seres just said.
However, although irritated, Seres didn't complain since she had so understanding of what might've happened. Furthermore, she also found it strange why this is Iesa's reaction.
"S-sorry, I... please continue...!"
Iesa was placed in a dilemma where she felt confused but was also aware that she was extrely rude. If what Seres just revealed just now was true then she was very insensitive, thinking of other things unconcerned. But at the sa ti, robbing Seres' of her turn to speak also felt wrong so Iesa panicked.
"No, it seed that you unlocked an important mory. Digest it first. As the situation it is right now, you wouldn't be able to understand my next words."
Feeling ashad, Iesa lowered her head.
"Well then, I'll be here at this ti again tomorrow and the day after - every day unless certain circumstances have changed. Goodbye."
"G-goodbye..."
Iesa nodded before Seres left. She stayed there for a while before she stood with a sigh.
'I should think this for a while once I'm back at the apartnt.'
But before she walked out-
"Ah! The bill." she turned to the cafe clerk but was inford instead.
"Umm, the woman earlier already paid for your al, Miss."
...
Walking back to her apartnt, Iesa was a bit skeptical at Seres' identity.
"She is certainly much mature than what she looked. The clerk even called her a woman. What would they call ?"
She slowly shook her head. Her pride as the older one was fading. But that was the point she was skeptical about.
"Is she really the younger one? I still haven't asked her intentions, why she knew , and why happened in general."
But most certainly of all, the most important thing for her was shoved to the back of her head. Only when she went back to her apartnt and dropped herself to the couch as if she was void of energy did that most important thing for her resurfaced to her attention.
"T-teren slept here..."
Iesa was in full disbelief. With that, the mories of the ti they spent together ca back to her one by one. It was as if a door one after another. The mory she thought was just a one-ti thing was coming back to him.
She opened the cabinet and saw snacks that were enough for two people. Before, she didn't mind it and thought that she just ate it alone if she had the appetite but now, she rembered it.
"We.. always ate together."
With hurried steps, she ca back to the living room, took the tv remote, and pushed the power button.
"We watched that series and even completed it... and this too!"
Beads of sweat were gliding on her face. Her heart pumped and as if desperate, she opened the door to her room.
"..."
She waited for a while if certain mories will co back to her but soon, she sighed. Whether if that sigh is of relief or disappointnt or even both, she will never know.
"I g-guess we're not dating and have not gone to that stage."
When she spoke of the word 'dating', another set of mories unlocked in her head.
She gasped.
"O-oh my god! I'm so bold!"
Iesa dropped to her knees. She could clearly rember her thoughts;
'One more push...'
The story behind it was that she thought Teren was not interested in her. Because if he is, why is he not taking advantage of it!?
'Did I misunderstand the puberty of boys?'
'Am I not pretty enough?'
'Is he swing the other way around then?'
Those were her thoughts. It was easy to feel that the other party is interested in you too, however, the human mind is quite complicated. The fear of rejection will beco a great obstacle. The less confident one is, the denser they are to the feelings of that other party.
Although they feel that way, they wouldn't be so impulsive to jump onto action.
However, Iesa was not blind. From ti to ti, she could see Teren's 'intimate gaze'
'He's interested in !' was the thought she wanted to hold on to. That is why she decided to beco passive-aggressive. Always pulling him in the apartnt, showing more skin, and even making frequent physical contact.
'NOOO!!!'
If Iesa scread her thoughts through her voice, almost all of her neighboring rooms will surely hear her.
A mont later, after finding out that no more mories were coming back to her, Iesa was hugging her legs tight.
"I'm... so bold."
It should be unnecessary to ntion that she was so embarrassed that she just wanted to disappear at that mont but what made her sohow depress was -
"So... he rejected ...?"
That was the only conclusion she arrived at. Sohow, it was inevitable.
From what she can rember, there were no other reasons why Teren would erase her mory. Of course, there is a lot of things she does not know but she couldn't be blad since her mood was sour and negativity was the only thing in her mind.
"S-so... he doesn't like - sniff."
Tears start coming out of her eyes. She looked miserable, like a woman rejected by her love... although that wasn't an analogy in this case...
"But... it soho-sniff feels wrong."
"He's a psychopath, a murderer, soone who killed both of his parents, and soone evil..."
"Why do I.... sothing's wrong with ... why don't I care for any of this?"
There was a short pause with a sad smile, she whispered.
"I guess this is what they call love is blind."
She laughed self-deprecatingly. Afterward, she began to calm herself and just accepted it.
"I guess I don't have a chance, huh. This must be the greatest rejection of all ti. He has to remove my mories just to reject , wow."
Iesa emotionlessly whispered
"So I don't have a chance..." she repeated, "We will never date..." her eyes began to lose their color as she stares at the empty space, "He will date another girl instead, huh."
Her voice lost its sadness, instead, it was just coldness.
"He will have another girl."
"They will hold hands on their dates."
"They will hug once in a while."
"Then they will kiss-..."
At that word, Iesa snapped out of her dangerous look.
"Hm? Kiss?"
Another mory returned.
