Sky started to gently stroke Zeva's face with his index finger. He did it so softly, and slowly, a smile formed on Sky's lips. Meanwhile, with her eyes still closed, Zeva also began to smile. Then, slowly, Zeva's eyes began to open. "Aaa!" Zeva screamed as she woke up. Understandably, Zeva was startled. Opening her eyes and finding Sky's face so close to hers was unexpected. Sky was also taken aback by Zeva's sudden scream. He had thought of waking her up, but he didn't expect her to react so strongly. Zeva thought that someone touching her face was just a dream. In her dream, it was not Sky who touched her face, but Zero. That's why Zeva smiled before she woke up. "What are you doing here?" Zeva asked, now in a sitting position. "I wanted to wake you up. Why did you have to scream like that? Am I some kind of thief?" Sky replied sarcastically. "How could I not scream? You just barged into my room," Zeva said. "I've been knocking on the door and calling you from outside seve

"What's the point of bringing me here?" asked Zeva as she arrived at one of the cafes."Just take a seat first, Zev. You look out of breath," commented Sky, observing Zeva's exhausted state, but she still found the energy to grumble at him."Well, it's because you rushed me here," Zeva complained as she took a seat facing Sky."Hehe, sorry about that," Sky grinned."Alright, so why did you ask me to come here?" Zeva repeated her question."Let's order some food first. You must be hungry, right?" Sky suggested.Zeva pondered to herself, "Why is Sky acting like a fortune teller? And he's right, I haven't eaten yet.""Come on, spill the beans. Tell me why you asked me to come here. If not, I'll leave right away," Zeva impatiently prodded Sky for an answer.Seeing Zeva preparing to get up from her seat, Sky quickly intercepted her wrist and said, "Hey, don't leave just yet."Sky's action successfully made Zeva freeze, staring at the hands that were being held together by Sky."Alright, I'
One Minus One 22 - Love-Hate Relationship
"Ron, let me introduce you to Zeva. Zev, this is Aron." If earlier Sky indirectly instructed Aron and Zeva to get acquainted over the phone, now it's Sky's turn to introduce them in person.After all, Sky is the one who knows both of them. So, it's only natural that Sky takes on the task of introducing them. Although Aron and Zeva had already exchanged introductions on the phone, they haven't met each other face-to-face yet."Hmm... it seems he still remembers how to properly introduce people. Well, it's not really perfect, but at least he's trying," Zeva commented to herself.In truth, Zeva was still a bit annoyed by how Sky casually had her and Aron start talking without introducing them properly beforehand."Hi, Zeva. I'm Aron. Finally, we meet in person," Aron said, extending his hand towards Zeva, accompanied by a friendly smile.Zeva returned the smile and reached out to shake Aron's hand, but suddenly, Sky hugged Aron and said, "No need to shake hands. It's the season of viruse
One Minus One 23 - The Pose Disturbing Eyes and Heart
"Zev, can you please take a picture of us?" Sky asked Zeva."Huh? Another photo? How many pictures of the two of them have I taken already? My camera's memory is filled with their faces only. I'm starting to get suspicious, maybe they have a special relationship," Zeva thought."What kind of pose do you want now? Every time it's the same when you two are posing. Plus, you're doing those typical 'dad poses' with thumbs up," Zeva said. Even though Zeva found it slightly offensive to compare them to dads, Sky took it in stride.Despite feeling a bit offended, Sky kept his cool, "Well, the background view is different, Zev. Who knows, maybe the view here will turn out better.""So, every second the ship moves, you want me to take a picture just because the background view changes? If that's the case, I'll step down as your photographer. Exhausting," Zeva complained, giving in to Sky's request."I'm not even getting paid for this anyway. It's like I'm doing community service here. And the
One Minus One 24 - About Love and Care
"Ah, no way. Why bother exhausting ourselves with cooking? I'll just buy ready-made food, one portion, and it's done. Guaranteed tasty, stomach full, and then I can rest," Zeva refused Sky's idea."Come on, Zev. Why buy outside food when we can cook ourselves? It's easier to adjust to our taste," Sky continued trying to persuade Zeva."Still a no. I'm not fussy about food, unlike you who insists on home-cooked meals," Zeva replied, sticking to her stance.So, the story goes, they had just finished a tour of trying out Aron's boat, and of course, they didn't miss the main activity - fishing. As Aron promised at the beginning, the catch from their fishing was quite large and, of course, fresh.Even though they didn't catch a lot since their fishing time was short, Zeva didn't want to stay out too late. Moreover, she was afraid of missing the subway train. Currently, they were at the station waiting for the train.Aron had actually offered to drive Zeva and Sky home in his private vehicl
One Minus One 25 - Whispers of Apologies
Sky fell silent. His heart was pricked upon hearing Zeva directly say that her feelings of love for Sky had completely disappeared. Could that really be true?Sky found it hard to accept this reality. How could Zeva's love for him, which she had kept hidden for years, vanish so suddenly in just a year?"Is the man who managed to steal your heart Zero?" Sky asked.Zeva no longer needed to be surprised at how Sky could guess that the man she was referring to was Zero. Indeed, Zero and Sky were friends. Furthermore, it happened that Sky was engaged to Liora, who was Zero's sister. Moreover, the beginning of Zero's interest in Zeva was also based on Sky's stories.However, Zeva didn't know from whom Sky had learned about her relationship with Zero. Did he hear it directly from Zero or from Liora? Zeva truly had no clue to confirm it.This was because, from Zero's perspective, he had recently been getting angry without clear reasons whenever he found out Zeva was interacting with Sky again
One Minus One 26 - Mesmerized Daze
Upon arriving home, Zeva intended to head straight to her room, leaving Sky outside alone. Zeva didn't care if Sky wanted to mess around in her house. What she needed right now was to refresh herself by showering her entire body with water. In fact, she was even thinking of taking a bath.Besides, even if Sky really messed up her house, Zeva was sure that Sky would be the one cleaning it up afterward. Because Zeva was certain that Sky wouldn't want to face her wrath the next day.Just as Zeva was about to take a step into her room, Sky suddenly spoke up, "Don't take too long in the shower, Zev. Don't pretend you're going to take a leisurely bath either. Remember, it's already late. You might catch a cold and get the flu and fever."Hearing Sky's warnings, Zeva immediately thought to herself, "Oh come on, he already guessed my plans that are still in my mind.""Besides, why is he trying to tell me not to take a bath? It's my choice. I'll bathe in my own bathroom, I'm the one paying for
One Minus One 27 - Dare Challenge
"Is it tasty, Zev?" Sky asked with a mix of hope and anxiety, awaiting Zeva's feedback on his cooking. "Just average," Zeva replied in a flat and succinct tone. "Zev, a short answer like that isn't wrong, it's even often needed. But... don't make it too brief, it should be concise and clear," Sky commented on Zeva's response. "Don't you see the situation here? Is it good manners to talk while eating?" Zeva retorted. "Okay, okay, sorry. Eat more, then." Sky decided to end the conversation since there was a clear signal that Zeva wasn't in the mood for a lengthy chat. Ignoring Sky, Zeva immediately refocused on enjoying her meal. Sky also began to dig into his food. "How's your relationship with Zero?" Sky suddenly asked as he rinsed the dishes. Initially, Zeva was about to do the dishes, but Sky beat her to it, taking the plate from her hands. Yes, indirectly, Sky was ensuring that he would be the one doing the washing. Zeva was tempted to protest, but considering how tired she
