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
One Minus One 28 - Unexpected Reunion
"Do you think I can easily believe your boast? How can there be a guy in this day and age, who is already a quarter of a century old and has never been kissed? Especially, you live abroad where people casually kiss in public," Zeva retorted, finding what Sky said to be completely implausible."Don't generalize all guys, Zev. I am not boasting about it at all. Trust me, my lips are guaranteed not to have the imprints of any other girl, let alone a guy," Sky replied, persistently trying to convince Zeva.Zeva had been clenching her fists all this while. She was restraining herself from slapping or punching Sky. However, now it seemed that Zeva couldn't hold back any longer. Moreover, Sky spoke so casually, as if discussing an exciting game.Zeva was about to take a step to slap Sky, but suddenly, they heard a doorbell. As a result, Zeva abandoned her intention to slap Sky and chose to rush to the door instead.Before Zeva could calm down her emotions toward Sky, she was once again surpr
One Minus One 29 - The Demon in a Relationship
Sky's mouth hung open in disbelief that Zeva chose to kick him out instead of letting Zero leave. "Wait, why should I be the one leaving? No way. I'm not going home. I was here first," Sky protested. "It's not about who was here first or not. What's clear is that I'm asking you to leave now," Zeva stated firmly. "Leave? Why should I leave when I'm already at home? Didn't you tell me to treat this place like my own home?" Sky retorted, still showing his resistance. "Is your self-esteem truly shattered? You're so confident manipulating the meaning of others' words. Your speech sounds so ancient," Zeva responded, growing frustrated with Sky's self-assuredness. She couldn't believe how easily Sky assumed her home was his. "Just a while ago, you said that, and now you consider it ancient history. Are you trying to classify yourself as a prehistoric human?" Sky retorted casually, as if not taking to heart Zeva's comment about his shattered ego. Meanwhile, Zero merely acted as a specta
One Minus One 30 - Girls Principle vs Guys Guidelines
It's been around 40 minutes of silence between Zeva and Zero. More accurately, it was Zero who was completely ignoring Zeva. "Zero." Zeva tried her luck again, hoping that Zero might respond this time. "Zer…" Zeva repeated while Zero remained unmoved. "You come all the way here just to play on your phone? Is that phone of yours more important than me?" Zeva, unable to bear it any longer, finally protested. Without saying a word, Zero suddenly laid his head on Zeva's lap. With his phone resting on his chest, Zero closed his eyes as if signaling that he wanted to sleep. Meanwhile, Zeva could only gape, her heart racing as if competing with the speed of motorcycles on a race track. Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of a phone ringing. Zero remained in his position, not moving at all since the ringtone wasn't coming from his own phone. "Zero… Zero… wake up, quickly!" Zeva pleaded with a panicked tone while lightly tapping Zero's arm. Receiving such treatment and hearin
One Minus One 31 - Talking about Chemistry
"Hey, you're just taking it as you please. I cooked this special for Zeva, not for you.""Well, whatever. Let Zero eat. You’re so unselfish. You don't want to share with anyone. You’re too choosy," Zeva defended Zero."Oh yeah, consider it charity for blessings on our joint fishing catch," replied Sky."Why did you stop chewing? Does it taste bad? Seriously, you don't appreciate our joint effort. We struggled all the way into the night to catch these fish. And pulling them in was no joke. Even with four hands, those fish were heavy.""Look, look, check out these photos as proof that it's the fruit of our successful chemistry," Sky showed his phone screen with photos of him and Zeva fishing last night."What's wrong with you, Sky? Talking about chemistry. There's no chemistry at all. I'm not into chemistry, either," protested Zeva."Here we go with your lame jokes. I know you're not that smart. You were a lazy student, never liked studying," retorted Sky."Ugh... why are you calling me
One Minus One 32 - Tornado
"Are you canceling your flight?" "Hm," Zero mumbled while nodding briefly in response. "Why?" Zeva asked again. "Because you haven't answered 'yes'," Zero replied casually. Meanwhile, Zeva unconsciously reacted with her mouth half open. Clearly, she immediately knew the 'yes' answer to the question that Zero was referring to. However, the fact that this was the reason for Zero canceling his flight to Indonesia was beyond Zeva's intuition. "Zer, be serious and answer," Zeva said. "Which part do you think I'm joking about? I've always been serious about us, Zeva," Zero replied, this time speaking while maintaining direct eye contact with her. "I understand and realize that you've doubted my seriousness because you feel our relationship's status isn't clear yet. For that... it's not that I don't want to provide clarity, but I feel our relationship is clear, without needing further clarification with a status." "However... it seems like this only applies to me as a guy. I forgot t
