48

Kaia was finishing up for the day so after cleaning the kitchen, he went out to take out the trash. Once again he saw the same man who he had found near the garbage bin all those years ago, only this time the man stood tall and clean devoid of any scars or bruises on his face. His long lashes flutter as he widens his eyes when he saw Kaia.

Deja Vu? Kaia thought. The man looked at him with longing, wanting to say something but not even moving an inch. For a while the two locked eyes and the man's gaze soften as he finally saw Kaia's face again. A feeling of relief and familiarise rushed through the man's body as he saw that Kaia was unharmed.

It was Kaia who broke contact, as if he hadn't seen anything he quickly threw the garbage into the bin and turned to go inside.

The man behind him opened his mouth desperately as if he wanted to stop him but in the end he was too late. Kaia had already went inside.

Kaia stayed inside the shop for a few more hours and it was already getting late so he went outside again locking up the shop, however that same man appeared again. And it was obvious to see that Kaia wasn't amused. He gritted his teeth.

K - Unless I call the police i suggest you leave.

"Am I really that hateful?" The other replied.

K - *sigh what do you want Julian? It's already late i wanna go home.

Julian felt a throbbing pain in his heart when he heard what Kaia just said. The place that Kaia now called home..... He wasn't in it. And so he decided to stay stubborn.

J - Yes you should return home with me.

Kaia laughed when he heard him. Julian just looked at him without a reaction. Because he knew he had to be shameless to be able to see Kaia.

K - Enough with the joke. Go home.

With that Kaia left behind Julian.

**********
It wasn't just that day that Julian showed up. Everyday for a while now Julian would come in as a customer and bye a lot of food and at night he would wait Kaia again at the exact same place.

Maybe he felt that Kaia would welcome him again if he saw him where they met. It was a selfish wish. One which Kaia had not intention of fulfilling.

It's been five days now and Kaia was becoming suspicious of how Julian showed up here. Didn't he have work to do? Why isn't he going back he thought? And Julian was still wearing the same cloth everyday.

Finally Kaia couldn't take it anymore and so he called Mr Han and told him that his Boss was here and that he should take him back.

Mr Han - Mr Lee, sorry for troubling you but I think my Boss is having some trouble at home so he's been staying at his office for a while now. I'm afraid i can't change his mind. Perhaps you could help him?

K - what kind of trouble?

Mr Han - I'm afraid i don't know the details Sir but lately he hasn't been looking so good so if you could please help him if you can.

Kaia just hmmed and hung up. What kinds of trouble was happening back there? I thought Yui and Julian were happy together he thought.

Kaia looked at the man outside his shop who was standing opposite the street eating what he had just bought one by one as if someone might take it away.

K - you're gonna choke if you eat like that

Julian who was eating desperately looked up to see Kaia handing him a glass of water. He immediately stopped eating and took the water and drank it. All these times he thought water was just water but today this water was particularly tasty.

With that Kaia snatched the glass away and went back into the store.

Julian had a faint smile as if his faith had been restored.

The day was coming to an end and once again Kaia came out with trash and Julian stood by the trash bin as if he had been waiting. It became normal now Kaia just ignored him while Julian waited patiently for Kaia to see him.

Just like usual Kaia was supposed to be going home ignoring the man stalking him but as his luck was always shitty the rain began to pour down.

You gotta be kidding me Kaia thought. There's a man soaking in rain outside his shop now. As much as he would enjoy making that man suffer his parents taught him to be kind and good.

K - Stupid parents of mine

He mumbled and went out the backdoor with an umbrella and a towel.
