《LOVENEMIES [END]》73 - Hadiah
Advertisement
Bae Sooji ingin mengabaikan Kim Myungsoo tetapi dia tidak bisa menjauhi pria itu. Myungsoo mengikuti di sisinya dengan langkah-langkah lambat dan santai. Meskipun pria itu tidak mengatakan sepatah kata pun, kehadirannya yang mendominasi tidak mungkin diabaikan.
Saat mereka keluar dari stadion, Sooji menuju ke tempat parkir sepeda. Tertinggal satu langkah di belakangnya, Myungsoo tiba-tiba berbicara,"Klub yang memintanya."
Sooji menghentikan langkahnya, berbalik dan menatapnya. "Apa?"
Myungsoo berkata,"Klub memintaku untuk memberikan tanda tanganku kepada para penggemar."
"Oh." Sooji menolehkan kepalanya kembali ke depan, tidak bergerak saat dia terus berjalan. "Itu bukan urusanku."
Myungsoo tidak mengungkap kepura-puraannya. Bibirnya bergetar saat dia mengikuti Sooji di belakangnya. "Anggap saja aku sedang pamer."
Sooji sangat kesal dengan betapa cerianya pria itu. "Sangat wajar jika seseorang memiliki beberapa penggemar. Untuk apa kau pamer?"
Setelah Sooji menemukan sepedanya, dia memasukkan tasnya ke keranjang dan hendak membuka kuncinya saat Myungsoo tiba-tiba meraih pergelangan tangannya. Saat pria itu melakukannya, Sooji merasa hatinya tiba-tiba bergetar.
Dia mencoba menarik tangannya kembali tapi Myungsoo mengencangkan genggamannya. Dia berkata,"Ikuti aku."
"Kenapa aku harus mengikutimu?"
"Ikutlah."
Sooji ditarik dengan bingung seperti itu. Myungsoo menariknya ke lampu jalan di alun-alun.
Kemudian, dia mengambil sesuatu dari sakunya dan mengulurkannya pada Sooji.
Sooji melihat ke bawah. Benda itu bulat dan dibungkus kertas kado berwarna-warni. Kelebihan kertasnya diikat di bagian atas seperti bagaimana apel Natal dibungkus. Namun, itu lebih kecil dari sebuah apel.
Bingung, dia bertanya,"Apa ini permen?"
"Bukan."
"Cokelat?"
"Bukan."
"Telur abad?"
"Bukan..."
Myungsoo tidak berani membiarkannya terus menebak. Dia menarik tangan Sooji, memasukkan hadiah itu ke dalam tangannya dan menjelaskan,"Aku merapikan barang-barangku beberapa hari yang lalu dan menemukan suvenir sisa dari Polandia yang belum kuberikan."
Bibir Sooji melengkung saat dia mulai membuka kado. Dia berpikir bahwa suvenir itu kemungkinan besar adalah perhiasan seperti lencana atau mainan kecil. Saat dia akhirnya merobek kertas itu dengan penuh semangat, dia terpana.

Itu adalah sepotong batu berwarna kuning, sedikit lebih kecil dari sebutir telur. Sentuhan halus dan jelas, warna kuning bening itu datang dalam bentuk hati yang sedikit cacat.
Saat Sooji melihat benda itu, jantungnya berdetak kencang. Takut membiarkan Myungsoo merasakan bagaimana pengaruh benda itu terhadapnya, dia mencengkeram benda kuning itu di antara ibu jari dan jari telunjuknya dan memeriksanya dengan cermat.
Di dalam batu ambar ada beberapa potongan daun kecil. Sooji mengangkat benda kuning itu ke arah cahaya. Di bawah cahaya, potongan-potongan itu dikelilingi oleh cahaya keemasan pucat. Cahaya keemasan itu bergeser dan berubah saat dia membalikkan damar. Sepertinya ada banyak kelopak emas kecil yang terperangkap di dalamnya, tampak cantik.
"Ini benar-benar cantik..." Sooji tidak bisa menahan napas karena kagum.
Myungsoo tersenyum. "Selama kau menyukainya."
Ia terbatuk.
Itu adalah ungkapan yang umum tapi saat Sooji mendengarnya, dia merasakan gelombang rasa manis. Dia menenangkan dirinya dan berkata,"Ini... pasti cukup mahal."
Myungsoo menggelengkan kepalanya. "Tidak. Kau bisa menemukan ambar dijual dimana-mana di Polandia."
"... Benarkah?" Sooji tidak begitu percaya padanya.
"Hm." Myungsoo mengangguk. "Penduduk setempat mengendarai alat penggali mereka sendiri untuk menambang ambar."
Sooji mengangkat kakinya dan berpura-pura bahwa dia akan menendangnya. "Kim Myungsoo! Apa kau pikir aku bodoh?"
Myungsoo berkelit sambil tertawa. Saat Sooji menurunkan kakinya, Myungsoo menarik kembali ke samping Sooji dan bertanya dengan lembut,"Tidak marah lagi?"
Tidak, tidak, bukan sekedar dia tidak marah lagi, dia bahkan merasa ingin melompat dan memberinya pria itu sebuah ciuman.
"Tidak, tidak, tidak. Aku tidak bisa berkemauan lemah..." Sooji menggelengkan kepalanya dan bergumam pada dirinya sendiri.
Saat Myungsoo kembali ke asramanya di malam hari, dia masuk ke akun Instagram utamanya, membersihkan semua pemberitahuannya dan memasang iklan yang diatur oleh klub. Setelah menyelesaikan semua itu, dia beralih ke akun keduanya.
Untuk akun kedua Instagram-nya, dia memiliki total 21 pengikut. 20 adalah pengikut palsu yang ditugaskan kepadanya oleh sistem dan satu-satunya orang yang mengikutinya adalah Kim Sunggyu. Sunggyu pernah berkata,"Aku satu-satunya orang di dunia yang mengetahui akun kedua Kim Myungsoo. Itu artinya hanya aku yang paling mengenalnya."

Karena dia menjadi 'orang yang paling mengenal' Kim Myungsoo, Sunggyu memandang pria itu sedikit aneh. Di tengah rasa hormat yang dia miliki ada jejak rasa takut dan di tengah rasa takut itu ada sedikit simpati. Di tengah-tengah simpati itu, ada sentuhan keprihatinan.
Itu karena akun sampingan milik Myungsoo sudah sepenuhnya terjebak dalam fase budak cinta. Itu adalah pemandangan yang sulit untuk ditanggung dan hal itu diperburuk oleh seberapa anehnya ID akunnya.
—MyungJi!
Lihat ini, lihat ini, apa itu terdengar seperti sesuatu yang akan digunakan oleh pria?
Meskipun Sunggyu mengejek nama itu, dia tidak berani mengungkapkannya dengan siapa pun.
Hari itu, Myungsoo login ke akun keduanya dan memposting sebuah foto bunga bermekaran untuk mencatat perasaannya.
MyungJi: Kau merasakan asam sementara aku merasakan manis.
Sunggyu melihat status itu dan menggelengkan kepalanya. Meskipun dia tidak menyukai status Myungsoo, dia tidak bisa menahan dirinya untuk tidak memberikan 'suka' dengan cepat.
Pikiranku sudah terpolarisasi, pikirnya.

Luck Lockyer
Luck Lockyer was the type of man to smirk in the dark, the expression not for anyone but himself. One of perpetual amusement. The bright side of things were hard to find in the shade yet his amber eyes were always searching. The smirk was his default, he knew it, his friends knew it, his family knew it. It was his most natural state. But the death of everyone close to you can affect a downwards curve on the mouths of even the most stoic people. Without purpose, without anyone to do the job for, Luck Lockyer found himself inside an empty forgotten church. The perpetual smirk on his face had slipped to a thin line, his scar more noticeable now than ever before. His amber eyes, the windows to his soul, dull and lifeless. To anyone who knew him, it was the clothing that gave away his mental state, denim pants and a plain black t-shirt. If that wasn't enough, the tears running down his face certainly would, the echoing sobs of a broken man rang across the rundown church. It was on a whim, but Luck Lockyer prayed, he prayed for many things, for death, revenge, friends, but the one prayer dominating his thoughts, a second chance for his family. That was all he wanted. Simple. It was then, on the outskirts of a polluted city, in an abondoned lot, in a forgotten church that Luck Lockyer, the Devil of the Cards, the Bloodless Hand, the Amber Demon, the Broken, was answered by a being from another world and one from his. *found the picture online
