Chapter 501 - Did the two of them fight again?

It was late at night. Ryn sat on the balcony staring at the sky wordlessly. Her long arms hugged her knees tightly as she spent outside the cold open air for more than two hours.

Although she was hungry before the unexpected argument with him actually killed her appetite. She did not have any mood to eat anything. Two hours after he left, she pulled herself to her feet and walked to the balcony, bringing along her hurting heart and sat there.

It was a quiet night. Compared to her previous apartment, in here, it was more peaceful and serene.

But it could not ease the pain in her heart.

The clock just hit a minute after midnight. She finally rubbed her face in frustration. She looked around and let out a sigh. Her hands unconsciously rubbed her arms to warm up her body… and her heart.

The sliding door glided smoothly as she closed it tightly. It was getting late and she should sleep now. Tomorrow she still has a lot of things to do.

Maybe a short bath could make her feel better?

She took off her clothes as she walked to the bathroom. As she was living alone, she did not mind being n_a_k_e_d in the house.

She paused at the drawer in front of the bathroom. She pulled the top part and stared at the colourful bath bombs. It was a housewarming gift by Mika. She gave it last time but Ryn did not have the chance to use it even once. She chose one with the lavender and walked into the bathroom with one hand rolling the round ball on the other palm.

She put the ball on the counter and looked around the bathroom. For this room, she actually waited for several more months for the constructor to finish renovating the house. She sighed. She liked this house so much, even though it did feel like she was spending the time in the house having an argument with Jeremy.

She placed her hands on the counter and closed her eyes as she took a deep breath to calm down.

This was her heaven and nothing could make her feel nervous nor stressed in here. And regardless of what happened between Jeremy and her, she would not move again. Not anymore.

She snapped from her thought when she noticed the water level in the bathtub has reached where she wanted. She quickly unwrapped the bath bomb and put it into the tub. She leaned down and stared as the bath bomb revealed its magic.

She dipped herself into the water once the salt ball dissolved and let out a sigh. She adjusted her position and laid her arms on the edge of the tub. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Calm down. Just calm down.

Nothing went wrong today. It was all just a dream. Just a bad dream.

The next day…

Jeremy sat up with a groan. He rubbed his eyes as his mind remembered back what happened yesterday.

Yesterday was a disaster.

He g_r_o_a_n_e_d again.

Was he too much yesterday? He finally noticed she looked so puzzled when he accused her. But he was too angry at that time to notice anything. He was so angry for being locked out again and again until he did not take a step back to look at her reaction and the situation.

He rubbed his face in frustration.

What had he done? Had he ruined everything?

As he was fretting over it, his phone rang. Without thinking, he quickly reached for the black gadget and looked at the screen eagerly. Maybe it was Ryn who was calling to tell him it was alright and their relationship was still good.

But to his disappointment, it was his little sister's fiancé, Jason.

"Hello."

"Hello, have you awakened?" Jason asked hurriedly.

"Yeah. Why?"

"How's the surprise preparation?" Jason asked.

Jeremy pinched the skin between his brows. The surprise? It was actually the songs he asked Ryn to sing. But now…

Has his anger and jealousy issue actually ruined the surprise as well?

"Uh oh… did something happen?" Jason asked slowly when he noticed something was wrong on Jeremy's side. Did the two of them fight again?

Again?

Somehow he felt like these two people were no longer the same people he knew in school. Jeremy has changed. Ryn as well. He could not blame it to maturity because he found Jeremy turned into someone so… angry… and different. The Jeremy he knew before although was m_a_t_u_r_ed than his real age but he was much more patience toward his loved ones. Of course, Jason noticed that when the two of them joined the entertainment industry, their personalities changed a little bit. Jeremy seemed to let the popularity filled his mind but once he broke up with Ryn, he has snapped out of it and turned into the Jeremy he once knew. Jeremy did not let popularity overwhelm him again.

Jeremy sighed heavily.

The sound gave a clear answer to Jason and he sighed too. What now? What did Jeremy do this time to make her angry? Was he being jealous without reason again?

"What now? What did you do?"

"She locked me out so I lost… control…" Jeremy confessed.

It was Jason's turn to pinch the skin between his brows.

This couple has given a huge headache to him. He knew if he did not help them, it could affect his own happiness with his lovely Mika.

*~*~*~*

Ryn turned around, mumbling something under her breath when the alarm kept ringing non-stop on the nightstand. She even pulled the pillow from beneath her head to cover her face in order to lessen the sound.

The alarm stopped.

Five minutes later, the phone made the same noise again.

With a loud groan, Ryn finally wormed herself out of the pillow and thick comforter. She could no longer ignore the sound.

It was time for her to wake up and face the world.

Her feet were buried in the thick carpet as she sat at the edge of the bed and rubbed her sleepy eyes. She reached for her phone and pressed the button to put the alarm off until tomorrow. She put the phone beside her and let out a heavy sigh. Her shoulders dropped unenergetically.

She still was not ready to face the day. She wanted to bury herself in the dreamland and hide there… forever.

She sat like that for several more minutes before she finally pulled herself and walked to the bathroom.

Today would be another long day that she would want to miss.

Instead of going to the kitchen to have her breakfast after she was done freshened up, Ryn walked to the living room and sat on the couch. She looked around. Nothing changes in here. She reached for the throw pillow and hugged it tightly. Mika actually bought them for her, to brighten up the place she said when she unwrapped the pillows gleefully. In fact, although Ryn said she would decorate the place, Mika actually contributed a lot to spice up the place. Mika even bought a massage chair and for her feet because she said as a model Ryn is always in high heels. Ryn needed massages to ease all the stress in her body. But so far she did not have the opportunity to use any of them yet.

Even in the gym she worked hard to 'design'… she only managed to switch on the television but still has no time to use any of the machines.

The time went away without her realizing it. She just sat there and stared up until her neck, back and waist ached. Then, she stood up with a groan of pain and walked back into the bedroom.

She, a foodie, actually skipped her breakfast to go back to sleep because she has no mood to do anything else.
