CHAPTER TWO

"Why are you late?" Sara acts like a mother, completely and fakely stern. "I've encountered a little accident. Nothing much." Shio shrugs as Sara dramatically gasps. "What?! Are you okay?!" Sara looks for any wounds on Shio's skin. "Okay, you're okay." Sara sighs in relief.

"Of course I'm okay. It's just a mini accident. Nothing big." Shio begins to organize the groceries either in the kitchen or somewhere in the apartment. "I'll be cooking the lunch today. Go get some rest." Sara sighs again. "Okay." Shio nods as he continues to organize the groceries.

"I heard Shina called yesterday." Sara said as she eats while watching the TV as Shio was resting beside Sara. "Yes, she called me. I think she's calling me because she wanted to tell me that she passed." Shio chuckles as Sara rolls her eyes.

"Tch. She's always like that." Sara rolls her eyes as Shio smirks teasingly. "But you love her, right~?" Sara suddenly blushes as she glares at Shio. "Shut up! Just watch the TV!" Shio laughs loudly and looks back at the TV.

But Sara was smiling slightly. It's true. She really loves her sister but she doesn't want to show it.

Giving everything that Shina wants is Sara's love language towards her.

"Hey."

"Hm?" Sara looks at Shio. "I've encountered this handsome man... he's really handsome... and he's Italian..." Shio blankly said as Sara looks at him, jaw dropped.

"What?! You finally found someone handsome!" Sara squeals happily. "Yes, he's handsome but not my type." Sara deadpans.

She sighs, "you know, Shi, there's nothing wrong with having high standards, but you need to lower them a little. Because, how will you date someone if your standards are that higher?" Sara looks at her friend.

"No, Sara. I don't have a standard for men anymore. I'm tired of loving someone who can't even love me back."

"But, he might love you." Sara shrugs. "He might love me, but I don't think so. People won't love me. I know that." Sara looks at Shio with soften eyes. "Shio, stop being pessimistic." Shio shrugs. "I don't know if I can still do that."

"Shio, you're smart. You know better than to think negative things, you know better than to be a pessimist." Shio bites his lip a little.

Sara puts her hand on Shio's shoulder. "I know it's hard, but nothing is impossible."

"You've got that quote from that anime volleyball you've been watching, yes?" Sara smiles brightly.

"Yes. And it's still not animated. He said that it's just hard, not impossible." Sara smiles. "Inspiring quote huh." Shio nods slowly.
