Chapter 9

Maru's POV 

A large deep amount of sigh came out from my system, I'm just walking around the campus with this girl behind me who's holding my sleeve. 

I looked back at her but she's still holding it, she's really crying because she's lost. I don't know why I agree to help her find someone she's looking for even though I don't know her. 

What a thoughtful guy Maru, I compliment myself. 

"What's your name?" I ask her to break the silence between us. I'm helping her but I don't know her name. What an Idiot of mine. 

"D-deene," She muttered that I almost couldn't hear but good thing I heard it loud enough. 

"Deene?" I repeat and she just nods at me, "So Deene, where is the last exact place you saw the guy you're looking?" I asked. 

She stops walking as I also stopped because she's holding my sleeve. She dresses normally but I can't really understand how a girl her age is crying because she just lost in our school?

"C-circle." She shuttered, I already know what she's talking about so we decided to go to our school circle to find the guy. 

I was just looking around analyzing the people around us. Maybe I can tell based on their facial expressions that they're looking for someone. 

"D-do you like butterflies?" She asked me to look in her direction, my brows raised as well as my confused look. 

Why the heck she's asking about butterflies? 

"W-what?" I asked her back, her eyes look so innocent. 

She's so familiar for some reason, did I meet her before? 

"I-I'm curious if everybody likes butterflies or n-no." She shuttered for me to know that she ain't shuttering because she's shy or what but because that is how she normally speaks. 

Everything was clear for me, the way she walked, talked, and even her expression was different from others. As a psychology student, I can tell that she was born that way but I'm kinda shocked by how she dresses, or maybe she was dressed by someone. 

"Y-your in pain." She said while smiling at me, my brows are completely furrowed by this moment. "What?" I ask in confusion. 

I saw her glancing at my whole personality before staring right into my eyes. This is the moment I realized that she has grey eyes, her nose bridge is high with an elegant lip of rosy pink and chubby cheeks she has. She's beautiful- WHAT THE FCK?! 

Maru! What the fck are you thinking?! Obviously, she is a girl with special needs, and the heck are you thinking?! 

Is this unstable mind of mine a symptom of my cancer? Cause if it is, I'm thankful- WHAT FCK IS WRONG WITH YOU MARU?! 

"Y-you're weird." She commented, she's now sitting on a bench near me. "Y-you're talking to yourself." She added, I took a deep sigh before completely facing her. 

"I'm not talking to myself, okay?" I said as I glared at her. I don't know how she knows that I'm talking to myself or I was just too obvious, damn. 

A chilly cold breeze smeared my skin, I looked up when I saw a bunch of dark clouds everywhere. I assume that it will rain sooner or later. I need to help her to find what she's looking Immediately before the rains start to fall. 

"D-do you think M-maru's loves butterflies?" A sturdy question from her made my whole human system confused. 

Who the hell is she? 

"Maru?" I asked back while looking at her, she was smiling out of nowhere while holding her necklace. 

My eyes were focused on her expression, "M-maru is always wearing white." She added making my whole brows furrowed. 

I don't know what I'm thinking, who is this girl in front of me. Why does she know me? Or I am the Maru she's been talking to?

Hoshi's POV 

"Did you find her?" I asked Deene's butler as long as we meet again after an hour of finding Deene. 

He shook his head as a deep sigh came out from mine. I don't know where she went, I thought she was right behind me. 

Someone called me but I didn't bother to look back and run towards somewhere to continue finding Deene. In this situation, I know that she's scared right now. 

This is my fault!!! If I didn't respond to someone who's greeting me I won't lose sight of Deene! Damn you Hoshi!

I didn't know what to do, I'm just running around the school complex praying that I could find her as soon as possible.

If something happens on Deene I swear to god, I'll go crazy! She wasn't just a friend or a best friend for me, she was something special that I needed to protect like how she protected me before! 

"Hey!" I shout of respect to someone.

"Hey?" He replied with a smirk on his face, I'm about to turn back when I realized who that was but he had already blocked my way. 

"Hmm? You just approached me first?" He asks in a confused tone, I raise a brow to him to commend what I'm saying. 

I noticed that his outfit change from earlier, he was now wearing a black long sleeve polo that been fold into his elbow partnered with a grey slacks and mens belt in his waist. 

"Do you know where Deene is?" I ask out of nowhere, I don't know what to do by this moment. I don't care about my pride, I just want to find Deene.

"Deene?" He asked back, making him touch his chin and start thinking. "Who's Deene?" He added making my blood boil but good to say I managed to control myself, cause If I'm not this fcking asshole should be on our school floor. 

"Nevermind." I said before walking away from him, "Call me if you see Maru!" He shouted but I didn't bother to look back. 

Why do I need to call him? And why the fck did I ask him in the first place? I know I'm desperate to find Deene but I'm not that- Damn! 

I shook my head and started looking for her again. I checked every corner of our school but I couldn't find her for the fck sake! 

I ran towards the school circle for me to start finding her again in that area for the 3 time. I was exhausted but still doing this thing. 

A call from my phone is the reason for me to stop for a second and saw Deene's butler name on my screen. 

"Our lady is coming." A word from another kine make my whole system goes cold, why?! 

It's our school fair, so why? Fck! Fck! 

"I'm doing everything, so please do your part too." The last words I said before hanging up the call. 

A large amount of breath came out from mine when I felt something uneasy falling from this great sky above me. 

"What great timing Mr. Rain huh?" I muttered and Immediately ran towards some shelter. I saw students are starting to seek a roof too so I think I might start searching again from this crowd.  

"Hey, have you seen Deene?" I ask one of my familiar classmates but she just shook her head, making me feel down. 

I'm about to take a seat for a minute before finding Deene again when I saw a guy and a familiar feature of a girl in the corner of the room. 

My brows raised when I realized who that girl was, my feet started to walk by it's own and I was just like following my footsteps. 

I immediately grab my phone from my pocket to contact Deene's Butler and inform him that I already find her, as I walk towards their direction my brows furrowed when I saw the guy making a move that ain''t really good.

My fist threw a punch to this guy in front of me, I saw the thickness in Deene's eyes as I grabbed her and made her stay behind me. 

"What do you think you're doing?!" I hissed while he was feeling his face that I punched. My blood started to boil when I saw him trying to kiss Deene without her consent!

"What the fck- did you just punch me?" He replied before looking at his thumb with a bit of blood from his lips, I just raised my brow at him. 

"H-hoshi.." Renee mutterd from my back her eyes are starting to tear up and immediately lead the way for us to make a distance to that asshole. 

I can't believe that he was doing that to someone like Deene! What the fck is wrong with me?! I know that Deene was beautiful but- what the fck! 

"Ya!!!" Someone shouts and anger but I choose to ignore that and walk with Deene's while holding her hands. 

"He was M-Maru." Deene muttered and made me look so confused as I saw the tears from her eyes start to fall. 

Maru? From her Dream?!
