In the locker room, where Aaron just finished his bath on the bathroom, Aaron stopped as he noticed the gaze from other raiders. Their faces seems neutral, and it makes Aaron felt uncomfortable. So, he quickly goes to his locker to dress up for the night. "Hey.", Aaron hearing this then looks at the guy who calls him, "I don't know what you did, but you kinda badass back there.", Aaron is surprised & confused of his sudden praise, "And what is it exactly?", Aaron asked the guy as he is genuinely confused, "Well, you did saved us back then from the bandits,no? And even when you talk with the Minister like it's nothing. Oh, and, I'll tell you that all the raiders are grateful for you. Thanks.", as the guy leaves Aaron alone and the whole raiders then glance at Aaron & nodded at him for thanking him, while Aaron is genuinely surprised by their unexpected welcoming. "(That was.... unexpected.)", as Aaron turns to his locker, paused for a moment & shook his head by shrugges it off, took his clothes to dress up. In his room, he put himself on the bed, sighed out of tiredness. Just as he paused & gaze at the ceiling, he then raise his hand & stare at his hand. "(That feelings....what was that?)", as he had a deep thought of his newfound bloodlust, he rolls his eyes & stood up to get a water from outside.
Just as he opens up the door, Aaron's eyes widened, jumped a little & almost had a heart attack when he saw a silhouette of Mina. "Oh shit!", as he steps back from the door, placing his hand on his chest from stop him the fast beating from his heart. "M-Mina? Oh god, don't scare me like that.", as he closed his eyes & sighed out of relief that at least it isn't a ghost. "Aaron....?", Mina speaks Aaron's name with her shaky tone. Aaron, notice her voice, "What is it?", as he composed himself & ask about Mina's state. Out of nowhere, she then hugs him tightly. "W-wow....what...what are you...?", just about he's talking something, there's a sound of crying from Mina, who place her face on Aaron's chest. "Mina?", Aaron gets concerned of Mina's sudden sob, "I... I don't know...if I can do this....", as she looks up & gaze Aaron eyes, "I...I thought that I can do this but now....I just couldn't anymore...", while hugging Aaron out of fear, sorrow & disappointment. Aaron, without saying anything then touch Mina's face with his right hand, Mina felt the soft of his touch, "It's ok... I'm here.", they gaze their eyes each other for a while, finally looked at their lips, breathing nervously, went for a kiss, almost reaching the inch of the lips...well, I said almost. If it weren't for Li Yuen's sudden entrance, "Wow~.", as Aaron & Mina's eyes widened, release each other from the hug & awkwardly starting to act like there's nothing. "Heh~, I never knew you two had this kind of intimacy ~.", as she teasing both of them, for the near-touched lips. "I-im... I'm going for the bath!", as Mina runs to the bathroom quickly like a running cheetah. Aaron sighed of frustration, narrowed glance at Li Yuen, "Great. You had to ruin the moment.", Li Yuen place her hand on her lips, to contain her barely laugh.
Next morning, as Mina woken up from the bed, stretching her upper body & walks out of her room, Mina freezed, eyes widened & gasp as she & Aaron stumble with each other. "Oh...hey.", Aaron greets her. "AH...AH..AH", Mina couldn't speak anything to Aaron as he raise his eyebrow, "You okay? Sorry if I make you uncomfortable yesterday", as he worries about the misunderstanding between them. Mina's face started to get red brighter than a tomato, until she shook her head & compose herself. "Ah...N-no,I... I'm the one who should apologize...", as she wiggles herself by putting her arms from behind. "Well, I...I actually....felt disappointed.", she admitted her feelings. Aaron tilted his head out of curiosity, "Dissappointed for what?", Aaron ask her about her disappointed line. "W-well, that kiss....", as she place her finger on her lip, "I wish we're kiss yesterday....", as she finally confessed that she genuinely wanted to kiss Aaron but gets nervous. Aaron, realizing of her confession then smile, as place his two hands on Mina's shoulders. "You wanna do it?", then Mina is surprised but nodded in agreement, as they narrows their eyes, focus on their lips with breathing with each other, as their lips finally touched, lingering their sweetness of their lips & hugs each other. After a while, they then release their lips from each other, let out of breathe to relive themselves from the kiss. "So...I guess we're dating?", Aaron chuckles, "Yeah.", as he kiss Mina's forehead to show his love for Mina, while placing both of their forehead & their noses glued each other, gazing their narrowed eyes as they hug each other for a while. "Holy shit....", Aaron & Mina jumped a bit, then saw the whole raiders, Li Yuen & Li Xian, who just watching the show just now. "You guys did the thing!? Bro! You literally skipped the whole filler of romance!*, as the guy literally dissappointed of their rushed romance. "Well~, so this is what you meant, Li Yuen?", the female raider was amused & even ask Li Yuen to joke about them. The duo then glance to Li Yuen, "LI YUEN!",as the couple raise their tone out of embarrassment, like it's doing something, while Li Yuen barely contain her laugh, just started to laugh like a maniac. Meanwhile, Li Xian, just witness the duo's sealed kiss, being silent for a while then leaves, as she looks down at the floor out of disappointment.
