It probably looked like a scene where a crime might just happen. Actually Mason thought himself that he hit Noah too hard because Noah’s
cheeks were swollen and his clothes were all messy. Mason too has swollen
cheeks and ripped lips, but that didn’t give that much an impact as clearly marked
hand print on Noah’s flawless skin.
Assaulting and attempting to harass Raynoah? Mason
thought his life opened up a hell gate worse than life as Mason, but that didn’t
happen. Noah who was smiling suspiciously like he’s going to blame me for
assault and attempt to harass didn’t say anything. He held Phil’s hand and stood
up and smiled like a gentleman.
“Thanks to this person I was able to wake up.”
Of course it hurt a little. He said it jokingly and Mason
pretended like he was sorry and said, “I was in panic…. I think I put too much force into it.” Noah smiled, and Mason shrugged his shoulders.
Phil and Floke had suspicious faces, but since Noah
himself had a normal face, they just glared at Mason didn’t do anything more.
“……..”
Mason stroked his pretty soared neck and stood up
carrying his bag. It was a trip tougher than he thought when he just came to
New York with lighthearted to rob a safe that lost its owner and come back relaxed.
Of course compare to endless missions he’d been through this was like a kid’s
playing, but probably because of Haley’s health, he was especially tired.
Mason glimpsed at Noah who is the start of his tiredness.
Noah was organizing this hair and clothes with a much better face. Mason stared
at him for a while and carried the bag and turned around. I don’t have to say
bye to them. We are not even in a good term. He thought about it like that and when
he walked few steps, he heard a voice from behind.
“Mr. Lusk.”
He turned around and Noah who was standing in front of
the elevator walked to him. He stopped right in front of him and question with
his relaxed voice.
“What you just told me…. It’s not a lie, right?”
Is he talking about, ‘So if it’s Mason, I think he’s
alive’?
“Well, it’s not a lie…..”
Mason looked at him slowly. I think it was my
mistake to think that tear was because of me. Why would he crying for a person who he just met for a month of his life 10 years ago. I’m just
guessing it’s probably because of Zii or weaponry merchant Alta.
“I don’t know in detail.”
Noah smiled at Mason’s reply. He smirked at Mason’s
awkward reaction and glimpsed at this bag and murmured, “Okay. Good enough.”
He slowly stared at Mason’s cheeks and swollen neck and
gave him his hand.
“….What is this?”
Mason looked at his hand and asked sourly. Noah smiled
like an art.
“I’m thankful for multiple things that happened today.
You aren’t…. that much of a trash than I thought.”
I thought you were hopeless. Noah said he thought
him as a trash right front of his face and asked for a hand shake. Mason stared
at Noah’s white and pretty hand and face back and forth, so he held his
hand little bit late.
“You ask for a hand shake in a weird way.”
“Not as your proposal.”
Noah brought out Haley’s confession when he said, “I’m
really good at that,” and he smiled. Well, while Mason was reading the article
about ‘Haley’s analects,’ he himself thought it was a propose that cools down
even a thousand year love.
He lightly shook the hand and turned around. He felt Noah
was turning around too.
“…….”
Mason stop for a second and took a glimpse of Noah.
Well, he will probably live well. I’ll quit being actor
soon and next time we see each other can be another 10 years later. –Because it seems
like the time period meeting that man is every 10 years.
“Well, of course this can be the last….”
A coincidence won’t go on forever, so this is most likely will be the last time, but if I ever meet him again someday. –I hope he is
strong enough so that he doesn’t need anyone to save him anymore or has someone else who
can save him.
Mason stared at the back of the grown man that somehow looked pitiful for a short
time. He turned around and started to walk again.
“……”
Noah felt the stare on his back gone and slowly turned
around and stared at Haley’s back. He was walking lightheartedly and took out a
cap and wore it. Underneath the baseball cap, his pale neck had some hand mark.
“Hm.”
Noah coldly smiled.
“Are you really okay? Your cheeks…”
Phil looked at Noah’s injured cheek and asked. Phil knew
Noah is not the type who would quiet get beat up but in a dark enclosed place
is exceptional. Haley hit Noah in a place where it makes him into a seven year
old child, and he was even sitting on top of him when the door opened. If he
thinks about Haley’s well known character, there is nothing wrong with him thinking
Haley was about rape Noah.
“Ah…. I hit him first.”
Noah chuckled. Phil still thought Haley probably caused
it, but Noah shook his hands.
“Don’t worry about it. If I didn’t get hit, I could’ve
died.”
“…Pardon?”
Phil asked again like he didn’t understand, but instead
of Noah replying him, he stared at Haley who was already far away.
In the dark and enclosed elevator was like that small
traveling luggage that he was trapped in when he was seven years old. He didn’t
have time to think the space and the situation was totally different. He just
felt he was choking and felt like he going to die. The fact that Mason who was
his only savior died was like a death sentence to him, and Noah was so much in
fear that he was about go crazy. I’m gonna die. As soon as he thought like
this, a small breeze came in. A pair of eyes was right in front of his face.
Noah’s conscious already came back even before he got
slapped by Haley.
“Mr. Raycarlton?”
Phil called Noah who was looking at where Haley
disappeared with a strange face. Instead of looking at Phil, Noah said it.
“Mason seems to be alive. I’m not sure it’s true or not….
But for now contact Zii.”
“Mason?”
Phil looked much better and replied, “I see. Okay.” Noah
continued on.
“Make Zii stop interfering with Mason and hire other
place to find him, so he doesn’t feel threatened. If they find him, except for
reporting to me tell them don’t do anything to him just secure his safety.”
“Yes.”
Phil thought about several other organization that can
move more secretly than Zii and nodded. If needed he can move government power.
The name Raycarlton is enough to do that.
Noah who was just staring at the direction where Haley
disappeared and turned around and said, “And…” and looked at Phil.
“Investigate Haley Lusk.”
What happened few years ago to very minimal things. –Phil
had questioning face but soon nodded his head.
Noah looked at the direction where Haley left once again.
How does that man know Mason, why did he come here, why did a person just change
like a different person –and what is this familiarity. I will find out soon.
Noah frowned because somehow he felt little bothered but
soon came back to his original face.
The sun was setting.
