Chapter 34: Chapter 34
She danced as if she gave her soul to music that echoed. The hope she had lost made her lose her mind at least temporarily. Claire who happened to be drinking at the same club accidentally saw Stella while she was sitting in front of the bartender while enjoying her cider.
"Does she often drink here?" Claire asked the bartender, pointing at Stella
"Lately, she does come often. Usually she sits here and sighs, it seems like this time the problem is bigger. ” Said Dennis
" Yes, of course. Alex is married and on a honeymoon. " Said Claire
Claire continued to watch Stella from a distance. Even in Claire's eyes Stella's sadness was very clear. 2 men began to approach Stella who was dancing alone. Like predators who find their prey aggressively approaching Stella. Someone who is broken heart is always the target of masher man looking for prey at nightclubs.
They approached Stella slowly while pretending to dance. Stella, who is absorbed in dancing to forget her heartache, did not realize that two men had danced beside her to wait for an opportunity.
Claire who watched Stella saw the two men give each other signals. Slowly but surely they approach Stella who is crazy dancing. Claire then took a sip of her last cup of cider and then walked over to Stella. She passed the two men then pulled Stella's hand so that she and Stella became very close.
Then Claire kissed Stella's lips in front of the two men until they left Stella. Stella, who was very surprised, widened her eyes, and then pushed Claire hard. She also rubbed her lips with her hands alternately as if the kiss was very disgusting and she did not like it.
"Why did you kiss me ?!" Stella shouted as she continued to rub her lips
"Don't overdo it like that. You should know that I saved you today. Let's get out of here. " Said Claire
Claire holds Stella's hand and pulls her out of the club. Although Stella refused and rebelled a little but Claire held her hand tightly and dragged her outside.
Stella sat in front of the mini market and Claire approached her and gave a medicinal drink but Stella did not want to take it. Claire then unscrewed the bottle of antidote, then gave it to Stella. Stella then took the antidote drink that Claire had opened.
"Why did you go to the club alone? Don't go to the club alone because it's dangerous. Today you are lucky, I am. " Said Claire
"Why do you care so much about me? I don't care if a johns approach me maybe I will forget everything that way. ” Stella said as she bowed her head in a depressed look.
"You really can't be helped anymore." Said Claire, staring at Stella
Stella was so drunk that the soft drink could not make her conscious. Stella who was still drunk began to cry while dancing in the middle of the road. Claire covered her face when someone passed by because she felt so embarrassed.
After the streets were quiet and no one was watching, Claire approached Stella and pulled her to the curb and tried to stop her from being silly. Stella, who was held by Claire, couldn't dance anymore, then she started crying and dropped into Claire's arms. Claire rubbed Stella's back even though it couldn't cheer her up.
"Why does he have to get married this fast ?! I've loved him for years, this is so unfair !! Even though I like it very much, it's not fair! ” Stella said, whining like a child
"Is there anything just in this world? Life is not fair let alone human feelings. " Said Claire
"You idiot, forget your love. Your tears are too precious to fall because people don't consider you. " Said Claire again
"Why don't I fall in love with someone who also likes me?" Stella said in a sad voice while tightening her arms
Claire rubbed Stella's back and after a while Stella fainted because she was very drunk. Claire sighed and with difficulty she brought Stella into her car. Claire drove her car but because she did not know where Stella's house was, Claire finally brought Stella to her house.
She then laid Stella on her bed and took off the high heels that Stella was wearing. Claire also saw Stella's legs swollen from wearing high heels for too long. Feeling sorry for Claire then wash Stella's feet with cold water and massage her feet gently.
Stella stretched and slightly opened her eyes. Stella also saw Claire who was massaging her feet but Stella chose to pretend to be asleep. Claire looked at Stella's sleeping face. I wonder what she was thinking Claire gently stroked Stella's face.
"Too bad, a girl as cute as you has to fall in love with Alex and be heartbroken." Claire said, staring into Stella's face with a deep look
Claire then envelops Stella then she takes a pillow and sleeps on the sofa. In the middle of the night Stella opened her eyes and when she wanted to wake up she saw Claire sleeping on the couch without a blanket. Stella felt very touched because Claire let Stella sleep on her bed and gave her a warm blanket. Though it must have been uncomfortable but Claire allowed herself to sleep on the sofa just so Stella could sleep well.
Stella also took the blanket that covered her and gave it to Claire who was sleeping. Stella looked at Claire's sleeping face and smiled when she saw Claire's innocent and different face from her annoying face when she woke up.
"Turns out you're cute and not too annoying ..." Stella said, smiling at Claire's sleeping face
