Lucas Part 5

Unique, that's the first image that caught my eye when I entered the mansion. The atmosphere inside the mansion is very luxurious. When seen from the outside, this mansion does look big, but as soon as I go inside, I see how vast this mansion is. There is a large staircase directly opposite the main door. The stairs are high with a red carpet. Around the walls are several beautiful paintings, and the items that fill this mansion also look very expensive. There are many doors here, indicating several rooms in this mansion. "Aaaaaaaaa!!" I screamed when suddenly a black cat jumped at me, making me fall to the ground. The cat growled and somehow looked angry at me. The cat even scratched me so that my hand was bleeding. "Leslie, are you all right?" A man's voice sounded frantic, and he approached me. If it were Sean's voice, I would be pleased. Unfortunately, the voice belonged to Carl. He looked at my wound with worry and then helped me up. "Leslie, your hands are bleeding. Leyna is there any medicine in here?" Muggie looked worried about me, too. "Nothing, we just bought this mansion. We haven't had time to buy various household items including medicine. Never mind, it's only a small wound after all." Leyna glared at me and didn't seem to care about my wound. "Even the slightest wound is not to be trifled with. Moreover, cat scratch wounds might later cause infection. I'll buy medicine around here. Muggie, you wash Leslie's wound." "All right, Carl." Carl left soon after. I was so moved to see how much he cared for me. As for Sean, he just stared at me in silence as if he didn't care about me. Muggie took me to the bathroom and helped me clean my wound. The claw wound was deep enough to make me wince in pain when hit by water. "Why is there a black cat in this mansion? Very weird." I didn't answer Muggie's question because I thought the same thing as her. This mansion looked uninhabited, and before we went inside, Leyna opened the main door with the key she brought. But how did the black cat get inside? Besides, why did that cat suddenly attack me? Black Cat remembering it makes me feel scared with the bad feeling I had before entering this mansion. "Hey, why are you daydreaming? You're fine, right?" Muggie asked, which snapped me out of my reverie. "I'm fine." "Come on, I've cleaned your wound." "Thank you Muggie." Muggie nodded with her sweet smile. Then, we returned to the living room to meet Sean and Leyna. Arriving in the living room, I saw Sean and Leyna chatting on the sofa. Our arrival did not even disturb the conversation between the two of them. When I was injured, even though it was only a tiny wound, Sean reacted as if he didn't care. He didn't even come close to me or ask how I was. With this, indeed, he does not love me anymore. "Haah… Haah… sorry it took so long… Haah… Haah." Carl's figure appeared from behind the door with a heavy breath. Could it be that he kept running to buy medicine for me? He approached me and rubbed the treatment he had purchased on my wound. I winced in pain as I felt the pain in my injury. "Hold on a minute, your wound must be treated immediately," said Carl, to which I responded with a nod. Carl slowly applied the drug to my wound. I glanced at Sean briefly. He was staring flatly at me. He didn't look bothered, even though he saw another man approaching his girlfriend. Isn't he angry or jealous? Carl blew on my wound, probably meaning it would dry quickly. After that, he carefully covered my wound with a bandage. "Yup, done," he said after finishing treating my wound. "Thanks, Carl." Carl just responded with a warm smile. "I'm going to my room," Sean said as he stepped away. "You just pick the room you like upstairs, Sean. Just rest, you must be tired." Sean only raised his right hand in response to Leyna's words. I just stared at Sean's back, which was getting farther away until finally, it was no longer visible. Sean was fine even though I was close to Carl. He didn't even care about my condition. Knowing this fact brought tears to my eyes without realizing it. "It's just a wound, you cry. You're such a whiny princess, aren't you." I just kept quiet and didn't respond to Leyna's insinuation. I'm just tired of dealing with it by now. "You better rest, Leslie. You must be tired and shocked, right?" I nodded my head in response to Carl's words. After that, Carl, Muggie, Leyna, and I rested upstairs. Leyna told us to choose a room we liked since this mansion had many spaces. Leyna and Muggie had already chosen their rooms. Leyna chose a room with a door that was bigger than the doors of other rooms. The room that Leyna chose is the main room in this mansion. At the same time, Muggie chose a room that was quite far from Leyna's room. Muggie chose that room because her window faced the swimming pool, which was right behind the mansion. Now it's just me and Carl who still need to choose a room. We walked down a corridor filled with windows along the walls. The white curtains covering the windows fluttered in the wind. I don't know where the wind is coming from because all the windows are tightly closed as far as the eye can see. At that moment, I felt my body goosebumps. "I'll take this room. How about you take the room over there, Leslie." Carl pointed to a room whose door faced directly into the hallway instead of another room whose door faced a window. Only that room is just a short distance from Carl's room. In response, I nodded and walked towards the room that Carl meant earlier. Then I opened the bedroom door without hesitation and went straight inside without looking around the room first. It is a spacious room with beautiful and tasteful decorations: a king-size bed and paintings on the wall. There are several wooden chairs here with elegant carvings. This room has many decorations, such as expensive-looking flower vases and antique jars. My attention was diverted to the white curtains fluttering in the wind. My eyes widen when I know the source of the wind blowing the curtains. The window was open, and someone was seen sitting on the ledge. The room is dark, so I can't see the figure. I turned on the light, and now I can see the figure. He turned out to be Sean, who was staring outside. He sat on the edge of the window, leaning against the window sill. He lifted one leg while the other leg he let hang. He supported his chin with one of his hands, which he bent at his knee. I don't know; seeing him in that position fascinated me. I found him very calm when his long hair that started covering his ears fluttered in the wind. Slowly, he turned and looked at me. Being stared at intensely by his beautiful eyes instantly made me nervous. Since the first look in his eyes and handsome face, he has always made me fall in love with him. It's normal if he has a lot of fans. "What are you doing here?" he asked in his baritone voice, instantly making me gasp. "S-sorry, I didn't know you were already in this room. I-I'll be going soon." I turned around and intended to walk on my feet. I'm very embarrassed now. I hope Sean doesn't misunderstand because I was presumptuous in his room. "Leslie." The call made me stop for a moment. I turned my back to face him. Suddenly, my heart beat when I saw Sean walking towards me. "Do you like Carl?" His question made me freeze right then and there. What kind of question is that? That is a stupid question. He should know that he is the only man I like. I shook my head firmly. "No, I just think of Carl as my friend." Without a doubt, I say this because this is how I feel for Carl. "Carl... looks like he likes you." He casually said that, not sounding bothered at all. "You should know, Sean. Since then, now and until later, you're the only man I like. No, not just like, but I love you very much. You should know that, right, Sean? We've been together for a long time. Is it not enough love and affection that I have been giving you to make you turn away from me?" Silence, no answer from him. "What did I do wrong for you to do this to me? Why do you always ignore me? Why do you always act cold as if you don't care about me? Do you know, I suffer a lot because of you? I can't stand being treated like this by you." Sean was still silent with his gaze that was difficult to decipher. "You're hiding something from me, right? You must have a reason that made you turn out like this to me. Please tell me so I can understand and not be tormented anymore." He was still silent, making me start to feel irritated. But I take advantage of this situation to express everything I feel to him. "If you don't love me anymore and you want to be with Leyna, I will accept it. Even though I love you, I won't force you to stay with me. By seeing you happy even with another woman, I will be happy too. My feelings are sincere for you, Sean. Unlike Leyna, who is desperately trying to get you, I'd rather let you go if doing so can make you happy." I cringed when he suddenly hugged me. He hugged me so tightly that it made me feel tight, but I ignored the tightness. I hugged him back, and these tears flowed by themselves without asking for my approval. "Don't love me so much, Leslie. You will suffer for it," he said softly in my ear. I don't understand what he means at all. He let go of my hug and stared intensely at me again. "Why do you love me so much? You are beautiful, Leslie. You can get any man you want." "What if I told you I just want to be with you?" He looked surprised at my answer. I don't want to lie to myself anymore. I will express all that I feel. "But why?" "You were my first love, Sean. And I'm sure you too will be my last love. You're the first man who made my heart go crazy just by being near you. I feel comfortable with you. We already have a lot of memories, and I'm happy about that. all those memories will be the binder of our relationship, I believe that." Sean suddenly held his head and winced in pain. He almost fell if I was even a little late to hold him back. "W-what are you doing, Sean? Does your head hurt again?" I was so panicked to see sweat roll down his temples. Is it that painful that he feels? He even growled in pain. "What's wrong with you, Sean? I beg you tell me. You should immediately go to the hospital and check yourself." "SHUT UP!!" his screams stunned me. "Talking to you is making my head hurt even more. Go! Leave me!" I ignored what he said and tried to wipe the sweat from his temple. "GO!! DO NOT BOTHER ME!!" he shouted again, which I ignored. Sean looks sick. What happened to him? Just hearing his growls, moans, and pained face, I could tell he was in so much pain. "Sean, I beg you to tell me, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so miserable?" "Don't you understand human language? In what language should I speak to you? I said go away and don't bother me!!" He shook off my grip on his body, causing him to collapse and fall to the floor. I certainly do not remain silent. I helped support his limp body. "Memories with you, I don't have them," he said suddenly, leaving me in astonishment and confusion. "What do you mean, Sean?" "Go, get away from me!! Being with you makes me sick!!" he snapped again. I didn't understand Sean's situation, making me even more curious about what had happened to him. He pushed me so hard that I fell to the floor. With his face red with anger, he shouted back at me. "GO!!" I got up, and this time, I complied with his wishes. "I will keep waiting, waiting for you to tell me why you are behaving like this to me. I believe you have your reasons. As long as you haven't said goodbye to me, I will never stop waiting. I know you're hiding something from me, Sean. You know I'm a very stubborn person right?" I smiled at him briefly before I left him.
