                The black car glided through the highway faster than ever. The man who was driving it was thinking about something else rather than focusing driving the car.He thought that he should be happy after seeing Maki, but somehow, his heart broke even more. He got all the answer from her. Slowly, Yamapi changed the lane and drove his car to the same place he went when he was in a mess. The phone, which had been ringing since an hour ago, kept ringing back. He did not have to pick up it since he knew it too well who was calling him. Finally, he reached the place that he loved most when he was in mess. Beach. Leaning back on his seat, his gaze fixed on view in front of him. But, somehow, what appeared in front of his eyes was not the view that he liked most, but the memory between him and Maki.

“I’ve told you already, don’t wear the cute dress when you go to the show!” Yamapi complained when they watched Cartoon KATTUN show together in his apartment. It was a few months since their first kiss in front of her apartment. Tugging his arms, Maki just smiled widely. She knew too well of his jealousy aura, especially when she was around with any kind of man.

“I wear the simplest clothes that I have in wardrobe on that day. Even it was the colour of funeral.” She defended herself. Yamapi scoffed hearing her reasons.

“ Then, how come Bakanishi could not stop looking at you, and that stupid Kame looked like he wanted to eat you,” The man spoke again, and his forehead creased even more wrinkles. Poking his cheek, Maki smiled seeing her boyfriend’s behavior.

“I thought you said you are not jealous again?” said Maki while intertwining her hands with him.

“Well, that was before the show. Geez….I’m going to make sure to hit those boys head when I meet them again,” Yamapi knuckled his hand, and punching it on his pillow. The woman who sat next to him was just giggling, enjoying his jealousy over KATTUN’s men. Maki went to his kitchen, making some coffee. Glancing from the television, he eyed her back and smiled widely.

                The two of them started to date since he stole the kiss from her that night. Well, he did not come to her on that term actually. He came for another reason. That day, the way, Maki kept praising other man in front of him really tickled him off. And it was bad enough until he was angry to her. That was why he ignored her so that he would not burst his angriness and let her know how jealous he was on Kame. But, after a while, guilty started to haunt him everywhere. Her sadness and disappointed face made him rushed to her apartment immediately after he came back from TV station. It was not he did not pick up her call on purpose. That day, he silenced the phone since he was working and did not realized on the call until he finished the tv program. Later, he was standing like an idiot, in her place, waiting for her to come back. Thank god, he managed to run from the prey eyes of media, to stalk him and followed him to see Maki.

                On that day, the kiss that he shared…or maybe he stole from her, was unplanned. Seriously, he never thought he would do impulsive thing like that on Maki. Among all girls he met, she was the most goody one. Not ty, innocent, pure but intelligent. However, his libido took over him that day. He could not resist from her cheeks when she was totally blank and kissed . Plus, it was drove by his obsessiveness on marking her
