The car ride back to the villa was silent. Mara was exhausted and slept in the back seat of the six-seater. Nina was still clutching onto Fabian but when she does notice it and removes her hand, Fabian puts her hand in his hand. Nina looks up to him sleeping peacefully. He looked angelic. She could spend her entire day just staring at his face. She held his hand tightly as she felt her heart would jump out of her chest anytime soon. This was something new that she felt. She was scared to confront her feelings but ready to jump into anything for Fabian.

What was this something that she was feeling?

The car reached the villa but Fabian was still asleep, his head on Nina's shoulders, his hand entangled with hers. In this world full of chaos, they found solace in each other. After half an hour, he finally opens his eyes and is met with Nina's doe eyes staring into his soul. Their lips were inches apart and it felt as if they were drawn to each other. But a sudden knock on the car window snapped them from their trance.

"Will you guys now come out? It's freezing out here." Mara says, hiding her chuckle. She had caught them almost kissing but was worried someone might see them.

It was true that it was freezing out there but Nina and Fabian couldn't feel it. They could only feel each other's warmth which gave them strange relief. Was it because of the circumstances that they were going through right now or was it because they have been through the same emotions? Losing a loved one and seeking revenge? Whatever it was, it sure felt right.

Back in the villa, Fabian had tucked Nina in her bed. None of them talked about the moment they had in the car. They did not want to make things awkward between them in this mess. They had no idea how both of them were craving for each other. They just suppressed their feelings.

"Wanna make me some ramyeon?" Mara leans on the door frame, looking at those love birds. How unfortunate it was for love to blossom in this chaos but at the same time was heartwarming and beautiful. She had to preserve this love.

"Sure." Fabian gets up and closes the door behind him with a glum look on his face. He did not want to leave Nina's side even for a second.

As he was preparing the ingredients, Mara stared at his face, longingly. Her crush on Fabian was still there but she knew she can't do anything. She was sitting on the counter and asked him suddenly,

"So it is true."

"What?" his half attention was on the boiling water and half of it was towards Nina's room.

"You are in love." She stretches the last word playfully. Fabian's face turns red and he starts to babble.

"What? No! I don't love Nina!" he says, putting a bit.

"Who mentioned Nina?" Mara chuckles to see Fabian struggling to form words. She gets down from the counter and taps on his shoulder.

"You gotta confess to her properly. You know how stubborn she gets. She will never acknowledge her own feelings but might say yes if someone else does....." she trails off giving Fabian a faint idea. "Remember, Patricia's eyes are always following you. I hope you take it slow."

"You can eat ramyeon. I am going to sleep." Mara points at the plate and walks off, leaving Fabian alone with his thoughts.

Should he? Should he not?
