I was in a hurry, but the question just popped in my mind without me realizing it. Yes, I know its not the right time to ask, but Im just curious.

Well. No.

I shook my head quickly, emphasizing to him not to mind what I just asked if he doesnt want to answer.

Silence enveloped the entire room as if an angel just passed by. When suddenly, the sound of a loud chain interrupted the awkward silence between us. Soon, he spoke.

Ten years old. You know, I was ten years old. Ive been here since then.

My sight turned to his shaking eyes. So hes been locked up in this room for six years? I nodded as a response to his answer, a little bit shocked.

I dont even think I could survive being in here for that long. He might have forgotten the feeling of freedom, wander around and do whatever he wants. Yes, he was able to go out in the garden and have a walk, but thats not even considered being free. Because having real freedom is living a life without cuffs and restraints.

I see. Well, Id really like to hear more about it, but I have something more urgent to do today.

Ur, urgent?

Yes.

Ricdorians past was only analogous to the conversations in the book, hence I dont know everything. Its an obscure past.

My curiosity about him was raised to notch once again, but I soon remembered Jair and the reason I came here.

Youre curious, right? Thats right. This is why I came at night.

I reached for my pocket, opened it, and pulled out a candy. Using the hand, which Jair casted the magic on, I jiggled it in front of him. First, this was the trick, give him the candy, and then second, explain the magic.

There is something I wanted to give you. This is it.

For a long time, Ive been thinking about how to cast the spell inside this room. How about casting the magic on his cheeks?

Ugh!

I cant do this, explaining to him might be difficult. But I still decided to continue.

If you eat this, youll see something extraordinary.

It was a magic that ordinary people couldnt see. Besides, this is what Jair had prepared, especially for Ricdorian.

In fact, this, after eating

I was about to tell him that this was from someone who wanted to help him. But

Can, can I eat?

Yes, you can eateh? I widen my eyes.

No, like this? Thats not the response I was expecting. Hes so innocent!

I couldnt hide my absurdity.

No, why dont you dont ask me why? I said and quickly raised my hand.

Hearing me, Ricdorian pouts.

What should I ask?

I dont know if hes a hungry beast who wants to eat everything he thinks is edible, or he just really trusts me this much.

Gosh, he tilted his head when he asked the question, and his silver hair fell.

I looked at his innocent eyes and was speechless. He looks so cute.

I shook my head and then shifted my eyes to the candy. I looked at him and at the candy alternately.

Oh, come on, I always brought you food but still you shouldnt just eat whatever I give you.

His face looks tantalizing that I ran out of words to say.

Ricdorian, you cant just eat the candy without any doubt.

From now on, you have to be vigilant and careful. You cant eat what others give you, especially medicine and drugs.

Yes, I wanted him to eat this treat in order for me to say the spell, but he needs to be aware that there are evil people out there and that he shouldnt trust too much.

I sighed. Its just a candy, though.

Frustrated, Ricdorian stammered.

EaEating that.. Ill be fine.

Of course not. What if Im a bad person?

But

Wait. Why are you looking at me like that?

His gaze that seemed to contain the color of the sea caught me. I flinched at his glistening eyes, wherein his tears looked like it were about to fall the moment he blinks.

are you going to hurt me?

Ba-dum. Ba-dum.

My heart throbbed rapidly as if it had its own instinct.

He was already soaked with his sweat, but still, his beautiful face covered that imperfection. The shackles in his hands under that sacred face evoked a stimulating imagination.

I immediately lowered my face, what am I thinking. I am not a pervert!

You didnt hit me, you didnt beat me to pulp. You didnt break plateswell, you always give me something delicious!

But you cant just trust me. Havent you ever heard of the saying Todays friend is tomorrows enemy?He just shook his head.

Oh, maybe theres no such thing as that in here.

While agonizing, Ricdorian, who just answered me, tilted his head.

You can hit me.What? What is he talking about?

With a puzzled look, I raised my head and stared at him.

whos gonna hit who?

Bubut last time

You still remember that joke? Youre such a persistent man!

He always takes jokes seriously.

I shook my head, then this time, stared at him with a ludicrous look. Not long after, I put the candy in his hand, hoping that time would pass. I need to get out soon because the atmospheres getting weird.

Lets just say I am not dangerous today. Next time, dont trust me easily. Anyway, eat this. We dont have time.

Ricdorian:

You hear me, right? Do you understand? He nodded.

I guess hes not turning into a beast anytime today.

I saw his fingers grabbing me, but I pretended not to know.

I prepared the candy because I didnt know if the magic created by Jair would hurt Ricdorian. To boot, I brought it because I thought it would be much better for Ricdorian to bite something sweet while I perform the magic.

With his hands up, Ricdorian put the candy in his mouth without hesitation. He put his hand on his cheek as he sucked the candy.

I felt strange at this sight. How could he eat that without even doubting my intentions?
