Chapter 123 - Morning Discussion

"Are you on our side now?" The question that was asked by Nick at that moment, made Gale frown and then made Elizabeth who had just approached to put a cup of warm chocolate milk and also a cup of coffee there in the end said,

"Yeah… he's calmer than before, Nick!" Elizabeth explained, and in the end, made Nick who was still looking at Gale suspiciously in the end nod and act normal, he didn't look at Gale sharply there anymore.

Gale's gaze is now quietly looking at Elizabeth who smiled in response and at the same time, Lucas came and greeted all of them in the kitchen and dining room.

"Good morning everyone!" a greeting that was thrown by Lucas at that time, in the end, made Nick, Lizbeth, and Wilson reply in unison,

"Morning!!" while Gale just looked at him who now showed a serious face and then sat down immediately beside Nick and said,

"We have something to discuss, Nick!" Lucas said to Nick who was then calmly sipping coffee there and then turned to Lucas and asked,

"Regarding?" a question that was asked by Nick at that time, made Lucas say again,

"Aidan as well as Queen, I guess!" a word that was thrown by Lucas at that moment, stopped Nick's movement who heard it.

"Why me?" a question that was asked by Queen who had just come into the room made Lucas and Nick now turn to look at him, and not only the two of them but Gale and Wilson also did the same there.

"Weapon! Do you have a weapon for your resistance? I mean to protect yourself, Queen?" a question that Lucas asked at that time, made Queen frown and then ask,

"Why should I have it?" a question that was asked by Queen at that moment made Lucas now exhale and then say,

"Isn't that what we should have? So that you can at least protect yourselves!" Lucas explained to Queen, and at the same time now Nick exhaled and then said,

"Lucas… we'll talk about this later when everyone has gathered after breakfast, ok?" a suggestion made by Nick at that moment finally made Lucas nod his head in response and now moved from his place, as if he was about to get juice or coffee, but at the same time, Elizabeth gave him a glass of orange juice, which of course made him happy. Lucas now nodded and accepted the juice while thanking him.

"Ugh… good morning!" a weak groan that was thrown by Vernon at that moment, made them all now turn to look at him who immediately stopped and turned to look at Gale to then say,

"Is he already on our side?" a question asked by Vernon at that time, made Gale now exhale and made Nick and Elizabeth nod their heads in response to the question.

"Oh ok!" said Vernon now walking and then sitting right next to Lucas at that moment. One thing that became interesting at that time was that there wasn't a single person who had just come and sat next to Gale, which of course made the dining table look unbalanced at the time.

"Good morning!!" an exclamation that was thrown by Aidan at that moment, made them all turn back to look at Aidan who was now smiling, and then strolled casually to then sit right next to Gale who was surprised to see his actions that looked normal there.

Even Aidan now turned to look at Gale and smiled as he said,

"Good morning Gale!" Aidan greets Gale who is now nodding in response to the greeting, and not only there, Aidan also greeted one by one while looking at them one by one with a smile at that time.

"Good morning Vernon! Oh… I'm sorry for last night huh!" Aidan said to Vernon who was now nodding his head as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore, which of course made some of them now turn to look at the two and then ask,

"What happened last night, Aidan?" a question that was asked by Wilson at that time, made Aidan want to talk, but Vernon immediately silenced him and shook his head as he said,

"Don't talk about it! No need to discuss! because I don't want to talk about it!" Vernon's explanation at that time made Aidan nod his head in response to that and Lucas who was now smiling because he was one of the witnesses of the hilarious incident last night, which made Wilson frown and then say,

"Lucas… maybe you know!" a word that was thrown by Wilson at that time made Lucas nod his head quickly as he said,

"Yes! Of course, I know!" Lucas explained to Wilson which made Vernon want to run to stop Lucas, but it seemed too late because Lucas said,

"Aidan hit Vernon with the butt of an umbrella, thinking he was a thief!" Lucas explained to Wilson, which of course made those who heard it now chuckle at the explanation and made Vernon just snort at Lucas telling him that. The thing that made Vernon feel embarrassed and didn't need to talk about it.

"Khkh… how did that happen?" a question that was asked by Nick at that time finally made Aidan tell about his point of view which of course made them all laugh and couldn't believe what happened to Vernon at that time.

"Hahaha… what a pity for you! Does it hurt?" Wilson asked Vernon who now turned his gaze to Wilson as he nodded his head and then said,

"Of course! I was also surprised by the sudden attack!" Vernon explained and went back to making them laugh there,

"Ah.. so that's why you want to discuss weapons, Lucas?" a question that was asked by Nick at that time made Lucas nod his head in response,

"Alright… we'll talk about that later!" continued Nick there, and in the end one by one they came and even got as friendly as possible to Gale so that he at least felt comfortable there.

"After breakfast is over, hurry up and head to the assembly room! Because I think there are some things we should talk about and plan for!" Nick explained to all of them who now nodded their heads in response to Nick's words at that time, and they started their breakfast full of laughter that warmed the atmosphere there. Which of course raises a big question mark in Gale's mind right now, about whether he was the only one who was unhappy? Have they seen each other for a long time to be this close? Those are the questions that pop up in Gale's mind, but when Aidan turns to look at him and offers him jam with a friendly smile there,

"I prefer strawberry jam!" explains Gale, who in the end also gives Zach the jam he was using to Gale who now smiles and says,

"Thanks!" to him.

…

"After this, you can do whatever you want, talk… I'll discuss with Queen, Aidan, Lucas as well as Elizabeth!" Nick explained to those already gathered there, which of course made Wilson now frown and then say,

"Wouldn't it be nice if we all joined in on this discussion, Nick?" a question that was asked by Wilson at that time made Nick now turn to look at him and nod his head from the others as well as agreeing with Wilson's words, which in the end Nick exhaled and nodded his head.

"Then after eating, we gather in the living room!" Nick explained to those who nodded their heads in unison and some of them even smiled in response.

…

As Nick said earlier in the dining room that morning, after they finished breakfast, everyone walked together and even talked to each other and went to the living room, where they usually gather and discuss.

Gale sits on the sofa and he is more silent than the others, looking at Gale's residence, makes Wilson walk over to him and then greet him there.

"Hey, Gale!" said Wilson to Gale who now turned his gaze to Wilson and smiled,

"Hi!" Gale greets him who now nods and then says,

"You know me right?" a question that Wilson asked at that moment made Gale nod his head and then say,

"You are that singer right? I saw a lot of your posters!" Gale explained to Wilson who was surprised to hear that and then asked,

"Are you my fan?" a question that was asked at that time, made Gale frown and turn to look at him, and made Wilson chuckle and say,

"Haha… I'm just asking, because out of these eleven people… I don't think anyone recognizes me as a singer, they act normal!" Wilson explained to Gale and it made Vernon who heard it now chuckle and then say,

"So you need fame here, Wilson?" Vernon asked Wilson who was now chuckling and shaking his head as he said,

"No! Of course not… it's just, you guys are weird! No one is impressed the first time you see me? Even though my song was booming at that time!" Wilson looks annoyed by it
