36 Deeply In Love

Butler Omni sighed while he looked at Ryu's back who was now walking to his room. He was Ryu's partner in crime at most so the latter trusted him.

Ryu's situation right now was tough. He frowned at the thought that someone was trying to mess with him. He was also curious to know who that person was. But one thing is for sure, whoever it is, will surely get busted in due time.

Regarding Arya, the girl seemed to be a nice person that was caught up in between. He understood Arya, because she was probably feeling torn inside – it was like choosing between her family and Ryu and if he was her he would definitely choose family first.

If Arya tells Ryu everything, there's still no assurance that Ryu could save her parents and sister from the person who orchestrated the outrageous plan.

So if he was Arya, the safest she can do was to just obey the person behind the outrageous thing.

He clearly explained his point of view to Ryu so he just hoped that Ryu will understand Arya's situation if the latter chose to still hide everything from him.

What was important was Ryu had the choice since he was aware on what was coming to him. He had a choice to guard himself and not to get hurt in the process.

However, the way he sees it, Ryu had fallen deeply in love with that girl already with that short span of time. There's no need to ask him about it because Ryus's eyes and actions confessed it all.

He just hopes that things don't end up tragically and Ryu, who was like an own child to him won't get hurt along the way.

Ryu inserted himself under Arya's comforter as he positioned on his side to stare at her for a while. He understands everything, her situation. That was why he was doing his best to get to the bottom of it.

"Will you still choose to leave me in the end? I hope you won't because I think I am going crazy and will definitely hate you if that happens." Ryu murmured as he hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.

The next day, Ryu woke up early and prepared Arya's food himself. Butler Omni just observed him grinning. "If your mom was here, she would be so jealous."

Ryu just laughed and said straightforwardly, "I want Arya to fall in love me."

"But I think she likes you a lot already." Butler Omni commented as he passed the salt to Ryu.

"That's a different thing, like is superficial and it's a given to like me easily because I am handsome, rich and likable while love is much deeper. If she loves me, it will be hard for her to leave me." Ryu replied while he tasted the dish he was cooking.

Butler Omni sighed and looked at Ryu closely.

"Who knows, she maybe loves you already. Child, are you competing with her family now?" he asked directly because it seemed to be going that way.

Ryu stopped on what he was doing and looked at him helplessly.

"They say that a way to man's heart is through his stomach. I've noticed Arya loves to eat so I will start with feeding her myself to capture her heart." Ryu replied as he continued on what he was doing.

Butler Omni just shook his head. Ryu was obviously competing for Arya's love. He no longer repeats his question because obviously, Ryu did not want to answer that.

"Capturing her heart with a simple omelette? It's a way to a man's heart – Is that saying applicable to a woman also?" Butler Omni laughed so hard because Ryu already had broken seven eggs just to make an omelet with a perfect taste.

Ryu scratched his head and said pouting, "What? It's the thought that counts. Besides, this was not easy."

"Why don't you just let the cook do that and let's just say you did it yourself," Butler Omni suggested although knowing Ryu, he knew he would not do that.

"That's cheating and you know how I hated that," Ryu commented. He tasted the omelette and it's salty this time.

His lips curved unhappily as he spoke, "It's either bland or salty. Why can't I do simple thing like this perfectly?"

Butler Omni laughed once more and said meaningfully, "It's the same in love. Sometimes, doing your best is still not enough."

"Oh stop it already Butler Omni or I will send you back at Ken Mansion. Besides, when did you become a love expert? Find yourself a wife first then I will believe whatever you say and your opinion in love." Ryu said ironically.

This time, Butler Omni scratched his head and just continued to watch Ryu without commenting a word at all.
