Chapter 48

Duaaarrr... 

Lightning flashed along with a terrible flash. At the far end of the room, a man was standing. 

"Haaah? W-what is that?" Nina got scared and stepped backwards until she bumped into Aiden's back. 

"What is it?" Aiden asked annoyed, even though he had not put on his pants. 

"T-that, there's a person standing at the other end!" 

"What?" 

Duaaarrr... 

"Kyaaa..." Nina screamed and immediately jumped on Aiden's back. Hug his neck tightly. 

"Ouch...what are you doing? Let me go!" 

"Aiden, there's someone there! He's watching us! How is this?" 

"Let me go! You-" 

"I'm afraid, what if he's a bad person? Our history is over!" 

"Noisy! Don't talk in my ear!" 

"You can martial arts, right?" 

"Martial arts, what do you mean?" 

"Karate, taekwondo, wushu, boxing, you can do that, right?" 

"Stupid! What do you think I am?" 

"You're a man, your body is also muscular. You can definitely protect me, right? What if he attacks us?" 

"You just protect yourself! Why me?" 

"I can't defend myself-" 

"Mastering martial arts is also useless if he has a weapon!" 

"But at least you can fend it off, right? Or make yourself a shield so I can survive!" 

Aiden was silent, trying to digest the meaning of the sentence that he had to become a shield from bad people so that this banana girl could survive. 

"Don't just go around talking! If there's a chance to run away, I'll definitely run away and leave you alone here!" 

"Cruel! How dare you!" 

"I don't care!" He said as he took a step, back to where they were. 

"Aiden, don't you want to see? It looks like he's still standing there!" 

Duaaarrr... 

"Kyaaaa..." This was Nina's second scream and made Aiden even more annoyed. 

"What is it?" 

"Aiden, his face is so scary-" 

"What?" 

"Don't be a ghost?" 

"Impossible! Ghosts don't exist!" 

"Who says there isn't one? Look at that, he's standing at the other end. He hasn't moved a bit!" 

Aiden tried to observe with the dying flashlight. But at least, it could help him see that there was someone standing on the other end. 

"Right, what is he doing?" 

"Must be a ghost!" 

"No way, it's possible that he's just as trapped in here as us!" 

"Or could it be, he does live here. Like the stories of the vlogers I saw on the internet. How about this? Maybe he was carrying an axe, or a sickle or a sword or-" 

"Shut up! You are rambling on. We better find something to protect ourselves!" He said while walking to a corner and looking for things that could help them protect themselves, if it was true that the person wanted to attack them. 

"What are you looking for?" 

"There is thick wood, if he messes up, I will hit it with this wood!" Aiden said while swinging the wood in his hand. 

"Is that so? What's with that work?" 

"We can't fight people who hold weapons with their bare hands. Never mind, let's hide!" Aiden found a large table in the corner of the wall, pulled it over and hid under it. 

"There?" 

"So, where else? There's no safe place here!" 

"Then, where am I hiding?" 

"Up to you!" 

Duaaarrr... 

"Kyaaa..." 

"Hey, sssttt...don't scream! What if he hears?" 

"So, what should I do ?" 

"Ah... well, come on in!" He said while giving a little space for her to join him. 

"Ouch..  so narrow, watch your feet!" 

"Don't keep protesting! If you don't like it, just find another place!" 

Nina was forced to huddle while facing like this with Aiden. They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats. 

"Aiden!" 

"Yes?" 

"Are we going to survive? How about-" 

"You watch too many horror movies, because of you I am affected. Now I have to be stuck here, doing stupid things and this is all because of you!" 

"I'm sorry, when we get out of here, I'll cook you some delicious food as an apology." 

"Hey, what did you dream about?" 

"Dream? What dream?" 

"I'm the one who asked you, what did you dream about while sleeping?" 

"Dream? Humm..." Nina tried to remember her dream. As that image appeared in her mind, she felt very embarrassed. 

"Why are you silent? You don't remember?" 

"N-no! I-I just-" 

"Earlier you call my name, that's why I'm curious!" 

"Nothing, it's nothing important!" Nina bowed her head in embarrassment. Of course that wasn't something she could tell him about. But somehow, she could actually feel Aiden's touch on her body. 

"Doesn't sound like something to talk about, huh?" 

"Yes, I just challenged you to an instant noodle eating contest and whoever loses must grant the winner's wish!" 

"So, she had that dream? But it seems different from what I heard!" He thought. 

"So, what's your wish?" 

"If I win, I want you to pay off all my debts." 

"Why is that the bet? I don't want to!" 

"It's just a dream, why are you protesting?" 

"Then, how about me? What do I ask of you?" 

"Erm... t-that you-" Nina stammered. It seems very difficult to describe. 

"What? I want what?" 

"Never mind, forget it! it's not important, just a dream!" 

"Don't make me curious, tell me quickly!" 

"Erm...that, how should I put it? Hahaha..." 

"Not funny! You made people curious, you even pretend to be stupid!" 

"You asked me to sleep with you!" 

"What?" Aiden was taken aback, how could in the banana girl's dream he asked something as embarrassing as that? 

"Hahaha... that's why I don't want to tell you!" 

"So, who won?" 

"You!" 

"Oh, I see?" Aiden suddenly went limp. Moreover, he also dreams of something that is no less embarrassing and interesting, they both dream of having sex at the same time. 

Because he felt very ashamed, a dream like that to reveal his assets as a man without him knowing it. This speaker brought silence, as he and Nina were both immersed in their own strange fantasies. 

"My back hurts looking down all the time like this!" Nina muttered. She found it difficult because she was in an uncomfortable position. 

Meanwhile Aiden could lean back and stretch his long legs. Even though he was the one who took up a lot of space under this table. 

"Come here!" 

"What?" 

"If your back hurts, you can lean on me!" 

"Huh? B-but-" 

"If you don't want to, just endure it like that!" 

"Okay!" Nina pressed her body against Aiden's chest and leaned back nervously. He could feel Aiden's heartbeat very clearly. 

"My clothes smell, huh?" He asked. 

"No! It's still smells of perfume." 

"You sniffed my clothes?" 

"Not on purpose! What else can I do?" 

"Hahaha... it smells good? Expensive perfume, you can't afford it!" 

"You're so arrogant!" 

"Your hair also smells like shampoo, it smells good!" Aiden said while sticking his nose into her hair. 

"You sniffing my hair?" 

"I accidentally!" 

"You don't need to worry, the price of the shampoo is cheap. You can definitely buy it," she lifted her face with a chuckle. 

"Is that so? Then, I'll buy a lot later-" Aiden pulled Nina's chin, brought his face closer and landed directly on her lips. 

Their hearts beat very fast, their eyes closed and let the tenderness sink into the soul. 

Soft and very sweet, that's how Aiden feels. Strange, he felt very strange about himself. He really enjoyed it, even when they stopped, he immediately pulled Nina to do it again. Insert his tongue and devour it until it runs out. 

Nina put her arms around Aiden's neck and they did it for minutes. When they stopped, their bodies trembled from the strange sensation that coursed through their bodies. Nina looked down, realizing what they had just done. 

Aiden was the same, his face felt hot. The impulse that he had always been able to hold back as a man, collapsed in front of this one woman. Now, they were too shy to speak and had to look in opposite directions so their eyes wouldn't meet. Although the thumping was still very clearly audible. 

"Sleep! I'll be on guard!" 

"Are you serious? I can't sleep. You just sleep, if anything happens, I'll wake you up later!" 

"How can I sleep in this state?" He thought. 

Praaanggg... 

Came the sound of glass shattering and scattering on the floor. 

"What's that?" Nina muttered. In a flash, a figure standing in the corner of the room earlier appeared in her mind. 

"Don't make noise! ​​I can't hear anything else!" 

"That means it's true, that was definitely a ghost."
