I HATE YOU, BUT

Malvin let out a sigh of resignation, as if this topic they were talking about was something that made him tired. The man is rubbing his temples,
“It's not real. I'm not dating Jeane or anyone.” He then looked at Alena who involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.
“Why are you asking? Isn't it okay I'm related to anyone?” Alena gasped, Malvin's words had a point. Now he feels too involved in other people's affairs,
“I just thought Jeane wasn't the type of woman you dreamed of. I didn't mean to say Jeane was a bad woman, but somehow I felt anxious after hearing you were in a relationship with Jeane. I never suspected anyone but Jeane.” Alena's words hung, she realized she was too late to suspect someone.
“I know she's a good girl,” muttered Malvin with a meaningful smile,
“But if you worry about me, I thank you.”
Alena felt ashamed and guilty right then and there. He knew his suspicions against Jeane were unwarranted. As Malvin said, Jeane is now a good girl, so why does she think something bad is going to happen?
“Alena,” Malvin called because he saw Alena so moody. In his heart he was happy, for some reason. Alena is still paying attention to him despite Alena's attention in the context of her sister's attention to her brother.
“Thank you.” Malvin smiled so sincerely that Alena was convinced that Malvin deserved a better girl than Jeane. The man was so nice and what he was. If it is true that Jeane is interested in Malvin, then the girl is already enamored of his sincerity.

Davian got an invitation to dinner at Dion's house, when he told Alena, his wife was so excited and welcomed enthusiastically. It seems Alena feels so familiar with her best friend's wife, Sena, since hearing their love story similar to her love story.
During the dinner, the atmosphere felt so warm and familiar. They discussed many things including Davian's plan to take time off when his wife's womb entered the age of 9 months.
“I heard it from Mom, the doctor's estimate of the time of birth of the baby could have missed. That's why I want to be by his side to be on standby if the doctor's estimate really misses. I can't imagine Alena whimpering painfully alone in the moment she's about to give birth, oh God, don't let that happen.” Davian explained at length while occasionally glancing at the smiling Alena knot.
“Dion alone was not like that when I was hospitalized first.” Dion just smiled because he knew Sena did not mean to compare him to Davian, of course they were two very different people.
“You're not jealous?” Davian asked because Dion was smiling indistinctly.
“You have really changed, somehow I feel so proud of you now,” Dion throws a sentence that makes Davian jerk, as well as Alena.
“Change what do you mean? You think I'm Superman who can change?”
“Not so,” Dion brushed aside Davian's joke,
“Don't I say, the human heart is the most complicated component God has ever made. Now you know no, what is clearly written in your heart is not Jeane, but Alena.”
Davian widened his eyes, in fact he had completely forgotten what Kyuhyun said. But this man's words again jolted his deepest conscience. The simple words that were able to slap him, made him realize that the human heart can never be set by the human self itself, he said, but there is always the Hand of God that makes the heart similar to a self-functioning mechanical device and that is what conscience is called. A deepest point in the human heart that is often overlooked, sunk by arrogance.
I don't know why Davian was embarrassed. He was so sure that Jeane's name was engraved in his heart, but God had another will. Maybe Alena's name has long been engraved there only he tried hard to close it with a sense of selfishness.
“Wow, great words,” Alena is now amazed. Behind his ignorant and outspoken attitude who would have thought that Dion was a wise man. One cannot be judged by his appearance alone. Alena also felt embarrassed because she had no thoughts about Jeane. It should not be so bad for the girl.
