Twins And Falling In Love
57. Olivia Trauma

“Kak? BROTHER?! Are you okay?” EL immediately knelt down and shifted his entire body to bersuk under the table with Olivia.

The woman did not reply, even she did not look like the person she could talk to right now.

“KAKAK!” The EL leaned closer to Olivia while slowly putting both of her hands over Olivia's palm that was still covering her ears.

The woman still remained unreacted even as the EL tried to remove both her hands from the ears.

EL tried his luck again. He placed his right palm over Olivia's left cheek and gently pulled Olivia's hand away from her ear, this time he succeeded, Olivia finally opened her eyes slowly.

“Ho—ney.” His words shook between still significant cries. His sight looked blank and his body still remained trembling.

What the woman said did not sound reasonable to the EL, but she chose to ignore Olivia's words, because the sight before her was far more disturbing than her mutterings. The woman who a moment ago looked brave has vanished replaced by someone who sat down resigned and looked very fragile.

“Alexa Olivia, can you hear me?” EL tries to shake Olivia's shoulder, hoping to resuscitate the woman from her trance. “KAKAK!” He shook Olivia's shoulder again.

Olivia blinked a few times until the tears that clouded her vision faded. Now he could see clearly that the man before him was not Michel— whom he had thought he had been. Olivia swallowed the bitter reality round and after all her senses had returned to functioning, the woman felt her chest tight. Olivia quickly patted her chest violently in the hope that the pain in her heart could go away.

“Sister, can you hear me? Are you all right, brother? it was just the sound of firecrackers and fireworks. You can breathe a sigh of relief now, right?” EL framed Olivia's face with her palm, making a last attempt to get Olivia to look at her. “See me Brother! Hey!”

Olivia took a deep breath and then closed her eyes. The moment when darkness enveloped his gaze was the moment where his entire nightmare repeated itself in his shadow. Michel's charming smile seconds before the attack, lifeless bodies scattered on the floor, hands covered in blood of the man trying to caress his face, her last words as well as the hysterical scream that Olivia let out as Siwon breathed his last. Everything was too painful for Olivia, she made all the effort to forget the tragic incident but the loud bang had stirred up her trauma and Olivia now remembered the dark incident that night.

Unknowingly, Olivia clasped tightly onto El's wrists that were still on either side of her face, as if those two sturdy arms were pegs that held her back from staying sober. He opened his mouth while continuously taking a deep breath, then when his entire defense collapsed, the woman's cry broke. He no longer cared about the fact that he was crying hysterically in front of students he did not know, all he needed at that time was to spill all his pain.

In her life, El will never forget the expression on Olivia's face when she decides to share her pain. Many girls who unravel tears in front of her before—girls who plead for her to accept the girl to date— girls who cry because her love was rejected by el but El's heart never quivered because feeling pain for others before.

For the first time in his life, Daniel felt like protecting someone.

Olivia sat quietly on her couch again, her eyes blankly staring at the still-lit television screen featuring comedy shows but she was still silent, the girl tried to let herself go back to forgetting the terror incident. Wishing that by remaining silent he could forget everything.

El had just swept himself towards the sofa, the woman just resignedly followed where El took her, he said, her mind is too chaotic to think and there is a sense of comfort that the man transmitted to Olivia After putting olivia on the Sofa, el steps in search of the p3k box that Olivia used to treat her.

El kneels before Olivia, intending to treat the woman's bleeding lips. Due to an earlier incident, Olivia unknowingly bit her lip too hard and caused a slight bleeding.

El cleaned his palms with alcohol, then he dipped cotton in a bottle.

“kak this will feel a little sore” said El while applying the cotton was carefully on the lower lip Olivia.

Olivia tightened her jaw when the sensation of heat and pain began to be felt on the surface of her skin, the pain she felt was clearly more painful than she had anticipated.

“kak, stop turning my sister's face, I will finish treating if you do not march to avoid” EL using his left hand to hold Olivia's face which continues to avoid the cotton swab EL hand.

Olivia glared annoyed at EL and directly took the cotton from the man's hand, “let me do it myself”. Olivia took the glass that was nearby to treat her own wound. While the EL just knelt before him, did not know what to do again.

El chooses to sit back on the same couch as Olivia, looking at every olivia activity that treats her own wounds. After she finished putting all the p3k equipment on the table, the girl took a deep breath, holding her breath for as long as she could before finally exhaling slowly. He hopes this way can help make the wound in his heart more numb. His eyes were in tears again as his mind began to return to what happened in Paris a few years ago.

“kak~” said El hesitate.

“El! Talk to me” Olivia said.

“What?” el turned his head to look at Olivia's face.

“Speak, about whatever you want, help me to shift my mind.” He lowered his head, “Please, speak.” Olivia.

“What do you want to talk about?” EL says.

“Anything. Weather, food, school, hobbies, girlfriend, whatever—please talk.” Unknowingly Olivia raised her tone.

EL scrunched his forehead, “kakak, are you okay? You look like a frightened person.”

“I'll be fine as soon as my mind is sidetracked.” Reply ketus, “I have an idea, talk about yourself” he continued.
