Part 9: Beautiful Landscape

HARLEN

It's so dark around here! A little light in the distance from the edge of the forest was not enough to dispel my panic and fear. How pathetic! I told myself I would try to become a more courageous person, but in the end I'm still just that shy. After the fall, my leg hurt so much that I couldn't get up.

What should I do?! Will people notice my absence and start a search? I guess a useless person like me wouldn't have anyone to pay attention to, huh? Perhaps I'm the only one who grew up from a remote seaside and is afraid of ghosts. Boys my age in the countryside are not that cowardly!

Tristan, will you notice my disappearance? I still want to meet you, talk to you and show you beautiful dresses…

At this moment, I heard footsteps in the distance. The sound of footsteps did not help me feel secure and even caused more fear. Is it a human or a ghost?! Can ghosts make footsteps when moving?

My question was answered when I saw the person coming in front of me. Thank you for finding me, Tristan! This incident made the unrequited feelings inside me flare up even more strongly! After a few simple sentences, Tristan suddenly picked me up. This came as a complete surprise to me! My face is burning, it must be red by now! Tristan immediately gave an explanation: “Um, because your legs are hurting, I think carrying you on my back wouldn't be very convenient!”

It turned out to be because Tristan thought about how I felt. He is such a delicate person. However, his words did not stop there.

“To be sure, hold my neck tight.”

That would be too embarrassing! But, I didn't say no either. I gently put my arm around Tristan's neck. At this time, our faces were very close to each other. I'm trying to suppress the emotion of wanting to kiss his cheek!

“But why are you in such a situation? Lost the way and tripped.”

“Well… not everyone from the sea is skillful and good at orientation. Not to mention, I'm also... scared of ghosts! Fear makes me lose my mind! I thought I was going to die here!”

Tristan suddenly laughed and embarrassed me. What is there to laugh about?! I'm really scared! I puffed my cheeks sulky, of course Tristan couldn't see.

“You can't die! In case I reach the destination before you, you will be declared a loser in this game. At that time, the staff of this place will immediately look for you. This was thoroughly communicated when they read the rules, didn't you hear what they said?”

“Ah… is that so? Because I was too shaken, I couldn't hear the rules. But how did you find me?”

“Well… instinct told me? At that time, instead of going in the right direction, my gut told me to go in a different direction. That direction will lead me to a beautiful princess waiting for me.”

“Come on… stop teasing me!”

“Haha… okay, I won't tease you anymore. But, even if I reach my destination before you, I will definitely still be the one to find you first, before the staff here. In any situation, you don't need to worry. I will always be with you!”

What he said made me so emotional that I wanted to cry! I'm lucky that I get to know him. Even though this feeling will never be accepted, I still feel satisfied because I love a wonderful guy like him! But... I still hold out a small hope. I asked: “Why are you so worried about me?!”

“We're friends!” – Tristan answered immediately.

Indeed! In his eyes, I was still just a roommate, classmate and the same club. But, it’s okay! That's how things must be! Tristan is not like me. The person who will be with him later will be a real girl, not a guy who likes to be a girl like me. This is fine!

After a while, the scene before my eyes changed. This place is still somewhere in the forest, not the destination. However, there were bright lights hanging around, an unusually warm light. Tristan put me down on a tree stump that had been cut down.

Tristan smiled at me: “Let those annoying guys wait a little longer! I want to take you to this place!”

“Where is this place?!”

“The most beautiful place in this tourist area, but not many people come here.”

“Why?”

“This place is for couples in love. The scenery around this place is very romantic at night. Not many young couples like to go to the Emerald tourist area, this place is mainly only for the grandparents to review old memories.”

“But… why did you bring me here? We… are not a couple in love. Not to mention… we're all guys.”

Tristan stared at me for a moment and then said: “You don't have to take it that seriously! I think, having come to this tourist area, we should also explore every corner of it. No one forbids us to enjoy beauty. This place has two beauties for me. The first is the surrounding scenery. The other thing is… you! You are so cute tonight! It seems like I haven't had a chance to compliment you yet.”

I blushed, this time for sure Tristan will see my face: “Um… thank you! I'm so happy! It's a bit strange for a guy to be happy because another guy calls him cute.”

“I see no problem at all. Like I said, no one forbids us to enjoy beauty. If you feel like your current look is the best version of you, feel free to enjoy it!”

I put my hands behind my back: “Thank you! I think I've decided!”

“What did you decide?!”

“It's a secret!”

At this point, I switched to whispering. My voice is so small that I can't hear it myself: “I love you the most!” What I decided was, I would express my feelings for him after this trip was over, despite the possibility of a deterioration in our relationship.

Tristan smiled again and walked over to pick me up. Tristan said: “All right! We should be getting back.”

Go a little further, the destination is right in front of our eyes. There were four beautiful girls that I told myself I couldn't be as beautiful as them, looking at us with worried eyes. When they saw us, they were relieved of their burden. But then, their faces changed to a state of surprise, probably because they saw Tristan holding me like a princess. I embarrassedly turned my face away.

If the rules were followed, Tristan and I should have lost this game, but the organizers just laughed and declared that every player won. Maybe they didn't want to ruin the happy atmosphere between us.

That night, four people in the club invited me to Duffey's room to “talk about girly things all night”. They did not invite Tristan because he was not a girl. I had to beg for a while before they let him in. Even so, Tristan just sat in a corner of the room reading a book and did not participate in our conversation. The reason is, the topic of this conversation is exactly the same as in hot springs, which are things that only girls say to each other.

Except Tristan is still wearing a white shirt and a pair of black trousers, all five of us have changed into sleeping clothes, of course, for women. I wear an ankle-length pink long-sleeve nightgown with a V-neck, with a small bow between the neck. The remaining four chose a more sexy style, all wearing lace nightgowns with padded breasts and thong panties. I secretly felt self-conscious because my appearance and style could not be as beautiful as theirs.

After a while of sitting in the same reading position, Tristan stretched to relieve shoulder fatigue. It wouldn't be worth talking about if his hand didn't accidentally touch a “strange object”. By reflex, Tristan grabbed it and brought it in front of him to determine what it was. It's … a red bra.
