Chapter 27

Gale and the rest of the employees were given orders and specific areas where they could serve. She would be serving in the dining hall of VIP’s although she had no license to be permitted in serving here, Hansel had made easy access for her.

Dress like a waiter and her hair was bun like everyone else. The ship started to sail past nine o’clock in the morning. Customers arrive right before lunch until the night she had seen no shadow of any of them. Just when she was about to take a break, Hansel entered the floor along with Yanarym.

Both of them look like they are going along together like normal friends traveling. Unlike her, Yanarym is wearing a bright cyan off-shoulder flowy ankle-length dress, wearing a pair of white wedge rubber shoes. Her hair was braided into two and has natural make-up on her face.

The way she dresses, she looks like a rich teenager having a vacation, just like those who entered this area. When their eyes met, Gale couldn’t help but feel slight embarrassment wearing black trousers with plain rubberized black shoes. Above was a white polo that’s being partnered with a black blazer.

"Gale!" Yanarym waved at her, ran in her direction without any restraint. Gale heard Hansel yelling that she should be careful but Yanarym being Yanarym she keeps on running.

The ship is very stable but at that very moment, it got slanted making Yanarym tripped on her feet. Gale’s eyes widened as she saw that she could slam her head on the sharp edge of the table if she continued to fall so Gale firmly closed her eyes out of reflex.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO RUN!" An angry roar of a deep voice echoed in the entire room. When Gale had opened her eyes she saw Spencer embracing Yanarym so tightly that Gale could feel that she was losing her breath too.

Spencer’s expression couldn’t be explained in words on how relieved he is, the entire time that she was running he saw in his own eyes, what happened.

Spencer was behind Hansel and her, giving them time to talk, Hansel looks somehow very blissful with their meet-up and is particularly galvanized talking to Yanarym.

Spencer’s used to seeing Hansel pretend whatever hypocrisy role he is playing when people are around. Spencer is also used when he sees Hansel’s dull, dark, and eerie ambiance when they are alone.

Despite that, it’s a very new view for him to see Hansel treat someone like an actual human being. Even the way he talks and guides her is different by how he treats those he manipulates out of his interest surging. Spencer saw no malice in it or ill-intention, just a pure innocent conversation.

Whilst roaming on the deck, Yanarym asked Gale’s whereabouts so Hansel took them to where is her area of work. Yanarym excitedly pulled them to see Gale, and they just followed along. Reaching the higher deck, the both of them entered the room, and Spencer who was walking all day with Yanarym follows from behind.

He hates it when some other male approaches her but for some reason, he is comfortable with Hansel taking care of his girlfriend. Maybe because he saw how he treats her like a little sister.

From the point that Hansel pointed in Gale’s direction, he saw how Yanarym ran with a fast pace towards her, what was unexpected was the sudden tilting of the ship, causing Yanarym to trip on her own feet.

A gashed of anxiousness bloom in his heart, adrenaline-rushed in seeing her body falling to the edgy table. He ran as fast as he could to prevent her from falling but was too late to catch her. It was a good thing that before she could slam her head on the table Hansel acted as a cushion to hold her body. In her stead, Hansel’s back was the one which crashed on that side. Everything happened so fast, Spencer continued to run on Yanarym’s side and pulled her with force to embrace her trembling body who seemed shocked.

Spencer was so scared that he couldn’t help shouting at her. He is mad but so concerned. He tightened his grasp and felt her warm on his arms. He almost lost her like that...he kissed the top of her head trying to calm both of his and her nerves.

"It’s fine, everything’s alright now." He mumbled with a coaxing tone on her ears, tucking her hair.

"Are you okay?" He turned to the man who saved her life.

Beneath them, there was Hansel who was kneeling beside the table looking hurt by something.

"I-I’m so sorry," Yanarym said, shaking looking apologetically at Hansel who bruised his back. That should be her bruise. Staff and other employees assisted them from this accident.

"Don’t worry, it’s just a scratch." Hansel smiled at her, caressing her right cheek. "I’ll see you later, I’ll need to go to the clinic to aid this." He added that a staff member guides him to go to the clinic on the ship.

Spencer felt that her shoulder was still trembling so he asked some staff to give them some area to rest. They were directed to the private room beside the dining room. He consoled her, kissing her tears away.

"You’re safe now, don’t cry anymore." He softly rubs her cheeks and head to coax her.

"Y-you both told me not to run... but I still d-did." She hiccupped and covered her eyes to cry loudly. Spencer let her weep to calm down.

Once she stopped crying she was so quiet but still sobbing. Gale entered the room with some food and drinks on the tray she was holding.

"Rym..." She called her out, Yanarym lifted her gaze to her and she started whaling again.

"Galeeeee! Huhuhu!" She got off Spencer’s arm and embraced Gale tightly, "I almost died! Wahhhh!"

"There, there, sshhh, you are safe now."Gale calmed her down, and Spencer watched how Gale took care of Yanarym like she’s been used to doing it all time.

She fed her and coaxed her and sang her to sleep. If Gale were a man, Spencer would definitely get jealous seeing how close they are.

Ever since he is aware that this Gale has a certain place on Yanarym’s heart but he would always put Gale out of the picture. Right now, he could see how Yanarym reacts to Gale, it’s so different from the way Yanarym is treating him.

His face distorted thinking that if this ship sinks, Yanarym would probably choose to save Gale first than him...

"She’s sleeping soundly, you can carry her to your room now so she can sleep more comfortably," Gale said softly, brushing Yanarym’s hair like a mother.

Spencer did not say a word and carried Yanarym, walking with Gale on the cold breeze of the sea air slamming their body as they passed the path of the open area.

Gale assisted Spencer in opening the door when he stopped at a certain door. "Thanks."

"This is our room, you can use the room beside us since it’s under Rym’s name," Spencer said without glancing at her, he placed Yanarym full of care on the bed and covered her with the quilt. Brushing her hair out of her face.

"Thank you again for helping me to calm her down."

"No worries, she’s like my family."

"Yeah." Long silence dominates them and Gale had to cough to relieve the unknown tension.

"Yes, if you need anything just call for me." She nodded and watched Spencer kiss Yanarym’s face before closing the door.

It was dawn when Yanarym was awakened. She rubbed her eyes and yawned out of her lack of motivation to get up. She tried to roll around to face Spencer who was still sleeping.

Yanarym saw dark circles under his eyes. It looks like this man did not sleep early yesterday because of what happened.

Guide-sama: "...why do you have to do that anyway?"

"Well, I told you, I have to find a way to get on Hansel’s good side."

Guide-sama: "You almost died, Yanarym."

"Almost but didn’t." She laughs in her head and even if Guide-sama has no physical appearance, she could imagine how he frowned his lips by disapproving of her actions.

The once monotonous robotic kid voice is now showing a different tone with a hint of emotional changes. It’s cute...

Guide-sama: "...it’s not." Reacting to her thoughts she laughed again.

What is the reason why Guide-sama is so hyped up anyway? Well, yesterday, she made a full strategic plan on how to advance her steps closer to Hansel.

Anyhow, she heeded Hansel’s way of interacting with her. Feeling that he seems not to hate her but in fact, likes her too much, he even saved her from the danger that night. Although she planned to see how he would respond to her if she was in danger.
