I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
76. Look for clues

At the same time, Charlie has just left Jesica's house, and Joel secretly meets Ken without Ariel's knowledge.

Joel waits until the training schedule is over, and asks Ken to come with him when Joel sees Ken out of the studio.

"What would you like to ask me?" ken asked him to break the silence just after Joel had run his car.

Joel glanced at Ken at a glance, then refocused on the road ahead of him.

"I just want to know what happened at the ceremony Ariel attended that night until she came home in such circumstances" Joel replied calmly.

'DEGS,,,!'

"That, I said it, and that's all I know" Ken replied.

"My point is, is there someone who approached her or something?" ask Joel again.

"Ehmm,," Ken muttered, seemingly thinking for a moment.

"There was one guy who approached her, they had a chat, and shortly after, the guy left, and I went back with Ariel's sister" Ken explained.

"Did Ariel's attitude change?" ask Joel.

"Still not yet, Ariel's sister acted strangely a few minutes later, and had time to walk out. But when I caught up with Ariel's sister, she was half conscious, so I helped her get to the car" Ken explained.

"Then why don't you take the call from me if you're with him?" search Joel.

"At that time, my sister's phone fell, and I picked it up after helping Ariel into the car" he said.

'So, Bunny is Joel's brother? Ariel loved her, until she changed her calling like that, Ken's inner self hid her bitter smile.

"What really happened?" ask Ken to pretend he doesn't know.

"He accidentally took a drug that he shouldn't have. And it has side effects because of the dose is excessive," said Joel.

"What,,??" ken was surprised.

What was surprising to Ken when he heard Joel's remark was about the side effects that Ariel had to endure. He did not expect that at all.

"How can you?" hiss Ken was trying to cover up the truth.

'No, what have I done? Side-effects? The woman didn't tell me anything about the side effects, ' Ken's inner self.

"Is Ariel's condition bad?" ask Ken slowly.

"Fortunately nothing bad happened to her" Joel said.

Joel glanced at Ken who showed a look of regret, and he only knew Ken felt guilty for bringing Ariel to the event which actually had nothing to do with Ariel.

"You know what?" joel's words made Ken raise his face to look at Joel.

"If you show Ariel such a face, it's the same as if you've offended her" she continued.

"He helped you because you're like a little sister to him, it's not your fault if there's a problem involving him,"

"But if you act guilty and avoid it, it means you make him think that he has done you wrong" Joel said.

"But, Brother Ariel is innocent, I am yag bersal_,,"

"That's from your point of view, but different from his point of view, I'm sure you know what he looks like if you remember him longer than I do" Joel said.

Ken looked at Joel with a look of admiration, as if it opened his mind and began to understand why Ariel loved the man in front of him.

"Sister Joel really fits with Ariel," said Ken slowly.

"You said that when we were in a relationship" Joel laughed.

"Isn't that true? Or was my guess wrong?" ken replied asking.

"How could you expect such a thing?" joel asked avoiding answering Ken's question.

"From the way Ariel looked at Joel's sister" Ken replied.

"Is that so?" greet Joel.

"Hey, tell me where's your house? I'll drive you home" asked Joel to distract Ken.

"I went down at the front intersection, it was not far from my house, and you didn't have to drive me home" Ken said.

"All right" replied Joel.

"So, brother is trying to avoid my question, right?" search Ken.

"What?" Joel raised his eyebrows.

"Sister is in a relationship with Ariel's sister" Ken said with a grin on his face teasing Joel.

"Right, but please don't spread our relationship" Joel said.

"Why?" ken asked confusedly. "Did Ariel ask for it?" coined.

"No, it's just that I have my own reasons" Joel replied.

"Is that Bram's brother?" guess Ken.

"I'm sure Bram already knows about this but chose silence, and I'm even sure Bram would love to hear this" Ken said.

"How can you be sure?" greet Joel.

"Because of the way Brother and Brother Bram saw Ariel the same brother," replied Ken.

Joel smiled, feeling the change in Ken.

"Ah, just here, I'm getting off here" said Ken, making Joel stop his car.

"Who are you staying with?" ask Joel before Ken gets off.

"Together with my brother" replied Ken. "Thank you for driving me" said Ken.

"No problem, I also need you" replied Joel.

Ken nodded and immediately got out of Joel's car, stepping into the residential area.

When Joel was about to get back to running his car, the ringing sound of the phone stopped him first, making him pull the phone out of his pants pocket.

The look on his face turned bright as he stared at the screen of his phone.

"Hi, Sweety, how was your day?" greet Joel after sticking the phone in his ear.

"Just like always" replied Ariel. "Where are you now?" ask Ariel.

"I_,," Joel thought for a moment, then decided not to tell him the truth.

"I just got out of the hospital, and I'm going home to pick up what's left of me,"

"But after that we have to go back to the hospital. I don't think I can see you today" Joel said.

Silent,,,,

',,,,'

Joel frowned, then looked at the phone and showed that the call was still connected.

"Sweety, are you still there?" joel asked her to bring the phone to her ear again.

"That's it, all right, I get it. It just so happens that today I am also a little busy, so it looks like it will be difficult to meet you. Take care of your health, and do not let your body too tired to work," said Ariel.

"Then you must take care of your health in return, too" Joel said.

"I will" greeted Ariel.

"Bye, Bunny," said Ariel.

"Bye, Sweety," replied Joel.

The call ends, but Joel's feelings turn out to be unsettled. His hand took off his glasses and pressed between his eyes with his finger.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie, but I wanted to find out who really put an aphrodisiac in your drink, to make you drink it,"

"What was the reason he did that to you? If it's to embarrass you, it's too extreme, considering that nobody you know is there" Joel murmured.

Joel returned to running his car and stopped at a place that was not too crowded, began to open his laptop.

"I'm not a professional, but if I just hack someone's personal data, it's really easy for me" Joel said.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Ariel lowered the phone from her ear after ending her call with Joel, letting out a long sigh.

He lifted his face, looked at the door of the house in front of him, then smiled bitterly.

"I just got out of the hospital, and went to your house. Thinking something happened to you. But, you said you just got out of the hospital and are going home?"

"What does this all mean, Joel?" sigh Ariel.

Ariel stood at the door of Joel's locked house, then sat in the lounge chair in front of Joel's house, waiting.

Several times Ariel changed her sitting position, leaning back, lying down, and walking back and forth, but until night, Joel still did not return.

"Hats-chis,,,!!"

"Ugh, why is the air getting colder anyway," Ariel complained after sneezing while rubbing her nose.

His hands turned to rub both of his arms and stared at the ocean visible from where he stood. Tie the hair that he was originally wearing, unconsciously detached and fell under the chair he was sitting on.

"Hats-chis,,,!" again, Ariel sneezed back and she just rubbed her palms together for not carrying a jacket.

After the night crept up, Ariel decided to leave after waiting until midnight Joel still did not come home. And plan to come again the next day. But it ended in vain when Ariel came back, Joel's house still remains empty.

Ariel contacts Joel, and gets the same answer he received the previous day, making him wait until night.

"What's the matter exactly? did I make a mistake?" ariel muttered looking up at the sky with a tired face. It kept repeating itself for five days in a row, but Ariel kept thinking that maybe Joel was busy.

However, when he came again at noon the next day, Ariel was surprised by the scenery in front of him. A sight that burned his heart.

Inside Joel's house, with the door half open, Ariel finds Joel kissing Christina. And even more surprising to him, Joel was just wearing a towel that he wrapped around his body.
