Chapter 259- Argument And Thoughts (Part 2)

The boat continued moving through the vast ocean at top speed. Kai and Chal were the only ones that were talking.

As for Aria and Kaya, they were sitting near the edge of the boat, watching the moving scenery in silence. Neither wanted to talk since they weren't in the mood for it. However, Aria was still concerned about Kaya since she seemed really upset over her argument with Kai.

She knew that Kaya was blaming herself for it. But, in all honesty, Aria didn't find Kaya's reasons to be odd or overprotective even if they were sure that Kai was going to be fine. After all, Kai was still sick and his symptoms are getting more and more intense and frequent even when he wasn't doing anything particularly taxing.

So, what could've happened inside that place could've been dangerous. 'Should I tell her to simply talk to him later when he calms down? This was a small misunderstanding.' She thought to herself as she with her sword silently. However, she also didn't want to risk making the situation even worse. Kaya was mature and smart so she should be able to fix it sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Kai and Chal talked about different topics. One of them was about the argument that happened between Kai and Kaya.

"So you disagreed with that woman over there?" She asked with a surprised look.

"Yes." Silence took over for a while before Chal started laughing softly. She seemed amused by it for some reason.

"Who knew the great Black Phantom would actually be troubled by something like this. Oh, well, so you want some advice?" She asked.

"An optimal way of fixing this disagreement if possible." Kai replied as he rested his hand on the boat's handrail.

"Hmm, I guess you came to the right person then. So, what did you disagree about?" She asked curiously.

"I can't dive into details but its about putting my life at risk." He said. "She's worried about me and I don't see the point of stopping myself from doing certain very important things even if it was risky."

"I see…" Chal puffed a cloud of smoke before she continued. "That doesn't sound too bad for a first disagreement between you two."

"How did you know that it was a first?" Kai raised an eyebrow confusedly.

"Of course I know, who do you think I am?" She asked with a smile. "You two look like you're completely new to couple arguments."

"It's not…"

"I know what you're going to say, it's not actually a couple argument. But, I can see that you two aren't merely friends now, are you?" Chal grinned playfully.

In reality, Kai couldn't disagree with Chal since their relationship was by no means that of friends. It had already exceeded that phase long ago so saying that they were merely friends would be lying. If it was a few months ago, Kai would've probably been even more confused then now but he was starting to figure out his feelings. A clear progress from before.

"Yes."

"Bingo. It's good that you're honest." Chal tapped Kai's shoulder before looked ahead again. "Listen, Kai. Having a disagreement with someone you cherish isn't rare. If anything, that's the norm. You can't expect to share the same views on everything with that person so disputes are bound to happen just like now. However, that doesn't mean that you did something wrong or that she did something wrong. Both of you have their own opinions."

"I know that."

"You certainly do. But, you don't know how to handle it when it happens. And the key to fixing that problem lies in one word."

"One word?"

"Yes, one single word. And that word is 'Compromise'. To live a happy life with your loved ones, you need to sacrifice certain things and compromise on certain other things. Not you, she also needs to compromise when necessary. You two need to reach a middle point where you both can agree. That's how you fix disagreements."

Chal's words resonated with Kai and made him nod his head.

'Compromise, huh?' He thought to himself. 'That sounds logical.'

"And how do I compromise in this case?"

"Simple, you have to understand her worries and a.s.sure her that you won't put your life at risk too much. I'm sure that will make her understand that you aren't going to simply throw your life away doing something dangerous."

"I see…" Kai replied with a sigh as he looked at Kaya before he took a deep breath and approached her. Aria was the first to notice Kai. She instinctively thought that he was there to argue more, but when she saw his calm expression, she realized that his mood wasn't as bad as before.

"Can you give us a moment?" He asked Aria.

"... Sure." She said as she stood up and walked away from them.

So, Kai sat in her place and looked at the timid Kaya who didn't seem to have the urge to speak. However, she also didn't look away from him when he sat down. So, Kai decided to speak first.

"I lost my temper there, my bad." He said in a calm, gentle tone.

Kaya blinked in surprise before she shook her head. "No, no, I was the one who overreacted, I'm sorry."

"We both didn't react correctly. I don't blame you for it. I know that you want the best for me and for that I'm grateful." Kai turned his head to the sea for a moment.

"I wouldn't to see you harmed or even worse… That would be my nightmare." She replied with a frown.

Kaya was seriously afraid of losing Kai. She knew that the closer they get from their goal, the more dangerous it becomes. She didn't want to think about it, but it was the truth. From what she heard, Kai's father wasn't someone to be taken lightly. He was after all, Kai's father so he was definitely an extremely powerful man.

Perhaps Kai would end up fighting his father to death and that was what scared her especially with Kai's condition. He was at risk of facing death because of those symptoms. In a fight where a small mistake could spill the end, he needed to do everything to outmost perfection.

"I know, that feeling goes both ways for us." Kai replied. "I don't want to see you get harmed. That's one of the reasons why I'm doing all of this. Everything seems vague and dangerous, we don't even know where things are going so we have to take some risks if we want to be ready for anything that happens."

"Yes… Alson, um, it makes me happy that you cherish me that much."

Kaya's heart beat fast when she heard those words as they were a first for her. Kai was telling her how much he loved he, how can she not feel on cloud nine because of it?

However, because they were talking about a serious topic, she hid those emotions for now.

"But, I also know that I must preserve my life if I truly wanted to protect you and Eva. Throwing it away is foolish. So, I can't promise that I will always do things safely, but I can promise that I will do my best not to die. For me, for you and for Eva." For a split second, Kai's eyes went to the blind girl standing far away from them but he quickly turned to look at Kaya again.

"Mm, and I also promise that I will help you and protect you just like how you protect me."

"Sounds fair." He replied.

"Mm, can I hug you then?" Kaya asked timidly.

"Suit yourself."

"Thanks!"

Immediately, Kaya jumped on Kai, pressing her body against his as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Feeling her soft mounds against his chest, Kai would be lying if he said that it didn't feel nice but he didn't show any reaction.

The two sat like that for a while in silence. Meanwhile, Aria was smiling softly when she felt them hug. She was truly glad that they made out. Although she was confused as to why she wasn't feeling as jealous as she thought she would feel.

'I have no right to feel jealous.' She thought to herself.

As she was like that, Chal approached her with a smile. "We never met before, little lady. My name is Chal, by the way."

"Aria, nice to meet you." Aria replied with a simple bow.

"So, how did you get to know that rascal over there? I'm sure he was never a playboy yet he sure gets female attention with ease." Chal joked lightly.

However, she didn't notice the split second of conflict in Aria's expression before it disappeared.

"We're… old acquaintances."

"That boy sure has many old acquaintances, doesn't he? I'm now curious to know if he knows more people than I do." Chal then approached Aria and said in a whisper.

"So, how much do you like that guy?"
