The Scientist 3
Ohno that he knows is Ohno that rarely speak. But it was silence that brings comfort to Jun.
It seems doesn’t exist anymore.
They realized they start to rarely talk with each other. There are blank spaces everywhere and they can’t figure out what’s wrong. Matsumoto realize they are gradually losing momentum and experienced huge emotional downfall. Astronaut can die if NASA experienced communication problem and he; he don’t want to lose Satoshi.
However, for the first time he feels he can’t do anything about it.
“Satoshi. “
“Un?”
“I will fly to Seoul this Monday - convention, presentation, … ”
“Okay. I will sleep at lab… or Nino’s’
There is elephant in the room, gawking at them.
It hurts. Jun has no grudge towards Ohno’s childhood friend, Ninomiya Kazunari. But for the first time, he felt Nino has taken half of his belonging.
*******************************************************************
Matsumoto Jun become the ace of the “old building clan” when he bagged the major awards for most promising research and gradually receive attention from the main building residents. Rumors spread that he maybe will be transferred to the main building and able to join the elite team.
“ I can’t do this. Anymore”
Ohno almost choked his food . “But why Jun? What happen?!” He asked.
“Us. Us being strange to each other. You know how badly our relationship.” Jun snapped. He hates seeing Ohno become so pretentious and act like everything okay. He doesn’t want to be part of this game anymore.
“But…”
“What”
“Both of us are okay Jun. We just being, busy.” Ohno replied, eyebrows furrowed together confused with the current situation.
“No we are not. We don’t that complement anymore Ohno. Your priority is no longer me.”
“Look, I thought you suppose to know how stress it is to work inside lab? Those accumulated frustration. I … I am in that phase now. ” Ohno stuttered back.
“Your wavelength is no longer similar to me… so I don’t know.” Jun retorted back, cold. “Let’s break up, Ohno… I’m… Going”
Seeing Jun walks away from his life was the last scene that ever Ohno want to see. Without realize, he broke into tears.
7 AM
“Ohchan just accidentally spills the content of twelve molar (12 M) hydrochloric acid inside fume hood. Thanks God he is okay! - Nino”
“Whatever happens between both you, I hope you guys will sort it out fast. -Nino”
“Matsumoto Jun. Please - Nino”
Jun cried to his sleep. It was the worst Sunday ever.
