MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
161. LION'S HAT

"Animal garden?" Lion stared in surprise at Liam as the two of them got off the taxi they were riding in. "Why do you want to come here? You're weird."

"I want to wake up a sleeping lion." Excited Liam while embracing Lion. "I will show you how I am as a charmer of the king of the forest."

"Stop bragging!!" Ketus Lion removed Liam's arm from his shoulder.

There was nothing Lion could do to his older cousin. He simply walked up to the blond young man while watching the animal cages along the way.

Liam who was walking in front of him was looking wildly around, like he was looking for something. Lion seemed to feel something strange.

"Who are you looking for?" Ask Lion.

Liam stopped his steps and looked somewhere. Then walk a little quickly to a place that sells a variety of hats. Lion just walked leisurely following him.

"This hat is perfect for you, El." Liam dressed Lion in a lion-shaped hat. "It's very hot here, we have to wear hats. Which one is right for me?" Liam stared at the rows of hats on display.

Lion refused to respond and let the hat Liam wore stay on his head. The weather is hot right now, so they should be wearing hats.

"It doesn't work, El?" Look at Liam very close to the Lion's face with a crocodile-shaped hat.

Lion chuckled at Liam with his hat.

"You are a crocodile." Lion Eject.

"F*ck off!!" Upset Liam turned her head the other way and saw something.

At the same time Lion got a message from his friend. His focus was immediately on the cellphone but the young man stepped up to follow Liam who immediately walked back.

"You guys are here too?" Liam exclaimed at a young man and a girl standing in front of the lion's den. "It's a total coincidence." Added Liam.

Lion raised his head to see who Liam was talking to. He gasped in shock when he saw Melody with Niko being there. Both men looked at him as well.

Their existence in this place made Lion realize that all this was Liam's plan. On purpose, his cousin wanted to go to the zoo with a goal that he could now guess.

Lion also realized that Liam had indeed opened his cellphone and checked the map application to find out the whereabouts of Melody. In the heart of Lion can only hold his regret because he did not think about it before, and only consider it natural for the strange Liam when he wanted to go to the zoo.

Lion could feel an uneasy gaze from Niko at this moment. While Melody looked at her with a look of wonder because everything happened by chance for her.

"El, it's a lion!!" Liam shouted towards the sleeping lion. "God turns out it's true they only fall asleep when everyone notices them. Do I have to go there to wake her up?"

Liam stopped his chatter and looked at the three people who were silent. It is getting cold at the moment.

"What's going on, guys? Something f* wrong with you all?" Liam embraces Niko. "Are you two dating?" Liam leaned his body still embracing Niko to look at Melody.

"Liam, I'm thirsty, I'll find a drink seller first." Lion turned his body and walked.

"Niko, I will also look for drinks, I will buy them for you too." Excited Melody.

Niko could not say anything as Melody had already directly walked over to the Lion who was away from her place.

Liam glanced at Niko, and he knew that the young man was currently feeling very jealous because Melody had gone to approach Lion.

"Nikoooooo... Why is your face like that?" Liam was still embracing Niko's neck. "Ck! Seeing them does it make you jealous? Yeah, must be very jealous. And so did my little sister."

Liam instantly removed his hand from Niko's neck but did not fade his smile in the slightest.

"Wherever you look, they both love each other, don't you think?" Ask Liam to Niko. "It's a pity you have to get in between them."

Niko refused to respond to Liam's words. Whatever the young man said about Lion and Melody, to Niko it was not important. He did not want to think no-no especially to have to stop all his plans who wanted to marry Melody. The stick is round, even though it must lose Lion though.

"What is your purpose?" Niko turned to Liam who was watching the lion's den.

"Wake up a sleeping lion." Answer Liam. "WOO... AWAKE UP!!" Liam cried out to the lions sleeping in his cage.

Lion was surprised when Melody approached him, but the young man did not say anything and just kept quiet. Even though he kept glancing towards the girl.

"What's wrong?" Melody asked who knew Lion glanced at her. "Say what you want to say."

"Nothing." Lion answered faster and faster to move his legs until Melody was left behind.

The two of them arrived in front of the drink seller, Lion immediately took out one bottle of cold mineral water and immediately drank it. Likewise with Melody, the girl tried to unscrew the bottle of mineral water she had taken but somehow it was very difficult for her.

Without asking Lion to take the mineral water, open it and give it back to Melody. Without saying thank you the girl accepted it.

"It's really hot today." Melody said before drinking.

Lion who was initially looking at the people who were passing by, turned his head back to Melody who was standing next to him. He only realized that the girl was not wearing a hat so her face was slightly flushed in the sun. The young man remembered that he was currently wearing a lion-shaped hat on his head.

"It's almost two in the afternoon." Melody looked at her watch.

Suddenly Lion put the lion hat he had originally worn to Melody's head. The girl was shocked to the point of looking at Lion who was standing close to her. He didn't think that Lion would give him his hat.

"You should have told Niko to buy a hat." Lion. "Your face is burning like that."

"This hat is so embarrassing to me." Complain Melody who felt a little embarrassed because the hat worn Lion shape more suitable for small children. "And again this hat also doesn't really cover my face from the sunlight."

"From not wearing a hat, at least your head does not heat up because it is exposed to direct sun." Replied Lion who looked up to feel the sun's rays were very hot. "I should have played games at home today."

"What?" The not-so-obvious look of Melody heard Lion mutter.

"A week away, huh? Finally after sixteen years we'll be apart." Lion.

Melody did not respond to Lion's words and simply stared at the young man. Although initially for the girl, her friendship with Lion has not been important, but when hearing Lion's words about those who are going to separate, Melody felt that every time they spent together was a moment what matters. It made her feel her sadness now.

"Let's go back. They must be thirsty, too." Lion cried while carrying two bottles of drinks the other one will give to Liam.

Melody immediately followed Lion as well with two bottles of drink, the other one of which she would give to Niko.

"They came too." Said Liam who saw the presence of Lion and Melody who were still at a considerable distance.

Niko looked towards the two of them. His focus immediately led to the hat Melody was wearing. Once again he felt that Lion understood more about Melody than himself by giving the hat he had originally worn to the girl.
