MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
177. PANIC MUSKETEERS

On Sunday morning, Melody opened her eyes. She rushed to the bathroom to clean up before going down for breakfast. It was past seven in the morning, but not usually if he woke up late, Mona did not wake him.

After that he walked out of his room, about to go to the dining table. The state of the house is very quiet, usually the three brothers are at the dining table chatting after they finished breakfast but currently there is no sound of anyone heard.

As he descended the stairs, the delicious aroma that since Melody came out of the room was stronger. He gasped in surprise when he saw someone dressed in all white standing at the kitchen table turning his back on his presence.

Lion was in front of the stove cooking something with an apron attached to his body. Seeing him, Melody could not understand why the young man was in her house.

"What are you doing?" Ask Melody.

Lion looked at Melody. "You awake?" Lion. "I'm cooking."

"Why are you cooking?" Melody asked again in surprise.

"To make lunch. You just woke up so you haven't had breakfast, have you? Have breakfast first. I have to finish this." Lion answered his focus was split between the cuisine and Melody.

"Where are the others? Why isn't Mona cooking? Why are you—"

"They all left, and I was asked to make lunch. It just so happened that a week ago I took a cooking course." Lion is busy.

"I mean why would you want to be told to cook? Who told you to?" Melody's voice sounded annoyed as Lion answered her wordily.

"Dad told him to." Leo exclaimed that suddenly came after coming out of his room. "That's a punishment for him. Mona's gonna be busy right now, so we're gonna take advantage of the unemployed. You're gonna be on vacation for almost a month, right?"

Melody just sat on the dining table chair to eat the toast that had been provided. His father sat on the couch watching television. The girl was quite relieved because it turned out that her father was at home as well and not only herself alone with Lion.

"Melon, here I make you your favorite egg roll." Lion shouted while carrying a plate containing his homemade egg roll.

Melody looked at him a little awkwardly. After yesterday the two of them were far away now Lion is back again to be himself first who was relaxed to the girl. For Melody it makes herself a little confused what to behave like to Lion because of his love for the young man.

"Why? Eat up fast." The Lion who was still standing beside Melody was like waiting for the girl to eat what she made.

Melody immediately ate Lion's egg roll.

"How's it?" Lion asked curiously.

"Not as good as Ato or Mona." Reply Melody who just ate a mouthful of rolled eggs. "Not good!"

"It turns out so. Yes it is." Excited Lion who immediately took the remaining rolled eggs that were still many and directly devoured them all.

"Why are you eating?!" Melody asked looking up at Lion in annoyance as the young man ate all the rest of his rolled eggs.

"You said it wasn't good, so I just ate it." Lion replied after swallowing everything in his mouth.

"I said it wasn't good, it didn't mean I didn't want to. You idiot!" Melody was agitated to the point of subconsciously hitting Lion while the young man standing next to her laughed.

Suddenly Lion's phone rang, the young man reached into his white pants pocket to answer the phone call.

Melody bent her face knowing for sure that one of Lion's friends called and after this surely the young man would go to see his friend.

After receiving the phone, Lion removed the apron on his body and washed his hands. Melody felt like it was right that she would leave after this. To be honest the girl didn't want Lion to leave and still wanted to be with him yet she couldn't possibly ask him not to leave.

"Leo, I've made vegetable capcay and fried chicken, even I've made the sauce." The Lion walked over to Melody's father who was sitting watching television. "I have to go now."

Melody let out her breath as she endured her resentment after hearing Lion's words that were about to leave. The girl hoped that her father would arrest Lion and not give him permission.

"Yes already, there." Leo replied without looking at Lion who was standing behind the sofa he was sitting on.

Hearing her father's reply, Melody threw out her breath again.

Because he felt lazy, Melody chose to move from her seat and wanted to return to the room. The girl climbed the stairs immediately.

"Melons." Call Lion up on his feet after talking to Leo. "You want to go to sleep again? You'll get fat when you eat right to sleep."

Melody said nothing. The girl simply stopped up the stairs and stood listening to the ramblings of the Lion calling out to her.

"Because tomorrow we're off, how about we go have some fun?" Lion asked with a face that looked happy. "You don't have to stay home on vacation, do you? That's very boring. Come with me for a walk, how?"

Inwardly Melody felt very happy yet the girl did not want to show it to Lion. He went back up the stairs.

"I'll get ready first." Melody said as she walked into her room.

"Better use the car, Lion." Exclaimed Leo who was still staring at the glass screen that was turning a news story.

"Yes well." Lion answered while taking the car keys in place. "You take it easy, we'll be home today. We're not staying over."

"Yes whatever. Staying is no problem either. I'm sure you won't fuck around either." Said Leo.

"I'm afraid of the opposite." Lion exclaimed with a small laugh as he walked out of the house.

Lion was waiting for Melody in the car that belonged to the girl's father. In his little heart he was happy at this moment. After the last few months his relationship with Melody is not good because of Niko's presence, so he plans to make up for it. He knew how Melody liked him and vice versa.

"Why is he so long?" Lion was impatient. "It seems like he's been very happy all along."

Not how long Melody appeared with a bag that was quite large in size. Lion directly exited the car to grab the bag with a look of astonishment.

"Why are you carrying a bag this big? What the hell are you carrying?" Ask Lion.

"Are we not going to stay?" Melody asked back. The girl immediately turned her face away because she became embarrassed after realizing that she was wrong to think that they would go on vacation until tomorrow or for several days. "You said we'd have fun." Melody muttered while getting into the car with the shame mixed with resentment to herself for not asking Lion first.

Lion just hid his little laugh while stuffing Melody's bag into the trunk of the car.

The three Musketeers came home after they went to the gymnasium. Their car arrived at the same time as Lion and Melody's car which left the house in the opposite direction.

"Isn't that Lion and Melo? Where are they going?" Athos asked in the back seat.

Aramis immediately ran down to meet their father who was still busy watching television. Both of his twin were behind him.

"Where are Melo and Lion going?" Ask Aramis in wonder.

"Vacation." Leo answered casually.

"Vacation?" This time Prothos looked astonished. "Where?"

"Where was that? I forgot Lion said where to go." Leo pretended to forget. He just didn't want to tell his three sons because he knew they were definitely going to follow where their little sister was going.

"Why did you allow it? You should have banned that boy from going with Melo!!" Athos was very upset.

"What if he messes with Melo?" Ask Prothos.

"I'll kill him immediately." Grumpy Aramis.

"You're the only one who's allowed his daughter to go out with a man." Pissed Arhos.

"It's best to hope that your sister doesn't do it first." Leo answered, standing up and walking towards his room.
