MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
030. FOR LOVE AND IT'S WORTH IT

Melody pensively thought of everything that happened today. The current situation was not very understandable to him. He was very confused, on the one hand he felt that what he did to Niko was right but on the other hand he still felt tormented by the figure of Lion who he thought today was cold to him.

Melody still loves Lion and misses him. But hearing Lion's words on the tape made him even more sad. Not a single Lion felt the same way about her.

"Do I really have to forget you?" Melody placed her head on the study table, trying to find calmness with her position. "I think it's very difficult. I miss you even though I see you every day." All of those things continued to rage in his mind, until unknowingly the girl's tears flowed out without being asked.

Melody opened her phone because she remembered the recording given Lion. He tries to listen to her again in the section when Lion and Niko say something in Russian. But for him, language is difficult. He could not hear what they were saying. Should she ask her brother Athos or not? But she thought it was embarrassing to ask him.

"Is that something I shouldn't know, so he's using that language?" Mumbled Melody.

Melody turned to the direction of Lion's room whose lights were still not on even though it was past ten in the evening.

"Why do they both like to stay up?" Melody.

...***...

Lion enters a rooftop bar, and walks to the bar table where Dion is waiting for him. Without further ado Lion sat to the right of the man.

"Lion, what do you want to drink?" Dion asked as Lion sat down.

"No need, I won't be long." Answer Lion. "What did you call me?"

"What exactly is your relationship with them? I heard you were a friend of one of them. Does that mean you betrayed me?" Dion asked unceremoniously, he was already a little drunk from drinking alcohol.

"You don't know about me, Dion. If you knew you wouldn't say that." Lion. "Aramis is my best friend. I'm also not interested in your problems with my best friend's twin. I'm just in the middle of you guys, trying to have fun enjoying what's going on."

Dion looked annoyed, he immediately pulled Lion's shirt. However, Lion casually brushed it off with a sharp look.

"Don't act stupid just because you hear a sentence or two from your opponent, as a friend I suggest that to you." Lion. "He's not your opponent, I'm honestly more supportive of him because in any case he's far superior to you who just like to have fun like a child."

"A little boy like you gives me advice?" Dion was seen mocking Lion's words with a laugh. "What can he do for you until you side with him?"

"Everything you can't do for me. You better give up, don't let your own stupid act destroy you. And.. I'm not on her side, I'm only helping if my friend asks for help, I'm doing the same to you."

"It's so confusing, a boy like you is so complicated."

"Even here you don't understand me. I am neutral to you, but when you ask for my help, I will help him according to what you ask. In other words, you and he can use me by strategizing each of you. In that case it will look who is better than you."

"Then what should I do to stop it? He looks pretty sure he can stop the marriage."

"I'm sorry, I won't give you any advice on what you're going to do." Answer Lion. "I can only say that he would actually do it to stop the marriage, even snatch your fiancee."

"Does that mean you know what he's gonna do?" Look Dion.

"I guess I can guess. He asked me to do some little things, but he didn't say everything. But I'm sorry, I won't tell you anything. You can also ask me to do something, and I won't tell her either."

"Can you make sure he doesn't come to the wedding?"

"Because he told me himself that he'd be there."

"Therefore I tell you not to act foolishly just by hearing a sentence or two from your interlocutor. Even you're scared right now." Lion laughed mockingly and irritated Dion and pulled him straight away. "Even now you're acting stupid for hearing what I said." Look at the sharp Lion.

Dion released Lion annoyed at his words.

"I'll kill him, that's for sure."

"Yes you can do it, but don't do it!!" Lion. "Even go near it you won't dare. I told you he wasn't your opponent, you lost away from him. Your only advantage is your parents' money. You know, he just thinks you're a bully fly, and I think it's still too good for you."

Lion stepped down from his chair and pulled Dion's shirt over and looked at him.

"You can ask for my help at any time." Lion then released Dion. "Without your parents' money you're nobody, and he has everything you can't get with your own hands."

With a laugh Lion walked away from Dion, and out of the bar. In the taxi, Lion called Athos.

"What you asked me to do. I've provoked him, I'm pretty sure he'll act the way you want." Lion on the phone. "The loser is so stupid, he doesn't even know what to do."

"I'm not surprised." Athos answered in his room. "Lion, I need you for something."

"What's that about the invitation? But sorry Ato, I can't do it." Lion. "I don't think you need it."

"I know that loser will ask you to make sure I'm not there, right? But take it easy, that's not what I'm gonna ask of you." Answer Athosl. "I want you to make sure of one thing when the wedding hasn't started yet."

"Alright, I think I know what you want." Lion. "But are you seriously going to do it? If it goes wrong a little bit the consequences will be fatal."

"You take it easy, I've been thinking about it."

"You're really crazy, Ato."

"No, I just do it seriously. It's not some crazy thing." Athos. "Everything can be done for love, and it's worth it."

Lion hung up after his conversation with Athos was over. He thought about the last sentence Athos said, somehow his feelings became unpleasant at this moment.

His eyes were blank looking out the window of the taxi he was riding in. He felt great admiration for Athos who desperately did all that for the sake of his love. Then why can't he do it too? With a heavy Lion threw out his breath and closed his eyes.

"Everything can be done for love, and it's worth it." The Lion muttered the words of Athos.

Suddenly the taxi braked suddenly and made Lion who sat behind with his eyes closed pushed forward until his head hit the front seat.

"What's up, sir?" Lion asked confused while enduring the pain in his head.

"I'm sorry, didn't you ask to stop?" The taxi driver asked him back.
