Chapter 1

Aiden Point of View

I posted on the bulletin board earlier saying, "Wyatt's is looking for a girlfriend. Interested people go to the gym later this break time."

I already guessed that many would go because Wyatt was famous at our school, but I still can’t help but be amazed at the number of people who went today. It looks like it will take us until night if we finish the interview at the very end of the queue.

Wyatt and I didn't eat for this anymore and I thought it would be okay but it wasn't. I'm starving, but I can't leave Wyatt here because I said I would help him.

"Are not you hungry?" He asked.

I turned to him and shook my head, "No. You?"

Of course, my answer to him was a lie. I'm really hungry.

He didn't answer me, which annoyed me. My eyebrows met because of irritation.

"Jacob!" He calls his friend.

Jacob approached, "Why, Wyatt? Do you need something?"

"Can you buy us some food? I'm already hungry," Wyatt said, he's even holding his stomach.

Jacob nodded, "Sure. Give me a girl later, huh?" He joked.

Wyatt laughed and nodded to his friend. Jacob left to buy food.

"Why did you order Jacob?" I asked, "I can just buy it."

"I don't want to," he held my hand that was on the table. "Stay here."

I removed his hand above mine, "You don't have to touch my hand."

"Why?" He turned to me.

"I-I don't know, just do an interview and I'll listen," I said.

He grinned, "Okay, don't get mad at me."

He interviewed again and that stopped when the food Jacob bought for us arrived.

"Thank you," I said to Jacob. Jacob just smiled at me before he left.

"Aren't you going to thank me? The money he used to buy your food was mine," Wyatt whispered.

"You're like a child," I uttered. When he snorted I just sighed, "Thank you, dear king Wyatt."

He smiled, "No problem."

I rolled my eyes and started to eat. We did not eat in front of the women in line because it was embarrassing. They were also told to eat first but many did not want to eat because they said someone might have stolen their line on the queue. Someone was fighting earlier in the back because someone seemed to be pushing. Then, Hans, Jacob and Yuan went to the women who were fighting and stopped them.

Because of Wyatt's 'girlfriend for hire', I just found out that even men have a crush on him. Wyatt is looking for a 'girlfriend' but there are men who come. Doesn't that mean they want Wyatt to be their boyfriend?

What would Wyatt look like if he dated a man? I couldn't help but laugh at the thought.

"Why are you laughing?" Wyatt asked.

I didn't even realize I was laughing. I thought I was just laughing in my mind but I didn't know I was laughing in real life.

I shook my head in response, "I'm not laughing."

“You’re a liar, I saw you, you know.” He said.

“I just thought of something funny,” I replied.

He moved his chair closer to me, "Don't you know that's when people start going crazy? Laughing alone."

I turned to him, and I almost died of suffocation because of the closeness of his face to mine.

"Are you okay?" He patted my back and handed me a glass filled with water. When I calmed down I immediately slapped Wyatt's arm.

"Ouch, that hurts," he moaned. "I gave you a glass of water but you still hit me? Wow."

I stared at him sharply, "Why is your face so close to mine?"

He averted his eyes as he rubbed his arm that I slapped, "It's because of your scent. What kind of perfume are you using so I could buy too?"

"I don't want to say," I said and ate again.

"You're mean," he said, which I ignored.

After lunch break we cut off the interview first and said we would just resume tomorrow. We just gave them their number so as not to be confused tomorrow.

[Next day]

The interview has started again. So, there were many more non-interviews yesterday.

I was next to Wyatt again as he interviewed the women. Jacob, Hans and Yuan were behind the two of us.

I don’t think this will end today because of the number of them. A lot of women are crazy about him. As far as I know, Wyatt had a girlfriend before but they also separated because the family of the woman took the woman to fly abroad. I just don't know if he's serious about that woman because we were quite young then.

As I thought, we did not finish interviewing all those in line again and it took us three days for them to finish. Wyatt and I are now in my condo and he is looking at the pictures of the women he interviewed.

"Who did you choose?" I asked.

He sighed, "Nothing."

I turned to him because of what I heard, "Are you kidding?"

Is this man crazy? Many women applied just to be his fake girlfriend but he didn't even choose one? Almost all the beautiful girls on our campus also lined up there. Tell me honestly, is his eye blurred or is he just a fool?

“I can't choose,” he said.

"Why? Are they all beautiful?" I asked.

He shook his head and closed his eyes, "I don't know. They are not my type."

I slapped his arm and took the papers with the picture of the women that passed in sight of Jacob and others.

“May I see?” I scanned the pictures.

After seeing the pictures of the women, I can say that my friend is really crazy. All the girls that Jacob and others chose were good looking as well as body shape. What is this man looking for, why did he say none of these girls were his type?

"See? They are all ugly, aren't they?" He said and took the papers from me.

“They’re beautiful and sexy,” I said.

He frowned, "Huh? I don't think so! Tsk. I don't like those," he said and he threw away the papers.

I stood up because of what he did and kicked his foot, "Why did you scatter those papers on the floor? This is not your house, pick up what you scattered." I ordered.

"Okay, okay, don't get mad at me," he said and did what I said.

I go to the bedroom and get a DVD. Wyatt will sleep here again, he said. I'm not sleepy yet so I'll watch first to get sleepy.

Wyatt seemed to want to live here because he often slept here. Maybe he feels comfortable with me because we've been good friends since we were kids. Maybe he just wants to join me here because he knows I'm alone and maybe he's concerned about me. But even if none of the things I thought were the reason he slept here, it was still okay with me because I can be complacent that our friendship will not be ruined.

I went back to the living room and found Wyatt lying on the couch and looking deep in thought.

I just ignored him and played the DVD I had picked up earlier in the bedroom. In the middle of watching, I almost threw the remote to the TV when I was startled by Wyatt’s sudden scream.

"AH!"

"Arg, damn you! Why are you suddenly shouting? Don't you know that I'm watching horror?" I asked, then hit him by the remote I was holding.

He laughed, "Stop it, I just thought of something."

I stopped hitting him with the remote and paused the movie, "What's that? Did you already choose someone?"

"Yes," he answered quickly.

I raised an eyebrow, "Who? Let me see."

He didn’t answer and just laughed at me. I don’t know but I was suddenly annoyed. I just ignored him and played again what I was watching before. If he doesn't want to say, then don't. Did he think I would steal the woman when he told me who? Tch.

"Aiden," he poked me but I ignored him. "Aiden," I still ignored him. "Yohoo~ Aiden Adams, are you there?" He knocked on my back as if it was a door.

Arg, this guy!

I turned to him and glared at him wickedly, "What do you need? I'm watching!"

"Aiden," he mentioned my name again and he had nothing more to say.

"Aish, don't ever talk to me again! Arg, I'm annoyed!" I got up and was about to enter my room when I suddenly felt Wyatt's hand on my wrist preventing me from entering.

"Ahh~ Is my Aiden angry?" He asked and hugged me from behind.

I was just annoyed because of what he was doing. What's in this man's brain?

"You're being weird, Wyatt. Let go," I commanded but he didn't do what I said.

My body hair stood on end when I felt Wyatt's breath on my neck. Also because he did that, it was as if electricity flowed through my whole body. I can't explain it.

"Wyatt, let go of me." I said and forcefully removed his hand that was hugging me.

"Aiden... will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me deafeningly.

"W-What did you say?" I asked.

He removed his arm that was hugging me and he turned to face me, "We're best friends. And I just thought we wouldn't be awkward to act because we've been together for so long. We already know each other."

I shook my head, "Are you sick?"

He sighed, "I'm not kidding. If you want, in return I'll pay your dad's bill that was left when he passed away."

Yeah, dad left a bill at the hospital and I don't have money to pay it. Mommy didn’t care about that because they had already separated before daddy died. Mommy is working in another country and has another family. And this is me, alone with the only friend who's always with me.

I averted my eyes, "Is what you're saying true?"

He nodded and smiled, "I'm not lying. We can make a contract."

“But your family already knows me,” I said. "They also know I'm a man."

"You're going to dress up as a woman and put on make-up," he replied.

I turned to him with a frown on my face, "Huh?! I don't want to. Why do I have to wear that and put on makeup? I don't even know how to use that thing."

“We can ask for help,” he said.

"I don't want to," I pushed him and went back to the couch.

"Ahh~ please, Aiden." He leaned over me and hugged me.

"I said, I don't want to, just find someone else," I uttered.

"I can't find someone other than you," he replied.

"There are Jacob, Hans and Yuan just choose one of them. Don't make fun of me." I replied.

He sighed, "I don't like them, I like you."

"Huh?" I turned to him, "Why me? If you want, just look again at the pictures of the women you've interviewed or you may just set an interview again, you will probably find what you are looking for there."

"I said, I don't want to. Don't force me," he replied and removed his hand that was wrapped around me.

"Don't force me either! I don't have breasts as big as women, and I'm not sexy! What is your grandfather going to tell you? You have no taste in choosing a woman," I said.

"I don't care," he replied. "Don't you like me? Are you upset because we're both men?"

"Huh?" What is he saying? That's not what I meant.

"You can tell if you're upset," he said.

"I didn't say anything like that, I just don't want to dress like a woman," I replied.

"Okay," he replied and stood up to get water.

I sighed. Damn it! I can't stand seeing him like that, why is that?

I stood up and approached him, "Fine! You just pay my dad's hospital bill!"

"Really? It's okay, you don't have to force yourself," he said while still turning his back on me.

I bit my lower lip before I decided to hug him, "Are you mad?"
