Ryan’s POVChaylen and I arrived at the StarB*cks, where I will meet the man who picked up my card holder.“Where is he?” I mumbled while looking around the place.The man said that he’s wearing a black suit. There aren’t that many who’s wearing a suit inside the shop, but still, it is hard to find him in one go.“Did he tell you what he looks like?” Chaylen asked me.“He said that he’s wearing a black suit.”“That’s all? Man. Is he the only one who can wear a black suit today?” I shrugged my shoulders and continued looking around. I noticed that many females here were staring at the guy next to me.Well, I have to admit that Chaylen is dangerously sexy and handsome. He has the aura of being a ‘P*nty ripper’, which would not go with my style.But I felt proud standing next to a famous guy like him.While smiling evilly, my eyes caught a middle-aged man waving at me.‘Maybe he is the one I’ve been looking for!’ “I think that is him!” I gasped before I waved at the man. I walked to
Emily saw her best friend sitting on the bench underneath the shade. She walked closer to her and greeted, “Hey dude! Wazzup! It’s been a long time!”Ryan looked back at Emily with a face that says: ‘I didn’t know you existed.’“I was so busy with my study that’s why I couldn’t meet you, my dear friend,” Emily said as she sat next to Ryan and wrapped her arm around Ryan’s shoulder.“Don’t give me a damn, Emily. I know you are busy looking for part-time jobs.”“Aren’t I amazing? I am a working student! You should be proud.” “As if. You only need money to buy a concert ticket for your idols.”“Don’t judge a K-pop fan like me. Seeing my Oppa# is the source of my life. If you take that out of my f*cking life, I’ll be as good as dead.”(#Korean word for older brother/lover)Ryan only shook her head while laughing.“Anyway, did you see each other already?” Emily diverted the topic.But Ryan could not follow. “What? Who?”Ryan’s expression told Emily that she knew nothing about Terban.[“
Ryan’s POVI was in such a hurry that I entered the wrong room.Yes. I accidentally invaded my enemy’s territory.‘I’m gonna die if Mr. Negative sees me.’However, all plans to escape were futile. It is because I saw the owner of this room lying on his bed while looking at me with his rounded eyes.‘He caught me. Damn it!’“I c-can explain!” I spoke. “I didn’t mean to come here! I…”[“Terban? Are you there? Yohoo~”]My eyes went to the phone on the study table. It seems like he was talking to someone through the phone in speaker mode.But that’s not the deal.It was the name that I heard which put me on halt.‘Terban?’[“Terban! Dude!”]I heard it right. The other person from the other line called Mr. Negative as “Terban.”He sat up without breaking his gaze at me. He grabbed his phone and ended the call. Staring at him reminded me of all the reasons why I decided to enroll in this university and why I endured living with men under the same roof. It was to find my old friend named
It’s been days since Ryan met her parents in the coffee shop. She hadn’t told them the truth yet, fearing that they might ask her to get out of the house.Even so, Ryan knew that she must tell them everything.“They will get mad if they find out about this from other people,” Ryan murmured as she walked inside the comfort room of the campus.She looked at her reflection in the mirror and spoke to herself.“I feel guilty for lying.”He put her folder down and rummaged inside her bag. Her favorite pen fell and rolled inside the cubicle. Ryan carried her bag and folders while walking inside the cubicle to pick up her pen.As soon as she stepped inside, she heard a group of girls talking to each other inside the comfort room. “Have you ever heard about Ryan Mcguffin?”Ryan was surprised to hear her name from someone she doesn’t know. She pointed to herself, thinking, ‘Are they talking about me?’ And so, she stayed inside the cubicle and listened.“Yes. That is the girl who lives togethe
Ryan was planning to wash her dirty clothes today. But the washing machine is broken.It’s been two hours since she started hand-washing her clothes in the backyard of the boarding house. But now, she is still not finished. She could just go to the laundry shop. However, the shop was far away. She also didn’t like the idea of carrying her clothes on her own.‘Living alone is difficult,’ she sighed inwardly while washing the clothes.“It’s tiring.”Ryan kneaded the garment with detergent. Then, Kyle came.Kyle saw her sweating so hard as if she was in the middle of a war.‘Still, she’s cute,’ he thought.Kyle quickly shook his head and took deep breaths.It’s been half a month since he started to avoid Ryan. He thought this was the time to talk to her.“The washing machine is broken, right?” Kyle said. Ryan looked at Kyle with widened eyes. She was surprised that Kyle was talking to her now.‘Maybe, he doesn’t have a period anymore,’ Ryan thought, forgetting the fact that men don’t
Ryan’s POV When I woke up, I went to the garden to breathe some fresh air.Somehow, I couldn’t erase the things that happened to me yesterday.Vincent caught me hanging inside Slyvester’s room.“I hope he wouldn’t misunderstand it,” I said with a sigh.Wishing that everything would be okay, I looked up at the blue sky and the blackbird flying into the air.My class will start at 11 am. So, I still have a lot of time to waste.While getting the vitamin D that I need, someone from behind covered my eyes with his hands. Is something trying to make a joke at me early in the morning?I am already not in the mood!“Whoever it is, stop it. I am not in the mood to joke around,” I said.“Guess who~,” he said with a voice that does not sound familiar.Basically, the man behind me purposely changed his voice. ‘Who could it be?’ If he is Chaylen, I will kick him right away.Terban won’t do something so cheesy as this.I couldn’t imagine Vince doing this either.Then, is it Kyle?“Is that
It was shining brightly for a moment. But the sky darkened and the scent of the air changed. The rain will pour down soon. Thus, Ryan didn’t forget to bring her umbrella before going out of the house.Just like her, Kyle went out with an umbrella too.Light shower blessed the land.Pit-a-pat.Pit-a-pat.Kyle looked at Ryan from afar and remembered the first time they met each other. It was also raining that day.He took a sharp breath before Kyle called the lady.“Ryan!”However, the absent-minded lady didn’t look back.Thinking that his voice wasn’t enough for Ryan to hear, Kyle shouted again.“Ryan!”Oddly, Ryan’s head only looked at her North.“But the rain is not that heavy,” Kyle murmured. He decided to run towards her while holding his umbrella.When he reached her side, he called her, “Hey.”Finally, he caught her attention.“Oh, hi, Kyle,” Ryan responded.“What’s wrong? You are red.”Ryan only blinked her eyes.It’s not that she didn’t hear Kyle again. She was still in dilemm
“I’ll take you to the school. Hop in!” Terban said while pointing to the passenger seat. The rain stopped pouring.Ryan looked up wondering how long she’s been standing there that she didn’t notice that the rain stopped. She closed the umbrella and carefully breathed out.‘Kyle confessed to me. He did.’ The fact couldn’t process inside her head. Nevertheless, seeing a grumpy guy like Terban comforted Ryan.She didn’t expect that looking at a guy she always fights with would be this comforting.“Are you going to stay there forever?” Terban asked. “Come quick, or I will drag you in.”Even if they fixed their relationship after getting to know each other, Ryan and Terban still fought each other from time to time. It was hard for Terban to get rid of his grumpy attitude.“If someone hears you right now, he might think that you came here to kidnap me,” Ryan commented.She hopped inside his car and buckled the seatbelt.“I would love to hit you right now. Be thankful that you are Terban
