A father once said to his son.
“Your life is trash.”
Therefore, the son thought that if he was trash, then he would make sure that he is something that cannot be recycled.
“Chaylen, are we going to the hotel after this?” the woman whispered to Chaylen’s ear.
Chaylen tilted his head and stared at the woman with red lipstick. She’s sexy and captivating, but there’s one thing that makes her exception on Chaylen’s list of interests.
Smiling faintly, Chaylen leaned closer to her. Then he murmured, “I am sorry. But I don’t do it twice with the same girl.”
He gently bit her earlobe, making her moan in pleasure despite the rejection she received. As if the sensation he left overlapped with the heartbreaks. And even if he stood up and left her, her eyes only stick glue to the handsome man who knows how to woo a maiden’s fainted heart.
He is Chaylen Herris, a man whose life revolves around going to nightclubs and bringing women into the hotel every night. There is no ‘serious relationship’ in his vocabulary, as he sees dating as enjoyment rather than commitment. Once he bedded a woman, she is already out of his life. He never enjoys the second s*x.
Thinking that he only has a few days left before his college life will start, Chaylen thought of doubling his own entertainment. He went to a noisy bar tonight and looked for a new girl he can bring to the hotel.
‘My type for today is someone who looks innocent outside but will turn wild in bed,’ he chanted his ideal type FOR TODAY. Tentatively, his ideal type changes depending on his mood. With that, it’s not wrong to say that his in a great mood today because he wanted to take the risk of flirting with a ‘hard-to-get lad.’
Usually, he wanted a fox; someone who would undress in front of him without him saying. Oddly, he wants to challenge himself tonight.
‘I wanted to try a nerdy woman who pretends she’s shy while unzipping her..,’
His lewd thought halted as soon as his eyes caught a certain girl from afar. He observed her, who was sitting in front of the counter. She was covering her ears while having a conversation on phone. Based on her face, Chaylen believed that he found the woman he was looking for.
Grinning, Chaylen approached the counter and sat on the next seat.
“One tequila please,” he ordered the bartender before sneaking glances at the lady.
“Emily, are you out of your mind? I can’t work at this place!” the lady shouted to the person she was talking to on the other line.
At the same time, Chaylen’s order was served. He gave his card to pay for his drink and then continued listening to the woman.
“Where are you? Let’s see each other right now! You’re really dead!” After shouting like a mad whale, she shoved her phone into her pocket.
The bartender gave the card back. Chaylen took a sip of his tequila, wetting his lips before he detached them. He was so ready to drop some pickup line to catch the lady’s attention. However, his words were interrupted by another woman who just came inside the bar.
‘Sh*t. How did she find me?’ Chaylen complained upon seeing the obsessive woman whom he flirted with a long time ago.
“Damn it,” Chaylen murmured before he placed his glass on the table. He wiped his lips, stood up, and pulled the girl, who was sitting beside him, to the dance floor.
“H-Hey!” the girl protested, quite perplexed, about why she was pulled out suddenly. As much as she wanted to escape from his grip, Chaylen was determined to use her as a shield.
He pulled her closer so that there was no more space between their bodies.
“Shh,” he hushed. Later, he set his eyes toward the shaking pupils of the woman. “I know you’re confused, miss. But can you help me? Please? Let us stay like this for a moment.”
A moment of silence swept between them amidst the noise around that seemed to mute down as soon as their eyes met.
Chaylen was so sure that he could use his handsomeness to this lady, the way he did to others. It is too common for him to easily sway the women around. Therefore, the lady’s response to him was like a bucket of ice poured onto his head.
“What a bastard,” the woman replied. She glared at him, making him flinch. “Let me go. Or else, I’ll kick your d*ck.”
Slightly frightened at her warning, Chaylen was about to follow her request and say better luck next time. However, his stalker was still around so he had no choice but to stick with her again.
‘If my charm won’t work, then I need to use another method,’ he thought.
“Ahhhhh,” Chaylen winced then clenched his chest. “A-Actually m-miss, I have a heart disease,” he acted. He peeked at her to see if she was buying the lie. Fortunately, she did.
“Omg!” she gasped. “Are you okay? Do you want me to call the emergency hotline?”
“N-No,” Chaylen continued. “I have medicine in my car. But it will be hard for me to walk alone. Can you accompany me out and into the parking area?”
The girl let her guard down for a moment and accompanied Chaylen on the way out; which means he succeeded in using her as his shield to escape from his stalker.
Finally, they arrived outside where it was less noisy.
“So how is it? Can you endure the pain? If you really can’t, I will ask for help,” the worried lady said to Chaylen, still holding his arm.
As if nothing happened, Chaylen removed his arm from her grip and stood straight. “I am fine now, miss. Weirdly as soon as we got out, the tightening in my chest faded. Thank you so much.”
He winked at her and stepped away.
Chaylen really wanted to make a move with this cute girl. But since she seemed different from the women who only act innocent outside, but actually b*cth inside. In addition to that, she looks very kind.
‘Anyway, I can still find another one to play with…’ Chaylen did not finish his thoughts because the lady spoke again.
“Wait a minute!”
The little lamb blocked his way. That’s when Chaylen appreciated her face even more. She has small eyes and fluffy cheeks which resemble the clouds he saw this morning. Her skin is so pale, so soft as if she never experienced hardship in life. In Chaylen’s eyes, she is more on the cute side rather than the pretty side.
But what attracted him the most is her nice body, big boobs, slim waist, and nice ass. Yet, he did not expect her to be this clingy.
‘Was I wrong when I said that she’s different from others?’
“If ever you cannot breathe again,” she started. Then she got something inside her bag.
Chaylen could not help but blink his eyes swiftly at the appearance of the plastic bag in her hand.
“You can inhale using this. I only saw that technique in movies. So, I am not that sure if it is effective. Anyway, you can try, just in case.”
She forcefully put the plastic bag in his hand. Then she left him staring at her back with clueless eyes.
Chaylen eyes went to the plastic bag he was holding.
“What the…” he chuckled huskily.
For Chaylen, the lady is nothing but an idiot who caught his interest for a very short time. And at the time he almost forgets her, she suddenly appeared in his life again.
‘If she will be living with me in the same house, then my trashy life would be more fun.’
Ryan’s POVAs I stood up near the entrance of the boarding house, I recalled the days before coming here:D-5 before the class starts…My morning was great. I slept enough, had a delicious breakfast, and enjoyed watching the clear blue sky. I was in a good mood.Even if I was lucky yesterday to find a good part-time job, I stayed positive and was willing to take another try today.“Woah. “That car looks very expensive,” I gaped while looking at the white car that was parked beside the ‘No Parking’ sign.I could not help but laugh as I shook my head. Then…Bam!“Ahhh!”“Ohhh.”I bumped into someone because I kept on looking at the car. ‘What an idiot~’Even without lifting my head to see the man I bumped into, I dropped my apology in haste.“I am sorry!”Next, set my eyes upward. As if the halo behind him was too blinding, I had to cover my eyes from the sunlight before my sigh adjusted. Then, I saw his face.‘Woah. I bumped into someone who is more worth looking at than the pretty car
Ryan’s POVMy new room is… a princess-like room. It’s big and I also have my own bathroom.“I won’t doubt why the tuition fee is so big,” I whispered while shaking my head.Before I enrolled at Champese University, I was aware of the rules that only students who will agree to stay at the school’s given boarding house will enter the university. For that, I felt guilty for using my parent’s money for my own.‘It seems I need to study harder.’But before worrying about my studies, I had to take note first and foremost about the five men with whom I will live together under the same roof.Knock, knock~Someone is knocking. I could feel my knees slightly tremor as I set my eyes on the door. Staring at it, the images of the five men I met a moment ago flashed back inside my head.First, the man holding the guitar. Second, the man reading a book. Third, the bastard I met in the bar. Fourth, the guy who saved me from the fountain. And last, the jerk who freaked out over a dot of ice cream on
“Hey you,” I rudely called.His rigid eyes turned round for a second then went back to their original shape. Nonetheless, I did not care about his nonchalant reaction, or the coldness his next gaze sent me.I lifted my chin arrogantly then opened my damn mouth.“As far as I can remember, we both paid the same price for this boarding house. And FYI, I didn’t mean to look inside your room. The door was opened, that’s why.”One of his brows went upward, making his eyes look smaller than the other. Then, a mocking sneer slipped onto his lips.“I only agreed to live here under the condition that there will be no woman inside the place,” he said, using his baritone voice that is as deep as the ocean. “Having you around is making me angry. So to help me, can you please just get lost? Next time, don’t ever stop in front of my room. Don’t look at me, don’t talk to me, and don’t even touch my room’s door. You can understand English, right?”He pulled out the smile, followed by slamming the door
A handsome tall man with a slim body, light brown hair, eyes as sharp as a fox, and a small face, toured himself around the university. He is a turn header, and anyone who sees him walks elegantly with his hands inside his pocket would fall for his charm.The man, tired of receiving intense gazes from people around, found a peaceful place where he can be alone.A little later, someone approached him.“Terban!”Terban Myers, that’s his name. He is the young CEO of Myers Corporation, a high-end cellphone brand that was known to people around the world. Not only he’s good-looking but he is also a promising businessman at his youthful age.“What are you doing here? Your class will start tomorrow,” the man, Bryan, who was called Terban, said. He is Terban’s cousin on his mother’s side. Bryan is also a professor at Champese University.He tapped Terban’s shoulder then added, “Are you excited to study here?”Terban glanced at the hand on his shoulder. A frown appeared between his brows.“Did
Ryan’s POVAfter eating the oh-so-good spaghetti cooked by Kyle, the boys decided to play cards.They are going to play Pusoy dos, so I declined to join that game. As far as I know, the game rules indicate that only four players are eligible to play. One more thing, Kyle already did the cooking so cleaning the plates should be my turn.“Ryan.”I looked around to see Slyvester who came into the kitchen.“You can do the plates next time. Come on and join us. Let’s play.”I shook my head without hesitation. Fortunately, there are friendly people among the five. However, I am not comfortable hanging out with Chaylen.‘Just how much I tolerated sitting beside him while eating the pasta! I don’t want to be in the awkward position again.’“No thanks,” I decline. “You only need four players to play Pusoy dos, right?”“We aren’t going to play pusoy dos,” he answered. Suddenly, Slyvester grabbed my hand.‘Oh! What are you…!’ I, who ain’t use of this skinship, felt the rising heat of my cheeks.
In Kyle’s early ’20s, he experienced a lot of heartbreaks. All the girls he dated had the same reason for dumping him.‘It’s because you are too kind.’When Kyle dated Sharmaine, he thought he finally found a woman whom he will spend all his days with. But just like in his past relationship, she dumped him most miserably.Kyle knelt, even begged not to leave him alone. Yet Sharmaine left him alone in the rain.‘Ahh. Maybe I am not really a person who deserves love,’ Kyle thought.The rain poured down. He stayed in his position, kneeling. He was so embarrassed that he did not have any strength left to stand and flee. Until someone approached and shed him shelter under an umbrella.Kyle lifted his head to see who this good Samaritan was. Her eyes are small, and her cheeks are fluffy, making her look innocent.“I am giving free umbrella,” she said. “Go and get this.” After handling the umbrella in his hand, the woman turned her back and left.Vincent and Slyvester told Kyle that he has
The sweet smell of the perfume spread around the open area. After Ryan sprayed her perfumes right at Terban’s face, she nonchalantly walked out.“H-Hey! Hey! Come back here!” Terban shouted. Veins protruded on his neck, like angry snakes.However, the person who drove him into the pit of madness did not dare turn her head back.“So this is how you play, huh,” Terban murmured as he wiped his face. “At your service.”He stepped his feet on the gas. The car moved faster.Broom!Kyle and Slyvester, who witnessed the murderous aura of Terban, feared that the evil man thought of hitting the lady through his car. Their hearts almost jumped. Fortunately, Terban isn’t a monster to kill a person. He just pressed the horn as soon as he passed by.Hoooooink!“Oh my god!” Ryan jumped up in surprise. Watching the back of the car, she threw punches in the air and shouted, “You bastard!”When the thrilling encounter subsided, Kyle and Slyvester followed the lady.“Ryan. Your patience is short,” Kyle
Ryan caught Vincent’s attention the first time met.They were in the cafe when Vincent saw Ryan sitting in afar while listening to his song. While he performed, he was surprised to see her cry and wipe her tears. He, then, misunderstood that his song played a big role in her tears.Therefore, Vincent could not forget her since then. He was trying so hard to guess the reason behind the weird woman’s cry. Vincent that his song probably touched her heart.Anyway, he is not attracted to her romantically. Just curious.Vincent went to the rooftop of the boarding house with his guitar. He was the first one who came home, and he decided to chill out at that place. While he was there, he saw Ryan and Chaylen together.Vincent blinked. He did not know what they were saying, nor see the expressions on their faces. However, they seemed serious and all stuff, so he watched curiously.Moments later, Chaylen was seen walking away while Ryan stood at her place, sighing. After standing like a whimper
“I declare you husband and wife!” The officiant pronounced Slyvester and Ryan as husband and wife, prompting a round of enthusiastic applause from the wedding guests. However, Slyvester's gaze remained fixed on his stunning bride, oblivious to the commotion. At that moment, Slyvester desired a lifetime of happiness with Ryan and possibly starting a family with her. While it is often said that men shed tears of joy during such occasions, Slyvester was too overjoyed to cry. Perhaps Ryan's parents cried enough for both of them, especially since Slyvester had once posed as a woman to deceive them. Nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Mcguffin had forgiven him and moved on from the past. "So, we're a married couple now," Ryan said excitedly. “Hmmm, we are,” Slyvester mumbled. He cupped her cheeks and leaned his forehead on hers. "Kiss her! Kiss her!” The wedding guests scream. This won't be their first kiss. Before and while they were dating, Slyvester had already kissed his girlfriend a l
Ryan was an aspiring author who dreamed of publishing a book to hook readers. That's why, even though the readers from online reading sites were few, she kept publishing different stories.Of course, popular books are consistently rated 18. Ryan didn't have the guts to try it, so she stuck writing innocent comedy and romance genres. However, she wasn't lucky enough to get her break. Sitting in front of the laptop, Ryan read one of the comments from her book."The author narrates well, but the plot is too cliche. Then the event is not realistic either."Ryan felt sad while reading the comments. She took a deep breath and leaned her back against the office chair. She wiped her eyes under her rounded glasses. She looked again at the comments, where only a few had positive feedback."Maybe writing is not my line," said the woman who had just passed the boarding exam.Even though she took an engineering course in college, she didn't want to let go of her dream of becoming a writer and be
Eight years later... "What are you doing here? It would be best if you went home so I can close the restaurant," Chef Slyvester rudely tried to ask friends to leave.The four looked at him one by one:Kyle was a successful architect who managed his family’s architectural firm—Chaylen, who had the most significant shares in his Father’s corporation. Vincent, who declined to own his parent’s business, became a famous singer instead. And Terban, the heir of the Myers Group.It's been a few years since their college graduation, and they've all gone their separate ways. Despite time passing, they still hang out regularly. Terban and Vince's quarrels have lessened, and Chaylen's relationship with his father has improved. Additionally, Kyle has avoided heartbreaks.“I am looking forward to the dessert,” Chaylen expressed his excitement about the dessert that Slyvester will be making.Slyvester removed his black apron and set down his knife. He had already cooked for them without charge, an
With Ran's assistance and quick driving, Slyvester arrived at the boarding house. However, despite this, his heart continued to pound with fear. He dreaded returning home without the woman he adored.Slyvester entered the house, struggling to catch his breath and with his heart racing. As he walked in, he spotted Ryan descending the stairs with a large suitcase.Slyvester's heart shattered upon realizing that Terban’s words were valid - the woman he loved was leaving without a word to him. He couldn't fathom how Ryan could simply depart without speaking to them. He couldn't help but imagine how worse it would have been if Terban hadn't informed him.Although seething with anger, Slyvester knew he could never stay mad at the woman he loved.Ryan was surprised and taken aback by Sylvester's sudden outburst. She was unsure how to respond as Sylvester cried, "Are you really going to leave without talking to me."Ryan had thought that Sylvester would be the first one who wanted Ryan to lea
Four men were gathered in front of a large gate. While other students were studying inside the library or in their rooms, Kyle, Chaylen, Vincent, and Terban waited outside Slyvester's house."Woah. Slyvester’s house is big,” Chaylen expressed, surprised at the grandeur house in front of them. “He acts like a beggar in the boarding house; I did not expect that he is actually rich,” he added.Terban looked at the house casually and asked, "So, how do we get in?""We're going to throw you over the gate," Vincent replied.Terban quickly retorted, “We can use the doorbell, you dumbass.”“Why ask if you knew the answer? Idiot,” Vincent said.The two looked at each other, and an invisible lightning spark formed between them."Aren't you tired of fighting?" Chaylen commented sympathetically as he watched the two men, who seemed like dogs and cats. "You fought so many times; you can list yourself to the Genius World Book of Record."Terban and Vincent both frowned. Their eyes slowly moved towa
Yhlei looked outside the car window and recalled what happened last night.Last night, Slyvester came home drunk. His face was red, and he could not look straight. The drunken man, who almost stumbled, greeted his mother with a smile.“Hello, Mom. Where’s Dad?” Right at that time, his dad walked down the stairway. Far away, he could already smell the pungent smell of the alcohol. "You're drunk? You came home late at night and drunk?" Yhlei's face was full of disappointment. The first thing that came to his mind was his son's reputation. Slyvester can be the new successor of Ixumi Corporation. But he walked down the road swaying and unstable? What if he did some embarrassing things on the way home?"Dad," Slyvester called him. Suddenly, Slyvester knelt in front of his father. His dad, his mom, and Ran, who was unexpectedly present at that time, had their eyes wide open. "I did everything you wanted," said the Slyvester. "What to wear, what to behave, the people I should be frie
Kyle, Chaylen, and Emily exchanged perplexed glances as they beheld Sylvester, who was standing motionless in front of the cabinet. Their view was obstructed, so they couldn't discern what had seized his attention. Meanwhile, within the cabinet, Terban and Ryan were frozen in silence, incapable of uttering a word, moving a muscle, or even drawing breath. They knew full well that this would only lead to further misunderstandings.And then…“F*ck it!” Sylvester let out a string of expletives before wrenching open the cabinet once more and yanking Ryan's wrist out forcefully.“Ahh!” Ryan winced in agony from the sudden movement, realizing that Sylvester was livid.Terban observed Sylvester's tight grip on Ryan's hand and understood why he was so incensed. He knew that he would feel the same way if he were in Sylvester's shoes. However, he couldn't help but feel vexed as he watched Sylvester haul Ryan away. "S- Slyvester," Ryan called him while wincing. Only then did the three underst
A day ago, before the farewell party…After Slyvester had a heated argument with his father, he went somewhere to calm himself down. Slyvester wanted to call Ryan, knowing he would seek comfort with her. However, he received a text from his cousin, asking him if he would attend their gathering, and that was only when Slyvester recalled that he planned with his relatives that day. His cousins were asking about Slyvester’s girlfriend enthusiastically, as if finding fault they could use against Slyvester. Fully aware of this ill intention, Slyvester meets them and warns them not to touch Ryan. Slyvester knew his cousins would never waste a chance to defeat him for Ixumi's inheritance.‘After I settled everything, I’ll return to the boarding house as a happy Slyvester,’ he promised himself.Slyvester grew up sociable because he missed the happy company of the first people around. He was, of course, loved by his father and mother. But the case is different when it comes to relatives. He
Third Person's POVAfter taking a break to eat and rest, Chaylen suggested playing a game. Initially, Terban and Vincent were hesitant, feeling too old to play games. However, they eventually joined in, becoming quite competitive and not wanting to lose.Chaylen had created a unique game just to spend more time with Ryan - hide and seek.“Hide and seek? Are you sane? We are too old for that,” Terban expressed his disbelief.But Chaylen explained, “Why not? The boarding house was big enough for the game to work well.”Aside from that, Chaylen believed that game would allow him to take Ryan to a quiet spot and talk to her in private. It was a selfish wish from a heartbroken guy who wanted to spend a lovely time with his first love.“Childish game suits you so much, Chaylen,” Vincent complained, but still, he was willing to participate.“There are seven of us,” Emily said, ignoring Vincent and Terban’s complaints. “We should group ourselves into two! Whoever doesn’t have a partner will
