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
Chaylen was waiting outside the Campus gate while holding a red umbrella.A lady gave the umbrella to him, and she left a note for him.[“You are my type. Here is my number XXXXXXXXXX. Call me~”] The woman who gave it to him was sexy and pretty. If Chaylen is still the old Chaylen, he would call the lady right away and take her to a hotel.But Chaylen right now has no interest in other women anymore.‘It is your fault, Ryan,’ he blamed the woman he saw from afar.Saw from afar?Chaylen narrowed his eyes at the car that parked just now. Inside the car, he saw Ryan together with Terban.Chaylen rarely met Ryan before because she was busy with her thesis. As for Chaylen, his teammate promised to do his thesis for him. The reason? Because he’s handsome. Now that Ryan finished her thesis, Chaylen thought of seeing her. However, he wasn’t fine seeing her together with another man.“Why are they together? That’s an odd pair,” Chaylen said.He was about to run to Terban’s car. But the rai
There was a miracle when the five men sat around a table for breakfast.It was a very rare occasion since they are so different from each other.“After decades, we will have breakfast together. I feel so damn touched, guys,” Chaylen gave excessive praise as he hugged himself. He’s a great flirt.“Yey!” Sylvester joined Chaylen..Kyle stared at the two childish men. “There are times I feel second-hand embarrassment just by looking at the two of you. Count one today,” he commented before he massaged his aching temples.Vincent supported Kyle’s idea. “Handling just one Sylvester was a pain in the ass. What’s more when an annoying like Chaylen was added to the group.”Diverting his eyes to Terban, Vincent crossed his arms and lifted his chin.“But you’re still the number one bastard,” Vincent added while staring at Terban.“I am trying to stay quiet here,” Terban rebuked and glared. “I am not in the mood to throw curses at you, so shut up.”“Sylvester, it’s time to choose a side,” Chayle
Ryan’s POV“Are you sure it wasn’t you who spread the rumors?” I asked Emily while leaning my head on the table.“Why would I share the blessings? I would like to keep the secret with me and enjoy the paradise of seeing handsome and rich men in that boarding house,” Emily answered.I asked her the question not because I really do believe that she stabbed me from behind. I was narrowing down the possible people who started this. “I think it is one of the two girls you brought into the house. Do you want me to confront them and pull their hair out?” Emily offered.Well, if it is Emily, it is possible.Seeing her reaction, I realized that ignoring the rumors is the best action.“Forget it,” I said. “The situation settled down. Everyone will forget this sooner or later.”“That’s the problem with you. You are too…”“Kind?”“No. Too idiot.”When she dissed me, I felt more comforted.I shook my head and just laughed.“Why are you laughing, you crazy psycho,” she said before eating her Che*
