Looking outside the lifting cubicle, Slyvester was in a foul mood. “Look! People are getting smaller! Wow!” the boy gasped while looking down. Slyvester stared at the boy. ‘If not because of this boy, it should be Ryan and me together.’ He felt so bad that the romantic ride on the Ferris Wheel turned out to be babysitting a boy he doesn’t even know. “Can I ask something?” the boy mumbled while looking through the glass window. “What?” Slyvester answered with a flat voice. “Are you and that lady’s boyfriend?” Slyvester suddenly thought that this boy was cute. “Do we look like a couple?” smiling, he responded. “No. You don’t look good together.” ‘Nope. He’s not cute at all,’ Slyvester changed his mind. “That was so adorable, kiddo,” Slyvester said while pinching his cheek. “Ahh! That hurts!” The kid complained, holding his reddened cheeks. ‘Terban isn’t here, but I could see his soul through this boy,’ Slyvester thought while faking a smile. “That’s not cool, bro. You kep
“Is there no other handsome man in their department?” Kyle put his ballpen down and raised his hand. “Excuse me?” Everyone looked at Kyle inside the meeting room. “What is the prize for this contest again?” “iPhone. The newest version.” Ryan was complaining that her phone was acting weird these past few days. It drained the battery so fast. Recalling that, Kyle made a big decision in his life. “I will participate in the contest as the architecture department representative,” the shy man presented. “Really?! We were inviting you to participate in this contest for a long time. Good decision, Kyle! Why did you suddenly change your mind?” one teased him. Kyle only bit his lower lip while scratching his reddened nape. The next day, Kyle woke up early to prepare for school. His schedule was so hectic. Requirements, deadlines, festival preparation, and practicing his talent for the contest. “There’s no cereal again?” Kyle uttered in front of a bowl with one piece of cereal. He tapp
Vincent noticed Ryan’s wavering feelings from a long time ago. And he knew that a prideful man like Terban would notice it too.“Welcome home,” Vincent greeted Slyvester with a smile.The Grim Reaper standing on the door made Slyvester step backward. There was no escape route as Vincent pulled his ear and dragged him inwardly into the house. “Ahhh! AHhh! Vincent! Ouch! Wait a minute! I am sorry! Sorry!”Slyvester shouted in shrieking pain, and the witness around did nothing but enjoy the view. Chaylen sat on the couch while cutting his nails and watching the murder scene that was about to unfold in front of his bare eyes.“You promised me before that you would never use my motorbike without my consent,” Vincent said sarcastically.Slyvester pushed him away and held his ear. “I did ask you!”“Your honor, the defendant was telling the truth,” Chaylen said, “Mr. Slyvester left a note on your forehead. And for a moment, I thought you became an office table. Pfft…!”Vincent vowed that a
When the surroundings turned all black, Segi shouted. “Ryan! Ahhh!” “Segi! Stop hugging me! I can’t breathe!” Ryan complained. “Hey! Why are you hugging Ryan!” Terban said before hitting Segi’s face. Bam! A loud thud sound echoed. After a few moments, Terban received a punch in his face. “Ahh!” Terban winced. “Did you just punch me, Segi?! Where are you?!” “I didn’t punch you! Idiot!” Segi explained. “Punching you wasn’t enough,” Vincent murmured. “Just wait until the light turns back. I will repay your hit a million times.” Chaylen laughed so hard. “Did Terban accidentally hit Vincent? It’s such a waste that I didn’t see it!” “Who has his cellphone? Please open your flashlight. I will go and get the candle in the kitchen,” Kyle asked everyone. “I have mine,” Slyvester said. When he opened the screen of his phone, the light brightened Slyvester’s face, which shocked Segi, because he was standing next to him. “Ahhh!” Segi screamed. “Did your cousin graduated from an
“Who kissed you? Point him right now.” The night deepened and there was still no electricity. Deafening silence echoed in the boarding house as no one made a noise or speak up after Chaylen gave the dare to Ryan. He sounded so sure about his question, which Ryan could not answer. “Why can’t you do it?” Chaylen asked in a cold voice. Action speaks louder than words. It was true because even if Ryan could not say anything, her eyes did the job. She pored to Slyvester, which added to the suspicions of everyone. Slyvester lowered his head as he couldn’t find the words to say at this moment. The electricity came back and light enveloped the space. Ryan stood up. “S-Since the electricity is on, I’ll go back to my room.” She jolted back to her room, as fast as thunder chasing after lightning. The six men were left in the living room. “Did I… process it right?” Segi mumbled. “Someone among you kissed my cousin!” He shouted and pointed to them. No one replied. He was about to c
Chaylen rejected women. Women don’t reject him. That prideful man looked back at Ryan who confessed to him that she is in love with another man. “It is too early to reject me. Don’t you think so?” Chaylen replied, forcing a smile on his lips. He was trying to be strong, even if his knees were wobbling and his world was crumbling. Hands down, Ryan only stared at him. “You knew that you are the first woman I fell in love with,” Chaylen said, licking the corner of his lips. He took a sharp breath before continuing, “Don’t reject me. Please. Give me more time.” “There are a lot of women out there,” Ryan uttered. “Maybe, it just that I came at the time you need the m…” “Sh*t,” he cursed. “If it is possible for me to fall in love with anyone, then why was I unable to change myself for years? I only became like this because of you, Ryan.” “Did you like me because I changed you?” “You’re not my rehabilitation center. You knew that my feelings were sincere. And besides, you and Slyves
Why did Giselle visit Slyvester’s University? She came there to regain her pride. Giselle would never forget the day Slyvester left her alone during their date. ‘I spoke kindly to him, even complimented him. And then, he left me alone?!’ [“I am sorry, Miss Giselle. I don’t have a girlfriend, but I like someone else. I only came here to meet you because my parents begged me to, saying that it was for business. Sure, I’m handsome and you probably fell or me because of my looks. But I hope you understand that I am not available. Sorry. I’ll go now. And don’t worry, I’ll tell our parents. Bye.”] Giselle was ready to marry Slyvester if their parents would like to. However, that was on te pretext that Slyvester was damn rich. If they end up together, it will help both of their corporations. She was so annoyed that Slyvester misunderstood her approach and thought that she fell for him at first side. “I was only trying to win his side. Bullsh*t,” Giselle murmured. “And I could not bel
Backstage, Slyvester was waiting for the contest to start. He was walking around while holding his phone, and people who saw him thought that he was nervous. He was indeed nervous but in another way. “I wonder where Ryan is right now,” he said. Slyvester could not stay still after finding out that Giselle met with Ryan in this place. He tried to call Ryan, but his phone died down. “Dude, do you have a charger?” Slyvester asked one of the contestants. “I have.” “Can I borrow it for a moment?” “Sure. But I am charging my phone too. If it is full, then get it.” “Thanks, bro!” Slyvester checked the man’s phone. [2%] ‘Is this his way of saying that he doesn’t want to lend his charger?’ Slyvester sighed inwardly. Since he couldn’t charge his phone, he decided to find Ryan after the contest. “We’re about to start. Please stand in line!” the pd student of the contest announced. According to the number, Slyvester is the first contestant. He stood next to Kyle as he looked at the
