Third Person’s POV When Terban entered the boarding house, he was shocked to see a dog wagging its tails in front of him. Spoiler alert, Terban is afraid of dogs. “Arfa rf!” “What the hell!” Terban shouted, hugging the door and moving backward away from a small, cute and friendly Bichon Frise Dog. When the dog approached him, Terban almost burst out crying. “Shoo! Shoo! Go away!” The dog ran to him and he shouted, “Help!” Thankfully, Kyle arrived. “What?! What?! What happ…” Kyle stopped asking when he saw the sight. Will he help Terban first or laugh? Kyle was confused. Kyle bit his lower lip firmly to prevent himself from laughing. Then he urged the dog to come to him instead “Come here, Kittle.” As he called the dog, the cute animal rushed over Kyle. Terban felt so embarrassed after that, his face was so red! Even so, he pretended nonchalant as he stood straight and acted as if nothing happened. “I am sorry, Terban. I didn’t know that you are allergic to dogs,” Kyle
Arriving in the cafeteria, the two sat in a cold place near the AC. While Vincent was buying food, Ryan was trembling in her seat. The AC was blowing straight to her. While caressing her arms, Ryan glanced at Vincent and murmured, “How will I handle that guy? He never listens.” At last, a group Finally, a group of male students sat behind Ryan and covered the Air conditioner. "Hoooo~" she sighed. "You're crazy, Slyvester. I almost died laughing earlier," she heard from behind. Slyvester?!' she gasped inwardly. Even though she admitted that she likes her for a long time, her chest still beats every time she hears Slyvester’s name. "I really didn’t know anything, believe me," Slyvester laughed. He sat down, turning his back to Ryan. ‘Slyvester is sitting behind me,' Ryan cheered inwardly. She was smiling with joy as she bit her lips firmly. “What happened?" asked a friend of Slyvester who was with them at the table. "Slyvester gave his report in front of the cl
"Chaylen, you might want to join our club.” Chaylen looked at the man who held his palm. The man's physique is handsome, with tallness and smooth skin. Although his hair is in a soldier cut, the red lipstick on his lips is still noticeable. And even though his voice is big, Chaylen can clearly see from his movement that he is this big guy's ideal type. "Because I don't plan to join clubs," Chaylen shuddered as he tried to remove his hand. "Don’t be a killjoy, dude.” The man tightened his grip. “Just try it~” Chaylen has no anger or resentment towards homosexuals. They are happy to be with. Case in point, because he's a straight man, he's uncomfortable with the situation. "Dude, can you let me go?" Chaylen begged. Terban just passed by them and stopped for a moment to watch. He could clearly see Chaylen’s lost face and he was really enjoying it. Terban started to walk closer. "Let go of him," Terban warned. As if a thorn had been pulled out, Chaylen happily smiled at h
"V-Vincent," Slyvester said in disbelief as he sat on the floor after receiving a blow from his friend. "Sorry," Vincent apologized. But his face showed frustration for him. "But you are really getting on my nerves." What made Vincent so angry? First, he was driven by jealousy; jealousy because Slyvester has the ability to make Ryan cry even for superficial reasons. Second, he was annoyed that Slyvester repeated the word 'adopted’ instead of defending Ryan. Maybe the things that happened before were the reasons why Vince couldn't hold back. However, when he knocked Slyvester to the ground, he couldn't help but regret it. So, he quickly left the cafeteria, upset and frowning. "Hey, Vincent!" Sylvester shouted. He stood up to follow him. But before he could get out, he turned back to his friends and to the shaken people who watched the scene. "No one will follow," he threatened while gritting his teeth. Sylvester is known to be friendly and kind throughout the campus.
Terban is known on campus to be anti-social, snub-nosed, and sharp-tongued. But although his image is not that good, women still can't help but be fascinated by his good looks. With narrow eyes, a pointed nose, smooth skin, and a small face, he can be compared to the character in the book; the demon cold prince. But today, a miracle will happen that may change his image. "Pffft-" While in class, a loud laugh resonated in the classroom. One by one, the students looked at the source of the noise. Even the professor in front stopped writing on the whiteboard and turned around. Who is the culprit of this scandalous laughter? "Is there something funny in my lesson?" Professor Habulin's question. The man who rarely smiled finally stopped laughing. He peered straight at the professor and then he forged a cough. "There is nothing funny, professor," answered Terban bravely. "Then why were you laughing?" He took a deep breath and answered without hesitati
Ryan’s POV It was super hectic today. After cleaning the theater club storage room, I went straight to class. Then, I went with my group to prepare our report for tomorrow. We ran out of time, and they laughed because of the accident I had with Professor Harry. It was already late evening when we finished everything. "At least, being busy helped me forget some things," I sighed to myself while walking out from the school's gate. When I looked up, I saw a handsome guy, who was always followed by the gaze of every passerby. He was leaning on a pole when he waved his hand to me. "Hi," he mouthed, as he came closer. "Why did you finish so late?" Slyevster asked, hands in both pockets. It was a bit dark around, but I could still clearly see the bruises and wounds on his face. 'I was the reason why he and Vince fought, and until now, I felt guilty.’ "Because my group mates and I prepared a report." "Ahhh." After he nodded, we walked forward together. As the p
Terban’s POVI am sitting in front of my office desk, drinking my third coffee for today.In order to help Dad, I work for the corporation on days I have no classes. I have a special presentation for the meeting later and yet, I couldn’t focus on it all.“I kept on remembering everything that happened last night. Sh*t.”Last night, when I arrived at the rooftop of the boarding house, I saw three drunkards.Kyle was crawling on the floor while holding a bottle of beer.“I am a worm~” Kyle said.Chyalen was crying and laughing like a crazy man. “It hurts! It hurts so bad!” he sobbed. “But I am not alone because Vincent was rejected too! Haha!” He laughed all of a sudden.And the worst part was… when I saw Vincent dancing Salsa on the corner.“What the f*ck,” I gasped with goosebumps all over my body. I would rather see a ghost than watch them more.I left the rooftop in hurry, thinking that I might chase the edge of the knife if I stayed there. When I was about to enter my room, I remem
Slyvester’s POV“Kyle~ I am so hungry~”I walked toward Kyle, who was sitting in front of the dining table and reviewing for his upcoming exam. There was coffee next to him and papers that I avoided bumping into. "Ah..." He replied as if incomplete. He looked at me with concern. He looked like he wanted to ask many things, yet he did not do it out of consideration.‘He must have wanted to ask how Vincent and I are doing.’Sighing, I smiled to show that I'm hella okay. "Dude, what? Is there food?" When Kyle heard my jolly way of speaking, he sighed in relief. He pointed to the pot with his eyes. "There's soup in the pot." "Soup?! Yey!" I quickly ran, and when I got to the opposite side of the stove, I lifted the lid of the pot. I lost my excitement after seeing that the soup had no broth. "Kyle? Why is there no broth in the soup?" "Huh? Maybe the pasta sucked it all up. It took you a while to come down. That’s why.”"Awww," I sighed. I'm still craving hot soup to sip. Anyway, w
“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
