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
“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
I won’t be able to meet them if only my name is as feminine as other girls.“Hello?” I greeted hesitantly as I peeked inside the open door of the boarding house.As soon as I opened the door, I saw two men who were sitting on the couch, there in the living room. One was holding a light brown guitar while the other one was holding an open thick book, which must be hard to finish, especially because the title says it talks about physics.Anyway, the two guys gazed at me somewhat weirdly, as if I was an odd alien who made their eyes wide open. ‘Or maybe, I dressed a little bit excessively today?’‘Oh come on. I should distinguish between reality and fantasy.’ I slightly shook my head, then met their gawks again. Then, as I was about to introduce myself, another person stood behind me which distracted my attempted warm greeting.“So this is the boarding house,” the man behind me murmured. “It’s f*cking big.” Sensing how rude the man’s voice was, I instinctively looked behind to see if hi
My love life so far only contains three things: reading romantic books, watching movies, or writing stories. Whenever I read the scene: “He pinned her against the wall and locked her between his arms”, I felt the butterflies in my stomach, and that would be enough to fill my romance fantasy. Moreover, I could say there’s really nothing special in my life besides being a good student.“Ryan Mcguffin? You are a girl? Oh no, what to do? We put your name on the men’s lists by mistake.”When I heard that report from the university that I am going to attend, I realized that my simple life, peaceful and quiet, will be in a stormy situation.Several sighs slipped from my lips as I walked in the street and thought about this problem. Looking above, I saw the soft gray clouds which did not seem to move at all while they waited for the time, they would release the intense rain.‘Even the weather is going along with my mood.’“How will I tell this to my mom and dad?” I murmured, bowing my head to
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 h
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
