“Aish! Lance Kim, you don’t know how to balance a simple equation?” Patrice was starting to get upset by L’s stupidity.
L just stared at her. “Why are we even balancing chemical equations? I am not going to be a chemist in the future so I won’t need that.” He replied as he stared at her.
Patrice gave him a look. “Then, tell your mom to drop you off this subject!” She beamed as she looked at the paper.
She actually couldn’t look at L long. What do we say? Patrice Kwon is conscious.
L smirked as he leaned closer to Patrice.
Patrice was taken aback with wide eyes. “What are you doing?” She asked, trembling and shocked.
L grinned. “Why are you nervous, Patrice?” He asked.
“W-what?” She stuttered. “Who’s nervous? M-me?” She asked, laughing weakly.
L chuckled. “Yes, you.” He replied. “And why are you stu
Patrice watched L and the Infinite boys dance to the beat of the song.Sure, these boys know how to have fun. And yes, these boys know how to dance.The DJ played upbeat songs and everyone is expected to participate by dancing on the dance floor. But Patrice isn’t really fond of these kinds of things. And no matter how L had been trying so hard to convince her dance with him, no. She declined in every way possible.“Don’t you think all seven of them have the different levels of hotness? I mean, they are hot in a very different way.” Michelle, Jeric’s tutor, beamed as she, together with Hana and Helga, watched the boys have fun on the dance floor.Helga nodded, eyeing Night – the best one – dance superbly, wowing every single person who would lay eyes on him. “Indeed, very well.” She replied dreamily as she eyes Night Lee. Night looked her way and winked. She blushed automatically.Oh, Helga. You
L led Patrice to the door of her apartment in the building.“Thanks for the ride, Death Note.” Patrice beamed.L nodded and smiled. “No, I would love to do it everyday.” He replied.Patrice smiled back and suddenly felt this skipping feeling in her heart. Her heart skipped a beat. Well, usually, this would happen when she is with L or when L smiles at her, or when he looks at her eyes, or when he sits beside her, or… Ugh. Everything L does makes her feel this way for the past few days.“Good night?” L asked her.Patrice nodded. “Good night.” She smiled.L nodded and turned to leave.Patrice watched him start to walk away until he reached the elevator. She smiled to herself and turned to her door, her heart racing really fast.*I think I can’t control my heart right now.* She thought as she walked to her bed.Truly, the way L makes her feel so confused about wha
Patrice stared at that small paper she received this morning all day long. She was not even paying attention to work already. She was at lost. Shocked.Well, who wouldn’t?Imagine if you yourself, who had lived your life in the orphanage and just got the chance to live alone when you were legal, suddenly found out that you, have you last family living around the town, how would you feel?I bet, SHOCKED is even an understatement for your feelings because it isn’t. You won’t be shocked. You will be afraid. Scared. Terrified.And yes, that is exactly how Patrice feels right now.What’s worse is that the ‘last family’ she has only gave her a letter. No, a note. A freaking note telling her to go to a darn restaurant at 6pm.Who would know if that person is just tricking her?Patrice shook her head as she pondered on the thing she would do.Would she go?But what if that someone is playing t
“I am Patrick Kwon.”Patrice felt her whole world stopping at the moment.Patrick Kwon.Why does that sound familiar? She stared at this “Patrick Kwon” guy in front of her. She scrutinized every feature in his face. And yes.He had her mother’s eyes and lips. And her dad’s nose and contour of the face.He flashed a simple smile. “I know you are not convinced right now. I know that you have been through a lot. You have lived on your own without mom and dad. You have experienced life cruelness. But don’t you worry, I did too. As matter of fact, I am still. Until now.” He started.Patrice looked at him without uttering a word. What do you all expect her to tell him?She can’t just accept him the way he is. She experienced being alone. She was all alone all her life. As a matter of fact, she doesn’t need anyone right now. Especially right now that her heart is really waving
L went to Patrice’s apartment that same night. He couldn’t help it. He wanted to know if she is safe.Everything in his mind is all about the worst case scenario.What if the note was a trap and Patrice was kidnapped, raped, killed?She didn’t even tell him she loves him.What will L do?He waited until he saw Patrice step out of the elevator with a man.L narrowed his eyes at the two. He clenched his fist. And darn, how he wanted his fist to land on that man’s face.How dare he talk to Patrice and laugh with her like that?HOW COULD HE?!Patrice stopped in her tracks once she noticed L looking at them. “Lance.” She muttered.L gave her a look. “Who is he?” He asked.Patrice looked at Patrick who doesn’t even have an idea on what is going on.“I am Patrick Kwon.” He extended his hand for a shake.But L rolled his eyes. “Wh
“So, here we are.” Patrick beamed as they stepped out of his car. They are now looking at a huge white house in awe.Patrice’s eyes widened. She wasn’t expecting this though. Her brother said they would visit his friend’s clinic. “I thought we are going to your friend’s clinic?” She asked.Patrick smirked. “This is his clinic.” He replied as he began to walk to the gate.Patrice’s and L’s jaws dropped.Seriously?This is as big as the Blue House and you say what? This is just a clinic?For real?“Come on. I am so excited for you to meet him.” Patrick beamed as they entered the ‘clinic’.The clinic is huge because it is supposed to be a special hospital. I mean, specialized – a specialized hospital. But then, it is not finished yet, so, this just serves as a clinic for now.It is true that it is as big as the Blue House b
“Wake up, Death Note.” Patrice hissed at L who is sleeping in History class for the nth time.L stirred up and smiled at her but then went back to sleeping.Patrice rolled her eyes in disgust and embarrassment because the teacher is already looking at them (yes to her as well because she is not doing anything to wake her seatmate up). “The teacher’s looking, you dimwit!” She hissed once more.“Let her be.” L mumbled as he continued sleeping.On the other hand, the teacher is already fuming with anger to the point that she almost even broken the whiteboard marker because she has been gripping on it too tightly. “Lance Kim, Patrice Kwon, detention after class!” She exclaimed, waking the guts of Lance Kim up.He glared at the teacher. “What?!” He asked as he raised his brow.The teacher, however, looked at him with angry eyes. “Detention for the whole week, Mr. Lance Kim!&r
“Are you okay?” Patrice asked L who was sweating cold sweats after he had been dismissed from the detention. Patrice promised to wait for him after detention, of course as a sign of her gratitude since he saved her from detention. So, she did wait for 2 hours before L could finally be ‘discharged’. L looked at her and smiled awkwardly. Of course Patrice could see that, she had been with L for a while now and she knows if he is acting weird or what. “Yeah, I’m fine. It was just hot in the detention room.” He lied. Patrice nodded, even if she knew that he was lying. “Oppa said he would wait for us in this restaurant.” She told him, pertaining to Patrick, her brother. L suddenly felt his heart palpitating again. He was thinking about this encounter with her brother since lunch and he couldn’t deny that he is really scared – or worried and bothered – even with the mere thought of it. Sure he was despicable and delinquent but this is different. He
It’s been a week since that incident happened.Patrice and L were back to school in no time. Infinite knew about what happened and they all began to bombard L questions like why didn’t he tell them, why didn’t they know sooner and all. But they were all relieved that Patrice is fine.Jillian, as what her mother told L, went out for a vacation to reflect on her actions. Or maybe to clean up her mind. That was good for her though. She needed to free herself from stress.Jacob also has recovered fully. He is now working again and yes, he is still working underground. Patrick was happy for him because he got his own life back.So, probably, after a week, everything went back to normal.“Hey!” Patrice hissed loudly at L, who was sleeping in the library while she explained the lesson for that day.Oh please, L may be her boyfriend but she is still his tutor. So, L should listen to her. At all times.L looked up
“You’re awake.”L almost cried when he saw Patrice’s eyes open. He immediately pulled her into a tight hug. “Thank God, you’re awake!” He said as he caressed Patrice’s back.Patrice smiled at the hug. “Why? Did you even think I would die?” She teased L as she laughed.L wrinkled his nose and glared at her. “Tch. Didn’t you know how crazy I was during those freaking 4 hours that you are gone?” He exasperated. “Damn it! I thought I would die!”Patrice chuckled. “I’m fine now, though, aren’t I?” She gave him an assuring smile. “Forget about it, Death Note!” She beamed.L sighed and pulled her in another hug. “Thank God they didn’t do anything to you.” He hissed as he kissed her hair.Patrice smiled. She’s grateful that aside from the hair grabbing incident before she lost her consciousness, they d
“Hyung, we should save her now.”L told Patrick who was staring at the tissue paper they saw in the restaurant table with Patrice’s bag. Anthony and L saw the bag in one table. In just that blink, L knew it was Patrice’s.326 Busan Complex. Save her. Or regret forever.That’s what’s written in the tissue paper. It was the only clue. And it gave L all the shivers. He was scared. But he was mad. He should’ve known more about Patrice’s whereabouts. What kind of boyfriend was he?His mind and heart are full of desire to save Patrice. He just got her. He has a lot of things to do with her. He would show her a lot of places in the future. He has to save her.Perhaps, he knew about Patrick’s story. So, he is a Mafia Boss. What now? That just gives him the right and power to save Patrice now. L couldn’t think of anyone else. Anything else.He. Must. Save. Her.&ldquo
“Talk.” The fine-looking man ordered as a guy, maybe one of the men in black who abducted her, removed the tape on her mouth.“Jillian Lee.” Patrice gritted her teeth as she glared at Jillian Lee.It was, of course, L’s ex-girlfriend and the daughter of the owner of her previous job that would set her up in this kind of situation. Why did she not think about this possibility?At first, Patrice thought of why didn’t this lady mess with her at school when everyone knew that L is courting her? But hell, she was in for more. What made Patrice even think that Jillian would let that go easily?Crap.Jillian walked closer to Patrice with a wicked smile on her face. “Long time, no see, Patrice Kwon.” She greeted her. She cocked her head and widened her grin. “I miss you. Do you miss me?” She asked.Patrice continued to glare at her. Damn, if she wasn’t tied up, she would beat the crap
“Oh, L, you’re here! Come in.” Patrick opened the door wider for L to come inside.L smiled and went inside. Well, he is technically part of the family now because Patrick actually entrusted Patrice to him. “Where’s Patrice?” He asked Patrick.L has been contacting Patrice since this morning but he thought she was still asleep because she wasn’t picking up so L decided to just come and drop by this afternoon.This. Afternoon.Patrick looked at him weirdly. “I thought you knew. She left to meet someone in a café I think. I think she said she’ll meet Rowell or what. I don’t know. But she said she will be back before dinner.” He replied before narrowing his look on L. “Wait. Are you and Patrice fighting?” He asked curiously.L’s eyes widened in shock. “What? No, hyung, we’re in good terms.” He replied defensively.Of course, he’s t
“I don’t want to!” Patrice protested at L.They are sitting together in one of the benches in the garden of the school. Yes, L kidnapped her from Infinite to have some alone time together. Ha! Being sweet to Patrice in front of Infinite makes him flustered as hell. Well, it’s not like he is ashamed of her, it’s just that Infinite teases him too much after that. It annoys him.L pouted. “WHY?! Just say it!” He insisted.Patrice glared at him. “I don’t want to! Why would I even call you that?! It’s too embarassing!” She complained.L glared back at her. “Embarrassing?” He asked.Patrice nodded. “Yes! Embarrassing!” She replied.L scoffed. “What’s so embarrassing about calling the most handsome man alive ‘oppa’?” He asked conceitedly. “You should be honored that someone like me is in love with you, head over heels!&rdquo
“Nothing left?” L asked Patrice as the people from the moving homes company close the truck.Patrice shook her head. “Nothing. I don’t have a lot though.” She shrugged and signed the receipt the moving homes company people asked her too.Since Patrick was pretty busy with his business, L volunteered to help Patrice in moving her things to Patrick’s house and soon to be Patrice’s new home.Well, it seems like Patrick doesn’t hate L so much now because they have been talking about a lot of things in the last dinner they had. Patrice was the happiest one because the two closest guys in her life are getting along well. Who would have thought?She looked at L who was watching the workers lock the truck and smiled. Who would have thought they would end up being together? Ha! Isn’t it luck or whatnot?L glanced at Patrice and smiled. “Let’s go?” He asked as he laced his fingers into h
Patrice and L walked hand in hand as they entered their building. L was smiling widely. Of course, he finally can show his girl off after all the times he had courted her. What made him happier is that he knows that Patrice is the one.Well, he might not even believe it himself but he managed to fall in love with someone like Patrice. Perhaps, his friends are right. He already found his match.And yes. He is never letting go. He will never let this gem slip off his fingers.“Omo! It’s true!”“His twitter isn’t hacked at all!”“Can somebody buy me ice cream? I need to eat all my heart out.”“I can’t believe this!”“Lance oppa, I am smarter than Patrice! I can tutor you too!”L heard that and stopped. He looked at the girl who was begging to be his tutor. “Do you know martial arts?” He asked.The girl blinked at him. “No I
L looked at Patrice as she laid on his lap. They are at Patrice’s place, watching a movie, eating popcorn.He smiled as he stares at her as she was concentrated on the movie they are watching. Sure everything felt right. Finally, she had admitted that she loves him and now they are going official.Patrice suddenly felt L’s stare at her and looked at him. “Why?” She asked innocently.L smiled and shook his head. “Nothing. I just find you so adorable.” He beamed making Patrice blush hard. “And cute. I love it when you blush.” He added.Patrice gasped as she covered her face and looked to the screen. “HEY!!!!” She yelled at him still with a covered face.L chuckled and held her back. “Hey, look at me!” He whined.Patrice pouted. “I am not looking at you.” She replied. *If I knew this would happen the time I responded, I-* She stopped thinking when she suddenly f
