When he told Hayley about leaving, he plans to work abroad. It's just better than accepting any kind of help from Cassandra who would surely slap at his face that without her help, he'd be in the dirt.
Today, he is on his way to visit Hayley unannounced. After all, his sister isn't the type to go out so much. If she goes out, she'd be just visiting the orphanage, go to school or buy cakes, that's what she told him.
In front of the tall building, he inhaled deeply and blew it out, walking towards the entrance. The guard was looking at him with suspicions in their eyes but he ignored them. He walk to the front desk and asked which floor Hayley Grimroe's unit was.
"Uhm... are you related to Miss Hayley, sir?" the wo

Everything has been good for Hayley for the past months that she has been in Shinrea Senior Highschool. Though there's a lot of gossipers in their school, no one has come up and done such dirty tricks on her yet and she's thankful. She is also thankful that she's doing just fine with her academics and her friendship with the PUBG squad."Aye, have you guys heard?" Mafu suddenly turned to them and they raised a brow at him. "Miss Penguin from the Art class says she'll be giving us a project.""I thought the quarter just ended?" Eleanor asked."School sports fest is coming too. What's up with Miss Peng?""Is it for the whole 12th grade?""Beats me!" Mafu shrugged. "Let's maybe wait for the announcement."When the school bell rang, everybody had gotten inside and when Miss Rayze went in, they all stand to greet her then took their seats again. They were all excited about the school sports fest announcement but...

Everyone had yelled 'Yes!' in chorus as soon as they hear the bell ringing for their break time. To cheer them up, Mafu had a splendid idea and told everyone he'd allow himself to be the one to buy snacks for everyone. Their faces brightened. It seems like everyone really hates the crowded canteen. After listing what they needed, Hayley offered to help Mafu carry everything so she went along with him. On their way to the canteen, students from other classes gossiped loudly while they both pass by. She glances around and saw them stare back with judgment in their stares. "Don't mind them. They are just jealous that they can't have fun like us. It should be natural now," Mafu uttered. "But they're laughing and calling our class the hygiene specialist class. That's some kind of bullying." "Who cares about what they say? Those things never change. They always have something to say regardless. They'll get tired of that." So, Hayley just shrugged it

Kenji's eyebrows were drawn together, staring at his wife's red grumpy face. What is Hayley talking about and why is she suddenly this cute in front of him?"Why the hell are you bringing up an annulment?" he asked, plastering a grin as he reach for Hayley, pulling her towards him. "What's wrong, love?""Your Andrea just told me you told her you'd never fall for someone unlikable as me and said that I am not your type! Am I really not your type, Kenji?""Uhm..." Kenji crinkled his nose, motioning his hand while slowly shaking his head to the sides, trying his best not to end up laughing. But he can't keep a charming smile from appearing on his mouth. "You're not ju--""I freakin' hate you!" Hayley growls, shoving away his hands, and walked to the other side. Before she enters the car she gave him the magic finger. "Don't you dare talk to me!"He could only laugh at how Hayley reacted. She looked so pissed it was damn adorable to see her all grumpy.

When Kenji got out of the door, Hayley had already gone in the elevator and he raked his hair with his fingers in frustration, cursing. He doesn't know what had gotten into him that made him say those mean words to her. "Damn it!" he grunts, going back inside. At school, before it's class time, Kenji head towards 12-C, entering like it was his classroom. As he walks inside, the students there started whispering if he had lost his mind and forgot which classroom he belonged to. But he just head straight to where his wife was. "Let's talk," he uttered, a blank expression on his face. "You're making a scene. Let's talk later, class is about to start," Hayley muttered, looking away with furrowed brows. Clicking his tongue, Kenji looked around and everyone started to pretend to mind their own business. He glances back at Hayley and she was not looking at him at all. "Either we talk out or I'm going to sta

Hayley's eyes were round looking at the doctor and then to Kenji. No! There is just no way she is pregnant and how long has it been since that night?"Aye come on uncle, don't scare her like that," Kenji uttered. That's when she hears the doctor chuckled. Uncle? It's his uncle? "What's really wrong with her?""According to the results, there's nothing wrong with your wife, Kenji. You should stop worrying too much.""You're his uncle?" She asked and that's when she read the name on the desk, saying Maledict. Oh! She really thought all the Meledict family runs a company or maybe this uncle runs the Hospital or something."Yes, my dear. I was at your wedding.""Oh... I didn't notice people at the wedding. I was just focused on how annoying Kenji was.""Annoying? Wow! If I wasn't the one you married you'll be crying your ass off at that altar, my messy wife!""Whatever!""I see you two get along just fine. I was afraid

Finally, the festival day came after two days of cleaning and a day of practice for the chosen sports. Before anything starts, they have to gather around for an opening ceremony which is consists of speeches, more reminders about sportsmanship and rules. But of course, Class C just wants to play already, this is the only fight they can confidently win. After the long speeches and like practiced, they head to their respective sports venue. Since Hayley and Eleanor are playing Volleyball girls and Jasper and Mafu are on the basketball team, they needed to separate. "When our game finishes, we'll be there to cheer you up! Fighting!" Hayley told the guys. "See you at breaks!" "Careful with the balls, aight?" "Alright!" Both Hayley and Eleanor waved at the guys while they make their way to the volleyball court. They were planning to play doubles in badminton but the slots were taken so they stick to volleyball. Even though Hayley doesn'

It has been a while now since Eren exited the clinic but Hayley's mind still wanders to every word he had said. This is the second time he had warned her that he's coming for her. Should she tell Kenji now? Or maybe Mafu?Thinking about this just gives her a headache. Her arms are still not okay but she got off her bed and returned the ice pack to the nurse. After saying her thanks she heads out. If she can't tell the boys about it, she can always tell Eleanor about it.In the hallway, Eleanor and her met. Looks like the game had just finished and Eleanor was coming to see her."Do they still hurt?" Eleanor nods at her arms and she shakes her head side to side. "I'm worried about you. We really pushed you to do the diving. I'm such a bad person.""I really had fun, though! I mean these burns and redness they'll heal.""Are you sure? It's like something's weighing you down even after victory. It's more visible now."Hayley l

Hayley watches as Mafu aggressively plays in the court. He has been keeping a straight face since he returned from getting a drink. They couldn't figure out what's up and he won't even speak to them. It looks like some evil spirit had taken over him.This resulted in him getting a couple of fouls and he was out of the game. Mafu just took his bag and walk out of the gym, not even looking back when his teammates and Jasper called him."I have to go talk to him," Hayley told Eleanor and she just stand up and followed Mafu outside the gym.When Hayley sees him she marched towards him, grabbing his hand that forced him to face her. His brows were knitted together, eyes glistening with anger."What's up, Mafu? Are you upset with me?""No," he answered, not even looking at her. "I'm mad at something else.""Like what? We can talk it out to make you feel better!"Just after she said that, his killer eyes pierced at her, his feature clo

Under the beautiful blue sky, Eleanor and Jasper walked out of the church sealing their promise in front of a lot of people. Then they went to the reception where the afterparty is held. It was not as grand as my wedding but it was happier. As the party was over, the newlywed made their way to their car after bidding goodbye to us for their honeymoon. Eren and Greg with their girlfriends went home. Mafu and Clarielle-- which I never thought had something-- had gone to enjoy the night. That leaves us, Kenji, Bren and I to do something fun. Bren was entrusted to us after all. "So, what do you like to do, baby Bren?" "I'm not a baby anymore, aunt Hayhay. I'm a big boy now!" This makes me laugh. Bren is just seven an

Hayley's heart was just crushed the moment she heard the name. She felt everything lost in time and even when it was just a second, to her, she was transmitted somewhere dim and slow. Until Clarielle took her hand taking her back to the real world. "I've heard so much about you, sister! Finally, I get to see you in person!" Clarielle continues to get excited. Is this girl really calling her sister? It could have been sweet if Clarielle wasn't Kenji's new girl but she is. Hayley flashes a faint smile. "It's nice to meet you too." It's nice to get slapped like this, words she can't say so she continues to lift the corners of her mouth higher. "Though I'm not so familiar with you, I've heard your name twice." "Oh, right! I'm so

Before they know it, the trip was over. Hayley thought of staying because she fell in love with the ocean and the underwater creatures. She wanted to keep swimming and submerge herself with the ocean. When she's swimming, she feels like she's floating away from her problems, her painful feelings. But the sun always sets and she has to go home. As they board the plane, they all talked about Jasper and Eleanor's wedding. Hayley had almost forgotten about the date. Luckily, they are discussing everything now. "I hope you guys are free during the practice. It won't take long and it's maybe just two or three times," Eleanor stated. "I'm always free," Mafu said, raising his hand. "But I do need a favor to ask. I'll text you the details later in private." "Are you going to steal Eleanor from Jasper?" Greg joked, softly chuckling which earned a glare from Mafu. "That's why Lily doesn't like you!" "Hey, Lily likes me!" "Oh c'mon!

Greg for no reason woke up early and head out to see the morning sun. Surprisingly, he saw Kenji in the lobby with a backpack on. Greg frowned approaching Kenji."Yo! I thought you leave in the evening? What's with the bag?" Greg asked."Change of plans," Kenji told him like it's no big deal that he is leaving. "I have something important to do. I'll hang out next time.""Next time? Yo! You said it the last time but we never saw you then, you piece of trash! Don't give me that I'll hang out next time!""Chill bro!" Kenji tapped his shoulder while chuckling. "I'm staying in the country for good so chill out! Just give me this time.""Does Hayley know that you are leaving e

The night was fantastic, the foods served by the resort are really delicious that Bren really enjoyed. Their surrounding was peacefully harmonizing with everything except Kenji and Hayley. They noticed how the two of them are glaring at each other since they were sitting the opposite sides. Guess their sweetness must have expired, all of their friends thought. To lighten the night, Mafu took grabbed his glass and raised it up. "Cheers to us gathering peacefully!" he cheered. When Greg raised his glass, the rest of them just followed so it's not so awkward for everyone. Hayley had a glass of sparkling wine that she raised and when she brought it down, closer to her lips, Kenji suddenly took her drink and drank it. Everyone ha

"Do you think they're alright?" Eleanor asked the people inside the van. "Hayley was so mad, she is going cut your head off, Mafu.""They will be fine! At least she won't have any other escape!""I feel bad for Hayley," Greg stated. "We are sabotaging her.""Just chill guys! We will know what happens when we see them!" Eren told them.But Eleanor was still worried about her best friend. She is a terrible friend for agreeing with the group's plan to bring back Hayley and Kenji. Although she heard Kenji say that he loves her the same, to Eleanor, Kenji seemed changed."Something weighing your mind?" Jasper noticed her blank stare."Yes. I'm just worried about Hayley," she replied, flashing a smile. "Kenji just feels different. Like he is back to being that unapproachable guy who puts a line you're unable to cross.""It's something understandable. They spent four years apart. Any person would try to change bad habits but I think Kenji is

Hayley froze in where she was. She doesn't even know if she should look back and gaze at the face she misses or pretend to be cool about his sudden reappearance. "Yo! Dude!" Mafu cheered that snapped Hayley back. As Mafu runs to hug Kenji, Hayley took the chance to turn to see her husband. Kenji looked way better than when she first met him. He was brighter, more handsome and his wide smiles were back. Tears were starting to form in the corners of her eyes so she looked away. "Man, you didn't tell me you were coming!" Greg yells. They were crowding around Kenji and so Hayley took this chance to go on ahead. She doesn't know how to face Kenji. Everything about him changed and he didn't seem to mind her too. It will only embarrass her if she acts close when they are not close anymore. At the waiting area, Hayley immediately took off the rings on her finger and put them inside her bag. Why did nobody tell her that Kenji was comi

Time flies so quickly and it has been four years since Kenji disappeared on them. Only one semester left in college and Hayley will be graduating soon. The first two years, she was still hopeful to find Kenji, hopeful that he will return but then as soon as she was on the third year of waiting, that hope she has slowly faded. Whenever Hayley asks about Kenji to the guys, they would tell her they don't know where he is at the moment. They said Kenji never once contacted them too. Even though she thinks they lie, she would not blame them. After all, it was her who hurt their friend. Hayley sighed, looking at the big house in front of her. She is using it as a reference for her next project but the fresh breeze and the sky are just reminding her of the meadow. Four years... it has been four long years but the rings were still on her ring finger. "Your thoughts are flying somewhere again!" When she turned to her right, she saw Eleanor who just returned fr

After Kenji left, Cassandra went to her daughter's room. She sat on her daughter's bed and looked at her peacefully resting. There were tears in the corners of her eyes. "Oh my little flower," she softly cries, flashing a sad smile. "I thought I should grow you with thorns so no one would hurt you. I've forgotten that you can also hurt yourself. Despite that, you have hurt the one you love too. "I am very disappointed in you for hurting someone who truly loved you. I guess you took over from your father. I guess it's my fault too for cutting off your wings. I am truly sorry, Hayley." Cassandra sniffled, wiping her tears gracefully. "Get well soon, my love. Let's hopefully bring back the times we missed because of my fears." After kissing her daughter's cheek, she left the room for her little love to rest. Just as she predicted, her daughter did hurt Kenji and she didn't have to do anything... nothing at all. "This is for the best,"
