IV: Mr. President, Are You Some Kind Of A Chick?
Last Updated:
2021-07-14 22:45:23So, Dylan decided that he will ask Ulysses out.
But how can he ask him? He glares at him every time their gazes met. In fact, Ulysses was acting like this the whole day!Dylan throws himself to his bed.He looks at his phone. Since Ulysses can't glare at him through chat, he decided to send him a message.[Hey]After a couple of minutes, he receives nothing. There's no sign of him replying anytime soon even though his status shows that he's currently online. Ulysses has seen the message and chose to ignore it.This made Dylan annoyed. He's used to being the one ignoring the chats he receives from the girls. And now, this person dares to ignore him? The great Dylan, himself?!And so, he spammed him with messages.[Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey][Hey]After a series of messages, Ulysses got imitated. He was busy with student council matters. And this stupid campus heartthrob keeps on bothering him.He picks up his phone and calls him instead of through video call."Oh, shoot!" Dylan's phone almost slipped from his hand.Good thing, he got a hold of it before it fell down on his face.The screen of his smartphone shows, "Ulysses Lopez is requesting for a video call. Accept. Reject."Dylan thinks about it for a while. "Should I answer or not? Ulysses... I just want a DM. Why are you calling me now?"In the end, he answered the video call.The first thing that Dylan saw is Ulysses wearing a long face. He said nothing and just glared at him.Turns out he wants a video call so that he can glare at Dylan even though they can't personally see each other at the moment, it still enabled the president to look at him with his pair of sharp eyes.Dylan retracted his thoughts. This guy can still glare at him without seeing each other face-to-face!Since the other doesn't seem to talk any time soon, Dylan initiated, "Um... you busy?"[Yes, I am. So please don't bother me.] Then Ulysses hanged up.Now, this is too much for Dylan to bear. He's the one who usually hangs up first and not the other way around!Annoyed, he calls him back. Surprisingly it didn't take Ulysses much time to answer.[ What?!] Ulysses exclaims while frowning, [I told you, I'm busy.]"Yeah, but this is important." Dylan said. "Don't hang up!"Ulysses sighs from the other line. [What could be more important than these reports?]"Me!" Dylan beams a wide playful smile.[Just who do you think you are?!] Ulysses massages the bridge of his nose, trying to calm himself.[That's it. I'm hanging up.] He was about to hang up again but Dylan stopped him with his most unreasonable request."Be my boyfriend!"Ulysses froze. Did he hear him right? He wants him to be his boyfriend? What kind of a joke is this? It's not even funny.He regretted that he didn't turn on his screen recording. He could have leaked that to the broadcasting club to prove that it is actually Dylan who's pestering him.With a blank expression on his face, Ulysses said, [Save your pranks to someone else. If you won't tell me what your intentions are, I'll hang up now.]Dylan pursed his lips. "Really, I want you to be my boyfriend."He hates this but since he's at this point now, he better just do it.[Ridiculous.] Ulysses was about to tap that red option but Dylan stopped him again."I'll tell Denise that you have a crush on her if you won't agree with me!"While Dylan looks desperate, Ulysses, on the other hand, is wearing a poker face. However, deep inside, he's annoyed to the bone.[Why are you involving me in your nonsense requests? I don't know what you're trying to achieve but don't use me.]"Come on, dude! Just three months. Just three months and a day. After that, we'll break up."Ulysses annoyingly scratches the back of his head. [Just what are you planning to do?]Dylan forces a smile. "Well, I'm trying to break this curse that's cast on me."The other's eyebrows raised. [Curse?]For goodness' sake, this is the modern times! Are curses still rampant these days?Dylan saw how the other's face becomes unreadable so he tried his best to explain. "I know that this is hard to believe but I can prove it! I really am cursed! My past relationships only lasted for three months! I was thinking if the curse only works when I'm in a relationship with a girl... maybe I'll be able to break it by dating a guy? If I'm unlucky with women, maybe it's a different case if you and I go out together! I promise. Just three months and a day! After that, we'll break up."[Aish... And why does it have to be me?]Ulysses doesn't really believe this absurd story. Dylan is a playboy so it's normal for him to have short-term relationships. Was he even serious about his past relationships? Mr. President doesn't think so."Because if you won't, I'll tell Denise that you have a crush on her. Would you rather get exposed than do me a small favor?" Dylan casually blackmails him.Ulysses' face is now even more unreadable. He doesn't want to get exposed yet he doesn't want to involve himself in this stupid and unreasonable demand either.And since Dylan is being unreasonable, it's only fair to act unreasonably as well, right?[Alright.] Ulysses starts to grin. It's clear that he has something in his mind."You're okay with it? You're my boyfriend now?" Dylan asks for confirmation.Why does it sound too good to be true? It's much easier than he expected. There's no catch behind this, is there?Ulysses smirked wickedly. [Of course not. You should court me first. Make me say, "Yes".]His every word in his every sentence is emphasized."What?! Are you some kind of a chick? You're not pretty for me to chase!"Dylan knew it! This SC President would not agree that easily.Ulysses leans on the backrest of his chair and says, [Then, it's a no.]"Do you want me to expose you to my sister? That you have a crush on her?"Instead of getting anxious, Ulysses just gave him a smirk. [Then, tell her. Thanks for relaying the message.]The reverse psychology that Ulysses used seems to work on Dylan. The latter looks very annoyed facing the screen of his phone."Fine! I'll pester you until you fall head over heels for me."[Yeah, you sure talk big. Go on and try me.]Related chapters
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] V: Mr. President, The Heartthrob Will Give It A Shot!
First Attempt:It's recess time and Ulysses didn't have the plan to go out to the canteen. As usual, he brought his own snacks and eats all by himself inside the classroom.Meanwhile, a commotion starts to ignite as Dylan makes his way back to their classroom."See? Mister president and our prince aren't dating! If they are, they should have gone to the canteen together." Even though Ulysses is a little distant from the entrance, he still can hear the girls outside."Right? Of course, Dylan would not date a guy. And a nerdy someone too. Ulysses will only cause his boredom.""Exactly!""Gosh, this person is too handsome. Too handsome!""Girls, please, let me through." Dylan said with a full smile. The female students surrounded him as usual that made him hard to go in and out of the classroom.He loves the attention he gets for the four years he's studying in Northwestern High School. However, he has an image of a prince to girls, especially to those who are a

Dylan leans on the backrest of the sofa. He just got home and tiredness is evident in his perfectly chiseled face.Even though he's soaking with his sweat, he still looks so handsome. This only made him look even hotter... at least that's what he sees in the mirror.Denise noticed her brother's presence which made her smile playfully. She then headed towards him, even hopping at times.Meanwhile, Dylan just looks at her with a straight face. He knows what she's up to.Denise throws herself on the sofa, looking at Dylan as she rises and lowers her eyebrows several times."So, how was your afternoon with Ulysses?"Dylan let out a deep sigh. Whether it's out of tiredness or disappointment, even he isn't so sure anymore."I swear, he's worse than women! He's hard to deal with!" He complains to his sister. "I am a guy too but I don't think I'm cheeky!""Well... you are cheeky!" She emphasized "You are" because why not? Her brother is cheeky. Boldly rude, impudent,

"Tch. Look at you, sleeping so soundly while I'm having a hard time reading your handwriting." Dylan stares at Ulysses, who is napping in his chair, with a pair of sharp eyes. "You should write properly, yeah?"Fate is playing with Dylan. He said to himself that he will stay here even if they end up staying until eight in the evening. And now, it's already 7:43 pm, almost eight!However, there is still a piece of good news in the flood of unfortunate events. He managed to input every word of every page of Ulysses' barely readable 13-page handwritten report. He also printed it and placed it in the folder with his handwritten report.He dropped it in his desk, creating a sound that echoed in the entirety of this small office. Hoping this would wake him up.One... two... three... No reaction.Ulysses didn't even move a single muscle, not even slightly opening his eyes. There's no sign that he'll wake up any time soon.This didn't make Dylan give up. he picks up the fo
Last Updated : 2021-07-16Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] VIII: Mr. President, Are You Fine?
It's almost ten in the evening and Dylan is still up staring at his phone's black screen, reflecting his handsome features.For some reason, he feels somehow uneasiness inside of him.At the moment, he's arguing with himself whether he should call or at least send Ulysses a chat.The fact that Ulysses is sick and is living alone in an almost dilapidated state apartment makes him wonder if he's fine by himself. But the thought that he might be fast asleep by now makes him hesitate.He let out a deep sigh and buries his face on his pillow. Why is he worrying too much? He's been living alone for four years now. In those four long years, this isn't the first time that he's sick, right?But what is it that made him worry over Ulysses? Well, it's because of what he discovered after he walks him home."You're getting farther from your house." Ulysses said when they took another turn away from the main road. "You can go now. You don't have to accompany me anymore.""Nah

Ulysses stares at Dylan's back as his figure goes smaller the farther he gets. He didn't go inside his room until his vision lost him.The night is chilly and if he stays a little longer, he's afraid he'll catch a cold.He'd be lying if he says this apartment he's renting doesn't make him feel lonely.In fact, every time he goes back here, he's reminded that he's alone in this journey in achieving his dreams; to be a teacher someday. Even if sometimes he feels like his "unseen friend" makes him feel his presence by dropping things on the floor, or banging/opening his door, and even hiding things, it still feels different to be with another human being.He enters his small room and turns on the only lightbulb.There's nothing much inside. Just a wooden table good for two with a rice cooker on top of it, a study table, and a bed.Although the lightings inside his room is a little dim, his vision is strangely darker than usual. It got worse until he feels dizzy.Ul

"You really recovered, huh?" Dylan said as he sits next to Ulysses.He just got into their classroom and still has his bag on and didn't bother to put it on his own seat first.There's still some time before the first subject begins, and the person who's originally sitting where Dylan sits still hasn't arrived."Of course. Didn't I told you there's nothing to be worried about?" He said casually like nothing strange really happened last night.The truth is, Ulysses woke up this morning laying on the wooden floor. He's still in his school uniform and his bag was still on his back.He felt really hungry and thirsty when he woke up since he hasn't taken anything for dinner.A mocking grin slowly forms on Ulysses' face. "Don't tell me you're actually worried about me despite what I told you?""What? Of course n--- yes!" Dylan almost said did it again.He was about to deny it but he remembers that he needs to be extra nice to this person.And then the drama king
Last Updated : 2021-07-19Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] XI: Mr. President Is A Master of Bargain!
[Ulysses!]Ulysses' eyebrows knit when he saw the message that Dylan sent in messenger. As usual, he's going to ignore it first. If Dylan sent him another one, he might as well reply to it. It might be something important but... what could be so important that this stupid heartthrob have for him? Nothing.It's a weekend but he's still doing official jobs through online negotiation. He's trying to bargain with the Broadcasting Club in hope that they will not publish his picture pinning Dylan on the wall. For sure, this nosy club will publish it on Monday along with a weird article about it.Actually, it's not just the Broadcasting Club that took a picture of them. Some girls managed to take some too using their smartphones. Even if he managed to convince the Broadcasting Club not to publish it, their photo will be seen by many, probably to every student in Northwestern High School. It is inevitable and now, his clean image is tarnished. But what he's after here is to at leas

"I won't go there." Ulysses plainspokenly said, refusing to go inside of this strange stall in the town square."We're already here. Don't be such a whiner." Dylan pulls him to enter the said stall.It's a tent-like stall, covering the interior with thick violet curtains, leaving only several signs outside. Apparently, it's a stall where several psychics are inside. They are paid to tell a person's past, present, and future true tarot reading. So, why are they here exactly?A few hours ago, Dylan told Ulysses about Denise going out with some unknown guy. Knowing Denise, she doesn't seem to have a thought of getting herself a boyfriend. All she cares about is her active lifestyle and her Women's Volleyball Club. And these sudden actions of her surprised Dylan and Ulysses.Even though Ulysses isn't hoping for much from Denise, he's still intrigued by what Dylan said to him. Because of this, he dropped the draft writing in his apartment and decided to go with Dylan, who sec

Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] LXV: Say Yes, Mr. President!
"Who are you?" Bryce responded with another question instead followed by another one. "Are you perhaps Ulysses?" On the other hand, Ulysses finds this person suspicious. Does he know his past relationship with Dylan? Is this person very close to him that Dylan would tell him even about their warm love that ran cold? "If Dylan is here, I'd like to talk to him." "He's not in his best state. What do you want to tell him?" Bryce leans on the door jamb without breaking his indifferent look at Dylan. "I'll relay it for you." From the looks of it, it seems he doesn't want Ulysses, who went through all the trouble just to see Dylan once again, to at least take a glimpse at him. "No, I'd like to speak to him personally." Ulysses still insisted. His patience for Bryce is starting to burn, and it shows on his face. He knows Dylan is inside the room. If he's very drunk, where else would he be except in there? Despite the obvious annoyance that's written all over
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] LXIV: Mr. President, Keep Yourself Together!
Ulysses' wristwatch shows it's already past 10 in the evening. Even though it's already this late, the streets are still dominated by private vehicles but not as much during rush hours. He kept his windows open, allowing the cold air coming from the outside to touch his skin. But not that it bothers him even a bit.The recital has just ended. Ulysses hurried to get into his car and left the theater at high speed. Actually, he knows that the gathering will end by 10 but he's still holding into the little bit of hope that he can still see him, even at a distance. He doesn't know what keeps him pushing to come and see Dylan with his own eyes but that's the only thing that's on his mind, to at least meet him after a long time of separation.Unfortunately, the theatre and the resort where the reunion is being held is a little distant so it would surely take Ulysses sometime before arriving at the destination. And as expected, the time Ulysses arrived, the event is over.

"Sir? Sir Lopez?" A student waves his hand a few centimeters away from Ulysses's face. Only by them is he able to get himself together and get back to reality."Yes?" He was so occupied with his thoughts that he didn't realize that he's already spacing out. He got a text message from Denise earlier, and what she texted him made Ulysses feel uneasy."Sir, our pianist got a stomachache and he thinks he couldn't make it." The student said with his worries reflecting on his entire face. "What should we do? Our class is performing next to the current performing class."Their class is performing an hour-long orchestra. And in an orchestra, the piano is a must-have. Now that the one and only pianist in the group is unable to perform, their six months' worth of preparation will go to waste. And it would be a disgrace to their class if that happens. They will have to face a lot of negative feedback from the faculty and from the outside even if this problem can't be solve

"Hi, Dylan! Long time no see!" One of Dylan's high school friends, and also used to be a member of his fan club, cheerfully greeted him as soon as he steps inside the venue. It's a beach party so the batch rented a whole resort for this night.Yes, tonight is the night for their batch reunion. Actually, this gathering is already the batch's second reunion. Apparently, Dylan missed the first one since he refuses to have a homecoming. And so, this would be the first gathering with his old acquaintance in high school that he'll attend. And one more thing, he's not going by himself. Bryce volunteered himself to accompany him, and Dylan doesn't mind at all as long as he'll take care of his own entrance fee of the resort."You rarely come home! How long has it been? Almost nine years? I haven't seen you after our graduation."Dylan shrugged his shoulders as he gives her his signature smile. Really, his charm never fades through time. "Got too busy with my work.

For the second time, Dylan hung up the call. No warnings, no proper explanation was provided. He just hung up as soon as he learned who he was talking to. No one knows how long Ulysses stares at his phone screen but for sure, it took him quite some time to realize he's already spacing out. He sits on the edge of his bed with his phone still in his hand. A lot of thoughts came rushing into his head. And the loudest of it all was the thought of how Dylan felt for him at the moment. "Does he hate me that much to end the call as soon as he knew who am I?" "Is he not willing to reconcile with me?" "Will he... really throw it all behind?" Those questions were just some of the thoughts Ulysses is dealing with. He asks himself these questions but deep inside he knows only Dylan could satisfy his wonder. And the last question he has for himself hits worse than the rest. Why would he wonder if he'll throw away what they had in the past? Is he se
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] LXX: Mr. President, It's Now Or Never!
Ulysses headed directly to his bedroom, shut the door closed, and throws himself on the bed. He doesn't even bother to turn the lights on. At the moment, he only has the gentle light from the moon as his source of illumination.Heart beating fast, hands getting cold, and droplets of sweat starting to form on his forehead despite how cold the night is. Ulysses stares at the small piece of paper that he's been holding for quite some time now. The longer he stares at it, the more anxious he becomes.So, why is he being nervous over a piece of paper? Well, it's because it has written numbers on it. It's Dylan's phone number.He took his phone and inputs the numbers on it. He even checked the numbers twice if not thrice. Still not satisfied, he checked the numbers that he had input for the fourth time. No doubt, he dialed the correct order of numbers.Ulysses took a deep breath. It's now or never.He taps the green button on his phone screen, calling th

"Sir, it's already five o'clock."Only by then did Ulysses noticed that he's been spacing out. He looks at his wristwatch and saw that the time is exactly five pm. Surely, students would want to leave their classes as soon as possible."It really is. Time sure flies." Ulysses stretches his limbs before getting up from his seat. "Alright, that's all for today, class. You may now go."As soon as Ulysses said the magic words, his students are quick to pack their things, preparing to leave. Ulysses also did the same. He sorted out the paper on his desk and put it in his bag."Practice the music sheets I provided you, okay? Our recital is fast approaching." He reminded the students about their upcoming showcase."Yes, sir!" Then the students go out of the room one at a time if not two.It's almost been nine years since he graduated from Northeastern High School. As of the moment, he's working as a music teacher in a private school of music and ar

Dylan finds himself in a pitch dark place. He can't see a thing, not even his hands. His eyes are wide open yet it still seems like he has his eyes closed. "Where am I?" Dylan asked himself. "Anyone here? Ulysses? Where are you?" Even after asking for anyone's presence, he didn't get a single response. Dylan tried so hard to recall what exactly happened before he came into this dark place. As far as he could remember, he's in an old mansion with Ulysses after they run away from their house. And then he suddenly feels unwell. And then he took a rest on Ulysses' arms. And then... and then after that, he couldn't remember a single thing. Could it be... he's just dreaming at the moment? "How could you forget about me?" A familiar voice echoed in the area. That voice of a man sounded like it came from a cave. It sounded so distant yet loud. Dylan isn't so sure about what's happening around him anymore. "How could you easily throw it all away?
Say Yes, Mr. President! [BxB] LXVII: Mr. President, He's Not Feeling Well!
Ulysses recounts all the money he has. It's not much but he thinks he's able to support their needs in the meantime. "I still have some savings from the allowance I got from my scholarship and plus yours... I think it should be sufficient for both of us until I get my first payout for work."If Dylan won't change his mind and stay stubborn as he is now, Ulysses will be forced to spend his vacation to work. And if this setup will be for the long term, he'll just do a part-time job on the night shift and go to school by day. Since he got himself a scholarship and school allowance, that would be extra money."..." Dylan, on the other hand, is silently looking at his wallet. He's not wearing a happy face so it's safe to say that he doesn't have much money with him.Ulysses knows him very well. He's prideful and quite stubborn at times. It's clear that he still needs his mother's help to get through his day-to-day life. However, his attitude gets on the w
