The weekend arrived, Anthony had come to Elyn's house since dusk. He is currently cosplaying as a dream son-in-law in front of her mother, Elyn thought. Because he completely changed behavior like a stranger for the sake of perfection in the eyes of others. But the most annoying thing beyond his pretense is that Anthony reveals Elyn's test results to Mom. “Auntie doesn't need to worry, I will help Elyn learn and improve her school grades from now on.” "Damn you, Anthony!” she cursed in heart. Elyn deliberately did not tell mom about school life so far as not to cause anxiety. Now her efforts are in vain. Mother looked closely at her son-in-law's face with warmth. “Auntie, thank you very much if you want to help her with school lessons, Anthony. But doesn't it bother you?” “Not at all... I was also able to repeat the lesson together." Anthony ended his word of wisdom by powering the details in actions, turned to look at Elyn with warm eyes, and did not escape a charming smile. E
James looks bored attending his own birthday celebration. Nothing new, nothing interesting for him. Because again, even though this is a birthday celebration event, it is still a gathering place for adult relations, business and covert gossip. From a distance he could see someone had just arrived, James immediately stood up, feeling energetic with full spirit to welcome. Ah, or rather preparing to accept the congratulations of his special invitation. Anthony and Elyn arrive at the party room, they immediately head to where James is. The crowded party room with the existing audience made Anthony have no choice but to embrace Elyn in his arms so as not to jam each other with other guests. At that instant when James saw the two, the excitement of enthusiasm for a moment ago immediately disappeared. Unknowingly he kept an eye on Elyn's figure, not letting go of his gaze until the girl came before him with Anthony—his best friend. "James, happy birthday.” Elyn reached out her hand to co
Anthony runs halfway to catch up with James, but there he sees Carol by accident. In a quiet corner of the hotel near the evacuation stair. Anthony was watching, unusually, when he could have called her name. unsure why this time his mouth was tight, his heart said there was something else with Carol. The girl walked more and more into the corner, then she opened the evacuation door. Anthony thoughtlessly followed her, worried that something might happen. Carol sat on one step, taking something out of her shirt pocket. It seems something so valuable that it is carefully stored, hidden. Anthony was still watching, he could see the thing Carol had pulled out was a letter. She began to read the letter in silence. He wants to give Carol time to be alone to use the silence in wading through memories. But it also feels wrong if he leaves her alone in a place that is not public, lonely, secluded and can be dangerous. Anthony remains worried something could have happened to her. Meanwhile he
James ran towards the toilet, trying to calm himself down. His face was hot with shame, first because embarrassed to see Elyn with another heart motive and second embarrassed if Anthony saw him like this. Cant getting caught or finds out that he has other feelings for Elyn. If that happened, don't know what James has to say to justify himself. What will happen to their friendship when that time comes. There is no history of romance between the four friends, never before, let alone a triangular romance. And to be the first to do such a heavy load is not easy at all. "James.” James was startled to turn around, the one who called him was Sihan. “You okay?” “A-ah, I'm good. It's okay." James tried not to panic. “I think we need to talk.” Sihan's face when saying that was flat without expression. "Huh?" James gulped, tense to face Sihan who looked different. Wondering why his friend was staring seriously and sounding spooky. "Talk? What’s talk?” “I saw it all.” The words are short
Back to Anthony and Elyn's engagement party a few months ago... Sihan has been spinning around looking for Carol but her whereabouts have not been found anywhere. Unlike four old kids who are familiar with each other's home conditions. Sihan has only come to Anthony's big and spacious house a few times. At that time in the middle of the search, he heard Anthony and Elyn talking. At first it was not intentional but then Sihan continued to steal ears without bad intentions. Just like the other SOPA students, he was surprised that night that Anthony and Elyn's parents announced the engagement. But he was even more surprised to hear Anthony and Elyn's secret deal in Arthur's study. “Elyn and Anthony didn't know about their engagement?” Sihan felt wrongly heard. The engagement that occurs due to matchmaking on the part of the parents has happened a lot, even though the child does not agree. There is no stranger to it, especially in the world they live in. For the sake of business pur
James and Sihan returned to the party venue after disappearing for about 20 minutes. Sihan walked up to William who was apparently still with Elyn, unexpectedly the two combinations of opposite characters could survive together all this time. “Huh? what's wrong with him?” Sihan was surprised. “You mean?" James is confused. Sihan answered the question with a glance of eyes pointing in one direction. James found what Sihan asked. “He's been with her all this time?” when he left, thought William was just exchanging greetings and then left. He was so tempted to extract information from William, whatever he had talked about while with the new student. “I can't believe it.” When referring to the nature of William then this is indeed a rare sight. Lingering to chat with strangers, spending time with someone who is not even familiar with him is definitely not the suave personality of the boy. Or should he say it because williamstart to welcome Elyn as a new member of the family of four,
James takes Elyn to the green room, where she prepares before the party. The room is still on the same floor but it is quite hidden because it is not public access hence the room is empty throughout this event. Elyn didn't understand why they needed to find a quiet place to avoid the attention of others, and didn't know what James wanted to talk to her about to act so far. "Have a seat Elyn." James asked, as he sat on the sofa. The girl just thinks because she doesn't know what to do there even though she feels a little uncomfortable alone in the room. "Uh. So what do you want to talk about?” Elyn is hunting to get away from there. James smiled to understand why the girl's face before him was tense. He also felt wrong to invite Elyn to come here, it was not easy just the two of them together with someone who disturbed his heart. The feeling became more real after James accepted, admitted his feelings. So, if Elyn feels the same tension and anxiety, does that mean she is also agai
A moment of silence filled the enclosed space. Elyn, although logically trying to understand everything James had said,still unconsciously asked questions that cast doubt on all the confessions. "James, are you serious?” for a moment the thought flashed through her mind that this situation was just a joke to play a prank on her. It's possible that Anthony is the mastermind behind this madness who secretly teams up with his friends to trick her into hosting a silly entertainment event at James ' birthday celebration. That's how hard it is to accept this situation. “You really like me?” “Yes, I’m." James's stern face did not change in the least, locked in the figure of the girl who was in a state of confusion receiving the recognition of his heart. “But, how is that possible... I mean—how so?” James smiled bitterly at Elyn's question as if doubting his sincerity. “You mean, how can I do this when you are already the fiancee of my own best friend?” Elyn jumped in panic in her se
Love With Flaws Part 6Since they started working on the task together, there was actually something Jennie wanted to ask Matthew. But felt doubtful if it was right for her to do that. What if his feelings for her were a thing of the past. That means she doesn't deserve to ask and bring it up again.“You know the letter you left behind," Jennie thought of a way to find out the boy's current feelings. The only way she thought of it was by bringing up the subject of the letter he had written to her.Matthew flinched, but his mind was busy thinking. “Letter? What does she mean is a letter in a glass bottle? So she took the letter I left behind, is it?" doubted in his heart and never thought Jennie would talk about the letter he wrote. “You took it? When?" he asked.“When you no longer come there.”again he wrestled with the thoughts in mind. “Even she knew that I was always there and stopped coming back. But we never met!” The two never met because if Matthew was there, Jennie would tu
Love With Flaws Part 5Love, Jennie does not understand what love is. But it isn't the feeling of love that she felt for father and mother as well as her sister–Bella it is also love. Jennie's love for people who are precious and very important beyond herself. Not wanting to lose those people and always wanting to be together is a form of love for them. The love that Matthew declared was not like that, is it? What each love has a different form. He said about the proof of love, let there be time to speak, the part she could not understand what he meant in the letter. In every letter that she receives, Matthew always leaves an unsolved mystery that makes Jennie feel curious even more than that. It's not just a question of how she describes it.“Did you read that letter again?” Egy rebuked her fellow classmate.“Huh? It’s just..” Jennie can't excuse being caught red-handed. Not once did she read the letters but repeatedly at every opportunity. The more she read, the more get lost in th
Love With Flaws Part 4 On the way to the club room Jennie saw a football club that was training on the field. her footsteps stopped, then stood there watching. Matthew might have been one of those who was training in the middle of the field, thought her. From the beginning if Jennie had a desire to find a young man named Matthew, the sender of the letters. she could easily find it. Jennie has enough clues about Matthew's identity and whereabouts. 1) Matthew is Lea's cousin, 2) Matthew close with Alec, 3) Matthew was a soccer member, 4) Matthew is a boy from nextdoor class. With all the hints of a dot, Jennie chose not to do anything. So Lea and other friends think Jennie is not interested in him. So is the conclusion that Matthew can draw from all the collected pieces of fact. When it feels like there is no hope anymore and the opportunity to meet, why now Jennie and Matthew must cross paths as if they had been destined. Jennie finally got to know Matthew for the first time. It's ha
Love With Flaws Part 3 Lea is more often outside the room if not during class hours. Finding Lea's whereabouts was like looking for a stray cat, difficult until Jennie was exhausted. “I got another letter.” Jennie immediately conveyed her needs as soon as met Lea. “Then why?” Lea reacted flatly. “I want to ask for your help.” Lea's face looked uncomfortable. “It makes my position difficult... Matthew's my family and you're my friend. I want to be neutral.” “No wait! Don't get me wrong.” Jennie refuted Lea's remarks quickly. “Oh, thank God then... I thought you asked me to tell you to turn him down.” “No. It's about the content of the letter–huh? Wait! What do you mean by rejecting?” Jennie asked, not understanding. “What happened to the letter?” Lea dodged Jennie's question. It was clear to her that Jennie did not seem to know the purpose for which her cousin had sent a letter. Jennie gives Matthew's letter for Lea to read.“Does Matthew want to see me? But he didn't ask me t
Love With Flaws Part 2 It wasn't hard for Matthew to figure out what the girl's name was. The difficulty is what he has to do next. Suddenly, it was not easy to approach her. This may be Matthew's momentary sense of being attracted to Jennie. But he didn't have the slightest bad intentions. Right now all he wanted was to greet her, talk to her, get to know her. Matthew wanted to leave a good impression on Jennie. Matthew is too hasty. Or Should he wait. Waiting and doing nothing is the same as not starting at all. To be honest Matthew is not the type to be easily captivated like this. In his world until this time he only has one interest in something is football. Love for the opposite sex, of course, exists but that is not his priority . Love is a part of life and Matthew believes its own timing will come. At first Matthew wasn't the one on purpose about Jennie, not at all. Something in his heart that felt every time saw her, encouraged him to take action. The sooner he does, the
Love With Flaws Part 1 Maybe it was fate that brought Jennie to this place. The school that Jennie had never really thought of before would be spent for the next three years. In this place there is nothing she is looking for, but there is something that wants to take care of, she protects with all heart, all her soul, as best she can. Jennie didn't want to let a little thing escape her attention anymore. Don't want to lose more time of togetherness between siblings and family. Jennie will begin to collect small fragments, make good memories, live a life without regrets towards her loved ones again. Don't want to make a mistake a second time. The road ahead of her that must be passed is not easy, very heavy, Jennie fully knows it. But that's life, no matter whether or not the path has been chosen. rather live that choice and make it so that it becomes the right choice. Because constantly thinking the choice is correct or not is just a waste of time. No one will know until they try it
After receiving approval from the school, the official Research Club was formed thanks to Alan's help rearranging their proposal. Anthony and old kids are busy managing their new club. Starting from cleaning the empty room that they will occupy as a club room. The room, which was not occupied for a long time, was filled with dust, old cobwebs, mice and cockroaches. It also cleans up the stuff that is piled up there. They have to work extra hard to get it done. “Anth, where is James? He's a member of the club too, why not come?" Carol said annoyed to have to work hard, feeling a lack of people who should be able to share and lighten the task. “Do not know. Never mind, just leave him alone for a while." Anthony doesn't understand anymore. Since his return, his strange attitude has persisted for a long time. Sihan came back from the teacher's room with William, carrying bottles of drinks for his friends that he accidentally bought in the cafeteria. Thanks to the inclusion of Alan joini
It's not just bad news at school. Anthony and the old kid also had to accept the unpleasant news that William brought that afternoon. That their club proposal has been rejected or has not received the approval from the principal. In the middle of meeting the four, they gather at basecamp after school. A Lot of discussion going on. Anthony asked angrily. “What is the reason?” William was no less harsh in attitude. “Your proposal has too many flaws, has no purpose, weak arguments, and is not interesting. It's not enough to make the principal feel confident about giving permission, of course.” “You–what needs to be so honest and cruel to say it." Anthony is injured and causes criticism. “I'm telling you so you can learn a lesson. For what it's worth, I'm sweet. Do you want to give up and forget your dream club?” “Of course not!” While the two men had a heated argument, the remaining two people, James and Carol who were also present there, remained silent but were dizzy from hearin
William was used to coming earlier than class time. He felt more comfortable spending time alone in the student council room. Being in public makes him tired of having to constantly put on a suave mask, maintain an attitude and so on. The student council room was an escape for him to breathe freely at school. When the door of the student council room opened, it turned out that someone was already there waiting for his arrival. surprised to find that Anthony could also come to school in the morning. The problem that made that one friend come so early and was willing to wait for him like this, so if Anthony wanted something, nothing else. “What brought you to see me so early was a matter of the club?" William asked unceremoniously. “That's one of them, and there are several others." Anthony's been sort of a room-steward of course which is usually the role of William sitting there. “What?” Anthony's face lit up. “What about James?” He was so sure William heard something from James be
