Ryan’s POV“Are you sure it wasn’t you who spread the rumors?” I asked Emily while leaning my head on the table.“Why would I share the blessings? I would like to keep the secret with me and enjoy the paradise of seeing handsome and rich men in that boarding house,” Emily answered.I asked her the question not because I really do believe that she stabbed me from behind. I was narrowing down the possible people who started this. “I think it is one of the two girls you brought into the house. Do you want me to confront them and pull their hair out?” Emily offered.Well, if it is Emily, it is possible.Seeing her reaction, I realized that ignoring the rumors is the best action.“Forget it,” I said. “The situation settled down. Everyone will forget this sooner or later.”“That’s the problem with you. You are too…”“Kind?”“No. Too idiot.”When she dissed me, I felt more comforted.I shook my head and just laughed.“Why are you laughing, you crazy psycho,” she said before eating her Che*
It was still early evening.Inside the boarding house, Terban was standing near the entrance of the boarding house. He was leaning on the door sill while checking his wristwatch from time to time.Kyle was sitting on the couch while reading a thick book. But he wasn’t really paying attention to the biology book he was holding. It was only an accessory.On the other couch, Vincent and Chaylen were sitting next to each other. Vincent was holding a guitar, while Chaylen was listening to him.When Vincent finished playing, Chaylen gave him two thumbs up.“You play so well,” Chaylen praised Vincent for playing guitar. “Can you play ‘I can tell by your eyes that you’ve probably crying forever’?”“Idiot. The right title is ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk About It’,” Vincent corrected. Chaylen waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about the right title. As long as you get it. So, can you play it?” He even blinked his eyes, imitating a puppy.Seeing his expression annoyed Vincent even more.“I don’t
Ryan’s POVEmily told me to start experimenting to know what I truly feel.That is by looking at those five men as guys.Thus, when I saw Sylvester waving his hand from afar, I realized that the experiment had started. “Ryan, why are you so late? I walked out and looked for you because I miss you,” Sylvester said after running toward my side.I looked at Sylvester’s face and began to appreciate his looks.He had clean-cut dark blue hair when I first saw him. But his hair went longer, so he has long side bangs. I couldn’t see his dark and straight brows.Under the streetlamp, his narrow but bright eyes were shining. Sylvester’s nose was so sharp that it could cut an onion. And his smile? Still captivating. Just looking at it made me feel refreshed. I held my chest to check my pulse.‘My heart beats normally.’ “Why are you looking at me like that? You were observing me too much. Do I have a booger?” he asked, which made me calmer.“Sylvester, I am not comfortable until now,” I co
Slyvester doesn’t care if the people in the boarding house think that he’s so stupid for tripping down. The real reason why he overreacted is because he wanted to spend more time with Ryan.Because the moment they go home, Ryan’s attention will be divided to the other men in the house. And Slyvester hates to share.“Don’t worry. You won’t die with just a scratch,” Ryan said while aiding his wound with a cotton and a Betadine.The two of them were sitting on a mushroom-designed bench in the park.The moon above was bright. It was so quiet around, and they could only hear the singing of crickets and the faint sound of the vehicles from the highway.Slyvester thought that the vibe between them was so romantic.Staring at Ryan, Slyvester looked at her lips.He gulped. Slyvester bit his lower lip while imagining how soft Ryan’s lips would be against his. During times like this, his inner beast was activated.He couldn’t help it because he was attracted to her.However, Slyvester doesn’
Kyle felt so troubled.Having feelings for Ryan was a huge thing to him, but now, he had to deal with four men. Unluckily, two of them were his close friends.“Hi, Kyle!” someone greeted him while he was walking around the campus.Kyle gave a faint nod and smiled. Even if he’s shy toward women, he could not be ignorant.Kyle saw Ryan from afar as he was about to enter the building. He had no idea how to face Ryan. However, he couldn’t fight the need to see her and talk to her right now.“Ry…”Kyle stopped when he saw two men blocking Ryan’s way.“Miss, do you like to join our club?”“You will enjoy it!”“Sorry,” Ryan answered. “I am not interested in joining a club.”Kyle knew that Ryan was too busy to join a club. She even had no time to rest and relax in their boarding house.“Wait a minute. You look familiar. Are you Ryan Mcguffin? The one I saw from the online campus news?”“Damn. She is really that girl!”“The woman who lives with five men, right?”“Your quite cute.”Feeling sh*t
A hot guy was waiting for Ryan outside her classroom.Students, who were walking out of the door, could not help but admire him.‘Who is the lucky girl?’ they all wondered.Until Ryan came out. She stopped walking when she saw him, and the guy waved his hand.“Let’s have lunch together,” Vincent said. The two of them went to the campus park and ate the food Vincent bought outside the school.“Oh my gosh. Did you buy these from Lav café? Everything is expensive in that place,” Ryan nagged while rummaging through the food he bought. Sitting next to her, Vincent answered, “Love.” Ryan looked at him with widened eyes. Her face went red all of a sudden. Still giving an impending stare, Vincent leaned his elbow on the table and placed his chin on the back of his hand.“Foods are expensive in Lav. It’s delicious so I don’t care about the price. Don’t you like delicious food? Love?” Ryan grabbed the lemonade and took a sip of the juice while avoiding Vincent’s eyes. She knew what
Slyvester received an SOS message from Ryan.[“Help me take Chaylen back home! He’s drunk!”]He didn’t think twice, and he went out of the boarding house as fast as he could. When he arrived at the address Ryan had sent, Slyvester doubted his eyes.The wasted Chaylen is lying down on the ground. Ryan was sitting beside him with dark circles under her eyes.“Ryan?! You are not okay!” Slyvester said. It wasn’t a question; it was a statement.“As you can see, this guy is the main reason why,” Ryan answered, pointing to Chaylen.Deep asleep, Chaylen mumbled things that were hard to decipher. Sighing, Sylvester observed Chaylen, but without empathy. Next, he kicked Chaylen’s leg while saying. “Why did he drink so much when he couldn’t take care of himself?”Chaylen only moaned, but he didn’t wake up. Gradually, Slyvester looked at Ryan. He worried Ryan would think he was too violent for kicking Chaylen. If that’s what he feared, then he doesn’t need to be wary.“That’s fine. Kick him all y
20km/h. Ryan checked the speedometer while driving Chaylen’s car.Guilty and disappointed in himself, Slyvester was curling himself like a ball of thread. He was pouting while looking outside the window, trying to reminisce about what should have done and what he should haven’t done.Meanwhile, at the back, Chaylen was sleeping. There was a huge red swollen bump on his forehead. He fell hard on the floor when Slyvester stepped on the brake. Thankfully, he was too drunk, and he didn’t know what happened.“You should have told me that you can’t drive a car,” Ryan nagged.Pouting, Sylvester said, “If I say that, it will make me so uncool.”“Let’s see if you still care about being cool or not once, you’re dead.” “But we’re still alive.”“BARELY, YOU IDIOT.”“Tss,” Slyvester clicked his tongue, avoiding meeting her gaze.“I should have asked Kyle instead. Maybe he can drive better than you.”“Stop teasing me, I’m guilty enough,” Slyvester protested. His face was burning like red paste.
