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.
Ryan’s parents were glaring at the four men sitting next to Ryan – Kyle, Vincent, Terban, and Slyvester, who introduced himself before as Princess Slyvia Patricia Angel Baby.“We are really sorry,” Slyvester apologized.Slyvester could not look straight at Ryan’s parents, nor sit properly because of guilt. He only lowered his head. On the other side, Kyle was on the verge of kneeling in front of Ryan’s parents.“It wasn’t our intention to fool you,” Kyle added.“All this time, Ryan was living with four men?” Ryan’s father asked, his face was a mess. “THE FOUR OF YOU!”The apologetic Kyle confessed, “No. There’s still one more guy. We are five men, Sir.”“FIVE?!” Ryan’s mother and father shouted in unison.Anxiousness spread on Ryan’s Mom and Dad’s countenance. They were deeply worried about their one and only daughter, who lived with grown-up men under the same roof. But what to do? It happened already.Ryan’s mom inhaled sharply as she looked at Kyle.“You are Kylie, right?” she aske
Kyle saw Ryan preparing breakfast in the kitchen.“You’re cooking for breakfast?” Kyle asked.Ryan glanced at him and answered, “Yup.”Kyle noticed that Ryan was acting normal. She was just like the time when she had no idea that there were five men liking her.‘Well, her parents caught her lying. That probably bugged her so much more than our confessions,’ Kyle said to himself.“What soup is that?” Kyle asked, pointing at the pot.Ryan, not a witch, stirred the boiling soup in the large pot. “This is a hangover soup.”But no one drank alcohol yesterday. Knowing this, Kyle got confused. But he didn’t ask for more.“Can you taste it? I think it lacks something,” Ryan asked.“Let me have a taste.”As Kyle took a spoonful of her soup, Vincent came.“What are you eating?” Vincent asked. He didn’t wait for their response and he took a taste of the soup too.“Ahhh! I am so hungry!” Slyvester shouted, hopping like a rabbit towards the kitchen. “Oh? Everyone is here in the kitchen. Let me j…
Emily laughed so hard as if there would be no tomorrow. “See? I told you to confess to Aunt and Uncle. Now look, things got worse! Just be thankful that brother Segi won’t live here.” Emily lays down on Ryan’s bed, chuckling. “This is my fault,” Ryan said with a sigh. Her best friend, who dyed her hair bright green, soothed Ryan’s back. “That’s alright, dude. At least, you get rid of one of your problems. Besides, they didn’t ask you to drop out. That means they still trust you, Ryan.” “It’s too late to drop out.” “Exactly. Anyway, what is your plan? Are you going to stay outside the boarding house so that your annoying cousin won’t have anything to report to your parents?” “I don’t need to do that. I am busy enough, chasing deadlines for school activities.” “Congratulations on that. But given Segi’s annoying character, I don’t think you can preserve your patience. If he’s irritating you, just go and punch him in the face,” Emily suggested while planking on Ryan’s bed. “M
The school festival is around the corner. Ryan and the five men were busy dealing with deadlines, that they don’t have time to stay in the boarding house and talk. Moreover, Ryan’s cousin always visits the house, and that’s why the five guys could not come close to the lady. Segi might be the strictest walking CCTV in history, ever. Finally, after the hell weeks, the school festival is around the corner. That does not mean they could relax during that time though. Clubs and departments were busy preparing activities to make the festival lively, to gain profits, and to attract high school students who will graduate this year. It is time to advertise their school, and therefore, the teachers were serious about the upcoming event. The theater club’s representative, Kyle, went to the office to meet a teacher. Professor Darwin wasn’t in his desk, so Kyle sat first and waited. While waiting, Kyle saw Ryan entering the office. He was happy! It felt like years since the last time he sa
