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
Third Person’s POV “Slyvester, are you still mad at me?” The wind blew. Ryan found it intoxicating that the wind always blows at crucial times. Is this the law of romance? She always sees this scene in the dramas she watched before. “Sorry,” Slyvester said as he looked away. There was a stitching pain as Ryan ogled his handsome side profile. If there’s one person who should apologize, Ryan thought it should be her. “You’re not wrong for asking about Nikki. It was not out of line. I overreacted, and I think I should apologize for being so immature.” Ryan bit her lower lip. She looked above. There was no moon and stars above. ‘At least there is no always pretty moon and stars in romance,’ Ryan laughed at this inwardly before she parted her lips and responded. “No. Actually, after some thinking, I realized I was wrong at some part. Sorry, Slyv.” “Hmmm.” The two of them walked forward while watching Chaylen chase after Vincent. They weren’t finished yet. They didn’t talk afte
Terban saw a dinosaur. The predator slumped over him, he kicked it away but it was too heavy. To get away, Terban but the leg of the dinosaur.“Ahhhh!” the dinosaur growled in pain.The window of Terban’s eyes flung open. He was wet with sweat as he looked around him. It took him seconds to figure out that everything about the green dinosaur was only a part of his dream. But just like in his dream, he could taste salty flesh in his mouth.'What's in my mouth?'His heart pounded while he looked down, and then he caught himself biting Chaylen’s feet, which were leaning on his face.“G*DD*MNSH*T!” he cursed before pushing Chaylen’s feet. Swiftly, the pale Terban sat up as he covered his infected mouth.“Hmmmm,” Chaylen groaned, scratching his tummy while sleeping.Terban’s head was swirling. He was so curious about how much he had drunk last night that he ended up sleeping next to Chaylen in the boarding house’s living room.Nope. He’s wrong. It’s not only Chaylen.Vincent was sleeping o
[“But ironically, you’re prettier. In my eyes, you are always pretty even if you’re wearing a rag. That’s how love works, idiot.”] Those words rang in Ryan’s ears even after they entered the restaurant. From the back, she glanced at her childhood sweetheart. ‘It was so hard to get used to his sweet behavior,’ she protested. Taking a deep breath, Ryan looked at the huge menu folder in front of her. When she saw the prices of the food, her eyes blinked simultaneously. ‘Is he telling me that we will spend $100 for one dish? That’s insane!’ Slowly, she peeked at Terban. ‘Well, he’s rich. Ordering expensive food is fine.’ “Did you make a choice?” Terban asked, flipping the menu. “Not yet. Since this is your treat, I have to choose well.” “Why? You’re worried that I’d spend a lot? Don’t pick the lowest price.” “Who said I would? I am actually searching for the most expensive food.” Terban’s hands clutched tightly around the menu folder. His doubtful eyes gawked at his date. ‘
Ryan’s POV When Slyvester approached us, the only thought I had been to get out of the place ASAP. I could not look straight into Slyvester, nor remembered what he and Terban talked about in the process. Then Terban pulled me out of the restaurant. Arriving outside felt as if the thorn in my throat was pulled out. Yet, I was guilty of acting oddly and of creating a ruckus. “I am sorry,” I said with a sigh. Terban stopped walking and looked at me. I could not lift my head to face him though. “Because of me, we couldn’t eat. Let’s look for another place. I will pay this time.” “No. Let’s just go back home.” ‘Is he sulky?’ I lifted my head to see if he was really sulky. But he was not. Rather, Terban was so mad. His sharp eyes made my palms clammy. He was jutting his jaws while his brows met in the middle of his forehead. He was angry and disappointed in me; I could tell that. “I took you out to enjoy,” he murmured, “Well, it looks like you won’t enjoy it. At the end of the
Ryan’s POV In my deep sleep, I heard my phone ringing. ‘Who the hell is calling at this hour?!’ I picked up my phone from the side and answered the call. “Who the f*ck is this? I am still dreaming about chocolate and…” [“Don’t tell me you forgot our date today, Miss Mcguffin?”] My eyes flung wide open. I sat up, checked my phone screen and saw “Slyvester’s name”. ‘Oh sh*t.’ “Slyvester! I am sorry. Am I late, I will…” I stopped talking when I saw the time from the clock on my table. ‘It’s 5 a.m.’ “Slyvester, it’s 5 a.m.” [“Yup. And the first course on our date will start at 5 a.m. I will be waiting for you outside the boarding house. See ya!”] Tut tut tut… “That damn man is crazy.” I prepared myself in haste. And look what I found when I looked in the mirror! I have a pimple on my left cheek! “What the hell!” Pimple really knows when to appear. The rule was to appear on the most special day. Darn it. “Should I put a band-aid on it?” After a quick make-over
Third Person's POV“Tada! The sea is so beautiful, right?!”The cliché date starts with seeing the ocean early in the morning. Ryan thought that the unexpected Slyvester would choose another route. But just like the date she always saw on television; Slyvester brought her to the seaside.‘I just got goosebumps after guessing it right,’ Ryan murmured inside her head, caressing her arms.She looked at the guy who was raising his arms while looking at the sea.‘At least this is better than visiting a volcano and bungee jumping on the crate with an adventurous guy like Slyvester.’ She sighed as she shook her head.Even if the setting was cliché, Ryan should not forget that she came here with Slyvester. “The sun’s about to rise, dude,” Ryan said while looking at the sky.“Right. It will come out,” Slyvester said before holding her hand. Surprised at the sudden contact, Ryan looked at their hands.Yes, they are on a date.But holding each other’s hand when they still don’t have a lab
“I feel so full. That was the best breakfast ever! Right?” Slyvester said to Ryan as they walked out together from the restaurant. “I agree that they have delicious food. But the best breakfast? You always said that every single day, Slyv.” A food lover like Slyv only chuckled. When he looked back at Ryan, he only noticed the bandaid on her left cheek. “Why do you have bandaid on your cheek? Something happened?” He raised his hand, but Ryan moved backward before Slyvester could touch the bandaid. “T-This is nothing,” Ryan, who wanted to hide her pimple from Slyvester, lied. When she turned her head away, she saw a couple walking toward the parking lot. They were clinging to each other, whispering sweet words. “Baby, are you a sugar?” the man asked his girlfriend. “Sugar? Why?” “Because you’re the only thing that could make my life so sweet.” The girl hit his shoulder while giggling. Slyvester and Ryan blinked their eyes. They both caressed their arms, and crept out.
