ChantriaWe chose to have dinner at an unli Samgyeopsal because they both love Korean food. Honestly, I had never tried Korean food before. What I usually eat in Canada are Canadian, Thai, and Mexican foods. I didn't even eat Filipino foods there unless Carleigh cooked it since she loved it.Lorreine likes Samgyeopsal and Louella likes Japanese foods. They already had ramen last time, so Louella gave way today for Korean food.While we were eating, I couldn't help but be jealous of their friendship. They were very close even though Louella was really quiet. That simple handing out of the dish was so natural to both of them. It was like they had some kind of telepathy.I have a friend in Canada, Jackson. But we are not this close. Maybe we're close when we're on tour or at parties. We both loved to travel, especially hiking. That was where we both met, so that was how we bonded. But I didn't know him personally.I mean, I didn't know everything about him. I don't even know what his dre

ChantriaAs expected, Iwatani is already waiting for me outside while leaning on the door of his car. He opens it for me, so I only weakly thank him.We spend the whole day together again. I know I can't avoid talking to him because almost everything I have to do today has something to do with him. But as much as possible, I don't want to talk to him when it's not really necessary.If it's about school stuff, I'll talk to him. If it's about the gym, I can handle that. If it's about Aling Tryna, I'll go with the flow. But I can't deal with him any more than that. I can't stand hearing his lame jokes anymore and laugh like it's nothing.It seems that he has no intention of talking to me either, so everything will be easier. I think it's even in his favor because he doesn't have to fake everything for me anymore. He should have told me about it before so that he wouldn't have a hard time living with me. We can be like this from the start. I wish there are no unnecessary attachments.Afte

Chantria“Your twin’s friend, Carleigh, used to be my friend too,” Iwatani began. We were in their backyard overlooking passing cars. We were both drinking coffee after dinner.I listened quietly to his story. As I said, I would let him explain his true feelings. If he was angry with me, I needed to accept it.“We met because we used to go to the same gym in Canada. When my father was still alive, he always took me there because the teaching was better than here. Also, your family’s main business was there, so I had to learn it too.”“So, you were friends since you were young,” I said, “but why didn’t I know you? I often went to the gym with her and Chanel.”He took a sip of his coffee before speaking. “I used to see you with Carleigh, but every time you arrived, I was leaving. Unlike you, who could go to the gym any time, I had a specific schedule. It just so happened that you and Chanel were always late, so you didn’t know me.”I chuckled. “Yes, Carleigh often goes to the gym early.

ChantriaBefore we went home, Iwatani was called back to the office, so I had no choice but to go with him. I'm so tired today that I just want to go home and lie down on my bed.The thing is, I woke up early to go to the gym. And at school, the teachers gave us a lot of work to do. Not to mention there were homework assignments that need to be passed tomorrow. I really need to rest for a while, and ASAP!"Wait for me here," Iwatani said. "I'll be quick."I've been waiting outside the office for almost an hour now, but Iwatani hasn't come out yet. It would have been okay if this hallway had air conditioning. But because it's facing the sun, I'm almost melting.I wanted to knock or something to say goodbye to him, but maybe he's in a meeting. So in the end, I just sent him a message.I decided to go ahead to the parking lot and wait in the car instead. I don't have his car key, but at least there's no sun shining directly on me there. I'm not really the patient kind.On my way to the p

ChantriaLorreine immediately commented as she got off the tricycle, "Your house is so big for just yourself." Louella also got off and immediately looked around. After a while, she turned to me and asked, "Are you joining us for the review?""Nope. I live here," I pointed to the adjacent house."That's right. You guys were childhood best friends," Lorreine giggled at what she said, but we just ignored her. She really is playful, anywhere she goes. She doesn't choose any specific place. But it's not like it's a bad thing."Let's go inside so we can start and finish early," I invited them.I went in first, and they followed. Iwatani said his goodbyes and told me to call him if we needed anything. I didn't know what we would need him for, but I just let it go."Dope!" exclaimed Lorreine when she saw my mini bookshelf in the living room. She started reading the blurbs there while Louella started organizing her things."You're not really fond of reading," said Louella.Lorriene grinned. "

ChantriaAfter I wiped my tears, we continued with the review. I'm so thankful to them, especially Lorreine. They didn't ask any more questions even though I know they were both very curious about why I cried.Knowing Lorreine, I expected her to bombard me with questions, but she didn't. She respects me, and I couldn't help but tear up again. Fortunately, I was able to hold it in because it would have been too embarrassing in front of the two of them.I only met them recently, and here I am, already being dramatic. Even with Iwatani, whom I've known longer, it was only recently that I opened up. Maybe it's because they're women, and somehow I know they understand how I feel.The hormones.We decided to sleep early because we'll all be going to the gym together tomorrow before work. Even though we only had a brief chat, it seems like there's no problem with them."What are you talking about?" Lorreine exclaimed. "We have many years left to do overnight stays. If you want, we can even s

Chantria“Our class is having a field trip on the 18th,” our adviser said. “So, I know how excited you all are. But I need to remind you that the deadline for the activity in our subject is before the trip. Failure to submit the activity and failing grades mean you can’t participate in the trip.”Some groaned at the announcement, while others didn’t care. I couldn't help but sigh because I really hate physics. I'm not confident that I'll pass the activity given to us.First, I can't copy. Second, I have no one to copy from in case there is. And third, the content of the activity varies depending on which row you're sitting in.Iwatani is sitting beside me, so his content is different. Lorreine and Louella are sitting in the same row, so they have the same content, while I am different from the two of them. Even if I were to group with any of them, I would be secure.“Stop sighing,” Iwatani said, and I looked at him before pouting. “You've been sighing for a while now. Is there somethi

Chantria"Wear this," said Iwatani as he still attached the apron to me.I almost couldn't breathe while he put on the apron for me. I just swallowed hard while staring into space. And when he finished attaching the apron to me, that was the only time I took a breath.Fortunately, he was already busy looking at the ingredients and equipment we would be using, so he didn't notice my reaction. I took deep breaths repeatedly to calm my racing heart."I'm going to teach you how to cook Adobo. This is one of the easiest dishes to cook, so I think you'll get it right away. The pork is still a bit tough, so let's boil it first."I stood beside him and watched what he was doing. He instructed me to chop onions and a few other ingredients to add to the Adobo.This was our go-to dish in Canada because it was dad's favorite. I've never got to cook it for him, though, because we had a cook. But now that I'll be learning this, I'll make sure to cook it for dad the next time we see each other.I do

Chantria"I'll just bring these tomorrow for the trip," I answered Lorreine's question. "How about you? Are you buying anything for tomorrow too?""Of course! We bought a lot of snacks because I'm sure many of our classmates will ask for some during the trip. They're all peasants," she said, making us laugh. I didn't know our classmates well enough to know if she was telling the truth or not. I would find out tomorrow on the trip. But since Lorreine was close to all of our classmates, it seemed likely that what she said was true.We all looked at Iwatani as he approached us, panting. When he noticed that I wasn't alone, he took a step back and had something hidden behind his back. I didn't ask what it was because Lorreine bombarded him with questions."Have you finished shopping? Why don't you just come with Louella and me? We're planning to have lunch and go to the arcade. If you're not busy, that is. It's okay if you don't want to."We looked at each other and gestured to decide who

ChantriaI just realized that I fell asleep. I woke up when I heard our teacher's voice. I don't know at which part of the movie I fell asleep, but because of the long journey, I couldn't resist it.Iwatani was already awake when I opened my eyes, and my head was resting on his shoulder. I didn't feel it anymore, but I just ignored it.I fixed myself up because we were almost there. I really wanted to get out because I was starting to feel numb from sitting for so long. I tried to stretch because of the body pain."Oh no! I forgot to bring my sunscreen," I heard Lorreine say from behind us. "I remember taking it out of the plastic, but I think I forgot to put it in my bag." I heard a hint of envy from her, so I laughed softly.I took my sunscreen from my bag and partially stood up to peek at them. "Here. Use mine. It's still full."She pretended to cry. "You're my lifesaver, Seanne. Thank you so much!"I chuckled at her reaction."Hey," Iwatani called. "Sit down. The driver might sudd
