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

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

Looking outside the lifting cubicle, Slyvester was in a foul mood. “Look! People are getting smaller! Wow!” the boy gasped while looking down. Slyvester stared at the boy. ‘If not because of this boy, it should be Ryan and me together.’ He felt so bad that the romantic ride on the Ferris Wheel turned out to be babysitting a boy he doesn’t even know. “Can I ask something?” the boy mumbled while looking through the glass window. “What?” Slyvester answered with a flat voice. “Are you and that lady’s boyfriend?” Slyvester suddenly thought that this boy was cute. “Do we look like a couple?” smiling, he responded. “No. You don’t look good together.” ‘Nope. He’s not cute at all,’ Slyvester changed his mind. “That was so adorable, kiddo,” Slyvester said while pinching his cheek. “Ahh! That hurts!” The kid complained, holding his reddened cheeks. ‘Terban isn’t here, but I could see his soul through this boy,’ Slyvester thought while faking a smile. “That’s not cool, bro. You kep

Vincent noticed Ryan’s wavering feelings from a long time ago. And he knew that a prideful man like Terban would notice it too.“Welcome home,” Vincent greeted Slyvester with a smile.The Grim Reaper standing on the door made Slyvester step backward. There was no escape route as Vincent pulled his ear and dragged him inwardly into the house. “Ahhh! AHhh! Vincent! Ouch! Wait a minute! I am sorry! Sorry!”Slyvester shouted in shrieking pain, and the witness around did nothing but enjoy the view. Chaylen sat on the couch while cutting his nails and watching the murder scene that was about to unfold in front of his bare eyes.“You promised me before that you would never use my motorbike without my consent,” Vincent said sarcastically.Slyvester pushed him away and held his ear. “I did ask you!”“Your honor, the defendant was telling the truth,” Chaylen said, “Mr. Slyvester left a note on your forehead. And for a moment, I thought you became an office table. Pfft…!”Vincent vowed that a

“Who kissed you? Point him right now.” The night deepened and there was still no electricity. Deafening silence echoed in the boarding house as no one made a noise or speak up after Chaylen gave the dare to Ryan. He sounded so sure about his question, which Ryan could not answer. “Why can’t you do it?” Chaylen asked in a cold voice. Action speaks louder than words. It was true because even if Ryan could not say anything, her eyes did the job. She pored to Slyvester, which added to the suspicions of everyone. Slyvester lowered his head as he couldn’t find the words to say at this moment. The electricity came back and light enveloped the space. Ryan stood up. “S-Since the electricity is on, I’ll go back to my room.” She jolted back to her room, as fast as thunder chasing after lightning. The six men were left in the living room. “Did I… process it right?” Segi mumbled. “Someone among you kissed my cousin!” He shouted and pointed to them. No one replied. He was about to c
