Chapter 29: Chapter 29

When Chaylen walked out of the boarding house and went to the garden, he saw a wet chick with blue hair.

“Dude, what happened to you? Where poultry did you come from?” Chaylen teased Slyvester, who had his mouth dropped.

Slyvester’s head has sticky liquid on it, on which made Chaylen cracked in laugh.

“Did you come out from an egg just now?” Chaylen added while laughing.

“Chaylen, I am not in the mood to play with you. So shut your mouth,” Slyvester threatened before he walked inside the boarding house.

As soon as Slyvester went away, Chaylen held his tummy and laughed as much as he wanted. But when he saw Ryan sitting on the bench, his smile slowly faded.

He watched her waved her hands while complaining, “Argh! This is so sticky!”

Chaylen approached her and Ryan lifted her head up to look at him.

“What is this? Did you fight with Slyvester?”

“I did not,” Ryan answered. “Why would I fight him?” she murmured before standing up. She walked towards the boarding house, but stopped when Chaylen spoke again.

“I remembered what happened between us before.”

Ceasing her feet, Ryan looked back.

Chaylen forged a cough. Without meeting her eyes, he continued.

“I am so sorry for what I did. If you can, please forget what you saw.”

Even if he won’t ask her, Ryan will forget it. She knew that his pain is not something that she can share with anyone. It’s true that Ryan isn’t fond of Chaylen. But as a human being, she wanted to respect his private life.

“But about the hug, don’t assume anything. It has no meaning,” Chaylen said.

Ryan’s worried expression shifted in annoyance. “Even if you hug me a million times, I won’t assume anything. I don’t have even a teeny weeny bit interest of you as a man.”

‘It hurts my pride,’ Chaylen complained inwardly before he quickly looked back at her.

As he wanted to gain his ego, he bit his natural red lips and brushed his hair sexily using his palm. Chaylen gave her a languid stare, a gaze that can swoon other women.

“Are you really sure that you won’t fall for my charm? Huh?” Chaylen asked in husky tone.

Ryan, the woman he’s seducing looked at him with her lifeless eyes.

“You never failed to waste my time, Chaylen,” she said. Ryan shook her head and walked.

Chaylen believes that this should not end just like this.

‘My pride cannot take this. What Chaylen wants, Chaylen gets!’ he told to himself before he suddenly sat down and covered his left eye.

“Ouch! Argh! Sh*t!” Chaylen winced in pain. “S-Something got in my eye!”

While he was acting, Ryan laughed at him.

“Can you stop acting? It isn’t creative,” Ryan protested.

“Why would I act if it is really painful? You have no heart,” Chaylen lied while brushing his eyes. As he brushed it, his eye went red and teary. He didn’t mean to rub it hard, but thanks to that, Ryan believed his prank.

“Is t-this for real?” Ryan asked worriedly.

Hearing her voice, Chaylen celebrated inwardly.

‘The plan will work,’ he cheered.

During the days he spent with Ryan, Chaylen found out her weaknes. Ryan can get easily pity those who are in need for help. She maybe acts boyish, but her heart is soft. Therefore, Chaylen wanted to use this to seduce her.

He’s only seducing her to gain his pride. Not because he’s interested in dating her. How can he date someone who saw a lot from his life?

“Does it still hurt?” Ryan asked as she approached him and peeked on his face.

“It is,” Chaylen acted. He lifted his head and showed his left eye. “Can you blow it for me?” he asked.

Chaylen’s plan is to use his handsome face to lure the innocent lamb. He will act as if he went out of balance and then he will pin her down. This is s strategy that gave pounding hearts to lot of women he met.

“You are like a child,” Ryan complained while leaning closer. “You are not dying yet. Don’t over react.” Then, she gently blew on his eyes.

Chaylen readied himself to push her down but…

“Still hurt? Chaylen?”

When Ryan called her named in worried tone and asked him if it is still hurt, Chaylen’s knees weakened. He looked up and stared at her face.

Ryan isn’t the most beautiful girl he met.

Actually, he dated prettier women before. There are model, celebrity and conglomerate. However, compared to them, Chaylen suddenly thought that Ryan exceededed them on some way.

As he kept on staring at her face, Chaylen’s butt fell down on the ground. He looks like an ice cream which was melted in the road.

“What happened to you?” Ryan asked when he saw his odd actions.

Chaylen wanted to ask the same question to himself.

‘What is happening to me? Why do I feel suddenly nervous in front of her?’

“I am o-okay,” Chaylen said in slow pace while holding his breath.

He quickly stood up and then dashed inside the house. When he’s out of her sight, Chaylen’s knees gave in and he had to lean on the wall to support himself.

Catching his breath, which he held for a long time, Chaylen pressed his chest.

He couldn’t believe this.

Chaylen was stunned. The womanizer’s charm were stolen from him. He was uncomfortablty perflexed.

“It’s f*cking weird that she made my heart beats like this,” he murmured as his face turned red.

His plan is to seduce her. But it seems his seducing went on the wrong way.

Vincent and Ryan walked out of the boarding house together.

Ryan wears a simple baby blue dress. Vincent wears black suits.

“My dress is fine, right?” Ryan asked Vincent as if asking for his approval.

Vincent nodded his head without looking at her dress. “Hmmm. It’s fine,” he replied.

“Tsss,” she clicked her tongue. “But you didn’t even look at me,” Ryan complained.

Vincent just laughed at her.

Shaking her head, Ryan diverted her attention and imagined how much she’ll eat later.

“I am excited to eat many. I bet the foods there will be expensive,” she said.

Vincent figured out that if there’s no food, Ryan won’t probably agree to come with him.

What is Vincent’s reason for asking Ryan to come anyway?

He does not know the exact reason.

It just that Vincent has no idea who to invite, and it will be a waste to throw the extra invitation.

Vincent does not want to bring Slyvester, because he would feel like watching over a kid. If he will bring Kyle with him, he feared that people would think that Kyle is his boyfriend, because he clings too much if he’s shy. Chaylen and Terban aren’t in the choices.

Among the people in the boarding house, Vincent thought that the only normal person whom he can bring with is Ryan. In addition to that, Ryan is entertaining for Vincent.

The two of them walked towards Vincent’s expensive motorcyle. When suddenly, someone blocked their way.

“Where are you going? Why are you dressing like that?” Terban asked.

No one among the two answered his question. But Terban guessed it right anyway.

“Don’t tell me that you two will attend the wedding together? Ryan, you will come with this b*stard?” Terban asked while pointing his index finger to Vincent.

“If you are going to annoy us, just quit it. I will eat free food so don’t be a villain,” Ryan responded. She walked past him, but Terban blocked her way again.

“Let’s talk,” Terban asked.

Vincent’s eyes thinly narrowed to Terban. He really wanted to know why Terban is so eager to talk with Ryan. But since they have short time, Vincent had to take Ryan away.

“Ryan, we will get late,” Vincent sid.

“Then just go alone,” Terban told Vincent with a glared.

Losing her patience to deal with Terban, Ryan complained, “Go away! Stop blocking our way, will you?”

Since time is ticking, Vincent held Ryan’s hand. He pulled her away, but Terban was quick to hold Ryan’s other hand.

Just like before, Ryan was put between Terban and Vincent’s fight.

“Let go,” Terban warned Vincent. “Let go of her hand. Right now.”

“I don’t want to,” Vincent replied.

Vincent hates people like Terban. He despises those who act almighty, that’s why as much as Terban wanted to get something, it provokes Vincent not to give what Terban wants.

As they looked at each other as if they will soon draw their guns, Ryan suddenly spoke in loud voice.

“What are you two doing?!” Ryan complained before she pulled her hands out of their grips. She looked alternately at them and added, “I know that the two of you have crush on me. But I am not enjoying this love triangle!”

Vincent stared at her in awe.

Even Terban’s mind went blank as soon as he heard her accusation.

Who likes who?

“I will go to the wedding reception and eat free foods. No one can stop me. Okay?!” Ryan announced. “Let’s go, Vincent!”

With Vincent, Ryan walked away and left the speechless Terban.

After a while, Terban started to murmur.

“What kind of b*llsh*t is that?” Terban asked before walking to the other side like a robot.

Meanwhile, Vincent stared at the woman and laughed inwardly.

'So, Ryan thought that we are doing this because we like her. Damn it. She never fails to surprise me. I am getting more entertained,’ Vincent thought.
